hyphz posted:Well, ok, more seriously, it's going to depend a lot on what her actual interest in getting into RPGs was. Play a game that lets you start as a king if that's what she wants? Like there are plenty of games that work around both those objections... But yeah, asking them what type of story they want to explore is solid advice that could inform what kind of games should be suggested, that's a really good point.

So my Metal Gear Solid loving friend is wondering if there are any MGS themed (in whole or part) games out there. The only one I know of off hand is the literal Metal Gear Solid RISK, but are there others?

hyphz posted:Yea, the “possible harm” exception is obviously because they just cribbed the Three Laws of Robotics and need to deal with the I Robot issue of “I must lock all the innocents up in my Holy Camp because if I didn’t one of them might get hurt in a way that being locked up could have prevented.” But really who hasn't built a pyramid to a dread god?

I'm being an idiot and debating picking up a used copy of the Dust Revised Core Set. Anyone played? How much would you value it at if so? I just remember looking into it when I was new into boardgames and being interested but don't remember any refined opinions I might've had.

I was addicted to MtG at the time 3e was getting teased and followed the articles from that. But I think actually I saw a show highlight DnD, asked a friend if he'd heard of it, and tried the Red Box the next day. e: What would people recs be for this profile: Favorite Games: Eminent Domain, Mage Knight, Eternal Respected Games: Dominion, BSG Favorite Mechanics: Asymmetry, Bluffing, Hand Management Favorite Themes: High Fantasy (overdone, but easy sell), Cyberpunk, Bizarre, Anthropocentric Respected Themes: Bizarre Favorite RPG: Unknown Armies Respected RPGs: DRYH, Reign, maybe Delta Green Games I should, but don't like: Battle Con, MtG I think the reason for those two is I really don't like the idea of learning a meta to become a better player. It's not one of my strengths and I have a lot of trouble forcing myself too. So suggestions on how to improve on that would also be appreciated.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:this sounds like someone who needs Gamma World in their life Oh, heh, this person is me. And I was cool with the edition of GW I read a bit and played a bit of, but not crazy about it. Others have suggested Dogs in the Vineyard, which is definitely something I would want to play, but ... no real opportunity too.

Moriatti posted:Try: Right on. I bounced off GH but I think that was because I was joining a campaign en media res. Never tried PT or DT, but if I get the chance I definitely will now! I've heard of Valor on here, but I'll have to look into it more. And Strike was on my too play list until I realized it would be easier to just get 4e played and that's not happening with any of my groups any time soon. On recollecting, I did sit down to play Doomtown, the KS'd from like 5 years ago I think, but then the owner decided we should play Epic instead. And while I find high level Epic gameplay interesting enough now too watch, it didn't stick the landing back then. Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I'm trying to work on expanding the games I play.

Moriatti posted:Yeah, a big part pf Gloomhaven is building your guy with your friends, it's not a one and done type deal so I can see bouncing off it.  Definitely!It'll probably be a while before I get to try anything recommended sadly. But hopefully sometime soon! I keep meaning to pick up Strike! but always am reminded of it when I'm broke so to the back of my mind it goes. Trying to think of other games that have interested me: Summoner Wars (ran out of people to play with, never felt super enthused to play it), Mage Wars (I literally don't get the games action economy on a fundamental level, and the only way I could win by avoiding it was actually not legal after some research, so I stopped wanting to play it - the game kinda reminded me of playing a multi-unit hero in a moba, another action economy type deal I'll never get), various TCGs (no one wants to get recommended these :P), Not Alone (only played once, I liked what it was going for but don't know if it's implementation would keep my interest), Castles of Burgundy (point salad euros are usually a miss, but this is the one I most remember playing?), Risk 2142 (wouldn't play it now, but at the time I first played it, it felt revolutionary), BatHotH (I loved this when it first came out, spent nights running through it with friends, I don't think it holds up and I'd rather not play it because the less I'm reminded of how poorly done it is the happier I am with my memories of how much fun I had), and that's what I can think of off the top of my head. Obviously lots of these I've grown out of, but there's something in a lot of them that interested me as a less experienced tradgamer and a more refined game that did something similar could probably draw me in. Oh, on the RPG front: DnD 3 and 4 have mixed memories (though generally much more positive for 4, both because of its elegance and the increased maturity of my gaming groups), Ars Magica (always interested, will probably never play, the bookkeeping would probably kill me?), Dark Heresy (never got far with this one, but I had fun STing it), nWoD (Hunter was the best rpg gaming experience I've had, we rotated story teller and I really enjoyed my character, which I didn't even make and misread the concept (it was paranormal PI, I read paranoid PI - which came back to bite me when in our last session I did something crazy paranoid and they were like "why would you do that?!"), I kinda enjoyed Vampire though those friends consider it superhero-y now), oWoD (actually pretty bad memories, but I was really new to the hobby), also I think I prefer Unknown Armies 2e to 3e for gaming, but plot wise 3e seems more solid. Sorry for the wall of text y'all.

Yawgmoth posted:Please tell me what's wrong with it because it seems like a game that would be right up my alley but I have been burned by that type of game before. Haven't played, and totally feel you on the idea that it seems cool, but watching gameplay and sitting on the idea of interacting with the premise through the mechanisms I saw completely soured me on it.

Lemon-Lime posted:Unless you mean something different, it's about as far from "meta-dependent" as possible because it's entirely matchup-dependent. The only "meta" characters are the 4-5 characters that are clearly a bit too strong, and they're all getting hit with the nerf bat as part of this Kickstarter. Sorry, yeah, the idea of learning matchups is synonymous with learning a meta for my tcg addled mind. I realize this is pretty unreasonable. ;_; e: let me clarify a little, I like learning how a "deck" plays, I like learning how different decks play, I don't like learning how deck A needs to play deck B specifically, as opposed to how deck A needs to play generally. I recognize learning matchups is a huge part of most competitive games, it just feels bad to me? Anniversary fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Sep 23, 2018 |
