Now the dust has settled… what is the consensus on the creator of Lamentations of the Flame Princess? Why does he feature art of redheads getting tortured or murdered when his ex was a redhead?
>>98284179Also, are the books for Lamentations worth the price tag?
>>98284179>what is the consensus on the creator of Lamentations of the Flame Princess?cringe even if the sexual assault allegations were exaggerated (unlikely)>Why does he feature art of redheads getting tortured or murdered when his ex was a redhead?Made him horny and sated his revenge boner
>>98284179I don't like Lamentations much, but he seems like he's making a living doing something he loves and enjoys, so that's goid for him.
>>98284179Poop/Fard
>>98284190Are you thinking of Zak Smith instead? He made Vornheim
>>98284179Yippeeee another e-celeb thread! I sure hate talking about games on traditional games!
>>98284323Wow, it's another post where an anon's trying to fit in my aping things he's seen others say without trying to understand why others say those things. Hating on threads about random YouTubers is fine, but trying to claim that actual game developers aren't relevant to games is pretty wild.
>>98284179Why are you concerned with people you have never met and will never interact with? Are you a woman or a crazy person?
>>98284190>cringe even if the sexual assault allegations were exaggerated (unlikely)There are none. He's never been accused of _anything_. Are you just assuming shit now?
>>98284348Game developers as people are absolutely NOT relevant here, only their creations are. You just want to gossip like a girl.
>>98284348>I don't play games but I want to post celebrity drama on teegeeThis is what you sound like you bitch ass shill.
>>98284348>that actual game developers"What if I copied a game, but then made it super cringe?" hardly qualifies him as a game developer.
>>98284179The creator of a TTRPG has no effect on how that TTRPG may be used.
>>98284189Not at all.You shouldn't pay for any books, digital or physical.
>>98284179>Why does he feature art of redheads getting tortured or murdered when his ex was a redhead?Because redheads getting tortured is kino. My wife never looks more beautiful than after I've laid into her with a belt or a switch. The tear tracks running down her cheeks, her hair plastered against her chest with sweat, the welts and bruises blooming across her back, the gleaming flecks of red where the skin has broken. God I love her.
>>98284521Then that means Wizards of the Coast aren't game developers.
>>98284179>Whoah, this looks interesting, a horror RPG set in 1600's Europe!>Open book, inside is an AD&D retroclone with elves, chainmail, etcFeels very bait and switch.
He's a strange man, but I do not hate him. His vlog about going to a local metal show and feeling completely alienated from what he regarded as his scene was quite sad.
>>98284179Raggi is great. I don't care for the gratuitous sexuality in some of his own work, but he is an excellent curator, extremely generous to the authors, and deeply self-aware in a way that I find charming. Also, he is a necessary part of the TTRPG ecology, the only publisher working on trying to get out into the more unexplored stretches of horror gaming and not the gonzo/'epic bacon revival' stuff like Morkborg or worse, Shadowdark, which I found profoundly vanilla despite its marketing. I wish we had more people like him but my understanding is he basically is able to do all of this because of the generosity of the Finnish welfare state.
>>98284179He's pretty alright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4SDHS9el0UOldcore metal and d&d nerd of the fat, awkward but earnest variety we see too little off compared to goonfaced shills. Publishes a lot of things, I don't even like most of them, but some of them have been great. LotFP made the art hause osr scene and encouraged a lot of interesting writers, scene and everything that's gotten much broader and watered down by now, so there's that for good or ill. Got False patrick's Veins of the Earth made, a b/x ruleset that's quite functional and made retroclones hip aka why we have OSE and Shadowdark the way we do. Worked with Zak, who is a narcissistic idiot who shot himself in the dick in public repeatedly until other sneakier narcissists also shot him in the dick for fun and profit. The most listenable and least retarded of the mid-era osr shock jocks, largely because his angle is make cool books instead of whatever flavour of /pol/ bullshit. >>98284189lol not that great though, its funny having bought that when it came out.
>>98284179Has the occasional good opinion, but more often than not, makes stupid decisions.
>>98285106Perhaps the same could be said of all men.
>>98284179what dust?
>>98284348the name of the board isn't "things relevant to traditional games", it's "traditional games". hope this helps RETARD
>>98284565you're so close to getting it lol
>>98284179His only "crime" was taking a photo with Jordan Peterson (well before that dude went fully rightoid grift) and being associated with Zak S.Raggi rocks. Hes a fat metal nerd who pays his writers and artists incredibly well for an independent publisher. All of the releases are physically high quality. He refuses to just put out "more fantasy B/X" when it comes to adventures, because there are 5 million B/X clones already doing that.And its funny that people think its sexist women are being mutilated in the LotFP images when they are also the only "heroes" in the images.
>>98285318So do you just repost direct quotes from the rulebook and that's it?
>>98284179>Loyal friend>Puts out a product he believes in, isn't chasing commerical fads>Pays his contractors well>As far as I know, no one who has worked for or with him has anything bad to say about him.I don't like his game, but I'm glad there are people like him in the industry, making the shit they want to make.
>>98284179Who?
>>98285562
>Now the dust has settledFuck that, where's the book ragu?
I really hate the "fat metalhead guy into trpgs" type of man that raggi belongs to. puts my teeth on edge. normal metaheads are ok and fat nerds into ttrpgs are alright but when you combine the two together it's cringe inducing
>>98284348its just a hard tard trying to crash the board so he can post his AI slop everywhere
>>98285340>and being associated with Zak S.He only even started doing that more publicly and having Zak on his youtube channel after Zak won several defamation cases and most of the people who led the witchhunt against Zak shriveled up into total irrelevance and no longer had the power to rally tons of strangers to make up accusations against Zak.
>>98287613He's been pretty vocal about his support of Zak since the beginning, as much as he's vocal about anything.
strange dude IRL. i know 'weird' is his whole brand, but he's just...standoffish? Patrick Stuart talks like he has actual schizophrenia, and he's the normal one when they do booths together.
>>98284849It's basic/expert, and mostly he wanted to wrote and publish adventures.
>>98284179Terrible judge of character, but he actually paid writers and artists fair rates.
>>98285562>>98287880Too many whos, needs a what?
>>98284179The fuck is wrong with his eyes?
>>98284179immature autismo but actually pays writers and artists a decent rate and his products have effort putin them and are distinct from the rest of the market
