Noita Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I don't get the reduction of APP as you get older. Why is my age affecting my ability to be charming? Especially for people the same age. I'm 47 and certainly don't think other late 40 year olds look uglier than they did ten years ago. I certainly dress much snapper than I did in my twenties. Plus I think some folk get more beautiful or handsome with age. I kinda get it if I'm dealing with young folk, but really is the old lady in the shop going to judge me when I'm still twenty years younger than her? (I don't use this in my games, so i'm just interested in why its a thing in the first place. I get the reduction of Str, con and or Dex.)

Google miserable old git pictures or grumpy old people pictures, Father Jack, Stadler and Wardolf, Victor Meldrew, etc. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/carol-e-wyer/men-and-grumpiness_b_5266944.html 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

soltakss Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Bear in mind, this is for a horror game set in the 1920s. People looked a lot older back then, by and large. My grandparents looked a lot older than my parents do at the same age, the further back you go, the older people looked when they got older. While the Grey Fox is not recent, Old Crones wrre far more common, I think. But, that is one of the rules that I would either enforce, ignore or house rule, depending on how I felt on the day. In any case, how manty CoC PCs/Investigators reach a grand old age? 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Guest Vile Traveller Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It's a sign of the times that at first reading of the title I took the topic to be abut an app that reduces your apparent age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
