Remember that culture, tradition, fashion, self-expression>>>>>>>>>>nerdy shit like economics, geography, magic system, monsters stats ets. This is what most autists who try to copy Tolkien don't understand: without interesting NPCs who live their own lives, your Excel spreadsheet is interest to no one.
>>97903824Your shitpost threads are getting more incoherent every time you make a new one.
>>97903824>is [of] interest to no oneSo, if the way to enjoy tabletop games is to rewrite what you don't like and to fill in what is missing, why should a group, pair, or individual running things to their tastes care about what outsiders who have nothing to do with their games think?Straight answers only.
>>97903856>incoherentSad part is I completely understand what he's saying, and it is entirely pretentious (to affect a greater sense of culture, importance, or knowledge than one actually possesses).
>>97903824>implying they are not complementaryFunny, you seem exactly like the type of autist you seem to denigrate, only with a slightly different subject.
>>97903824>you actually need to care about what the soulless normies doNo thanks, I'm gonna make all my RPGs based off of my special interests
>>97903824Culture (especially material culture) is influenced by economics and geography determining what people have access to and what is/isn't valuable to them.>This is what most autists who try to copy Tolkien don't understand: without interesting NPCs who live their own lives, your Excel spreadsheet is interest to no one.I would say that you're not wrong on this point, but the key factor is having an actual story with interesting characters to convey your setting, instead of just presenting the setting itself (regardless of which bits you prioritize).Since you mentioned Tolkien, the popularity of middle earth hinged entirely upon him writing The Hobbit and LotR, rather than just publishing a design document for the setting and leaving it at that.
>>97903860They shouldn't, and OP doesn't know that, because he's either a nogames bot or nogames demoralization agent./thread
>>97903824Traditional games?
>>97903824>fashionI cannot fathom people that care about this shit. "These clothes were good enough last year, but this year they show you are clueless." What a bunch of born slaves.
>>97912361you are referring to fast fashion the concept of fashion itself, without regard to the commercialization of it, is simply making or wearing clothing that looks good
>>97912361This is modern fashion whereas before the 19th century fashion was more like a uniform to show what caste/tribe/group of people you belonged to.
