There's also the problem where he doesn't seem to understand how to do a plot arc with Uryu that isn't "Uryu apparently betrays ichigo but he's secretly a mole/comes to his senses at the last minute" Plutonis posted:Bleach had the shittiest last fight because Kubo spent like twenty chapters with the secondary characters mopping up the giant squad of bodyguards the last villain had and ended up with only two chapters for the main villain vs protagonist Are you talking about Aizen or the guys from the later manga chapters where Kubo decided he liked German better than Spanish?

Also the villains in the last arc are thinly veiled not-nazis less lead by a thinly veiled not-Abrahamic-God. Or at least someone who acts like it, is named Ywach, and has a powerset explicitly called "THE ALMIGHTY" that allows him to kill people of lesser blood purity and alter the future so it's literally impossible for him to die(until they find the one heretofore unmentioned weakness at the very last second).

That sounds rubbish. Unless the weakness is iron chariots with giant anime tits? Edit: adult iron chariots with giant anime tits, please. Not child ones.

Cat Face Joe posted:stop talking about cartoons jc In an effort to turn the topic away from cartoons: Are there any games being published as small booklets in the style of the very oldest D&D rulebooks? It seems a nice way to provide player guides, anyway: summarize character creation & the basic mechanics in 20 pages, add a couple character sheets at the end, and sell it for $5. Write notes in it as you please and throw it away when it gets ratty. I haven't seen this sort of thing in local game shops, but it feels like most modern game shops I go to are 95% board games and miniatures wargames with a shelf or two for Pathfinder and 5e.

Lamentations of the Flame Princess comes to mind, although they are hard covers in the same size. I want to say I saw Stars Without Numbers digest size books as well. Kobolds Ate My Baby!, Savage Worlds, Mongoose Traveller and Castles &a Crusades Also have done digest size books. Seems to be popular among OSR type games, but I haven't seen any quite as disposable as what you are talking about. Some of the Dungeon Crawl Classics modules are published in a small format as well, but I haven't seen any rule books in that format. Edit - Fiasco also does small format books Rhandhali fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Apr 12, 2018 |

The paperback version of BladesITD is close to Manga size, but I don’t think the page count makes it a “small” book.

Exemplars & Eidolons is a booklet, but then that's because it was specifically written to be a case study in replicating the layout of OD&D

I don’t think it would be cost effective to carry them in store due to their niche status. Actually, I saw Kobolds Ate My Baby in the wild once.

There's B/X Essentials, which takes the original Basic and Expert D&D sets (i.e. not a retroclone) and redoes the layout, splitting the material into four booklets. Also the most recent version of the Robotech RPG, and IIRC there was a non-World of Darkness White Wolf game that followed that format.

The Mind's eye theater books have always been published in digest size as I recall. The most recent ones were stout, heavy rat killing books in hardcover though. Not really suitable for LARP play, but the digest or even a pocket book format would be ideal for that sort of thing.

I started looking into this and it turns out that the guy runs or owns, I'm not sure which, a little dumpster fire of a game store not too far from me. http://notanotherdime.blogspot.com/?m=1 Has a lot more details. It's an interesting read. Something like a half dozen non-delivered kickstarters including a Traveller (!) TV pilot. Its all low level stuff but I'm amazed it went on for as long as it did.
