lets tighten up this loose beef with something we can all shut the gently caress about, and that's motherfucking heist games! Deep down, we all know that the only thing stopping us from stealing is our lack of abilities or connection to someone cool enough to let us join their steal stuff crew. Thankfully, through the world of pretend, we can be cool stuff stealers. There are many cool games about stealing, some of my favorites are  It's half past the future, and your favorite dnd races are teaming up to steal from the man, in order to become the man. They made some video games! I haven't played them. I also haven't played the elf game, but it's cyberpunk, the best kind of punk, and the systems are kinda clunky!  This city is up to its balls in ghosts and you and your crew are gonna rob it blind while it's not looking. Be a Peaky Blinder, only in a city fueled by ghosts next to a broken ocean of blood and star stuff! Gain STRESS to flash back to important moments before your heist went wrong! As seen on Friends at the Table!  This one is more story gaming, works wonders for a one off! I can't imagine trying to continue this for the long run! What are YOUR favorite heist games? Why should I go gently caress myself?

Mr. Maltose posted:A Heist game list without Leverage is a drat poor list. Leverage is built from the ground up to be a game about stealing poo poo and that's all. No muss, no fuss, no cruft. When I'm not phone posting I'll put in some details and charts and so on but if you want to steal poo poo do it in Leverage. I've never heard of this game, give us the deets. Also, the tv show leverage isn't bad.

SunAndSpring posted:How is Mutants and Masterminds? Might be doing a superhero game soon so I'm looking into picking that up. I read Masks and that's a little too specialized towards relationships and not general punch-man stuff. You get a million points to throw at crunch and if that's your thing then you'll dig it. Sometimes the power scaling goes wack, like the time my super speedster punched a kryptonian into space on accident.

fool_of_sound posted:I'm legitimately not sure why depicting slavers as villains is a problem?? Emancipation through the overcoming of tyranny or slavery is a classic, resonant story. The short of it is because slavery was a real rear end thing and it's weird how only the dark skinned ~exotic~ races in elf games seem to practice them considering history

I'm not saying that you can't or shouldn't talk about slavery in elf games but I'm saying we're doing a poo poo job if we we're doing it like this.

Plutonis posted:I recently joined the altright movement and named the three newborn piglets born from my aryan bred sow on the european white south Brazilian white nationalist white separatist commune I live Donald Trump, Milo Yabblapolvis and Julius Evola but I shan't be running DnD 5E on our Aryan Game night due to how clunky and buggy the system is and will rather play Varg Vikernes' Myfarog instead. I mean yeah sure, you could make a post like this if you wanted to. edit: Fuego Fish posted:I get the feeling that if you told people "oh yeah, the D&D 5e PHB gives special thanks to a white supremacist" there would be a lot more loud discourse along the lines of "what the gently caress" and maybe even some actual blowback in WotC's direction. I think you underestimate how terrible nerd culture is and people's commitment to pretending like games and art just plop out of thin air. ^nerd culture attracts these people because critical analysis is a hosed thing in america Ominous Jazz fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Mr.Misfit posted:Strange thing to ask, but exists there such a thing as a Atlas-Shrugged-inspired trpg? As strange as that may sound, I´ve just recently thought that with something like Objectivism and the revival of the concepts in modern american political culture and the movies coming out (despite their quality or content, really), that might have been a field people tried to make something playable. Hey Matt, how's your Monday game going? Anyways, no that's not really a thing. Paranoia maybe?

I mean "challenging" is a really generous read but for sure, dude who's making triggered jokes. The best way to get a child into board games is by playing them, but a four year old isn't about to be playing pathfinder with you any time soon. Pretty much anything they do until 8 is arbitrary and accidental.
