Just posted this on one of their posts. They decided to block me like a baby instead of talking about it like a man.

IIRC they're the same guys who made Dundjinni, a really old mapping software that they just pulled the plug on, both it and its site. Always a chance it could happen again for CC, but you never know.

CC's been around since the 80's. It used to be advertised in The Dragon magazine.
Dundjinni appeared in the 2000's, offered discounts if you had a CC license, then just vanished. I don't think Profantasy offered Dundjinni. Maybe bought them out, but I don't think they owned it initially.

No I don't. I just kick them out.
Do GM's not do that anymore?
Anyway, since we're on the topic of map programs, does anyone have a recommendation for one to use for modern settings? Since our Deviant game is coming up, I'm wanting to come up with suitably harrowing laboratories and such.
Did someone say BUNYIP?!

I never understood why anyone would ever make the leap that orcs = black people, you'd have to be a knuckle dragging moron.
Now, if we started speaking about drow, on the other hand...

Excellent. Not the only one who thought of that when someone said Bunyip.
I should probably go back to my tism hub in the WoD general though.

A society full of murderous, backstabbing psychopaths where the women are loud and rule everything? Seems legit.I never understood why anyone would ever make the leap that orcs = black people, you'd have to be a knuckle dragging moron.

Then you have to kick them out and deal with the autistic meltdown. You have to filter for things you shouldn't need to filter for. Like a lesbian on the dating scene who has to work in "Do you have a penis?" into the 'getting to know you' repertoire.
I like building with Maptool, the trick is finding modern/sci-fi assets (and getting familiar with maptool if you aren't).
The CSUAC (collection Dunjinni forums user-posted assets) has modern and scifi sections, give them a look.

Has anyone played Sentinel Comics or the Fantasy Flight Star Wars game? I just bought them and want to know what to expect.

I've played Edge of Empires, and it's pretty good. Just expect a decent slew of edge cases where you get a bunch of positive effects on your rolls but no successes to actually USE it.

So I might finally try my hand at 3.5e for my second ever time DMing for my irl friends (and if not, Im gonna try some of the FLGS’s relatively nearby and fill in that desperately needed niche). Since I’ve only really played a single gestalt game (as a knight/cleric) and a pbp game (as a crusader), I’m wondering how much the class tier list actually matters when youre playing with dudes for fun vs playing with powergamers.

From my experience at most of the starting levels 1-9, the bigger problem is that some classes have boring choices, not their placement in tier lists.
This is why prestige classes were so popular.

free apps if people complain about the dice or you don't constantly want to translate rolls.

Oh god yeah, you need those if you don't want to translate what each number on the d6 means. It's another knock I'd give it, but it's still a good system.

I've played FFG Star Wars . I don't like it at all. You have to come up with a story for literary every single die roll. But sometimes you just have to know if you succeed or not. More complex than it needs to be. Character creation is very complex and the organization of the core books are bad.
I like the original WEG Star Wars RPG better.

You're going to have someone who's idea of fun is powergaming. Shut it down early or roll with it.
The last time I GM'ed 3.5e was so long ago... it was a (mildly shameful) extremely homebrewed fan-setting for newbies with essentially homebrew only/SRD-compatible spell list. So it was essentially pre-gens with newbies, and the newbies were there mostly there for the story....what I'm saying is there were no power gamer shennanigans unlike in my the other couple 3.5 games I ran or played in.

Disagree with the FFG complexity element, since I never had issues with Char creation. Didn't have issues with the book organization either. Do agree that WEG is simpler and easier to play. Also agree it's fucking stupid you can roll like 4 advantage but still not succeed because you got one success and a failure, which cancel out. Also WEG has a fuckload more lore in it with a shitload of splats, which is FUN.
You like splats, WEG is your go-to.
The trick is to ensure the powergamer benefits others besides themselves. If they can't do that then you need to shut it down. If they're not doing it out of malice, maybe try to limit it to SRD only, since the worst excesses besides casting relies on splats.
