Covok posted:How has 6 Feats Under been? I haven't heard from them in a while. Either they have disbanded or there is a large backlog to get caught up on. mouse guard campaign is v. good, i'm catching up on a year or so of backlog (almost finished with summer) and i'm enjoying it immensely, everyone is cute and entertaining fellowship is probably also good but i wasn't really feeling the first couple of episodes when they were coming out so i'm waiting till i'm caught up on mouse guard to give it another try

Covok posted:You ever worry you might be a grognard? I'm on this Discord about comic books. Occasionally, they talk about role playing games. But they always say things that make me go "ugh." Like, right now there was a discussion about how much better it is to roll for stats than any other system. And I'm just trying to say that that doesn't work for any Edition after second (and arguably not even then). But once they responded to my assertion, I just didn't feel like responding. They said it's better because it's more fun and I realize that it was stupid for me to argue with them about such things and that my opinion is not the most important even if I do think I'm right. having an opinion doesn't make you a grognard

Mendrian posted:To me the most damning thing about Zak in this industry is that he was such a shitlord for so long and so many normal-seeming people would look at all the allegations surrounding him and think, 'yeah but do we *really* have enough evidence?' I just don't understand why he was well respected by an industry he basically pestered his way into. there's not alot of money in this industry so when you want to be able to make games full time and not have to have a dayjob on top of that to make ends meet you don't push away a guy with an established audience unless you absolutely have to

drrockso20 posted:They aren't making Weird Fantasy stuff because they think that TSR D&D didn't have it, it's because they feel that WOTC D&D and Pathfinder have been lacking in the weird and exotic, so there's plenty of room in the market for that sort of thing and a lot of what they're putting out is great i think the point is more that aping old d&d stuff hardly qualifies as 'weird' within the pen and paper space

Each of these new figures has its own rules and abilities and is supposed to be balanced so that a team is decided by number of members, not points cost.The initial line up is an expected mix of pop culture and superhero properties: Batman, Rick and Morty, Harry Potter.

i ran into 3.5's problems as a newbie, by which i mean i tried playing it once and thought character creation was really complicated and boring, that game fell apart, and i felt no reason to get into pen and paper stuff for another 6 or so years when the great 4e wave swept SA like, that's kind of a thing too, the people who bounce off of d&d could easily assume that's just how all games are so they don't stick around the pen and paper community to say their piece

theironjef posted:There are few properties I'd less rather play than Pokemon, just because I don't give a dry gently caress about the little rats or whatever, and even if I wanted to play a pet battle collecting game, I'd be desperate to avoid people telling me the male/female birthrates of sandshrews or what percentage chances the table for a Type VI humanoid egg has or whatever. It's a game that already comes with a high level of genre nerdery, and any given game built to run it will never have enough stats for the fans. i feel like you're vastly overestimating the percentage of min-maxing competitive players that exist in the fanbase of a franchise for kids that sells millions of copies

tuxedo catfish i think some of the disconnect here is that when other people are lamenting the 'crunch' of pokemon that fans obsess over they're talking more about IV/EVs or egg moves or natures; the kinds of things that's very very irrelevant to anyone not playing competitive pvp and in a lot of ways mostly just exists as busywork for people who want the 'perfect' charizard. no one's gonna object to elemental weaknesses or choosing powers or using items in a pokemon trpg
