Yeah, for all his idiosyncrasies, Wick is one of the most professional people in the industry. These latest bits about playing and DMing in 7th Sea gives me a small bit of hope that maybe he's rolling back the ego a little.

Zark the Damned posted:My dice tower from https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1957487380/mechanical-dice-towers just arrived today, which was a pleasant surprise. A good company with prompt post-KS shipping, thumbs up from me! How's the quality? I was mildly interested in it but not quite enough to drop money, so I'm curious as to how good the build on them are.

GaistHeidegger posted:I kind of feel like the lack of a pre-painted option is hurting it; I'd probably jump on being able to buy a pre-painted set myself, but I am never ever going to have the time to paint a huge set of modular terrain. I'unno, a dungeon is one of the easiest things to paint if you don't mind drybrushing a lot of grey on it. Assuming you just wanted it painted, that is.

Does Diaz have any other job other than his pretentiously awful webcomic? Because if not I don't see why it takes him for-loving-ever to y'know, do what he's paid for.

Alien Rope Burn posted:It was one of those things that hit at just the right time, right before White Wolf really started to tilt the industry towards more modernized rules, so the clunkiness of the mechanics was still a very normal thing. It also had a surprisingly coherent art direction early on (when most games outside of TSR still looked awfully ugly) and gave people a freedom of character choice that may seem quaint now, but really was somewhat groundbreaking around the same time most games would tut-tut at you for wanting to play a dragon or vampire or whatever. Putting ads in comic books certainly helped matters. I saw those a lot as a kid, well before I even saw a single Palladium book out in the wild, and I always wanted to know more about that robot smashing the head of another robot in some Blood Sport-looking fist-fight.

I really want to back this because KSBD is a comic I enjoy and I can only imagine the book will look gorgeous. But I bounced off hard from the 566-page PDF (seriously why). Does the game actually play well in practice or is it as mechanically bloated as it looks to be?

Leraika posted:This, pretty much. When I was going through the beta, there were a lot of TABLES and EQUIPMENT but it wasn't anywhere near 566 pages. Well, this is going off the pre-release on itch.io which I know doesn't have all the formatting in it and everything you'd expect from a finished product. Tricky posted:Rules are done about 120 pages in, the next 180 are player equipment and options, the rest is setting and GM-facing stuff. But this still makes me blanch a little. Not insurmountable, obviously, but nowadays I give RPGs that go for that many pages on their rules the side-eye. I fully admit that it may be that college has killed all my love and enjoyment for big ol' reference books that span hundreds of pages though, so  I might throw down on it anyway to support an artist I like because I'm dumb and like pretty books but drat if I'll ever be able to play any of it.

Kai Tave posted:As a point of comparison, if you've ever played D&D 4E then Lancer is a step or two down from that in terms of volume of mechanics. That's actually much more encouraging. 4e's probably my fav version of D&D, next to BECMI. Would you say it's closer to Gamma World 7e than 4e, or somewhere in-between?

There's nothing stopping someone from cracking the password and distributing it anyway, so it's just shock value to drum up interest in what's probably a mediocre-at-best RPG.

Gloomhaven (and I guess by extension Frosthaven) is a game I really wanted to like but me and my group bounced hard off of it. We got maybe two missions in and nothing about it gelled with us at all, which feels like a very expensive shame or something. This is coming from a group that's played a lot of board games and RPGs, so just...I dunno, are we the weird ones out or something?

There's also a lot of designers out there who aren't raging assholes who make good products and I dunno about you, but I don't see a need to give Luke Crane time or money just because he makes a good product. I'd rather not feed his overinflated ego any more than it is already. Luke is rude to people, uses intentionally obtuse wizard speak, acts like a giant baby when people ask for refunds, doesn't want to distribute his products online and for some reason gets upset when people homebrew his stuff. He doesn't exactly bring a lot to the table aside from his product, and I can get a whole bunch of other well-crafted RPG stuff made from people who aren't as outwardly hostile to the very concept of other human beings like Luke is.
