Nickoten posted:I think dieselpunk pretty accurately describes Final Fantasy VII just from hearing it. This is the only thing I've seen it used to describe and now I'm convinced it was created to describe Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy VII is cyberpunk, just a different strain of it than the kind that's heavily concerned with information technology.

Leperflesh posted:Hit points don't make sense in any fashion and never have, so someone who understands they're an abstraction doesn't need to wonder why healing spells are also an abstraction. I seem to recall hit points were invented for naval simulation war games, where they represented large ships getting hit with cannonballs. A big boat could remain quite capable of combat under sustained punishment until it finally capsized. When the rules were adapted for leisure instead of training, they ported the mechanics over without caring much about realism, down through Chainmail's more expensive ancestors and into video games.

Kurieg posted:Even then with their skill selection and access to the ritual magic feat for free wizards and clerics are still the best at it. "It's bad that martial classes can take the Ritual Caster feat" is a flavor of grog I've never tasted before.

Running a game shouldn't be so much homework. This is what I believe.

bewilderment posted:A massive amount of 4e hate is that it required a grid, which is why DnD5e doesn't have the minis-on-a-grid pics that the last two editions had. All versions of D&D require a grid.

Season 1 suffered from being cut in half, season 2 suffered from recycling the ideas that were cut from season 1, but I'll hear nothing against seasons 3 and 4. They should make a tabletop game about that franchise. The setting is wonderful, and encompassing both series would ensure it has the versatility I like in a system.

Dawgstar posted:'DnD Champion?' I'm sorry but you cannot win a roleplaying game. It doesn't mean someone who wins it, it means someone who is a champion for it, i.e. a successful and prolific spokesperson and/or a knight whose shield has the D&D logo on it.

Fascism evolves. It also attempts to incorporate and co-opt signifiers of good things. There are no shortcuts for identifying fascism; it is necessary to understand your own society.

People who expect to be able to find players are more likely to buy a game book. I think the group forms first and then the book is sold to one or more members.

There's nothing wrong with 4e that can't be fixed by adapting it into a video game (with a short, curated list of meaningful feats).

Lemon-Lime posted:My favourite part of this is how they use "D&D" as shorthand for roleplaying games in general throughout the entire survey. I assumed they were talking about D&D specifically, and simply not acknowledging any competing products at all.
