People really like ironic simpsons stuff, it's the modern version of the banned mickey Mouse parodies from the 60s where he gets his dick out.

Agreed totally. The fact that people still like the early stuff does make it a little more complicated.

Pretty much all of them that aren't trying to be super realistic or DnD will. A decent game is either going to encourage quality narratives, like Apocalypse World (and friends) or 13th Age, or tactical gameplay like Strike! or Runequest.

flatluigi posted:Honest question, how do they do that? I've followed a few things over the years but most systems I've seen people use just seem to get in the way of the people playing more often than not. It depends on the particular thing you're looking for but for me it comes down to giving players good input and having simple enough mechanics that encourage the sorts of results you want. I really dig apocalypse world, so I'll run over how that does it. It thinks of an RPG as a sort of conversation between players, the system and the GM, so instead of turns it just has the DM says what's happening and pushes the player to respond, then they do something, then something else happens, etc. It breaks every sort of player action into a "Move" which has a trigger in the narrative, but goes underneath, so you describe what happens in the story then use the right move for it, and they're designed to shape how characters act and fit the tone of the game. There's different moves for getting in a shootout than for beating the crap out of a defenseless person. Every roll is just 2d6 and add the right stat for the move. If you roll 10 or more, it goes well. If you roll 6 or under, things go badly (not just you fail, next turn, but things that still move the story forwards). On 7-9, you partially succeed, getting something close to what you wanted, or having something complicate things further. A lot of the time, the player's the one who picks what the result actually is. I'll chuck in an example. GM: So Max, You've got a War Boy on the front of your car, and he's raising a harpoon at Furiosa with a look of glee in his eyes. What do you do? Max: I'm going to swerve hard and try to throw him off. That's Act Under Fire right? GM: Yeah, roll plus Cool. (Max gets a 7) GM: You steer hard, but the ground is really uncertain, and you start to lose control. Let's make a choice: Do you brake and send the Warboy flying into the caboose with you and Furiosa, or do you hit into the canyon wall and damage the engine? That's the gist of it, although I'm glossing over the design of the moves themselves, character classes, etc. But my point is that a good system structures the narrative to produce more interesting results and give more meaning to decisions. As for good tactical combat, that just comes down to good game design, same as you'd see in a video game but with smaller numbers.

flatluigi posted:I don't see how that's functionally different than how they're currently playing in The Adventure Zone and it's basically what I meant exactly by facilitating instead of actually adding to gameplay v Giving players power over their actions and explicitly establishing tone, themes and potential outcomes adds a lot to gameplay. You get more interesting results, better stories and more weight to decisions.

They mocked furries in like episode 10 and rolled back the other way real far. It's not a big deal.

If anyone's a fan of Still Suffering's episodes about weird generational differences in mindsets, they just did an episode about mass shootings.

Saint's Row 3 does a couple of things that limit character creation like having less clothing layers and massively different male/female skeletons, but it's more modern and runs on PC better.

The game really struggled to get the tone right. SR2 is really consistent with a darkly comedic tone with a casual approach to violent and often brutal acts, and the emotional beats or psychotic moments have an impact without being big swerves. There's a lot of great moments in Saints Row later on, like the West-Wing parody, the VR segment, and good character stuff like the Real ending of SR3 and Kinzie Kensington and the celeb hanger on whose name I forgot, but it's a bit all over the place, with a lot more straight parody and Whacky stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love busting wrestling moves on bystanders, but I generally prefer my comedy a bit straight-faced.

Guy Mann posted:The fact that it's all listener-submitted questions makes me kind of wary that it's going to have the Judge John Hodgman/MBMBAM live show problem of the people being too in on the joke or attention-seeking but this looks delightful. They'll probably be able to pick the good ones easily since they'll only need like 12.

I'd just pick ones at random except for the super-early stuff, which is a lot rougher. There's some great bits in there, like Warrior Cats and Peepum's Nasty Gum, and they also haven't repented mocking furries yet.

It doesn't encourage it, it forces it with vague writing, overuse of optional rules and edge cases. If I wanted rules light d&d I'd go with old-school Basic d&d with the d20 roll-under the stat to do stuff. It's basically what TAZ is doing already.
