Yeah I'd definitely recommend 4e or Strike if you want good, grid-based gameplay. Most other systems I've played have notable imbalances between classes or abstract combat heavily.

bunnielab posted:How people can hate on realtime-with-pause is beyond me. Turn based is so dull. Because realtime-with-pause is actually just "realtime-until-it's-hard-then-pause." If the issue with turn based combat is that fighting weak enemies is boring (the thing that realtime alleviates), get rid of the weak enemies.

Also Koreans made DFO and TERA so they can be welcomed into the good RPG makers group, as trial members pending approval.

" seems like a stupid way to live, but I guess if you don't have anything to like then you have to fall back on hate.

Captain Walker posted:So how about that tabletop game Strike! by Forums Poster Jimbozig? I think it's a really cool rule set and I can't wait for someone to run a super spy thing in the system while I wait for Phantom Pain. I'm a big fan. I appreciate that the system is still improving with each release too, generally by making everything stronger (with the notable exception of the change to Minor Striker which was probably the closest thing there was to a feat tax in the game). The class/role character creation metagame is a lot more fun to "play" than mixing and matching from a laundry list of feats for me, and still offers enough complexity for an idiot like me. My biggest beef with the system is just a product of its newness - Part of its design goal is to expedite combat by removing unnecessary rolls, egregious off-turn actions, etc., but most people I play with simply don't know the system yet so it doesn't actually end up going that much faster. But yeah that's comparing people 1-3 sessions into a completely new game (many of which weren't 4e players so they don't have that background either) versus a 4e group who has been playing the system for 2-7 years which is hardly fair. The times I've played Strike with people who've spent time with the book and understand the system have been lighting fast and a real treat.

Len posted:I keep the recruitment thread bookmarked just in case a system I've wanted to try pops up but it's mostly monster heart games. I don't wanna be a teenage monster! The whole recruitment system is weird to me in general. Unless everyone knows each other and I'm just not aware of it but like, I've found that focusing on novel character ideas instead of player synergy leads to a much less enjoyable game and has characters that end up functioning more as gimmicks than anything. Like if the way to get your character in a game is to make them stand out of course you're going to make their two paragraph introduction explosive (and maybe a bit pandering if you know the GM's tastes) and possibly make their mechanics something weird too.

TheLovablePlutonis posted:That being said when I did Ivalicegame picks my priorities were actually A: People who were good players on my previous dead PTU game, B: People I'm friends with. C: You, Countblanc Also I was reading the PTU document and there's no rules for being a Ranger that I saw, I was kinda surprised since it's actually combat-related unlike some stuff in there but still unique from normal trainer stuff. Or did I just miss it?

TheLovablePlutonis posted:Also back when it was a class, Ranger had different mechanics based on using a swirly thing to befriend Pokémon and stuff and turns out they didn't really fit that well with the party. That makes sense. I appreciate that the book mentions that smaller party sizes are ideal for the game too, it's easy to forget that the 4-6 party dynamic isn't the only option sometimes. It seems like a pretty overwhelming system to just get started with though, and I say that as someone who has played pokemon, comp and casual, since the games came out. It's hard to look at a lot of the trainer things and say "yeah this sounds useful (or bad)". Still, it'd probably be neat to try.
