If you spend money on Cards Against Humanity and the Oatmeal card game you need to be killed by getting hammered in the back of the skull with a lead-tipped club and thrown in a mass grave.

i admire people who buy those games. it takes real courage to openly admit that you don't want to do things that let you, personally, be funny or clever, but instead want to do things where you simply let the game make the jokes for you.

The one where you add caption cards to picture cards to make memes is the loving worst. I'll find whoever did that and inject gasoline in his veins.

I'm not even talking about the material on the cards, which speaks for itself. I mean, mechanically, they aren't even games. They're Mad-Libs with a trendier name. There's plenty of ways to make games about jokes and humor have interesting (and simple) mechanics, and all the "play a card with words on it" games fail at that. At least Codenames is mainstream enough to show up at regular department stores, maybe someone accidentally bought that for their kids last month and got them a good game by mistake.

Someone could release a "play a card with words on it" game that aligned perfectly with my political beliefs and hobbies and it'd still be poo poo, because it's a "play a card with words on it" game.

the slayer could have used just a couple more tricks imo. a full 4e class is too much and a lot of 4e progression is "replace this thing with thing+1". only bad guys also get +1 so it's necessary but pointless

It's the Saitama build in that you only do melee basic attacks but each of them has +100 to hit and deals a hundred trillion damage

Yeah there's definitely a joy in saying "drat I just did 185 damage with Blade Cascade, good poo poo" even if that's 25% of a monster's life bar and your dailies were still doing 25% of a life bar 10 levels ago.

It's the same exhilarating feeling Ullillilia has when he plays JRPGs.

Hey buddy, how about you try role playing, not roll playing? If your character's nearly impossible to hit by, and capable of trivially one-shotting, hordes of basic goblins or kobolds or soldiers or journeyman wizards, that makes a dramatic difference to their place in the story and the way they interact with NPCs even if no one ever, ever rolls initiative. Yeah, it'd be really unlikely for a bunch of assassins or soldiers or whatever to try their luck against some level 20 characters, and except for maybe one time for funsies you'd likely not bother rolling it out at all, but that means your party of adventurers can stomp around like Godzillas where they used to need to creep softly.

there's nothing that special about anime that it requires special rules here's how to make a game anime

1.) find a genre of game that matches to the genre of anime that you want to play.

2.) play that game

3.) play your characters as if they were in an anime, Over the top emotions calling out attack names and so on.

Yeah it's absolutely a matter of tone. I'm in a game that's pretty much Persona 4 the tabletop rpg and it uses D&D 4E as the system with only a few minor homebrew.

Also on the topic of Anime stuff, I really want a game that can properly emulate Digimon, as most existing "Mon" RPG systems or supplements focus on Pokemon style evolving if they include it at all
