@lextenebris that is indeed one of the best mechanics there is. It set out to design for one effect, and does it beautifully. Marvellous design.@dan

I remember way back when I considered rpg.net basically as a rpg review site. These days that's no longer much of a thing. Is there any place to go for rpg reviews these days? Is it just the walled garden of drivethrurpg?#ttrpg #reviews

I am bombarded from many different venues of notifications of the Ars Magica and Trail of Cthulhu Kickstarters. The latter might have been interesting if it weren't for the fact that I never felt the 1st ed. lacked much, and I haven't played it much. Ars Magic is more complicated.1/2#Kickstarters #ArsMagica #TrailOfCthulhu

I read a summary, somewhat facetious, of a typical Ars Magica first adventure like this:..."players spend all time creating characters, their sanctum, their familiar, their shared library, magical and mundane defences, their list of spells and magical items, what they are studying right now, what they will study next, their teacher, their servants, their neighbours, ... , nearby magical creatures, ruins and potential sources of magical ingredients -- but never get to the first adventure "2/2

@lextenebris Well I loved those things, as they turned a lot of expectations of what a rpg should be around. I got myself a copy of the game because of that. I still respect it a lot, and tell people about it, and how they need to know about it to understand how our hobby has evolved.Sadly, for me those qualities always felt mostly like real life in academia. I am happy others have had fun with it. Then you are doing it right.

@lextenebris I'm not sure I believe that kind of magic system really belongs in another game, but it's kinda heartwarming to see it attempted for Ironsworn.The 4th ed Talislanta game also had a free form magic system, and it did turn out it didn't work that well. It was intended mostly as a tool for the GM, but it still felt out of place.Now, all this didn't stop me from once building a system like that, strongly influenced you might say, for Drakar & Demoner/Dragonbane. Never tried it out.

@gmcgath i really wish I could have liked that story better. I don't know why, but those "dogs" drove me nuts! I found them so annoying I could not finish the book!

@lextenebris @mattkay @shawntomkin I wont touch Mörk Borg with the proverbial ten foot pole, because I think it looks terrible and I can't stand it.

What do you do when it's christmas and you have all the time in the world? You could try using tar the wrong way, wiping out /bin and all tools there. Not that I recommend it or anything. #IamTheSysadmin #linux #FatFingers

@BrodieOnLinux while there's a point to presenting an interface that feels familiar, they lack somewhat in the virtual arena, though. Twisting a knob is much harder when you can't do the twisting motion. They often look pretty, though.
