Are there any videogames that can somewhat simulate the feeling of playing a tabletop RPG?

god the horse mask trend was so fucking obnoxious, everyone thought they were so funny

Tabletop simulator.

Horsemasks and the Harlem shake were the point of no return for the culture of the interweb.

>>748152090
Horse masks are still funny

Yeah.
Tabletop simulator.

Normies really do live miserable lives don't they
>>748152090
Bronies appropriating them and calling themselves horsefuckers was probably the last nerd culture before safe consumerism took over.

Isn't this exactly BG3's hook? With the dice anims and shit?

I used to be obsessed with D&D in high school but realized that the games never lived up to my expectations. Eventually you have to recognize that you're not playing a game, you're playing make believe with a bunch of mentally ill people
>>
>>748153095
Have you tried not playing with mentally ill people?
>>
>>748153095
>Eventually you have to recognize that you're not playing a game, you're playing make believe with a bunch of mentally ill people
The idea that some rando DM would be able to improvise a narrative better than the best fantasy authors on the spot in response to whatever random shit the group is doing is something I'm positive has never happened.

>>748151947
fallout 1+2 feel like tabletop. they've got some jank though.
>>
>>748153095
>Eventually you have to recognize that you're playing make believe
Yeah? That's the point? that's how every single RPG describes what the fuck you're doing on the very first few pages of the rulebooks
did you just never read the D&D rulebooks? Or were you just exceedingly retarded as a highscooler?
>>
>>748153426
Earlier editions at least pretended that the rules mattered and there was a difference between playing well and poorly

nobody plays DnD as an alternative to reading literature. are you actually retarded?
>>
>>748151947
Nope.
Can't get it anywhere else.
I should get off my ass and start adapting high fell like I was gonna.
>>
>>748153801
You can just keep playing earlier editions
or come join the real big boys and play GURPS
>>
>>748151947
Depends on what part of it you are referring to. The social part? The utter freedom? No. Impossible, unless you have some AI help you.

Some very few games get closer than others. These felt a bit like a TTRPG to me:
BG3 (duh)
Icewind Dale 1&2
Etrian Odyssey
The original Final Fantasy
Ultimate Underworld
Thief
Fallout
Arcanum
>>
>>748152416
So you mean non-normies get together with a 7+ people friend group weekly?
>>
>>748153801
That's why the OSR (the actual one not what redditorfaggots mislabel) is/was so good.
Plenty of people who want to play old school AD&D in a non-faggy way.
>>
Dwaf fortress and space station 13. If you want multiplayer, then kenshi co-op mod or runescape

>>748152318
It's still insane to me that the harlem shake originated from filthyfrank. A shitpost so powerful it shit the entire world

I bet she sees her guy friends every other night.

>>748153265
Probably, but a DM giving you a better time with friends through a personalized adventure than any fantasy has ever given you in your idle hours is pretty common

Where are your friends, /v/?
>>
>>748152416
you're a normalfag if you have friends to nerd out with
>>
Sadly, no. Nothing really can. Not even tabletop simulator. It just ain't the same.
>>
Stuff like Sunderfolk has a 4th wall breaking DM and the game is framed as just a tabletop adventure with friends.
>>
>>748155638
dead
>>
>>748151947
thankfully no
CRPGs are much better due not requiring social interaction, and for being entirely predefined
>>
>>748155638
In another city because they have good jobs and I got priced out. I have to drive two hours or take a train to see them, which means if it isn't a weekend, they're playing at 6pm and there's no point to me coming.
>>
>>748155717
>and for being entirely predefined
This is a huge advantage given they provide a fully explorable total experience in a way that improvisation isn't going to.
>>
>>748151947
BG3?
>>
>>748151947
no
there are solo tabletop RPGs if you really want that but have no friends
>>
>>748153426
the point is it's all imaginary stuff. I need to see something otherwise it's not immersive at all. That's why i like dnd videogames like baldur's gate but not the tabletop. I want to see shit

different anon but i tried the d&d club at my college, and out of the 50 assembled people in the first meeting, 1/4 of them were visibly troons
does it get better when you're out of school?
>>
>>748153095
Man, I wish I realized D&D was never going to live up to my expectations decades ago. I had a few okay game nights in all those years. Only a few. The effort I put in trying to make it happen. The money I wasted on books. The time I wasted reading rules and mastering them so that I didn't have to look them up during sessions. It was all a waste. The sad thing is that simply writing or reading is closer to what I dreamed of as a kid than any session every will be. I hate how everything is a joke to people. D&D was Marvel writing before Marvel writing was even a meme. The original game was incredible. But nobody wants to explore a dungeon like it's Etrian Odyssey in 2026. You're just better off replaying Wizardry, reading, or writing and imagining your own shit.
>>
>>748157656
Why not play with friends? I got into D&D playing foundry online with my friends and it's always a great time.
>>
I also want to leave a thought here for some anons. If you're attracted by the tactical nature of some editions of D&D, then consider getting into Battletech. It's a really great set of rules. It's the one game that won't rip you off. The full rules are getting a reprint this month for the first time in forever. It's by far the best of the old tabletop games. The combat and simulation is GOAT. There's also a few video games that are worth playing.
>>
>>748151947
No.
>>
>>748151947
LOL
>>
>>748158385
they're scattered to the winds so no IRL
could try and pitch that foundry thing to em though, thanks for the idea
>>
>>748155638
Living across the country, we play wc3 custom games every night.
>>
Play dokapon kingdom instead, relaunched on modern platforms so you can play online
>>
>>748158991
Foundrys great. Automation, sound effects, and animations make it much more enjoyable.

>>748151947
>videogames that simulate tabletop
Cringe

BUH BUH BASED

normalniggers ruin everything they touch
it's like they have the midas touch, but instead of gold they turn things into styrofoam spray painted yellow, which they then insist is gold
>>
>>748151947
all famous tabletop games have a vidya variant
>>
>>748155638
In big city 2 hours drive from our hometown, but we stay in touch.
They are racists however and so am I
>>
>>748151947
bg3 co-op
right down to me using wizard to piss off the table rogue by making him feel redundant
