Modern DnD boils down to just "kill whatever force is threatening the peace of the realm" and then things go back to how they were. The characters don't really do anything or contribute anything. Its like being Bruce Willis in Die Herd versus being Charlemagne. Who would be more remembered through history? Your characters need to be conquerors and builders. That's why domain level play is the only way to bring true soul to a campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOh11t952Q8
>>98146398>Bruce Willis in Die HerdThat's the one where he walks barefoot through the cow patties then takes an assault rifle to the entire farm, right?
>>98146398I just use Kevin Crawford's An Echo Resounding for domain play, and it works great.
>>98146398Domain level play is for faggots that can't let go of their characters.
>>98146540Why should they have to let go of their characters? And domain play does end eventually, when the characters die from old age, or in battle, or from plots against them. And then the characters' children can be the next group of adventurers. Or at least, the new characters can adventure in a changed realm.
>>98146593They shouldn't have to. That doesn't make it not cringe and for faggots.
>>98146608How is it cringe or for faggots? Its definitely a lot less gay than your average 5e campaign where fully half the characters are homosexuals.
>>98146617It shows that you can't let go and need everything to be some epic interconnected marvel style cinematic universe. Which is for fags. >a lot less gay than your average 5e campaign where fully half the characters are homosexuals.Stop playing with and making homo characters then.
>>98146398>Who would be more remembered through history?I'm willing to bet more people today are aware of Die Hard than Charlemagne. I'm not pleased by that thought, mind you.
>>98146486>Die herd is his german art haus phase, mostly just wandering around an empty farm with different guns looking confused. No action, lots of fog and lighting effects, long pans, inspired by a lot of Belatar stuff and Bruce's frontotemporal dementia.
>>98146398Buy an advertisement
>>98146398Name one system with good domain rulesinb4 ACKs lmao that dogshit is not good
>>98146398Are you saying violence is not the answer?
>>98147382If anything, I believe he's saying that more violence is the answer.
>>98146540>implying your character can’t die in domain level play>implying modern “dnd” “play” “players”Oy vey the chutzpah of this faygele goy
>>98146593>DM kills off your old character>For once the player is actually invested in "Muh home town burned down" since their bubbling with "I am going to track this fucker back to his house and shit in his entire family lineage" levels of seethe over a favourite character being killed.Behold, actual investment
This is a topic I'm eager to learn about but I refuse to listen to ai slop voices. That is some bare minimum production
>>98147490No one implied that. Your characters being able to die doesn't change the fact that domaintards want all their characters to be a special interconnected dynasty.
>>98146398buy an addt. didn't watch
>>98147320Not even the ACKS shills want to talk about ACKS right now, because they're scared people will tell go to kickstarter and rat them out for using undisclosed AI art in their products, so they're lying low.
>>98147831Just go tell kickstarter about it anyway unless you're scared of getting sued.
>>98147756If they have the ability to seize power, why shouldn't they?
>>98146398Why yes, I AM making a game around starting as a wretch with potential, slowly building magical might and retainer support as her domain grows from a relatively small titan skull in the slums to a dedicated castle that can launch assaults on other fortifications from a distance.If she dies before she accomplishes her goal, sure, she'll be forgotten, but a successful conquest will inspire other magical potentials across the lands to finally beat back the devils and demons who think they've won.Goes to show that one doesn't have to hinge on D&D forever and can actually make whatever they want.Just like one doesn't need to make threads on /tg/ whining about what other people need or don't need to do, or whining about why this or that thing isn't popular, or the other inane shit that gets spammed here every day.
>>98147974Not relevant.
>>98148144It is, how else would domain expansion occur?
>>98148207Just follow the posts, retard. No one cares how you play and you should play in whatever way is fun for you and your group. That doesn't make domain play not for fags.
>>98148220lmao reading retards who think >everything is personally heckin valid! still try and get people to stop liking what they don't like is god damn hilarious.
I don't want to lead armies. I can to stay as a vagabond killing monsters for money
>>98146398>your game NEEDSNah
>>98146398Use your own voice, assuming these are even your own thoughtsAlso buy an ad, faggot
>>98148231I literally said to play however you want. What do you get out of being this stupid on purpose?
>>98146398I don't play D&D. What now?
>>98146398I don't know about that. The whole impetus for Dungeons and Dragons was that Gary's players enjoyed the dungeon crawling minigame more than the domain level Chainmail campaign. With that said, I do like faction systems like SWN or Reign for producing a dynamic world.
Remember to report and hide the thread.
>>98146398>not only an AI voice but an AI scriptEven listening on 2x speed it still drones on in that dull and boring way that somehow only AI can achieve.
>>98146398>Your characters need to be conquerors and builders.Even if we were to accept the preceding points, this conclusion just doesn't follow from them. Die Hard wouldn't be a better movie if it told about politics and governance instead of a badass cop killing terrorists. Having maximum impact on a fictitious setting isn't inherently the goal of RPGs, anon. Having a fun, interesting, hopefully even memorable adventure is. Obviously taking care of whatever's threatening the peace of the realm is doing something and contributing a lot - the contribution being the continuation of said peace - so in actuality not just your conclusion but your premises are false.
>>98147831Are these ACKS shills in the room with you right now?
>>98149442That's his secret anon, the ACKshills are always in the room with him, so he gets to complain about them anywhere he goes.Because they're inside his head
>>98147955>unless you're scared of getting suedlolwathow is that even supposed to work
>>98146681More people remember Achilles than Agamemnon
>>98150910Part of the antiacks story is the author being litigational. The same anons likely do have enough against ACKS they can easily take it to kickstarter. They haven't. So their either lazy, pussies or both.
>acksfagsgg thread ruined
>>98151831Call Kickstarter, call the cops, call th FBI
>>98146398My game does have Domain play, it is called Pendragon and it starts with the players already having their own manor and, over 80ish years, they and their family gain more and more Honor, Glory, and Holdings, plus the wealth to improve these holdings into the mightiest of citadels if they so choose.
>>98151831What about the people not talking about ACKS? Can't you talk to them?
>>98151007>AgamemnonIsn't he that little orange dinosaur that breathed fire?
>>98152422That would require him to talk about games rather than bitching about drama, and therefore is haram.The 10,000 year Fatwa against ACKS can only be solved though Jihad, ect, ect, so on, so forth.
>>98152453It's just a mid game with obnoxious fans, it's not that deep.
>>98146398... you again?Again?
>>98146398Really weird way to prop-up your shitty youtube channel, faggot.Get a real job.
>>98146398>Domain play bait>Youtube link to failed channel>ACKS hiss fight 20 posts inSure is Wednesday
>OP's thread is just a shameless rehash of talking points the video he posted coversTalk about soulless.
>>98146398Imagine having such a bad voice that you'd rather use ai narration lmao
>>98152460There's plenty of mid games out there with obnoxious fans. Not many out there that have so many people excavating the Sahara with their cunts.Sorry, let me rephrase that.Not many out there that have so many "people" excavating the Sahara with their cunts.
>>98152642You talk like you spend a quarter of your day online.
>>98152758>Can't respond to what's being said so he starts throwing insults0/10, apply yourself.
>>98152758>QuarterThat's a very optimistic assumption
>>98152864I can't respond to it because I have no idea what you're even trying to say.
>>98152964It's just fishfag derailing yet another thread because some people are talking about something he doesn't like.
>>98152478How is domain play "bait"? I am genuinely convinced you guys are crypto SJWs who hate domain play for the EXACT reasons OP posted.
>>98152418>PendragonUber based
>>98152460I've heard good things about ACKS 1e. The best thing people can say about ACKS 2e is that "the author is BASED". If that's the best praise, you know it sucks.
>>98154312Remember when newfags would lurk before posting?
