Juggalos are legit cool as hell if only a bit goofy and 90% of the hate against them is because they are lower class.

What's it like to be this wrong about everything? People hate on anyone with the taste to base their life around a lower-talent version of Eminem crossed with KISS, regardless of social class.

EDIT: And of course you also have a rap sheet a mile long for slurring minorities, so you're obviously the person to point out who the actually deserving people are.

Woop woop.

"Whoops I got stuck in this fantasy world!" became such a prolific and garbage idea across light novels that it was literally banned from writing competitions in Japan

I'll make the Isekai Genre TRPG for the february contest and its gimmick is that the PCs are openly aware of the game mechanics and have carte blanche to massively cheese it. There will be also a randomized race for chargen that goes from Big Spider to Goblin and nonhuman Races will evolve with their levels.

I've been toying around with doing something that would basically just be Saints Row: The TRPG. Make everything as insanely over the top as possible, you're shooting bazookas at rival drug farms and battling gangs of masked wrestlers and wannabe Draculas, etc.

What if you made it like every goons favorite movie, The Raid: Redemption (or Dredd)? You start your hunt for one particular baddie, they put a big bounty on you and your crew, then suddenly a bunch of rudeboys are coming for you because it might be there one chance to get out of this hellhole. You don't gotta make it a murder romp.

At this point the only two companies I can trust to make a decent WRPG are Obsidian and CDPR so if it's not either of them the game's gonna be a huge turd.

Most American goons are middle class naturalized or natural born citizens, the only way people's life there would go worse than the normal hell existence on late capitalist USA in the next 4 years is if Pence passes a Gay holocaust law, a war with China starts and conscription follows or something as drastic happens.

I think the main problem with Dark Elves is the skin thing, it's not even realistic. Cave dwelling organisms frequently become albinos because producing melanin is actually a disadvantage when there's no sunlight (it wastes resources).

ARB covered the things wrong with the cultural depictions, but making them dark skinned isn't even fantasy racism, it's just straight up racism.

Even if they're pinkish-white and you fixed their culture you could still call them Dark Elves, I mean Forest Elves aren't usually forest colored. For every other instance of Elf subrace it's culture and habitat that define them, not skin color (although they do have skin color variations).

Weird albino elves aren't sexy at all. Frick off.

It's one of those /tg systems that desperately wants to meticulously copy every aspect of the subject material without any regard for the difference in mediums. Basically, every system and subsystem is a bloated mess. See also Pokemon Freedom Unite or whatever they call it now.

Pokemon Tabletop United is pretty good! I play a game of it every monday with some of the devs!

Is it possible to play as Shaolin Buddhist Herakles?

Wasn't this the story where it's like, Buddhist missionaries don't just convert people, they convert the people's dieties as well?

There were local demons and dieties that were converted by Sanzhang yes. And IRL there is a massive amount syncretism on several Buddhist communities in which for example the Herakles of Bactria was turned into a diety that protects the Buddha and his iconography inspired the fierce Nioh statues of Japan.

Is this a good place to ask which are the good animes? I'm a WoD nerd, so I tried to get back into anime through Tokyo Ghoul, but it seems like it totally abandons its premise about halfway through in favour of "Whose tentacles are the strongest?" I'm also slowly reading the manga, but haven't caught up to where I am in the show, so I don't know if it goes off the rails similarly.

Parasyte is great so far, except for the lovely metal.

I heard that Kill la Kill and that Yo La Tengo Toppin' Gurrin' Laggin' thing that I can never spell have actual artistic value.

Watch Hellsing Ultimate, Drifters, LOGH and Haruhi. Read One Piece, Toriko and Baki the Grappler.

Evangelion is better described as "what if a guy tried to write a kaiju-of-the-week show using his high school psychology course as the basis for all the characters, and the plot twist is that he got a D in the class?"

The soundtrack is pretty amazing but that's the best thing I can say about it.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Season Zero is a fun viewing: the "Duel Monsters" card game hadn't been introduced, so the series involved Yugi transforming and challenging various criminals and douchebags to different games of skill and chance. The catch? If they lose they get sent to the Shadow Realm loving DIE.

Plus, the series introduced Bakura (and his dark side) through an RPG arc where learning to throw dice so they'll always end up on the number you want is a major factor in the good guys winning.

For a beautiful art piece that'll make you cry in awe, I'd recommend Macross: Do You Remember Love? Totally hand drawn (as it's from the 1980s), I watched it thinking it was overhyped. I was wrong, it was beautiful, and needs to be released on DVD or BD at some point.

And for the contest proper, have you considered "Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy"?

EDIT: It would help if I got the title right...

Kinnikuman Nisei kicks rear end even with the lovely 4kids changes. It also made me read the original manga years later.
