Something you've decided to make yet another bait thread about because you're pathetically desperate for attention.
I don't really care what it's supposed to be or what you think it is.Here, from now on, it's gonna mean big-breasted succubi making things more comfortable. Cozy plus fantasy, done.
>>97549196Romantic pastorialism. Rich anglo kids are all about that shit because they've never had to go outside and do things.
>>97549374>Rich anglo kids>he thinks this is just an Anglo thing
>>97549196Which of those two words are you struggling with?
>>97549374You mean rich victorians>seething at people you don't like from the 1800's
>>97549263Nice tits
>>97549196Well, fantasy is the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable, so I'd imagine "cozy fantasy" is such a work attempting to evoke coziness through its medium.In the context of a tabletop game, it would have to satisfy both those conditions, while still maintaining a consistent structure of rules to challenge player skill and/or luck.
>>97549196in a general sense: slice of life, wish-fulfillment, mild challenge without much risk (the main challenge is just "showing up"), exploration of successin a specific sense, it's usually middle fantasy pastoralism, which feeds the slice of life and "showing up" stuff. You win battles against things that can be defeated by not procrastinating: things like weeding, checking in on people, making sure fences are repaired. You attend whatever festival and get praised for being a good personfull disclosure i'm not opposed to any of thisalso that's famously bad arti've been trying to find some official art that was in a dnd 3.5e book and it was a tiefling mage i think and her arm was horrifically foreshortened and it looked like a twisted little deformed limb pls post this
>>97549196It is either comfy rural fantasy with cottagecore and romanticized farming, or urban fantasy where everything is fantasy East Coast USA.
>>97549731>East coast USA>comfyYou must be joking.
>>97549731>>97549757Yeah east coast is more that grimy osr fantasy feel
>>97549681nvm found ithm its bad but not quite as bad as i remembered

>>97549938You really thought posting this would give you the moral high ground.
>>97549811That never seems intended, is the thing

>>97549967Are you some kind of nazi who hates quaint and humble games? That's so fucked up.
>>97549374Fuck, I didn't know I was rich. Are you saying Elon Musk also shits in a ditch?
>>97550199Yeah. Tolkien, too, famously shitted in ditches. Although he probably doesn't count because he was in the trenches at one point. Would be pretty weird if he wrote any cozy pastoral fantasy into his works.

>>97549196A world where humans are the shortest of the core races.
>>97549999The "children" are 30 year old women from Tumblr.
>>97549374It's called bucolicism and it was massively popular in France, Italy and the United States, not just England.
>>97549196sub genre if fantasy where a person who grew up on tumblr writes a romance novel about an elf falling in love with a half orc and they open a sho selling lightly enchanted tea and coffee
>>97549374Hey anon. It's comfy idyllic and cool!
>>97549196Cozy fantasy is what happens when you have your brain chemistry permanently altered at a young age by the Elysium scene in Gladiator
>>97549196This stuff. Fantasy/D&D trope world but it's about low stakes stuff like running a coffee shop.
>>97552906also idyllic jailbait
Fuck off back to your own slums, fuckee.
>>97552906>>97553315peasants are cringe and NOT cozy
>>97550628Only externally
>>97549196The real question is: why you care about things you don't play yourself?
>>97549880What the actual fuck is this perspective
>>97553311This book looks gay as hell.I should read it.
>>97549374>Life is getting more unequal>Not only are the conditions you live in getting worse over time, you can see others having it better and better. Those in power are stealing everything.>Some people react by wishing the elites dead. They may have fanciful ideas of who deserves the guillotine or indiscriminately desire carnage.>Others pick some arbitrary group of their equals or lessers and decide they'd like to pillage them (or imagine they are being pillaged and want revenge, whatever).>A few simply want a world where only the sky is above them, where the sweat of their brow earns them a genuinely rewarding life, and where they have both freedom and moral certitude.These last ones are the audience for cosy fantasy.
>>97549757>Martha's Vineyard>not comfortableThink less shit town you grew up in, or where actual people live and more yuppie new england tourist locations for rich fags.
>>97549196It's slice of life cottagecore 360 no stakes but with fairies, dragons and better threads than this one kind of fantasy.
>>97549999>can't fathom the idea of roleplaying a festivalWhy can't these grifter accounts actually play a game for once?My playgroup did a festival where each one of us ran their own attraction (fighters showing off in a mock fight, bard doing a musical performance etc.) and it turned into one of the most memorable moments of the campaign. If someone wants to play a full campaign of just that and the whole table vibes with it, good for them.
>>97549263Work on it.
>>97550221You didn't read Appendix 74 to LotR where he details ditches and hobbits' ancient habits of shitting thereof?
Cozy folks want games that won''t challenger their woke world viewthey want nothing traumatic to happen to their characters many cozy tabletop games often don't have death mechanicwon't misgender then or use the wrong pronouns.they want to escape to the worlds they think they saw on tv in their childhoods, shaped by their constant editing of their memories to absolve them of responsibilitiesnot my kind of game
>>97555894Why are peasants cringe?
>>97561457>Think less shit town you grew up inTell me how it isn't on the east coast USA.Go on.
>>97564036The Shire in LOTR is cozy though. That's like baseline fantasy.
>>97564660would LOTR be LOTR if they stayed in The Shire for 3 books?
>>97561457>opinion of a literal touristDiscarded.
