Why do OSR boomers act like their shitty rollslop is good? It's unplayable and boring. Every edition is better than the last, so they are willingly choosing to play a bad edition. Wtf?Pic related, a shitty OSR dungeon
>>97798845Pointless thing to ask as I know the first decade shit is just damage control for the fact Dragonlance came out in 1e.
>>97798944Interesting, you cant actually answer the question?And who mentioned dragonlance? No one cares about or plays in some mormon couple's storyshitter supremo questo.
>>97800202Your question is pointless as your decade thing retarded. I bring up Dragonlance because it came out 1984 making it the end point of your decade faggotrty. The Dragonlance setting had a long run for something someone dumb seems to think no one cared about.>storyshitterThanks for telling everyone how much of a dumb nogames you are.
>>97798649>4, Muh first decade'Here we go! Let's get bingo!
>>97793980OSR bros aren't grogs. They're making up a way they think we used to play, and holding up an ideal that never existed. We didn't play like that.
I win the argument.
>>97800974NTA, but it's your fault for not being more concise.
>>97800521To most players, railroading is just the DM doing something they don’t like, much like how Godwin’s law has kind of eroded due to lack of intelligence in using it.
>OP still seething mad even after he allegedly won
>>97800995It’s my fault someone else can’t read above a third grade level?
>>97801010I do not think that's true. I've only seen players call railroading when it's obvious their ability to make choices that impact the game are being negated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhFxsaSh0kQ>the paper is laminated

>>97799190Continuing on this, by all means, you could try homebrewing it. Perhaps it would make sense to spawn the roachlings at the end of the turn to reduce the sheer interrupt potential of immediate on death spawning
>>97799229>>97799190>>97799229I dunno how it would work, but lucky I'm not making the game so I don't have to. They got the rule wrong.
>>97800414It wouldn't be too hard, but would definitely be more complicated than what the designer probably wants for the game.
>>97800789I guess. I can see your point. Just so many of the other units are accurate to the games/lore so it's a shame the Corpser is wrong, purely because Corpsers are my favourite unit in SC2's campaign.
>>97801009I love Roaches, but Hydralisks will always be my favourite Zerg unit (basic bitch choice I know lol).

>>97799712this post helped me firm up that if I wanted to run a necromunda TTRPG it would be best to smash rogue trader on top of only war
>>97800640Peeps used to jump at that sort of thing years ago. Now, many want "curated" or approved experiences, i.e. you're playing Dark heresy thus you MUST be an Inquisitorial Cell and you MUST fight a pyrrhic victory against [official statted enemy] or you're playing wrong. It happened to my brother too, he wanted to run DnD for the first time and he burned himself out trying to emulate big influencer groups, because "that's how you're SUPPOSED to play," even though I tried to say you can do whatever, and it hurt to see.An out of band experimental game for a very old system though, I do agree that the cards are stacked against me even before you factor in the content.
>>97800800yeah I've noticed that too. people now value brand official content explicitly for the fact that it's brand official. it was weird watching the culture shift
>>97800800Back in the day when finding a game was easy and standard inquisitorial cell fighting against the terror was everywhere, a novel concept was a draw. Now, you'll be hard-pressed to find a game at all, and a lot of the newer audience (myself included) have never actually experienced a 'normal' campaign for most systems.I played a good Rogue Trader campaign, it died, I'd like to play more of your typical RT campaign because I'm not tired of it yet, but I'd be open to something a little left of center, like playing an officer of the Imperial Navy. I played a relatively short game of Deathwatch, it ended quickly, I'd like to play more normal Deathwatch so I can get more of that core experience. I haven't played any Dark Heresy or Only War, so when I'm able to, I'd like to play a pretty normal game of those to try them out.I haven't played enough of anything to want to go quite as wild as your premise.
>>97800883It's called normalmaxxing nowadays
With how much the board is overly critical of D&D, I figured it would be interesting to find out what system /tg/ likes running?
>>97800161Well, maybe I'll give it a try someday (doubt). I even made a custom card with the main abilities. But I bounced hard from the following things:- Gathering a dice pool from different colors is fiddly.- Armor rolls are annoyingly fiddly.- The Will meta currency (your MPs) feels poorly thought through. It is too easy to find yourself without or with too many points when it relies on you failing the rolls to be able to use your abilities. I guess it need some quick fix, but I am afraid home rule can unpredictably make it worse.- Some talents like Lucky or the one that omits the pain rule are ridiculous solutions to artificial problems.- Crafting and base building are here, but it is a mirage. How much and in what exact quantities should players get the resources? Up to GM. Up to GM my ass.- RAW hex crawl is boring. There are simply too many generic checks to role-play them properly, and not that many impactful events.- Game really implies that you should use an official campaign like Raven's Purge, but I am not impressed by the lore or how the plot goes. Especially some "DMPC" bard-trickster rubs me the wrong way.
>>97800073The effort you go to in order to try and pretend the most played RPG on this board is hated here is sad. Imagine how much /tg/ must hate all the other games that make up less than 20% of what people play here; in your mental universe that is.
>>97799563I like Call of Cthulhu, Savage Worlds (with a few alterations) and Pathfinder 1e. I currently have a game running 2/3 of these systems. Feel free to hate.
>>978000695e is shat on here constantly not sure what you are on about but that's how it is when something is popular on 4chan.
>>97799563D&D 4E and homebrew games.
Now the secrets out this has been asked a lot but heres the skinny, like it or not:1.The concept of the endless realms was intended to let players create their own narratives but players found the scale too big and made it feel like nothing mattered. This made narrative interest almost impossible.2.Sales have dropped. The game is not a failure but 4th edition commercially was. The game is not dying but its also not growing. So something had to change to make the game more appealing to a wider target audience as costs increase due to the overall economic climate.3.Sigmar and the Stormcast were an attempt to recreate the Emperor of Man and Adeptus Astartes that simply failed. People did not like them. From terms like "Age of Shitmar" to "Sigmarines" -which leadership have always been well aware of- there was a perception of them being a cheap knock off that couldn't be shook. So they are being massively reduced in scope with normal humans becoming the figureheads again.4.The Last World allows them to bring things closer in line to WHFB in the same way 40k and HH have changed to bring more unification to their brands. AoS brought in people who played 40k or never touched wargaming at all but as we saw with the infamous dark elf army burning back in the day WHFB players did not buy in and GW lost an entire audience they previously had on lockdown. TOW brought many back but they want to see if TLW can be a bridge between TOW and 40K and appeal to both5.Leadership has changed. Behind closed doors many of the creative leads of Age of Sigmar have retired from the company. The change in leadership was seen as a moment to pivot creatively to try and achieve the growth 4th edition never achieved.TL:DR Age of Sigmar sales have stagnated and leadership has left so 5th edition is a reboot moment to reinvigorate the brand for a wider audience. Its not End Times 2 and only Stormcast will be effected in terms of an entire range getting "squatted".
>>97800779>>97800354Gw generally was just in a really fucking alwful spot. I can’t pinpoint the exact time, but around 7th edition fantasy had the worst fucking artists, same with 40k. Cg book covers, the worst fucking rules known to man for both 40k and fantasy, the fiction generally wasn’t really stand out either, but yeah I can see why gw felt the need to do something as drastic as they did with 40k, let alone fantasy/aos.
>>97800354>>97800779>>97800818The real trvth nvke is that gw is shit at coming up with maps and placenames (and arguably names in general) when they can't just ape from real life. In whfb that makes sense, in aos that doesn't. But even back in whfb you saw them utterly fail at this kind of stuff when they had to design and name regions that didn't just come from irl. See the chaos wastes for example, both the darklands are also full of meme names like these, though I grant they executed it better there.
>>97781288>>97781429
>>97781893personally speaking i find the existential horror of them being kept from eternal rest to be the most compelling thing about stormcast.
>>97800894>The real trvth nvke is that gw is shit at coming up with maps and placenames (and arguably names in general) when they can't just ape from real life.That is pretty much every company trying to create names that can get trademarks/copyrights under an executive mandate. Instead of going for "natural" names they end up creating these artificial compound word names. 4e D&D suffered from it heavily as well.
I'll start>D&D 5E is a heroic fantasy game (I didn't say good), trying to do anything else should have you using a different system.
5e is the best RPG for a new player to get into
What's the worst -punk aesthetic? Steampunk, clockpunk, what?
>>97774590The wrong kind of -punk is just wallowing in the vibes it gives instead of trying to focus on how things would work in practice. The most classic case of midwit intellectualism is pointing at a problem and saying it exists, without offering solutions.Solarpunk offers an actual suggestion of "this is what to strive for", which can be much more conducive to finding solutions. Also, focusing on the unsustainability of current technology has you not seeing the forest from the trees. Surely the setting relies on some kind of new technologies and practices that are in balance with nature. That is not physically impossible.That being said, I don't think it's within human nature to accept a compromised life like that. In practice other -punks are probably a lot better, but If a solarpunk setting addressed the philosophical/human nature issues in some way, it would have a LOT to say.
What's the aesthetic of D&D players and Pathfinder players hating each other all the time like they are Catholics vs Protestants in the 16th century? Religiouswar-core?
>>97783971>Dieselpunk exists in direct opposition to Futurism???
>>97798511I don't see an ounce of Y2K in cassette futurism. Like that writeup says, the furthest you could stretch cassette futurism is to include end-of-the-millenium VR, the last stretches of that technology before the Oculus Rift was prototyped in 2010.
>>97798511> Most dieselpunk works fully embrace the Futurist aesthetic and mentality.Futurists themselves (eg, Nazis, Blackshirts and Soviets) are without fail the main antagonists and the thing your punks are rebelling against, with the latter "sometimes" getting a pass in the context of fighting the former.The only times that futurists aren't depicted as antagonistic or some level of insane are Howard Hughes, H.G. Wells, and maybe Tesla so long as he isn't allowed to spout his political opinions.

>>97788606How are you supposed to build a deck using booster packs when the cards in a given set require cards that haven't been printed in years? No, I don't think we should be forced to buy singles to build even a basic shit deck.
>>97800582Play Pokemon.No seriously, I think pokemon is the ONLY TCG to allow you to buy packs and be somewhat competitive, fuck they even sell meta decks for cheap.
>>97801025Pokemon is a shit game, and you're forced to compete against scalpers just to try and get the latest packs. It's ridiculous.
>>97801049>try and get the latest packsyeah for collector reasons, not for competitive playing reasons.
>>97799994Damn man, sorry to hear that. If they don't already have a set day for play then maybe ask the owner if you can make a quick flier to post up in the store to advertize a day for casual play (non tournament, more like "randos to play against, mondays at 6 at tables 1-4")
