Hidetaka Miyazaki was a Runequest player

Rogue predated Dark Souls by 30 years. They didn't even have OSR back then.

>>98248376
okay? QED

>>98248389
Why would you ever play Dark Souls when there's Rogue?
>>
>>98248274
How do you think those things are related?

NTA but why rogue when nethack?
pls make at least one (1) argument over playing DS
>>
>>98248465
Rogue is straightforward and short, something like an arcade game compared to the sprawling mess of Nethack, which of course does include the kitchen sink.
Neither seem to have much to do with Dark Souls, which is an entirely different genre, never mind any tabletop games.

>NTA but why rogue when nethack?
The same reason you would play rogue over ds.
It came first.
>>
>>98248520
>It came first
not an argument
>>98248518
an argument
>>
Why should I play poker when there is football?
>>
>>98248521
>not an argument
It is by definition. You haven't provided nearly enough context in your question to exclude any characteristic of a game as an argument. I would like to remind you that your question is "why would i play a specific flavour of a tabletop game over a specific flavour of a videogame" without any other context. Another very good argument would "be because you like rolling dice" or "because I like the names of dev team A more than dev team B".

>>98248274
Yeah you are too retarded for tabletop. Stay in vidya gaems.
>>
>>98248274
>Why even eat fried chicken when lasagna exists?
>>
>>98248274
Because the Dark Souls TTRPG isn't very good.
>>
>>98248274
>dark souls
>osr
Was the dungeon exploration anything comparable?
Tried to play through 40K mechanicus recently and the exploration was so obnoxious compared to ttrpg dungeon exploration I stopped.
>>
>>98248274
Can someone fill me in on what osr has to do with dark souls if it is the vidya?
Aesthetics and themes?
>>
>>98250355
Retards think retardedly.
>>
>>98248376
>>98248400

Rogue-like is my absolutely favorite genre of games.
>>
>>98248274
OSR is better when its a little silly, and not heavy metal cringe.
