I really need to play 13th Age sometime. And the Paranoia cop splat. Or the high programmer one. The High Programmer thing would actually probably be pretty good for pbp.

Pfffttt. Lasers & Feelings redressed as Swords and Sorcery. If your game doesn't fit on one side of a single 8x11 with room for a bit of art, why should I bother?  That said playing a few JRPGs lately, especially FF XIV has given me a bunch of neat ideas for 13th Age style boss monster moves.

It confuses dumb people who think the forum actually uses filters and that grognards.txt controls the Super Secret SA Paywall for Get Rid of Pesky Moose and Squirrel.

Darksaber posted:I don't know that one, might as well edit it in too. What did some game dev who thought he was a member of the Soviet army do? Red Orchestra was a mod for UT2k4 and later full game where the idea was it was realistic; guns were deadly, classes had historical loadouts and were capped variably, tanks and vehicles were fully modelled (so unless you wanted your head blown off you stayed buttoned up which practically blinded you), maps and objectives were historical, etc. Except they based the fatigue, carrying capacity and accuracy while standing and crouching off of what they as goony arsed game devs could pull off, so you could run for about 4 seconds before collapsing of exhaustion, carrying more than a longarm and some grenades cut this further, and submachine guns were uncontrollable.

But yeah the lethality would certainly have to be toned down. I mean, unless you want Save-Or-Die mechanics that'd make even the most hardcore DnD grogs take pause.

potatocubed posted:Also a reminder: regardless of what Mearls has or hasn't done with this investigation, this remains provably true: Even as one of the people at the knife-edge of both of these people's abuse, this is the real issue. I couldn't give less of a gently caress how Mearls is handling accusations of Smith's badgering harassment, because he's a fan of Zak's blog. Dude didn't wake up one morning and realize Zak and Tarnowski are toxic, he chose them because they are virulently old-school. Mearls reads and enjoys these blogs, which means he's a fan of this sort of discourse. Mearls is placating you because that's his job. I mean, look at the guy's Twitter - it's basically a how-to on being noncommittal and telling everyone what they want to hear. I'm out of fucks to give on that front. I'm just sad because the vision of Tarnowski and Smith is what Mearls (and by extension, Wizards) wants D&D to be.

Ewen Cluney posted:Yeah, I think I'm just done with D&D. It was never in any way special to me in the first place, and right now the culture around it is hurting people I respect and care about. And there are just so many other amazing RPGs out there, I lose nothing from dropping D&D. There are so many D&D-like games that literally the only thing I'm actually losing is the words "Dungeons & Dragons" on the cover. I don't run fantasy, but if I did I'd use, i dunno, FAE or something. And I'd run it as the most Ian Livingstone Fighting Fantasy/Candlemass thing ever. DARE YOU TREK TO THE HOLE OF GHOSTS AND PUT AN END TO THE SORCERER'S FOUL PLOTS ONCE AND FOR ALL?

There is literally no fantasy setting or style that 3E, Pathfinder, or 5E does better than Dungeon World, FAE, GURPS, or literally any other fantasy-oriented product on the market. Dungeons and dragons wants to die, so let's let it.

Impermanent posted:GURPS was my first love, my true love. For me, GURPS was that first long-term relationship out of high school where I made a bunch of mistakes but learned a lot. Sometimes when I get drunk or I'm lonely I think about GURPS and I want that feeling of being young and desired back. Then I end up reading a GURPS book and realize that while I still appreciate her company, we've both moved on and are looking for different things. She's into Tactical Shooting, I'm into storygames.

Spincut posted:Where does one...start with GURPS? Like, do I just need the first book of Dungeon Fantasy or is there a core GURPS book or something like that? You just need the Basic Set. What Dungeon Fantasy does is take the full character creation rules that are in the Basic Set and turn them into templates for classes and races that you just grab and customize a bit so you don't actually have to do the whole building a character from first principles thing. It cuts down on the sorta overwhelming amount of skills and advantages and disadvantages that are in the core game and lets you see that a Wizard would have A skills and B powers while a thief would have C and D and a fighter would have E and F. When you become more familiar with GURPS you can ditch that template system entirely to make any concept you have in mind, but between templates and the character building software I haven't sat down and made a character from scratch in like 6 or 7 years.

GURPS Lite for a taste, then start with the Basic Set, Characters for players, Campaigns for GMs. GURPS owns, just don't get caught up in thinking you need to use or allow everything. Think of it more as a basic system toolkit for making your game.

I love the idea that they have to gag Ed Greenwood at public events and pay him not to let half of the stuff he comes up with reach the light of day. Why can't he be like R.A. Salvatore, who is like Robert E. Howard if he was from Jersey, not overtly racist, and didn't have a literal juvenile concept of woman?
