I guarantee that Hasbro was not going to let them use “D&D” like that. It’s possible that pathfinder players wanted in though. e: It’s a shame because calling it D&DSports is by far the smartest thing about the entire project. DalaranJ fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Oct 18, 2018 |

I feel like "5e is a bad system for competition" and "let's also do pathfinder" does not follow.

Countblanc posted:I feel like "5e is a bad system for competition" and "let's also do pathfinder" does not follow. Not really. Pathfinder certainly isn’t a system built to be competitively viable. However, the Pathfinder Society rules make it a lot clearer to run in an organized manner, and include a lot of the unbalanced stuff already being weeded out. It’s a good portion of the work already done for them, as opposed to dancing around with 5e needing a hundred pages of “ask your GM” poo poo sorted out.

Dungeon Crawl Classics Peasant Funnels are the clear choice for competitive RPGs.

It's weird to not even acknowledge the roleplaying part in any competition. Like, not every game involves roleplaying, but isn't The World's Default Role-Playing Game supposed to include that? Like, maybe there's a dungeon crawl where you all explore a similar dungeon, have a big fight at the end that all surviving groups participate in somehow, and then a scene at the end where you state your case to the panel for why your group contributed more than other groups in the big fight and thus deserves more reward money, as a small but not insignificant multiplier at the end.

Adding subjective elements to judging sounds like it'd make D&Dsports even more of a nightmare to balance than it already is.

The 2017 module just released for home play, and you can upload your results to their site. It's pretty neat, but not worth watching other people play.

Finster Dexter posted:I thought it was a Replay of D&D? It came out in the 80's before Sword World was ever published. You are basically right; the setting was created as rules-agnostic, but the replay was played mostly with D&D (with some one-shots with other systems). Sword World is a system that uses the same setting used in Record of Lodoss War, and there has been plenty of published replays of games using that system, but Record of Lodoss War itself is not one of them.

I know I've mentioned this before but for anyone wondering, after Record of Lodoss War got decently big, Group SNE approached TSR to see about entering some kind of official relationship for the right to publish works using the D&D rules and TSR refused. So Group SNE shrugged and made Sword World to use in future replays. This meant that Group SNE pretty much created the market for replays, then also cornered the Japanese market for tabletop RPGs in the 80s and created one of those mystical ~trans media franchises~ tabletop creators seem so hungry for.

There are already competitive minis games and they don't do much as a spectator sport. What makes anyone think that watching a dnd battle arena will be better than watching a Warhammer tournament?

I know it won't happen, but now I'm imagining competitive dnd esports being like one of those bizarre early 90s gameshows, like Knightmare. Where you have a bunch of nerds who awkwardly sit in front of the camera and read out their scripted options, and then the camera cuts to a poorly rendered cgi or greenscreen of their actions being played out in a really stilted manner.

They didn't use Sword World for Record of Lodoss War, no, I meant Sword World was put out after to use in new replays and sell to fans.
