How do they even manage it? - eviltoast

This meme uses the “Anime Girl Hiding From Terminator” template, in mexico filter, where the text ‘I, who can’t even write 100 spells for my TTRPG’ is layered over the anime girl, and ‘Rolemaster casually having 2000 spells in 162 spell lists and 15 magic classes’ in the Terminator, which is referring to the quantity of spells in the Rolemaster RPG’s Spell Law book, one of the fundamental books alongside Character Law & Campaign Law, and Arms Law & Claw Law. And yes, before you say it, I know they’re called professions, not classes.

    I was going to say something similar. If your book has hundreds of bespoke spells that’s kind of a minus. If they’re examples of what you can do with the underlying system (like mage the awakening does) then fine. But a dnd style list of unique effects with no real coherence is not good. Inelegant. Crufty.
