don't care about impracticability
don't care about realism
don't care about feasibility
don't care about highly autistic internally consistent character motivations

Is it cool?
yes = i include it

Is it uncool?
no = who cares
>>
define cool

>>97361131
Okay. I agree, but I also find lack of internal consistency uncool.
>>
>>97361137
cool = i like it; it provokes something. if not thought then emotion
>>
>>97361131
I care a bit about those things because understanding the world and how things in it interact helps players make informed decisions. Those things are useful so far as they aid understandability.

>yes = i include it
Yeah okay, but how will you include it?
Because it's actually even more boring and lame if you just state that female characters dress in skimpy armor, while on their sheet it says full plate, with all the bonuses to defenses associated with it.

At least to me, the proper creative and mechanically interesting way is to have skimpy armor and "proper" armor existing in the world AND system side-by-side, both with their own advantages and disadvantages. Things inside the world become more tangible once they are also mechanically represented.

>w-well their armor is e-enchanted and...
BORING ASS ASSPULL BULLSHIT

I mean what these faggots never answer is, if you can have cripples, trannies and women on the battlefield, or combat wheelchairs, what's wrong with women in bikini armor?
Rules for thee and not for me.

Who is even going to take a game seriously if even the guy who made the game thinks the whole thing is a fucking lolsorandumb joke.

>>97361247
I have both. Problem?

The person who is engaged.

I don't care about muh soggy knees, I just find it dumb and not that sexy. If you want them to be fanservicey, just to do cloth/leather/gowns/body hugging leather, or make them fight nude. This stuff just comes off as a dumb sacred cow compromise that isn't actually needed because clearly the entire invention of chain/plate bikinis was just there to pretend at the tiniest bit of legitimacy.
>>
>>97361330
nope thats not it
>>
>>97361131
but real armor is cool
>>
>>97361131

Sorry anon, but this aesthetic doesn't fit the setting we are playing right now.

>>97361267
Nothing he said is lolsorandumb. "Cool = Win" IS a consistent structure you can build around.
