I’ve never seen open development result in any serious changes or ground-up reworks of blatantly bad ideas. Either fans like what is put out in the initial release and maybe want some tweaks to this or that pet issue, or they just hate it from the word go.

Liquid Communism posted:I mean, notionally it's an easy fix. Just scale magic to combat, and remove non combat magic from casters entirely to the realm of magic items and plot macguffins. Just have realistic spellcasting grounded in reality, thus meaning that the only school of magic is Illusion, via cumbersome trick mirrors. “I roll to stun the Orc, by leaving him flabbergasted as I pull an extremely large set of handkerchiefs from my nose!” “Make a sleight of hand check to safely pull the deadly cobra from your hat!” And so on, there I’ve singlehandedly saved D&D your welcome.

Enola Gay-For-Pay posted:This is excellent, as long as we assume that the setting considers this a necessary and worthwhile addition to a party, in much the same way it's ridiculous to assume adventuring parties exist in the first place. Why wouldn’t you bring him along? He can pull platinum coins from out of people’s ears, an infinite number of times per day. Also, realistic clerics cannot heal wounds, but can confer a morale based temporary HP via faith healing, and the placebo effect. Alternatively, just keep the classes largely the same as they are now, but establish in no uncertain terms in the core that the Fighter is more handsome, popular, and has a bigger penis than the Wizard.

Kibner posted:There is also a computer game version of it called Throne of Lies which takes advantage of it being on the computer with things like psychic being able to talk telepathically to someone at night. And contents of whispering during the day being hidden, but not who is doing the whispering and who they are whispering to. Also all the classes have different gimmicks and neutral classes have unique win conditions. The Fool can impersonate other players in whispers, and their goal is to trick the other players into executing them during a trial (it doesn’t count if another player murders them outside a trial). Or neutral killers like the puppet master who can hop from body to body without warning during Night phases. It’s good.

Warthur posted:They did say they'd ceased working with him. What basically owns about this post is that even though Green Ronin may have gotten rid of the rape-man, they can still be treated as if the rape-man is still present and/or actively being endorsed because we can’t trust anything they may say after loving up the first time. Unfucking themselves is unattainable, any attempt is always going to be in bad faith. In retrospect the last paragraph comes off as kind of bitchy sounding, but I want to add that I actually do this sort of thing all the time, and I love it.

I’m not even saying you’re obliged to trust Green Ronin, fam. gently caress them, I have zero investment in them as a consumer, and them being hated is at least at least funny for me! It’s just that, even if they do try to change things now or later on, I can still continue to poo poo on them for loving up in the first place. They mishandled Suleiman, and being honest, no truly good person would have hosed up like that in the first place.

JackMann posted:Apropos of nothing, I vaguely remember a game designer once had a tone deaf suggestion of using the inner city as the setting for a dungeon crawl. I want to say this was from something in the 90's. Does anyone else remember this, or am I going crazy? I'm pretty sure that was just the dude trying to do a satire, and trying to make the point that a bunch of adventurers going into an encampment and killing all the orcs and goblins they can find was also a hosed up thing to do. I'm not sure if Goblin Slayer would approve though.  Libertad! posted:I prefer the X-Crawl setting's version, where dungeon-crawling is a competitive Pay-Per-View blood sport industry. It chews up and spits out promising young talent without so much as a "thank you" and runs on sheer consumerism. Just like real sports. It was also a televised LARPing deathmatch run by God-Emperor Ronald Reagan.

Terrible Opinions posted:It's nice that goblin slayer came along to perfectly demonstrate what I mean when I say a piece of media is for violent middle school boys. Middle school boys should not be reading Goblin Slayer, or Berserk. Heliotrope posted:I think you're thinking of Violence, which set the game of "go into a place and kill everyone/take everything" into the modern age to point up how hosed up it was. If I remember correctly, there were locations/stats of wealthier people included so it wasn't just "going into the poorer parts of cities and killing the people there would be a rad dungeon crawl!" which is what it sounds like the dude in JackMann's post was advocating. Yeah, I definitely remember a guy making an rpg set in modern times but framed just like a dungeon crawl. I think that might be it.

Really, it’s not even that Crybaby is bad, it’s just that when you see someone get devoured alive by a vagina monster in the first episode, you really know what you’re getting into if you keep watching.

golden bubble posted:Just like how the goblin slayer intro is all about goblins raping nubile female adventures before getting slaughtered by the main character. It takes a certain type of reader to make it past those chapters. In all cases it all amounts to cheap shock value designed to be appalling or disturbing. Could they get away with leaving things implied or using something less gratuitous or edgy? Yeah, totally! I love Berserk but I’m never going to recommend it to people who are sensitive about this kind of thing. I felt that reading Berserk was often a difficult and somewhat scarring experience, and I still admire it a lot. The most I can say as that at least it’s all played as something disgusting and negative. Now contrast all that to stuff like Re:Monster where the protagonist does the exact same things as the monsters in Goblin Slayer, but for some reason is supposed to be the good guy. Which is why Goblin Slayer vs. Re:Monster is a good concept for a crossover, at least.
