remusclaw posted:people have argued to me that Miyazaki movies aren't really anime because they are good, so gently caress if I know. I think these people think anime means characters turning into chibi versions of themselves with blood pouring out of their nose, or the sweat drop thing, or wavy lines behind them or whatever happening. They're wrong obviously but whatever

I can't even remember why we're recommending anime, but Cowboy Bebop is a lot like an RPG group of competent people doing missions semi competently. Best music ever and great characters, let down only by the fan servicey design of the main female lead, but that's easy to ignore if you've ever seen any other female anime character

quote:A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or high-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Sounds pretty close to the mark for Rey, no matter how you fluff the backstory. She's like, 16-18 and kicks arse at everything.

Kai Tave posted:But if you give her a dick then she's basically Luke Skywalker, backwoods farmboy from Planet Sticksville who goes on to discover that his dad was actually Kickass Pilot McSpaceknight, rescues a princess from a space fortress, then turns around and blows up said space fortress with his incredible starfighter piloting skills (and maybe his innate space magic because he's Just That Special) which he learned shooting space varmints, and nobody felt compelled to write a dozen clickbait articles about how Luke Skywalker is the original Mary Sue. Maybe Luke is too, but it's also a matter of degrees. All Luke really manages to do is fly an X-Wing (which I agree should be beyond a farm boy) and trust the force to pull the trigger at the right time. Guess what, Star Wars sucks and the writing is bad to horrible for almost the entire seven films I've seen. I'm not defending Luke -or- Rey, but I don't think Rey is worse because she's a female it's because she's plainly a loving Mary Sue to a degree above.

okay, this can be the last from me about this in this thread, I tried to move it to a Star Wars thread to prevent being off topic but whatever. Clearly we all have different opinions on what a Mary Sue is, clearly some people think it is more pejorative than others using it. Clearly people see what Luke got up to as being about similar to what Rey gets up to. I am not in that camp. To my viewing Rey is portrayed as being able to do everything and being great at doing everything while that was not Luke. I still think Star Wars sucks.

Flavivirus posted:Alternatively, if they really prized being able to just pick up and play a particular faction deck (as they did with Netrunner) they could just sell a second box that's the extra copies of all 2- or 1-copy cards. Pretty certain that would sell well enough to be profitable. or seeing as there are a bunch of factions in L5R have only a few factions per complete box, and multiple boxes

Obviously all the Telltale games are dogshit except for the only one I've played, Wolf Among Us, that I enjoyed as a story. Just let the company make the games, they'll stop when people stop enjoying them and buying them.

My Lovely Horse posted:Yesterday one of my players gave us that coveted moment of excitement you get when you experience something you've only ever heard of by rolling three critical hits in a row. Then turn order moved on to the next player, who made an attack and also rolled a critical hit. Worst kind of roleplay story in my opinion

JackMann posted:You fly on airplanes and don't want to fly on the Wright Flyer? The Wright Flyer is the is the father to all aircraft. If it wasn't for the Wright Brothers and H.G. Wells airplanes would have been created much later than 1903 and the current popularity of aeronautics probably wouldn't be around until a decade or two from now. Of course, this is coming from someone who's a second generation flyer, who learned about flying from single-engine propeller planes. I don't care much for jets and I haven't flown on the most recent models. I enjoy blimps, though. I've also dabbled with some gliders and rotary wing aircraft.

Tank was a term they were using in WW1 to obfuscate the development program of what we're familiar with now. They were pretending they were making a machine to bring water to the front lines in big 'tanks' and the nickname stuck.

I think a big problem with FATE is that everyone seems to describe it as 'rules lite' and I don't think it should be. Did the system makers bring that on themselves or has the opinion mistakenly grown organically?

Covok posted:For some reason, that's just a strange thing to say to me. I mean, of course it looks like something from DeviantArt. I can guarantee you all those artist had a DeviantArt account. I can guarantee you many artists in TRPGs have DeviantArts. On more than one occasion, I've looked for artists to hire using DeviantArt as one of my resources and, when I was trying to get the guy from Masks to do art for a 3rd party playbook, I checked for him (and found him) on DeviantArt. It might be a lovely, old social media site, but its where a lot of artists (including many professionals) hang out and it's place where people know to look when they need a commission. there is so much amazing, professional and amateur art on DA I don't think people should trash it because others who aren't so good post to it as well
