I probably shouldn't post this. I'm sleep deprived, stressed out, and after a week of events that included the death of a beloved family pet (Ginger) and learning that my son's school is shutting down after this year (which makes moving all the more imperative), I'll admit my perspective is more than a little skewed. However, most of what I'm ( Read more... )

Why do I think of Mory? Oh right, because there's only one solution to getting out of a situation, and it's one that's so clear to her, the person who designed everything. Even if the players come up with something else, it's wrong because it's not what she had planned.

(By the way, Darths and Droids is a great comic. You should be reading it.)

Okay, so I was feeling pretty shitty, but not so shitty that I can't enjoy some schadenfreude. This came up during a discussion about all the ways in which previous guild games have failed. FFRPG Monster Hunters has only been going for maybe a month now, and already they're chugging along on the SS Failboat.

[00:31:26] And ... uh ... FFMH [ ( Read more... )

I just want to write up a tiny medium-sized rant/explanation of something regarding FFRPG. Please, feel free to skip/ignore.

The Divination trait does not grant you clairavoyance, omnipotency, or omnisciency. If you take the Divination trait, your character does not suddenly become Miss Cleo, nor does your character gain 24/7 access to the ( Read more... )

When a GM says no to a request, the proper response is not to accuse the GM(s) of stifling your creativity and to pout because you can't do one thing. The proper response is to either accept the answer or politely ask, "What can I do instead to acheive my goal ( Read more... )

I think only two or three people might get this, but I still found it funny:

"Hi, miss healer lady. Mind giving me some pointers?"
"Don't get involved with married men."
"...okay..."

(Hjre = Newbie_X for those not in Triumph.)

Dear fellow gamers,

You say your character isn't vital to the plot and that nothing happens for you. Well, I have this novel idea, it's called roleplay. I know, it's crazy, but hear me out. You have to do more than show up for the session. You have to interact with the other PCs and the occasional NPC. It is from these interactions that ( Read more... )

There a couple of things bothering me right now when it comes to FFRPG and, specifically, Triumph player submissions.

First of all, RTFM. At level one, the highest rank you can have in any skill, language, or lore is 50%. It's right there in Chapter 2, you know, the one entitled "Character Creation." It's in a section labled "Skills" right ( Read more... )

FFRPG players, listen up because I'm only going to say this once:

Paladin =/= HealplzYes, yes, I know, Healing Wind is T: Party healing, BUT it's not meant to be a constant source of healing unless you have no other choice. Plus, when some members have 400 - 500 Hit Points and are getting sent into SoS, healing for 130 is only going to be a temp ( Read more... )

Remora, check out what you missed! Elisha, nope, this wasn't about goats. :(

I've already stated that if people who are not devs/GMs are not reigned in, I will walk. I won't take this bullshit happening everytime someone has a minor nitpick over language. Really, this was fucking ridiculous. Yes, I'm annoyed.
