Very much the latter. I want a nice place for Kingdom Death fans to go and talk about their gross dismembered women furniture game in peace. I think this is something they need quite a lot.

MrFlibble posted:Yeah but the way you're saying it makes me think you're mocking them. Its not very nice to mock the people who need a safe space. It's you who has such a problem with tit miniatures that you don't even want people buying from the people who make them, let alone the tit miniatures themselves. Oh I'm definitely mocking people like you who defend the titties and torture porn grossout game. After all, it's you who has such a problem with people judging you for your poor consumer choices that you don't want anyone to disagree with you and feel the need to continue posting long after your self-declared "last post".

Mugaaz posted:I understand the part about not feeling good about buying from Chik-fil-a. However, there is also the part where you really want a good chicken sandwich and there is an awesome place down the corner that sells them called Chik-fil-a. While you'd prefer to buy a yummy chicken sandwich elsewhere, none of the local business offer anything you find equally yummy. Because of this, you buy your chicken sandwich from the cringy place while not agreeing with their views. I still manage to sleep at night. on the one hand you don't need the chicken sandwich, and there are other options that would serve without contributing to lovely views on the other hand there is no ethical consumption under capitalism so really y'all can go wild, there's really nothing else to be expected

Is the gameplay also bad? A shame that it is obviously going to get so much money if it is. Turns out bad things make lots of money.

I got my copy of Noisy Person Cards today. The stuff is all pretty high-quality and it looks like it will be a blast to play. My only complaint is that the box it comes in is a little too small so the cards just barely fit in there. Getting them in and out is a little annoying. Otherwise I love it.

I got my hardback copy of Tales From the Loop today. It is a gorgeous book, and Stalenhag's art is probably worth the purchase price. I haven't gotten done reading it yet, but I like the way its laid out, everything is presented in a very clean and concise manner. The system is a very simple dice pool affair, and half the book is given over to setting information and a few pre-written adventures. It has a great Problem for the Weirdo class, which is "My dad is a communist"

I haven't looked at the KS due to EM's posts about it, but they played it on One-Shot and it sounds like a fuckin mess from top to bottom. It seems almost impossible to play in an online setting and you have to consult charts to see what the numbers on your dice actually mean (in that you're not getting a result, but another fuckin number that determines your result). The players made the game entertaining but playing it sounds like an unfun nightmare.

Jimbozig posted:Cool setting, but what's the game like? The description in the KS page sounds like they just palette swapped D&D. If it's just reskinned or modified D&D, which edition did they reskin or modify? Is this an OSR thing? While not a perfect answer, Six Feats Under appears to have uploaded an AP of the game that I'll check out later. The fluff is enough to get me interested, but I would like to see how the engine runs. Or at least see the engine.

Impermanent posted:Similarly, spellbound's setting pushes a little much in the 'nobles deliberately kill people's passions' thing. just let the world exist according to that logic without engaging in the post-modern navelgazing of justifying those genre elements within the text. of course your PCs want to destroy your enemy's passion - they're swashbuckling heroes wronged and motivated by revenge! It's exactly right for them want to destroy someone's happiness as well as their spinal column. We must play with vastly different groups because all the people I've ever played with would just do their damndest to blow the villain up with a bomb from a safe distance while avoiding any other avenue of attack I offered.

Kai Tave posted:This is probably just going to inspire another round of "oh I feel so sorry for you that your game group is bad" but 100% agreedo with this, the average tabletop RPG group is actually incredibly risk-averse and wants to triumph over their opponents in the most decisive way possible with no chance for retaliation. "Just engage in the genre!" is more likely to return blank stares than some kind of wondrous awakening of the imagination, and if calling in a tactical airstrike on the evil duke who imprisoned them was an option they would pick it every time over a dramatic swordfight in a burning castle. I mean I'm not complaining. Having players who always went for the most efficient and least risky kill usually meant I was able to challenge them with unconventional threats or make the villains just as big of bastards who wouldn't go down easily. Rocket tag at the highest levels. Impermanent posted:Of course, they can't do that if you're playing spellbound kingdoms because they have to reduce the passions of their enemy to zero first. Just because you don't justify the mechanics with an in-game, textual-within-the-setting hyperawareness of genre conventions doesn't mean you can't agree to play by those conventions and enforce them mechanically. I mean you could do that, but as a fantasy world, having these genre conventions be a hard and fast rule of the world makes the setting more unique and adds something cool to the world.

Nuns with Guns posted:The nature of sufficiently strong Inspirations is important in Spellbound Kingdoms because it facilitates flashy, risk-taking behavior a swashbuckling story feeds on. You can certainly have a chase across the highest towers of a castle or swing across a room on a chandelier in D&D or Shadowrun or a World of Darkness game, but Spellbound Kingdoms removes the likely response from the GM of "Okay but if you fail, you fall and break your neck." This is totally an aside from the main discussion, but man this attitude sucks when encountered in the wild. Who doesn't want their characters to pull of flashy and cool stunts like in the movies and poo poo? I used to give my players bonuses to this sort of stuff because I like to run my games like a Fast and Furious movie. Discouraging big action-movie moments is such a drag. Now that I think about it The Fast and the Spellbound isn't a bad idea...

Lightning Lord posted:I think Numenera might be a bad game Numenera posted:NIBOVIAN WIFE 3 (9) These biological constructs appear to be beautiful female humans. Their only function, however, is to seduce male humans so they can get pregnant. Pregnancy in a Nibovian wife opens a transdimensional rift inside its womb, giving an ultraterrestrial (such as an abykos, an erynth grask or any ultraterrestrial creature the GM wishes) access to this level of existence. The time required for “gestation,” which is actually the aligning of phase changes to create the rift, ranges from ten minutes to nine months. When the ultraterrestrial creature is “born,” the Nibovian wife nurtures it as if it were a child, even though it clearly is not. During this time, the construct defends the “child” fiercely, using incredible strength and resilience. The young creature develops quickly, and its first and only compulsion is to hunt down and kill its “father.” Once it does so, it is free to do as it pleases in the world. Nibovian wives are likely the cause of many ultraterrestrials currently in the Ninth World. Motive: Seduction for reproduction, defense of its “offspring” Environment: Anywhere Health: 9 Damage Inflicted: 5 points Armor: 2 Movement: Short Modifications: Resists mental effects as level 4. Combat: Nibovian wives attack with their fists, which pummel with a strength that betrays their inhuman nature. Their flesh is as resilient as armor. Interaction: As long as you give Nibovian wives what they want, they are kind and eager to please. They can never be convinced to abandon their imperative (reproducing and nurturing their terrible child), but on other issues, they can be perfectly reasonable. Use: A strange encounter with Nibovian wives can introduce the concept of otherdimensional beings in a horrific way. The ancients explored other dimensions and interacted with ultraterrestrials, but in the Ninth World, such beings are thought of as demons. Loot: The inner workings of a Nibovian wife can provide 1d6 cyphers to someone trained in scavenging them.
