>create a system>it's good>but have a huge ego and expect the system to become popular through word of mouth>do 0 PR for the system>do Pikachu face when the system tanksLiterally the story of every new indie system in the last 20 years. What's wrong with people in this industry? Does this industry only attract retards or what? It seems that way because only DND has created an official online service, while the rest believe that Internet is something secondary in the 21st century.
>>97829598I thought there was another one, but only kept finding the hellfire club thing. Still, that's 3 years after the first season, and then 7 more after that, while they were actively releasing the new not-a-new-edition version of D&D, no less.Also forgot about Baldur's Gate 3, which was so massively successful that it made people who exclusively play 5e stop and think>wait, why the fuck is the RPG this vidya is based on such much fucking worse than the vidya?You'd expect them to do some brand synergy, right? Like a campaign setting guide for Faerun like they intended to do towards the launch of 5e? Or maybe a tabletop-ified version of the BG3 adventure with maps and NPC statblocks, and so on. Nope. They made some minis for their dead on arrival VTT service. And then did nothing as BG3 gobbled up all the awards and told everyone how much they hate working with Hasbro and WotC upper management.
>>97829958Yeah, d&d is basically a zombie brand, now, after the ogl shit everyone was either fired or quit. They also didn't do anything for the 50th anniversary, and their "2024" edition wasn't fully released until 2025.
>>97830473>They also didn't do anything for the 50th anniversaryI recall them doing WORSE than nothing by releasing a book about its history that shat on the franchise's origins for being racist in the literal first page.
OP is a faggot as usual, but this is a genuine question: where the fuck is an indie RPG creator supposed to advertise at all?
>>97838501Podcasts. Tons of people listen to stuff like the one shot podcast and they seem pretty willing to signal boost smaller creators. It also helps if you do your own media thing (podcast, YouTube, etc.).
Pigheaded Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/They used to be split between the website and the discord, but no more.

>>97837644No, it isn't. Not even a little bit.
>>97837598There are better ways to go about using AI this way. You went head on with zero research using the lowest common denominator tools to achieve it and you're somehow surprised you had terrible results. Instruct LLMs are terrible at creative endeavors, and AI doesn't have unlimited context memory, so you can't just keep going forever expecting full cognizance of the entirety of your campaign. You're going to have to work with back-end APIs at the very least if you want to have a remote chance at being successful at this.

Hey /tg/ I have a problem. One of my players is a genuine incel. He's 27 and I'm pretty sure he's never had sex. He definitely hasn't gotten laid in a while. He's not really ugly just kinda weird and awkward. I feel bad for him. But he is taking his extreme thirst out in the game. >every time his character, a human eldritch knight, comes back from our adventures he always tries to play up the angle of "we saved the town, where are the girls to suck my dick as thanks?">he constantly talks about how his character is 6 foot 2 (he's 5 foot 8 irl)>he talks out of his ass a lot about medieval times and says that peasant girls were way healthier than modern women.>says how farmers would be begging to marry their lithe 17 year old daughters to him>he talks about medieval demographics and criticizes the DMa works building (which is actually kinda shit to be fair) >you can just tell how excited he is talking about how there should be a dozen villages between these two cities on the map, like he is stopping just short of talking about how many nubile virgin farm girls are there for his fighter to fuckWe tried talking to him about it but he twisted it around to make the rest of us sound like we were fucking gay or something. Also his character is too important to the story to kick him, and running him as an NPC would suck the fun out of it since there's be a lot of the DM just roleplaying with himself while the rest of us watch. So....any advice? Its not worth ruining the game over by kicking him, and nothing is so blatant to be a clear social violation, but the dude is just oozing incel energy and I feel like I should subtly suggest to the DM something that will set his head on straight, and possibly help cure his mindset. Any ideas?
>>97833928Bait used to be believable

>>97832971>No biological woman has any genuine sexual interest in any man.Uh huh. So, how many times have you had to replace a fleshlight? Be honest.

Not only is Yelmalio proven to get his ass beaten constantly in his own stinkin myths, he is portrayed as a proven enemy of the Storm Tribe afterwards.

>>97834047If anything, that game did a fuckload of damage, being barely functional mess
>>97834410Honestly even if he was his favorite, There are already Praxian Yelmalians and Esrolian ones out there. Why does a prominent local cult have to suffer for an obvious foreigner cult ? Humakt is seen as a foreigner since he kut his kinship ties but is still a proper orlanthi god. I don't see why Yelmalio couldn't be written the same way.( in Sartar at the very least)
Give me a rundown because I keep hearing people complaining about two gods being the same in the new edition but apparently they weren't for decadesI don't feel embarrassed for asking because glorantha lore is fucking dense and hard to find in one single place
