I love the FFG books for providing detailed information on the Star Wars universe that is better-presented than on Wookiepedia and the excellent art, but hoo boy is it a bad system for running an actual Star Wars game. The only good part of the system mechanically are the Destiny points.

jivjov posted:I really could not disagree more. I've run several campaigns and had a blast in a very Star Wars-y fashion. Whenever I read that book I get very turned off by the big lists of gear, feats and other unexciting nonsense. I feel like Star Wars needs to have as few rules as possible to feel at all Star Wars-y. Also the core resolution mechanic is highly fiddly and not at all fun. I mean you can have fun with the system no doubt. My brother has been running a campaign for about 2 years on and off, but they've never played with most of the fiddly rules. I bought EotE and AoR and I think they are excellent products for running a Star Wars game in a different system, just really bad at letting you do what makes Star Wars fun and interesting. But different strokes and all that.

New thread title is on point. To contribute: I picked up my Fate More KS books. Both Young Centurions and Majestic 12 are beautiful books. Quality stuff, and delivered a lot sooner than I expected.

Nuns with Guns posted:Isn't Torment pretty far behind schedule? Not that I fault Monte Cook for that. Even video game kickstarters that aren't obvious scams always wildly miss their target release dates. I backed it so long ago that I can't even remember what the timeframe was. I think it was originally supposed to come out at the end of 2014? I actually bought the RPG based on how interesting the videogame looked, but it turned out to be dogshit. That pretty much killed my interest in the videogame.

Fenarisk posted:To be fair, and I know I'm gonna be absolutely burned at the stake for this, it's not an excuse to just run off with the kickstarter money/not fulfill obligations. That's a much lower level of unprofessional but it still is, you wouldn't get away with that poo poo in the adult world of work. If you knew it was gonna happen, why would you still run your mouth you ignorant loving shithead? Getting driven into hiding is a pretty good reason to go dark, imo. Sucks for backers, sure. But personal safety is way more important than roleplaying games.

Alien Rope Burn posted:I get frustrated with the usual goon explanation because it actually flies in the face of things Mikan said more than once regarding the Kickstarter. I find it to be a oversimplification and frankly fairly tacky to treat them as a voiceless TG martyr instead of an adult faced a terrible situation who made their own choices on how to deal with it. That choice being to opt for self-preservation over the delivery of an elfgame? I do love how this topic is bringing out the people who apparently value their investment in a roleplaying game over a person's life.

fr0id posted:Hasn't GMS openly mentioned that he's dealing with depression? Why is it okay to constantly make fun of him for not making his game but it's taboo to hold Mikan accountable? Mikan seems like an awesome person and it's horrific what happened to them, but they still ducked out on their Kickstarter without a word to their backers about it. GMS wasn't stalked, but he does have this entire subforum regularly literally calling him a piece of poo poo. When did "having depression" become equivalent to "literally getting death threats and being harassed"??

Alien Rope Burn posted:Well, given a choice of buying that notion or what Mikan actually posted to the kickstarter updates, I'll go with the latter. Maybe you know something I don't, and frankly I don't necessarily need to know the specifics of what happened or is happening, it's none of my business. But I can only make judgements based on the facts I have. Yo, how much are you out for the Last Stand KS? If I Paypal you the money will that get you to shut the gently caress up?

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:did some internet weirdos throw bricks thru this mikan dudes windows? like what was actually done? Are you not reading the thread? Have people not posted about the harassment, death threats, stalking, doxxing etc? I've seen these things laid out in the posts above, so I'm worried that you may either be terminally stupid or arguing in bad faith.

FRINGE posted:SA is the home of the grognards.txt crew who had members that made a sport of going site to site to harass people. Why is this a discussion here? Mikan owes people money because Zak S drove her into hiding. Last I checked, that motherfucker was very much still present on the Internet. Maybe folks should complain to him about losing money? Oh wait they can't because they'll end up getting death threats too.

They're both garbage people. Save your money and spend it on something else. *sanitation workers are wonderful and underpaid human beings who deserve our endless gratitude. What I'm describing here is more of a trash golem situation.

Well I never! Also: Scion was a concept I wanted to love wrapped in a garbage system. I hope they can improve on it this time around. And get off their asses and bring back Adventure! and the rest of the Aeon line!

Say what you will about the insanity of that KS, it has some fantastic art. Unless they stole it from somewhere, in which case they have excellent taste in the art they steal.

Alternatively: Simon Stalenhag has been putting out these amazing paintings depicting mostly kids interacting with alien stuff for way longer than Stranger Things has been around and the designers of the game went with that as their inspiration? I backed it as soon as it was posted because I've been in love with that art forever. I hope that they use this Silver State stuff for the American expansion, as the desert is just the natural place for weird alien happenings in America.

MrFlibble posted:Ok, i'll make this my last post on the subject. I'm perfectly happy buying the stuff I want to from this kickstarter. And all this poo poo about buying the non gross poo poo makes me a bad person because the dude also makes gross poo poo? Doesn't bother me one bit. You could just... not give your money to the gross titty death horror game. I know I've passed on things I wanted because I refused to support aspects of them that I found distasteful. The only effective voice a person has is in how they spend their money.

MrFlibble posted:I find it distasteful to say someone is bad for buying a product that harms no one. The gay-propoganda law is the logical extension of that line of thinking. And maybe its ok to be like that when you are the one with the power to decide whats ok and whats not. Maybe your judgement is so perfect and pure that none could argue.

MrFlibble posted:If you could post the flow chart, that would be massively helpful to me. I'm actually having to think about why I object to stuff, a guide would be helpful. But for now I guess why I object to calling people who buy rape miniatures bad people is because it kills the conversation. It doesn't change anything. You get to feel smug about having told off the person with poor taste, the person goes and buys the rape miniature and just stops talking about it. It doesn't kill demand for gross poo poo, it just makes gross poo poo more secretive. The impact you are having is in how you are giving money to a creator who perpetuates gross poo poo. Your money will directly enable them to continue creating things that further normalize sexualized violence. You don't get to pick and choose what your money goes towards in this situation. You get it all, sorry. Will your next "last post" actually be the last or will you continue showing your whole rear end for the thread?

MrFlibble posted:So rather than admitting that there are some positive things about the game, or rebutting those points - you attack the reviewer. Ok. See, I enjoy talking about Kingdom Death, i'm looking forward to it now. Why the gently caress are you still talking about it? ...because you keep posting about how much you love the rear end blood horror game. Is there a Kingdom Death thread? I think the fans need a safe space.
