Meinberg posted:It really depends on what your core engagement with the game is, and in what ways the game is failing to meet your expectations or desires. If your poor rolls are keeping you from participating in the game, that is an issue somewhere, either with the design of the game, the encounter design that your DM is presenting, or just a case of poor luck. If their poor combat rolls have consistently been *the* thing keeping them from participating in the game, and if it's happening with another player too, I kind of feel like that's less a poor luck problem and more a 'yo maybe this DM should give them opportunities to participate that don't involve stabbin' stuff a bunch and it is a Warning Sign if the DM is simply like WELP TOO BAD' problem Though if combat's what you're there for idk what to tell you. really idk in general the whole of my experience with D&D is playing a pixie barbarian in a 4e game with something like ten players that selfdestructed like 2-3 sessions in Ningyou fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Jun 1, 2015 |

Ningyou posted:is ke$ha the official soundtrack of gamma world I'm going to give it a shot! I think there's huge room in the setting as written. every player is two halves of different classes. wheeled octoid, atomic ai, psychic hummingbird, etc. play it loose and trashy, run every enemy straight and structural, and fill the world with slime.

Trash is a pretty cool aesthetic. There's something strangely magical about the junkyard, the culmination of useful garbage, ignored and tossed away, waiting for the careful to plunder its depths. Much like the human heart, in a way.

trash AND MORE SPECIFICALLY GAY ANIME TRASH is the only aesthetic i know also i'm not saying I'M a husk of skin and weird fleshy bits wrapped around a core of anime garbage and brought to life through the strange magicks of some ill-intentioned ""cummie conjurer"" but gay anime trash makes a nice replacement for a human heart, y'know, in a pinch i-i mean n-not that i'd know or anything i just read RENOWNED ONLINE MEDICAL AUTHORITY "weeb MD" a lot okay jeez

My first anime elfgame was ROBOTECH I played the BEEF BARON. He flew a robot that looked like it was wearing a tuxedo in its robot mode and looked like a really badly painted F-14 in its jet mode. We flew around, following the insane whims of Captain Random Table, and when we found bases filled with commie insurgents we'd pick up their jets and use them like golf clubs against cars and commies. I'm not sure if this is better or worse than Exalted.

holy poo poo the beef baron is my new favourite anime and i feel as though i will be forever indebted to you for introducing me to this deep-fried dandere delight also my first anime was a lighthearted spiritual sequel to Event Horizon that i ran in Maid RPG or this disaster of a Vampire game I played in high school that served as MY GATEWAY DRUG TO GAMES ABOUT ELFS idk does that count as sufficiently anime Ningyou fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Jun 2, 2015 |

that's the dumbest emoji i've seen all week like what is that even supposed to be, a long-dead laughing poop emoji spoken of only in centuries-old legend and reborn as an anime or something the key to good emojis is that htey communicate concepts and words and feelings and that is the equivalent of handing someone a sheet of sandpaper with a =^_^= drawn in the middle in chalk and being like NO SEE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MANGA IT'S JUST IN BRAILLE IS ALL it's just unclear and unhelpful GOD

I'll have you know that I've never played an anime elfgame, because my tastes are refined and high brow and such. That game where I repurposed D&D so that the PCs controlled giant robots with their mind and got a flying city and had to fight haughty bishonen precursors was absolutely not anime at all.

Yeah, that's what it was, Gunky Junket was just too genderqueer to handle. She wasn't an insane person posting 5,000-word rambling essays and PMing literally half the forums.

I keep trying to wrap my head around Chuubo, aka peak anime the game, but I feel as though I won't be able to grok the mechanics unless I actually play a game or two. In the meantime, OVA is a strong hit of anime elfgame...
