Are you guys talking about Gutter from the Union? Because uhhh when I read that, I finally realized that this was not the wacky Soccer themed Blood Bowl I came in for...Guild Ball Season 1 posted:
I mean, even after that there's a lot of stuff that's either grim or just downright depressing. The team captain of the Butcher's Guild, for example, goes on a killing spree to get revenge for someone shanking his teammate, only to be left for dead by his number two. And in season two you get stuff like a team captain from season one basically getting tossed away like garbage because they were crippled in a match. I mean, different strokes and the fluff is largely irrelevant to the game itself but I went in to the setting fluff expecting a hoot like soccer themed Wacky Racers and Blood Bowl's 'dark-elf assassin that was hired after he killed a player during a match, only to be passed the ball accidentally and fleeing all the way to a touchdown' but then I read the fluff and it was a downer!

CaptCommy posted:Yeah the fluff is super duper easy to ignore if you want. I do think they've done a better job with the writing as the game has gone on, but I also understand if the Gutter stuff still turns people away. The early stuff is definitely "my first grimdark" Yeah, I think part of why I found Guildball less appealing for me was that I went in wanting and expecting Soccer Bloodbowl. Malifaux is over the top in edginess too, but I’m more willing to tolerate it because I already go in knowing it’s edgy. The Ressurectionists have Seamus, the bastard child of Jack the Ripper and the Mad Hatter, who ressurects the prostitutes he murders as his undead minions and is at a minimum implied to be a necrophiliac. But Malifaux isn’t vaguely similar to a different game that I have nostalgia for so I just shrug and make an Ortega crew. Because family values and violence are my jams.

Personally, I'm fine with a better environment for women in tabletop gaming, and am glad that Mike Mearls and Wizards of the Coast have taken a stand to support it. I don't know why that's so controversial.

Inescapable Duck posted:Source your quotes Here's the biggest example: https://www.gamesradar.com/star-tre...need-right-now/. Which I think is an awful take because when Star Trek first aired the Vietnam War was ongoing and JFK was killed only a couple of years before, and everyone was terrified of mutual nuclear annihilation, which I'd have to think is significantly more traumatic than having a bad President in office. The other bit was just paraphrased online slapfights with the basic premise of "you Star Trek fans are just calling Discovery poo poo because you're threatened by a woman of color as a protagonist." I do mean it when I say that Warhammer 40,000 is better though, and not just because of all the pedophiles who happen to be Trekkies!

I appreciate that it depicts a diverse and healthy group of friends having a good time, like most 40K fans, in contrast the pack of psychopaths that play Warmachine/Hordes and are undoubtedly Alt-Right.

It’s canon in one of the novels that Fabius Bile considers male only Space Marines to be pointlessly exclusionary, and his own attempts at creating transhumans deliberately avoid making gender a limiting factor
