Cthulhu Dreams posted:My tip: Unless you were making spreadsheets for the kingdom management stuff a hot knife was involved. The fundamental problem with the entire AP is the pacing doesn't work with the game system, and the kingdom building minigame was extremely terrible, so they patched it, and now it's merely 'very bad.' As a result I'm pretty dubious about anyone porting it unless they are going to change the underlying system and everything else. Yeah, the main thing I heard from some friends who played it was that it exacerbated the 15 minute adventuring day to an absurd degree.

Cassa posted:Playing it with 5e DnD, definitely finding it hard to be invested and the mechanics for the kingdom just appear dumb from the outside. Maybe replacing the system entirely with An Echo, Resounding or even Kingdom would work out better? An Echo would be easy enough to port since it's OSR

We just spent all that time learning how to play 5e, why learn something else? Fragged Empire posted an update, and I dig the variant on races, especially for Aeternum, though the Beast one sounds mostly bad?  Gosh these Tolatl's look so happy.

Though there are ways to handle a homage in a classy way, that's just fabulously ugly. Their Shadoloo knockoff is absolutely cringeworthy - Dictator had a genderswap and lost his pants! Cammy got a Harley Quinn two-tone! Goro got Blanka's color scheme! Yikes.

Of all the yesteryear memes to include in a ripoff fighting game, the pineapple apple pen guy is probably along the least suited. Maybe he was least likely to sue?

The game was supposed to be delivered November 2014, the hardback came out like two years ago, and now this comes out of nowhere. I was wayyy into GUMSHOE when I backed the KS, but, like, that was 2013/2014. I am sooooo not into GUMSHOE now.

I just unbacked Madcap https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sanguine/madcap-screwball-cartoon-role-play-for-tabletop. They released the quick rules and well it kind of tells you how to make a cartoon game, the system does you no favors, the playbooks only have two moves and default stats, and the book isn't funny. I'm not paying for a cartoon game that isn't funny.

PBTA's inherent "so what do you do" and "then what happens" are both good at facilitating fast-moving comedy scenes.

It's not a bad idea per se, but a humor game probably isn't the best first project for a writer with no obvious experience in humor or games. Humor games are loving hard, perhaps the hardest kind of game to write and the fastest to date itself. Anything funny to someone is going to be obnoxious to somebody else and it's a tightrope act to just try and be funny to more people than not. I do humor a lot in game writing, but I mostly see it as a self-indulgence and if somebody actually finds it funny, that's more of an added bonus than a sign I know how to write jokes. Also, it looks like it has some furry culture in there, and while that'll get some backers to be sure, I don't think it fits as much as... well, furries might think it fits? YMMV.

It lost me at the confusion of "jugular" for "jocular," frankly. Their attempts at jokes on the KS page are also all dire.
