I thinking this month might be the perfect time to run A Red and Pleasant Land. I'll probably run the Heart Queen's castle using Dungeon World, set Voivodja as its own domain in Ravenloft, and, quite possibly, make the world the current resting place of the Antediluvian Malkav.

Yeah, I remember when I tried to run MotW and one of my players wanted to use the Action Scientist playbook, and I was like "I'm trying to run an occult horror game, and you want to play Iron Man?" (To be fair, every single character she makes in an RPG is some variation of "gender-switched Tony Stark.")

Ningyou posted:speaking of, it's really too bad bc i read a blurb for Red and Pleasant Land and it sounds like it would be totally up my alley if not for the whole 'written by an obsessive serial harasser who harassed women into quitting elfgames and vanishing from the internet' thing My background is in art history, so I've pretty much come to terms with disliking an artist as a person while still enjoying their art. One of my fav painters is Caravaggio, and he straight-up murdered a dude over a tennis match.

Ningyou posted:i'd argue that there's a difference between someone who accidentally...? killed somebody hundreds of years ago and someone who intentionally stalks and harasses marginalized folx and obsessively namesearches for new targets in the *now* (and revels in people going 'hey that's kind of hosed up' because SJW TEARS HEH or something???, and harassed mikan til she was a panicky, withdrawn wreck afraid to have any web presence at all) but uh you do you i guess Fair enough. I do agree that Zac S is a lovely person, and not considering a product based on a person's behavior is perfectly valid. (I feel the same whenever people tell me about Ender's Game, knowing what I do about Orson Scott Card) I dunno, there's definitely a conflict for me, because I was impressed enough by ARaPL that I was willing to give my feelings about its author a pass, which is something I don't do often. The artwork and aesthetic are a rare treat in this day and age where most RPG art is just the same overpainted Photoshop fantasy stuff that you see on M:tG cards.

I'm predicting that, five years from now, a company in Portland will offer a free-trade, artisanal smartphone that costs 3 times as much as your typical iPhone.

Covok posted:Personal opinion and this could be an anomaly in his work, but this guy might want to take a page from the school of comic writing that says your pictures should do 60% of the talking with the words doing the last 40%. Agreed. If you're going to fill that much of the page with text, why even bother with illustration?

occamsnailfile posted:I really wish SJG had it in them to do a fifth edition of GURPS. I'm pretty Steve Jackson wouldn't be able to unclench his hands from treasured habits out of the past even if it were profitable though, so 4th it is. I don't think there's that much of a buyer demand, either. People who want GURPS just house rule the current system, and SJG is fine with that as long as the dump trucks full on Munchkin money keep rolling in.

It doesn't help that "heroes fight goblins, and later a bigger goblin", has to be the most boring, low-effort adventure ever. Goblins are dull.

Let's spend less time getting angry about elf games and more time getting ready for what was probably the first true role playing experience of our formative years... Halloween! When I was three years old, my first character was a lion. Rawr! Now I'm going as The Glam Rock Archangel of Decadence. I'd say I leveled up quite nicely.
