Nah, they all get what they want. The world is saved, the idiot got the final blow and is hailed as a hero, the manipulator swindled a massive reward for their efforts, and the second idiot ate the reward. Or, more likely, the campaign falls apart long before they get to that bit.
As excited as I am to have more of this manga, the sudden snipe with two chapters in one day with a good few linguistic oddities by a group that demands you only use their site, but who also uses someone else’s translations to fill their backlog… I feel like I should wait a little.
The warrior went on a noble, world-saving quest, and they joined up with two idiots and a manipulator. Sounds like he’s not even smart enough to realise he’s also an idiot.
Meanwhile, the manipulator teamed up with three idiots, who she can probably manipulate easily. She’s going places.
Like a Lord of the Rings “fulfill your oath” sort of deal?
My first thought is brass, as in a machine made of brass gears. Because a machine has nothing in its mind but the instructions it was created with. But that might be too sci-fi, depending on what vibe you’re going for.
My second thought is statues, either marble or copper? The monuments of the nation’s heroes. It might not have the massive numbers that chaos does, but law need not match chaos when it can contrast it.
I’m a little shocked that Square Strategy isn’t a thing already. It seems like a bit of a gimme.
I am engaging with what was said, I just don’t agree with what was said.
the sense I get is that it’s more like Pathfinder with feat trees
It’s a class based levelling system, going from 1 to 20, where you get a skill and talent at 1st level based on your starting class, and then develop with every level you gain. You can mix classes as you level up and each class has different paths built into it. You can’t jump ahead to grab a later feature without first taking an earlier one, and you can’t stack the same feature from different sources for double the effect.
Are there differences? Yes. Is it very different? No. There is more to say how it’s similar than how it’s different. There are class systems that are very different, but this isn’t one of them.
Saying it’s not like D&D because it’s more like Pathfinder is not a great argument, considering Pathfinder is essentially a split branch of D&D. And since the headline lists both D&D AND Pathfinder, it’s still wrong.
The way they describe it, it’s still pretty similar to D&D. Level 1 to 20, gain a feature every level, features gained in order, multiclass to get more control over your features… Yeah, that’s D&D.
The original Megamind would still be there. It’s like how you can still watch a good version of Snow White if you want.
In the Supergirl tv show, there’s a hero called Dreamer. Basically, the powers are passed down from mother to daughter, and while everyone accepts Dreamer as a girl, they’re surprised when she inherits the powers and not her sister.
I read that as ffmpreg, and I thought it was some new ao3 trope where two girls impregnate a guy or something.
So, we know the reason they scratch their heads… Is there a reason for the cowlick? Cause I’m seeing a lot of cowlicks here…
Okay, but think about this: Groofy.
As soon as I typed that, I changed my mind. No longer defending groof.
No, they definitely asked the wrong question. If they ask “how can I do [thing]”, it assumes it’s possible to do [thing]. But if they can’t do [thing], the question is invalid, and there is no correct answer.
Honestly, the way you put it, it’s like they don’t actually want to fix the problem. They just want their solution to be right. Anyone who doesn’t tell them what they want to hear is the REAL problem, even if what they want to hear is a lie.
Do you want me to lie?
See, that’s the point of the XY problem. They asked the wrong question.
Playing Dragon Age in D&D simply would not work. Even after a significant amount of effort, you’d either end up with something entirely unlike Dragon Age or something that barely resembles D&D. So I have to tell them “no” or I’m lying. And if someone stops listening and considers me hostile because I’m not willing to lie to them, then it’s absolutely on them.
I have seen people try to add systems to D&D to let them play Dragon Age within the system. I have then turned my head to the left and looked at the Dragon Age RPG on my shelf. If you want to play Dragon Age as a TTRPG, I’ll tell you the easiest way to do that. No gutting, no retrofitting, no ship of Theseus…
If you see that as hostile, that’s on you.
I understood you. It just sounds horrible. Sorry, no, it’s actually worse. Side stories are part of the story, so it goes without saying they should have the same designers as the rest of the story. If you think they don’t count, that’s worrying.
I fully believe this guy has no idea how horrific the things he’s boasting about actually are.
