this thread really really should read twilight of the elites it's insanely spot on and it predicts like 80% of what would happen five years later america is beyond hosed and the rot has metastasized meritocracy is a lie, it's the same as it always has been, rule of the many by the few the elites just keep on swapping out how exactly "the few" are chosen, it doesn't matter what the political structure is, communist, capitalist, neoliberal, local mayordoms, state governorships, the same thing keeps happening over and over and over

Most people will (if they're lucky) find a good group and at that point the system almost doesn't matter. are there any cool semi-simple tabletop setups for solo play? like 1-2 hr campaigns?

I played the ASOIAF RPG before I ever read a ASOIAF book or watched GOT and I can confirm that it is not very good I played a commoner (grizzled veteran master-at-arms) because at the time I didn't understand how obsessed with the nobility the franchise is

got any sevens posted:macho man mod??? You're probably looking for a well-designed point system for that, maybe Iron Kingdoms or Fragged Empire. Something with miniatures and positioning and a ruleset that treats PCs and NPCs the same. You can't really role-play very well solo though, that I've ever heard of anyway.

UA was one of the most interesting modern settings I'd seen in a long time when I first picked it up about ten, fifteen years ago. Pity the system's such complete garbage.

Something with miniatures and positioning and a ruleset that treats PCs and NPCs the same. You can't really role-play very well solo though, that I've ever heard of anyway. positioning is ok in small doses but most systems take it too far. i'd like something like a board game crossed with a choose-your-own-adventure book, but stripped down almost to the basics so it doesnt require more than 5 minutes of prep and you'd have like ten possible adventures broken up into three arcs, which you combine randomly. like you'd start in the town/city/farm, do a random starter quest in tavern/castle/etc, it leads into rescuing slaves from the mine overrun with bandits/orcs/witches/vampires, then that segues into assaulting their boss's fortress/witch house/hell portal/etc. between areas you'd have a random encounter, or it might be a traveling merchant so you can stock up on potions or buy a rare +3 mace or whatever fun to imagine this stuff while high anyway, probably more of a pita to design it

Problem with tabletop RPGs is that they're actually hard to do well, and all the people who can do them well make way more money making video games.

its such an obv niche for elfgames, esp because so much of the tg industry orbits around internet forums that have both grognard conversation and pbp poo poo like half the conversation around these things happens right next to play by post games and no one has come up w a system specifically for that????? why are they all so dumb????????

my group's been doing tuesday nights for 2-3 hours via google hangouts for video + roll20 for playing and it's actually working way better than anyone expected. we just either play someone's char or have them sit out if they're on vacation (obv if the dm's out of town we just don't play) one time we had huge technical issues and just did a conference call which worked surprisingly well since we weren't doing super focused combat that night
