The Kins posted:There's also the wider influence of D&D, with stuff like Record of Lodoss War, which was basically a serialized transcript of some writers and artists playing a D&D campaign that got turned into an influential anime that's been adapted to games and other mediums to hell and back. And of course, the Souls series, which was inspired by reading old D&D books in a language the director couldn't understand, pouring over the illustrations and knitting together a story in his head. no I'm pretty sure it was some trans person meme magic

The Souls games were influenced heavily by the prior King's Field game, and I don't know if Miyazaki specified if he read a lot of D&D books, but he certainly had a variety of games he liked reading through. He's acknowledged in interviews he loves the old Dragon's Pass board game and considers that an inspiration for the Souls series. Dragon's Pass is interesting because it's part of a shared fictional setting called Glorantha, which itself is an influential early tabletop gaming setting that was intentionally designed to be distinct from D&D.

I read the original Groverhaus thread for the first time a few months back and what surprised me most was that there wasn't a single negative post in it. When/where did it actually attain its notoriety?

He should be left alone with his insulated stairs I think grover sold the haus a long time ago. Now it's presumably owned by normal people and I absolutely feel bad for them.

The Kins posted:Went to get sources, but all I can find is that he was reading a lot of unspecified English-language fantasy and sci-fi at the library, with illustrations to pour over. Not sure why I specifically remembered that as D&D, so I'll take that L. "Hints of Miyazaki's non-video game interests are spread around his office, which we spotted during a tour of From Software. A handful of Magic: The Gathering cards are scattered across his table. A Dungeons & Dragons paperback guide is wedged underneath a computer monitor. A copy of the Lovecraftian board game Arkham Horror sits next to dozens of other table-top games. For anyone who has fought one of the Souls series' many dragons or battled Cthulu-like monstrosities in Bloodborne, Miyazaki's personal collections come as no surprise." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ga...zaki.aspx%3famp

the problem with wondering why ducks aren't kept free range is that ducks domesticated for thousands of years are traditionally kept free range

Not sure why I specifically remembered that as D&D, so I'll take that L. It's okay, I mean, if he's enough of a turbo nerd to be into Glorantha and sword and sorcery lit like Conan, I'm sure he poured over D&D books he could find, too. I just remember him specifically gushing about Dragon's Pass and how the Craigspider in that influenced the design of a boss in DS1. It's actually really fun to dig into the history of game development and influences, which really just makes the conspiracy crafting more

there's also been a ton of writing done specifically about JRPGs and western RPGs of the same era because they're so influential lol. you don't need to invent some fantasy in your head there's like, books about it.

In fact, I'm thinking of eating some for lunch. OK, I actually don't know if they're free range or not, I'm just really hungry for some Chinese duck.

Scratched my planescape itch, destroyed all existence by being an insufferable facts and logic techbro It's not an awful game, imo, but you can see the seams in the patchwork. I liked the world and some of the companion questlines, but there was also a lot of unnecessary fluff in flowery language, especially when a certain someone was responsible for the quest.
