[PREVIEW] Design Session #41: The Final (?) Playbook Punch-Up, Part 4

E

<html>This month, we review the Alchemist. The book has a lot of neat Moves, but they tend toward being very situational, and arguably should just be things that a player can do with a standard Challenge Fate draw. What can we do to spice this bad boy up?Next month, we'll be reviewing The Beast, The Wildcard, and possibly The Conductor, so feel free to send in emails regarding those playbooks!</html>

With Daft Punk's 2013 album of the summer containing the namesake of this season's final antagonist, it felt right!

E

<html>We're back, and we're finally fixing up this damn Virtuoso book! Does it really need as much as an overhaul as we thought? Is there something we can do to better signal what we intend this book to be? How much of a headache are we giving Mike in reconfiguring Bob? Why do we have such a hard time with the Virtuoso when the Veteran is basically pitch-perfect?Next month, we'll be tackling the Alchemist, and hopefully the Beast as well!</html>

<html>Hey, everyone! It's Christina. I'm taking over this feed for a sec 'cuz Harvey and I decided to restart Bumper 2 Bumper. We've got a lot more free time these days, so what better way to use it than to rank every pinball table in existence!* Strix joins us as our special guest this week to help us answer such question as: Does talking about balls ever stop being funny?

[PREVIEW] Design Session #39: Final (?) Playbook Punch-Up, Part 2

E

<html>This month, we set out with the goal to review the Infiltrator, Virtuoso, and Alchemist playbooks, and we managed to do... about half of that. The Infiltrator took a fair bit longer than we expected it to, and while we're happy-ish with the current state of the Virtuoso, some of you out there sent in suggestions that have us thinking about rebuilding the whole thing from the ground up, which we may end up doing next month!In the meantime, feel free to send in more recommendations about the Virtuoso, the Alchemist, and the Veteran to [email protected]! As always, feel free to send in emails with any other thoughts you have as well, but we'll probably be putting any other emails on the back-burner.</html>

[PREVIEW] Design Session #38: The Final (?) Playbook Punch-Up, Part 1

E

<html>We've tweaked a lot of mechanics over the past several months, and it's time that we took a trip through the Playbooks to make sure that they're compatible with the newest version of the rules. Also, a few months back, we decided that we wanted to lean further into Eidolon as a narrative game, and want to replace more "mechanical" moves with more flavor and character. This month, we rework the Navigator and the Vanguard. Feel free to write into [email protected] with thoughts on how to punch-up the Infiltrator, the Alchemist, and the Virtuoso, the subjects of next month's episode!</html>

But we're still here to talk about a very lame villain who gets drowned in poopwater, and insists on continuing to be a problem even after that!GENERAL CONTENT WARNING: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is often a crass series that incorporates a wide variety of fraught subject matter, and prioritizes using that fraught material for high drama and unconventional action scenes over approaching the subjects with appropriate care or consideration. We'll include more specific content warnings when covering especially rough episodes, but as a baseline, assume that most topics are handled with insufficient levels of sensitivity. Also, JJBA is a show that heavily features bloody violence and body horror.</html>

Also, experience has been wonky in 2E from the start. We're constantly having to fudge numbers to avoid obvious feel-bad situations, and none of the minor tweaks we've come up with to fix it have helped. What can we do about that?</html>
