But of course there isn't a 4E tactical videogame because Hasbro/WOTC is full of loving retarded shitheads who need to be chopped to death with machetes given stern looks!!!

Mario and Rabbids is actually the 4e videogame and you can't convince me otherwise.

I mean, having seen how he looks like, I would not at all be surprised if he sexually harassed women. Not accusing nor, especially not, defending, just saying that he definitely looks like the type of guy who would pull that kind of atrocious stuff.

Is Eclipse Phase 2nd Edition out yet?

BESM is basically a universal system with a focus on anime. The best part is probably how skills can cost differently depending on what genre you're going for. But at this point, if I want to play a game about a high school tennis team, I will probably go with a more narrative system.

BESM is also not really balanced at all.

It hit that point all mockthreads reach where the thread regulars want to keep the funny going at the same pace as before, but have run out of any novel things to laugh at on the reg, so things escalated as people resorted to more desperate measures for laughs.

I would love a version of grognards.txt that was less about gawking at racism, misogyny, and other forms of bigotry, and less about people having Wrong D&D Brain Damage Fun, and more about the crazy lengths some specific kinds of nerds will go to with their hobbies. Like D&D needing to represent dozens of historical currencies, or someone getting way too into figuring out all the in-setting ramifications of D&D wizard magic, that kind of thing.

It's because the autism spectrum has systematization as one of the symptoms, not because of nerds being subhumans. (well it might be considering the goon consensus on people on the spectrum)

Plutonis posted:

It's some of that and the whole self flagellating about "ugh drat nerds" stuff that annoys me. Also how the syndrome is treated on the site as a whole.

You gotta go deeper if you're talking about Japan. The Bible isn't just the main villain of the game, it's actually a piece of propaganda left behind by an alien race in order to foment conflict between mankind. Those who are in power in the Catholic Church who are in charge of interpreting 'the Word of God' are actually in constant communication with the alien race and receive 'blessings' from them in the form of 'miraculous' super-powers when finally cornered (e.g., the Pope can fire energy blasts from his mouth that cannot be blocked by any currently existing technology, on top of having enough strength to caber toss a mosque's minarets onto a city 50 miles away).

In spite of his high view count I cannot find much discussion/synopsis of the campaign. I'm morbidly curious in watching it, but I don't have much time to listen to hours-long videos.

Well now, this is quite a variation on "original character, do not steal"

Some people admitted to naïvely backing it the kickstarter thread. You might need to march them over here and lock them in the pillory for our entertainment.

Is it just CAD with PA for flavour or are they going to branch out? I can respect a well-aimed parody with far too much effort put into it (see the Duckman RPG), but seems narrow. I remember reading far too many mediocre gaming comics back then. Shortpacked might count as an honorary member.

I don't want to reread Bob and George after a decade lest it loses its luster

You should add some edgy flash cartoons in as well like Neurotically Yours

Real Life Comics, though. Man. I used to be such a big fan of Real Life Comics.

Then I went back last year to check it out after like, a decade of not following it. Turns out the creator apparently stole a bunch of people's money and vanished. Oops!

rename the 5e thread 'hell' and then close it

Better it be shorter blurbs here than derails in the 5e thread I'd say. Plus there really are a bunch of people who dont follow this subforum that closely and wouldn't know that dude is a slimeball and has had a hand in harassment. Hell I met the guy in real life once or twice and he seemed fine (and was also a close friend of one of the most genuinely decent people I knew from the industry) His online antics seemed utterly out of character with someone from that circle. Heck back in the grognards.txt days goons were the ones who came off as the weirdos whenever they engaged with him or his girlfriend. -So I think it's okay to occasionally rehash the dude is garbage and Mearls and WotC don't mind.
But I'm also not a regular here anymore so I don't know what's completely overplayed and fruitless.
