wizard on a water slide posted:Everybody should play D&D at least once. Ehh. I disagree, I think everybody should try a pen and paper game at least once, not specially D&D. Like Fiasco is going to be great with my artsy creative friends but they may hate the mechanical stuff in D&D that my "gamer" type friends can play with as they try to get into the hang of roleplaying. People who heavily lean on one side of the spectrum there probably won't be interested in Everbody Is John because it doesn't give either group much to chew on but is way more accessible to those in the middle. Roleplaying games are rapidly evolving in cool ways, which is near because it's only going to bring in more people. And now we have stuff like mega games with watch the skies, or room escapes (which you can pretty much argue are real life d&d modules, just without monsters and traps that can kill you) Games are just in a good place generally.

discount cathouse posted:I watched King of Kong and Indie Divas: The Movie yeaterday. Are there any other good videogame documentarys? Commercial Breaks, about Imagine and Ocean, 30 minutes long. it's like a time capsule, highly recommended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt9BsZCifgU Charlie Brooker's special. Filled with stuff you probably know but it's fun and funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32wN4IIDW1o King of Chinatown, about Justin Wong and the fighting game community. It's really about his manager whose last name is Triforce and walks around with a power glove. Not really that good of a doc and the music is real bad, but the footage is really fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OauRL3La9jc

Documentaries about games, video or otherwise are surprisingly few. You would expect a way higher number of them. And the offerings you do get are not typically that great. Word Wars is really boring. They are making a documentary out of the fantastic Console Wars book about Tom Kalinske. I look forward to that and hope it's good.

Golden Goat posted:That reminds me of Video Games: The Movie. Yeah, the reason why most video game books and movies are bad is they focus players experiences with games. Which makes sense, due to the nature of games. While how systems affect players can be interesting, most people aren't going to provide a good account as to why it does. I find the opposite relationship, how the developers affect their systems, more fascinating but it's barely ever the focus.

I like space combat i just don't like how every game makes me feel lonely. Which is why I'm making Space Friends, it's my space sim where between combat and trading you hang out with your pals Gor-zak and BAL-4000 at space diners and pizza joints.

Snak posted:For example, if you put a cookfire and a chest in a room, that's called building a kitchen, and NPC will cook food for you there. So basically building rooms causes passive generation of items for you to use. And all kinds of other features. It's like what if minecraft was a game instead of a sandbox. It's neat. So it's basically just taking management style game rules and implying them to Minecraft! That is really neat and cool.

Advance was basically a rework of the rules and added some more classes and poo poo. Early d&d gets confusing with all the different boxes and poo poo.
