It's barely even worth discussing their purported reasons for why (not a "real" gamer etc) It's probably a contributing factor that, to my limited knowledge, Day actually talks about the harassment she gets rather than, I dunno, being grateful for the attention?? I don't know what the quote appropriate unquote response is supposed to be if you're born a woman, or God forbid you transition to womanhood, and people in the subculture get on your case about it. I don't like thinking about this stuff as it makes me angry how far we've come in some ways and not others, but I realize that having that option is the literal definition of privilege. Content: I'm trying to sell my 5e-loving friends on 13th Age. How would the more eloquent of you make the case for 13A over D&D?

Evil Mastermind posted:The big ones I can think of off the top of my head is that it's a lot easier to make your character mechanically unique with the free-form backgrounds and OUT, Icon relationships that tie you to the setting in interesting ways, and that combats are pretty quick. I think the free-form stuff is turning some of my group off, they seem to want things with clearly defined mechanical effects. One thing that has specifically been mentioned as a net positive in D&D's favor is the massive spell list. Not the kinds of spells, just that there are a lot to choose from, apparently. I need more friends.

To be fair, I have generally really cool friends, and a couple goons, but our tastes in games are rather different, especially w/r/t tone. I want to play Dragon May Cry but the DM wants to run Dark Souls. And thats fine, Dark Souls is cool. But if we're going to do that we should do it in a system that's streamlined mechanically so Really I'm burned out on fantasy at this point, as long as I'm on this Metal Gear kick I wanna play superspy Strike! Or maybe FATE a la Winter Soldier.

I had no idea Meguro worked on the Trauma games. Are they any good?

I'm gonna try running my dream campaign once more, this time in Strike!. I'm envisioning a crypto-Metal Gear high action spy-fi thing. Unfortunately most of my players are not familiar with MGS. How do I get them in the right frame of mind? We'll probably run a test session as a kind of prologue.

Evil Mastermind posted:Now people can go places where they can have a real discussion! Like their Facebook page! But where will I go to discuss character optimization and whether shrouds disappear before or after the attack that invokes them? God drat, weren't they all uppity during the Next playtest about people not using the appropriate forum for feedback? Now there isn't one. e: Plague of Hats posted:Did the D&D forums live in the same system as the wider WotC stuff? I could swear they had some major turnover before. Was the Magic forum very active? I never visited it.

gradenko_2000 posted:Easy, play 5e where there's barely any charOp to be had! You joke but there's apparently an Unearthed Arcana series for 5e, including such gems as the swashbuckler rogue archetype, which at 3rd level can Sneak Attack enemies that aren't being flanked by an ally, adds Cha-mod to initiative, and doesn't provoke OAs from enemies when moving away after attacking them. Beats the hell out of the lovely thief and assassin archetypes in the PHB, and goes a long ways towards almost making the 5e rogue dangerous in combat!

Any time is a good time to talk about Benedict "Kazuhira" McDonnell Miller and his series of increasingly elaborate secret ocean hideouts

TheLovablePlutonis posted:It's the best game of this millennium even if it was unfinished due to the greed of the money gobbling pachinko building fucks at Konami and if you disagree you need to have your head shot off by powerful Stinger missiles.  except replace Stinger with M47. Or the off-brand in game equivalent, I guess.
