If you could choose the set of core classes (in the PHB/core book and ideally the rest of the classes are designed around them) what would you choose?They don't have to be identical to their current incarnations.For me its,>Ranger,absorbs a lot of the fighter but keeps the independent survivalist schtick.>Paladin, Divine warrior with special abilities but no spells>Rogue,Sneaky stabby martial, basically as he is now>Wizard,>Druid,>Cleric,Default to being lightly armoured wandering friar tuck type character, but with options to put on some armour and bonk.
>>97278684many tabletop campaigns consist of things other than endless combat encounters
>>97277820what are games that are not that?
>>97277187Classes are gay
I would prefer Warrior/Thief/Mage, with universal feats Mages select a casting stat (Sage=Int, Mystic=Wis, Prodigy=Cha) and a power source (Arcane, Occult or Primal). So theoretically you could be a Wisdom-based Arcane caster.A Paladin-style character can be built as a Warrior with some spellcasting feats, or as a Mage (Occult) with combat feats and weapon proficiencies.
>>97278684>think there's a niche for a rogue-adjacent mundane support class; a guy who shouts encouragement and doesn't actually do much on his own, just sets other people up to do cool stuff, without using tinkly-wee singing/magic. A master of Pocket Sand, if you will.Warlord, but sneaky. Interesting.

>>97275534I am amazed that a ruleset so bland and boring actually has enough traction to warrant a 2nd edition.
>>97275538Depends on what you consider skirmish but for fantasy stuff Song of Blades and Heroes is a classic but lately I've been using Thud and Blunder more and more. Unironically Savage Worlds makes for a pretty good wargame thanks to its heritage. If you want Sci-Fi Stargrunt 2 is the king IMHO but there are some worthy competitors like Fast and Dirty, Clash on the Fringe, Fivecore, No Stars in Sight, and Tomorrows War.

>>97278140Thoughts on Shackleton base
>>97277331>Bgg for components , rulebook for how it plays like a real boardgamerI like to see how the game looks and have a brief overview. It helps me when reading the rules - some are not that good.
>>97270384>Carnagie, Tiletum, GWT Argentina, Endless winter, Flamecraft, Libertalia 2ed, Lacrimosa, Weather machine, Mosaic, Ahoy, Encyclopedia, Cat in the boxCat in the box was very popular but I guess the onslaught of new tricktakers killed it. Also, maybe I'm misremembering but I think there was online/yt buzz about Encyclopedia being goty when it came out and that died in a week. >Bloodstones, ICE, Darwins Journey, Nucleum, Distilled, Apiary, Expeditions, Kutna Hora, Daybreak, Evacuation, The fox experiment, Septima, Arborea, Last lightNucleum is good. It's just less elegant compared to brass games. But it had some neat ideas. Really wanted Bloodstones but the rounded tile stacking on too small areas on the board killed my interest.
>>97277948It really is just pretentious nonsense for the kind of person who simultaneously can't think for themselves and the idea of reading a rulebook to understand a game is too complex for them, but also wants to feel superior by consuming le intellectual reviewer content. I genuinely pity them trying to fill the void of being nogamers by reading such drivel to try and feel superior to some kid playing monopoly and enjoying it>>97278230Bloodstones was right on my radar as something gentler to get my non wargamers more into that side, but holy crap was it just a boring uninspired game. If it wasnt for the production, it would be target shelf level forgotten generic crap
>>97278272Eh, I just had a bit of fun roasting spacefag. Personally, I don't get much out of his reviews, it's too much about how things feel and how immersive they are. Which is a legitimate approach, but not all games are designed theme first. I would argue that there are good games with little to no thematic coherence but there are little to no good games that care only about theme and immersion. Fags like spacebiff, susd and designers like wehrle beg to differ, and from their popularity it seems they might represent a bigger part of boardgames than I'd have guessed. For this audience space biff probably feels magical. They're all faggots of course, but that goes without saying. I do hate this design school of narrative first/the game is an experience and gameplay and balance are more sidenotes than primary design goals - I am in for the challenge, banter and exploring the system. I'm glad both sides exist, though. Just like space-faggot.
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>>97234702In two one shots, In one I was just female Isaac Clarke and in the other I was a psychotic elf monk.
>>97234966I've played with three different trannies and only one of them was an ok player (but still too quiet).The other two were a drama queen and a retard who constantly needed help with everything.
>>97234966Yes, we're easily the best players
>>97234966Only ones I've run games for have been consistently>overbearing about their character build even in games that don't have character builds to the point of just declaring their dnd generic race existed in the game world >didn't understand the rules very well if at all >direct to murder hobo more than anyone else, ready to perceive slight at anything irl or in game>constant references to irl media They're just what we would previously have called spergs. Tabletop games have always had them, they just have a more leveragable social excuse currently.
>>97234966I have one player in an online game I'm convinced is trans (or at least deep into the identity BS) and they're, like, fine. They pay the 2nd most attention despite being on call during the game and the fact they want to fuck everyone means they actually engage with the NPCs on some level. The bard player in my high school game that trooned out was an annoying loudmouth and only got louder after they trooned, as in literally yelling shit at the top of his lungs at random. I do not really miss playing with him at all.

>>97267726Cairn is literally just "what if I wanted to play Basic D&D but I was too retarded?". It has no qualities or advantages compared to something like Moldvay, thus can't justify its existence.
I ran Miami 86. For a Cairn hack I have to admit it handled shoot outs much better than expected. I'm not sure how much my players retained it was 80's Miami, I started worrying I was being overbearing when describing random stuff just to help the vibe. Pseudo 80's shit a la Stranger Things kinda killed a lot of things that also existed in the 80's, but that's how vintage goes. Still, I wish the system had something I can't imagine that solves that issue, it's not that it's a bad book but it's hard to run when you need everyone at the table to have a certain cultural reference point.I still have to see how well it works for longer campaigns. It has some support with NPCs and locations and generators, but I feel it's all a bit weak.
>>97276717>can't imagine why people would play more than one game>literally incapable of imagining someone using different things for different moments>calls others retardedDon't do this. I know you're trying to bait to get a bump. You can do that once or twice a thread, but if you do it a dozen times the thread is just shit and no one wants to be part of it.This general doesn't need constant posting, it needs new people checking and getting into it.Go learn from the horror or mecha generals.
>>97278104While I undersatand your suspicions, I'm sorry to have to inform you that i am 100% sincere and not bumpfagging. Mork Borg (as much as it gets memed on), Mythic Bastionland, Vaults of Vaarn, Black Sword Hack etc. are all games with a sound justification for existing, games that provide something unique of their own. You don't have to value them but the people who do have good reasons for it.Cairn is like Knave: it's just a half-finished shitbox for people who can't tolerate B/X's roughly thirty pages of rules and that's brainless and contemptible. (And Cairn 2e is like Knave 2e is that it's still just as unfinished but tries to mask that with a profusion of trash tables)

>>97278501Can you imagine someone telling himself he's superior because he knows how to google art, instead of knowing how to make actual art?As if googling was an actual skill instead of something broken to make you get the results the company wants that will be broken again and again because they can.
>>97278505>But that's not the same thing as "dms using AI to write adventures are "destroying" the hobby."An argument no one ever made. Yeah, make up random bullshit to win arguments with yourself.The point was that the flood of generic AI art hides older art. So when people look for examples they don't get module art, pulp art, or even randos; just generic slop that looks like it was made at some random point with no direct intention. You want to run Conan and players will come with art that looks just like 5e, because when they searched for stuff they got all the same stuff.
