You mean every Keanu Reeves movie - ever?

@insomniac7809

Considering what movies tend to make the most money, I would imagine the contempt is overwhelming. I know mine is.

@chibichibi said in Magicy Shenanigans - high fantasy or more modern:

@Ominous I've been reading the Cross Gen comics again and have been inspired by the myth arc of The First and the world of Mystic. It could definitely play out as a cool L&L type game,

I am more inspired by Kill Six Billion Demons' central cityworld of Throne and the demiurges who are locked in a cold war. I could also see a world where numerous covenants/guilds/houses/universities/priories/whatever are constantly jockeying for position in some sort of senate. Maybe each org has one Grandmaster who has absolute control of the org, but everyone else is slowly waiting for the Grandmaster to die to then try to take the reins.

The first one sounds somewhat similar to an idea I've been bandying around in my head for a while. Instead of guilds I was thinking organizations like the covenants from Ars Magica or the Shek Pvar priories from Harn. Or maybe the families from Monarchies of Mau; though, I kind of want to use those for elves. However, those all could just be guilds in the end. I like the general idea. It really depends on the details and implementation.

EDIT - Well so far it seems people favor option 2, so you run with that and I'll run with option 1.

Bananas are white inside the peel, and they're delicious.

Also, I go away for a couple of days and this thread turns into a disaster area. I mean, I figured it was going to happen eventually, but it's sad that I missed it.

@HelloProject

Whiskey.

What about cereal juice that's been distilled and stored in a barrel for a while?

King of the Monsters: Lawyers? Simple because I like the visual image of Ace Wright the same height as the Empire State Building and pointing at it, yelling "Objection!"

@GreenFlashlight
US states. Canada has provinces not states.

@GreenFlashlight
At 3:35 he says that you cannot resist an unlawful arrest, which is not true in many states.

Clarification: Typically this requires excessive use of force by the officer in affecting the arrest first. I think it's only few states that allow resistance without excessive use of force

Would the skill is Firebending just show general ability in firebending without being tied to special abilities? Like would things like blue flames or lightning be locked behind something akin to D&D feats?

@Kestrel
Good video. He gets a few things wrong, but still a good argument.

@SinCerely
Ahhhh. That explains it.

@Ganymede said in Avatar / Korra game considerations:

The elements + spirit sounds like L5R to me.

A lot of L5R's systems are purpose built for the setting, so I'm not sure how easily it will be to extract them. Also, the elemental magic system is more akin to D&D than a freeform system like Ars Magica's. Though, Ars Magic comes with its own problems, mainly how tightly tied the system is to the setting.

Maybe Tenra Bansho Zero? Or what's the one anime RPG where you can pool rolls to build up your dice pool for a devastating action using all of the dice? That always struck me as very anime-esque with its "powering up" and leading the opponent on until they have blundered into your trap where you can unleash your devastating ultimate attack.

@SinCerely
Why didn't they convey these concerns at some earlier point in time?

@GreenFlashlight
Rubbernecking. You can't look away from the train wreck.

@saosmash
Do they utilize jew jitsu?

Also, I don't recall that thread, probably because I lost complete interest when it was a Discord server.

I have called off work today, which is like the 6th or 7th time this month that I have called off. I'll probably catch some disciplinary and my paycheck is going to be shit, but I am loving just sitting here, enjoying some juice and watching some mindless crap on Youtube rather than dealing with the stupid stress of my job.

@GreenFlashlight

God thinks you've been a very naughty person and need some punishing.
