Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.

is 13th age supposed to be good?

probably the most tolerable fantasy d20 system if you absolutely must play fantasy d20

my friends are sorta resistant to non-3.5 fantasy stuff and even they liked 13th age

I've got a post-apoc FATE game I did some prep for, I'm probably gonna switch to that once the players reach level 5 or so. Prep here means I just came up with some cool stats and aspects for settlements.

the subtext here is that I'm not gonna run it because FATE is honestly pretty boring.

Fallout was originally supposed to use GURPS instead of SPECIAL, correct?

I think DW is pretty cool but I can see why it's not everyone's favorite system, honestly I'd say FATE and its assorted spinoffs were better for the story focused games if I absolutely had to pick one or the other. DW has a lot of good ideas but there are some parts of it that are hamstrung by wanting to stick to being like D&D.

Anyway that's my RPG opinion of the day thanks.

playing ttrpgs is wildly less insufferable than watching people discuss ttrpgs in theory
