Quote from: Anon Adderlan;1121161Which reminds me...

I feel like I took sanity loss from reading that. You know, I've ran some pretty tasteless one shots for my crew way back in the day when we were young and dumb.. and it made us giggle inappropriately.... But, I have... no idea why that exists.

Quote from: Brendan;1121339Midnight really needed a Valis / Gnostic Christ figure or force.

A hidden good god would be easy to include. You could have a demigod of stealth, patron of night heroes, who might not be strong enough to grant spells to clerics, but certainly enough to give the humans and good demi-humans a spark of hope. The god would be dismissed as a myth, a rumor to be broken, but vandals will paint the god's symbol wherever they can. In fact, the demigod might only have one divine power: invisibility to Izrador.

I wonder if Midnight would be more fun played with Godbound.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1121364I wonder if Midnight would be more fun played with Godbound.

Or Exemplars & Eidolons?

It would work well with demigod PCs as a nascent pantheon battling to overthrow Izrador's Old Order. Very Nietzschean 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' - rather than have a good deity backing the PCs, the PCs become their own value creators and the hope of the world.

Quote from: Brendan;1120513Wow clever.  As an aside, I wonder how long it will be before the mask slips and you treat us to your inevitable alt-right sperg out?  Anyway, enjoy your day.





What she said.

Rand was a hack. And an ethnic particularist (which explains how she never turned her lens on herself or her own kind)...

Quote from: S'mon;1121424Or Exemplars & Eidolons?

E&E would work great too!

Translating the Midnight chargen powers would not be difficult. I agree on the PCs as nascent pantheon concept. LOTR Exalted might be really fun to play!

Quote from: Morlock;1121426ethnic particularist

an "alt-right" sperg out has got to be better than subversive hand wringing moralizing touchy feely emotional claptrap which dances around truths in an effort to preserve the delusions of popularity most have and i encourage such in the name of great justice.
"oh no people will think less of me if i don't bleat properly during the two minutes hate, better feign sympathy for the vile so i can still be invited to important gender reveals".
My advice is to give peoples feelings exactly the merit they deserve which is to say none. People only "care" what others think insomuch as they can attack them for deviation from herd thought in a vain and futile effort to elevate themselves as virtuous...given then that they don't thus really care what you think, why should you care what they think? i think most humans are a waste of meat, not worth the flesh they are printed on and i'll happily tell them as much the instant they want to try to paint me as evil for not sharing their delusions. speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Yeah, they are gonna ban you pretty soon I reckon.

Edit: I'm guessing you are surely an ethnic particularist too, right?

Let's just say I don't let people who have exercised their right to a thing tell me I don't have the same right. I am of subhuman stock from no one's perspective.

Define ethnic particularist, also kindly tell us who exactly is "her kind"

OK, but was she wrong?

Yeah I haven't heard that particular #NewSpeak word before either.

And given this definition she strikes me as exactly the opposite.

Not being a Rand fan I can happily agree that she might be wrong on some or all of her claims. But I need to see it proven not claimed.

By that definition ethnic particularism would be the same as ethno nationalist or almost. Which, by her own words she sounds as exactly the opposite, from what little I have read of her writings she strikes me as an individualist, which is antithetical to any kind of collectivism.

" It also will include a complete campaign frame which calls on the players to decolonize a fantasy setting." I could easily see this being useful for someone playing a Maztica game in which the Helmites of Faerûn have attempted to colonize the "new world" and they're fighting against the invading force. It ticks off quite a few boxes...

There is a recently released video game by an Eastern European developer in which a generic Native American vengefully kills invading white settlers.

You know what the irony is? Eastern Europe was not involved in the Columbian Exchange. They were victims of colonization themselves.

They are obviously not motivated by white guilt. I would hazard a guess that they were sublimating their own revenge fantasies.

Problem is this. The moral guardians and SJWs will just abandon ship and re-infest whatever party they think is the most viable for infiltration and subversion. This is exactly what happened to the left as the prior iteration of this mental disease was attached to the right. And I'd lay good odds that prior to that it had its claws in the left. And so on back ad nausium.

Since the 70s RPGs have been a growing target both as the monster that needs to be stopped, and the poor helpless who need to be protected as it has an ever growing fanbase which is huge now.

And what stock do you hail from?

Keep in mind that Ayn Rand was Russian, and the only people who would consider Russians to be sub-human would be the literal Nazis and also 19th-Century WASP's

Southern Europe invented Western Civilization and Eastern Europe did a lot to preserve Western Civilization.

Know your place, you uncouth profligate.
