Before my group got bored with D&D and we decided to give it a break and switch to Mage, it got to a level I was prepping to have the this level 13 party fight Vecna and Zariel at once, just to make it at least a little hard.

Love it

And then he either got murdered by PCs or Metuzalah or exploded from Paradox, before turnign into ashtray.

Even in Heroic Fantasy the enemies should be challenging, while in D&D (not even 5e, 3.5 had this issue too), it's basically inevitable that high enough PCs will rollstomp everything, laughing all the way.

In oWoD meanwhile there is an entire book with ideas how Mages could fix a vampire and what would be the consequences.

Caine congratulates you on making him laugh before killing you.

"Have you seen Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?"

Exalted literally let's you have your own army of mortals and it functions like an equivalent of grenade in most normal games - something to just throw at the bad guy.

it sounds like the opposite to outsourcing - they want everything done in house so they get 100% creative control and 100% profit.

Actually well written Lawful Good characters getting along is so rare :)

Daimond is a fucking monopoly that held stranglehold on everything it coudl get its hands on, I hope the company closes and also hope someone manages to salvage all distributors affected, as Roll for Combat has some really good 5e and PF2 content.

And then there is Mage, where you get kicked in the ass and fly across the mat

I don't pressume I could listen to your songs anywhere?

Congratulations for the wedding!

Mage: the Ascension in a nutshell

Glad to see you back, lvoe this comic. Is Feyfire a reference to anything?

I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they're about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it's very Cointidental magic.

You may be onto something here.

I don't hate D&D, but I did notice how much harder combat gets from DM's side to prepare, and also how much more bored of it the players are. My players started doing everythign to spend more sessions on their own shenanigans, character moments, roleplay and NPC interactions. The thing is we love our campaign and characters, but are too high level to switch systems. So we're taking break to play short Mage: the Ascension campaign.

I am now learnign two different new systems, Mage and WFRP, pray for me.
