why do storygamers act like they're superior to OSRgamers because they played an OSR game, once? every OSRgamer has played storygames.
Stop trying to force your bullshit fake dichotomy.
Post nine examples.
>>98359083The Forge the Podcast 'One Shot'the entire Apocalypse World ''''community''''/osrg/my friend Craig (who i'm no longer friends with, this isn't the only reason but it IS a major one.)
>>98359054I have never played a storygame (i.e., PBTA, FITD etc.) and I play OSR and 3.5.
>>98359054Jokes on you fag I play both since before your balls dropped.
*rips a greasy pepperoni fart down your throat*
>>98359054People with shit opinions that everyone thinks are gay and lame always turn into poseurs who act like they know something everyone else doesn't, it's the only way they can maintain their cope that the thing they like isn't unpopular because it's shit for fags but because everyone else just lacks their own refined taste and intellect.This tendency is amplified in storygamers because most of them are rampantly homosexual former theatre kids, or at least the kind of people who *wanted* to be theatre kids but were thwarted by being too much of a social reject even for those groups or living in a place where the traditional response to faggotry - beatings - still held sway.
>>98359054I see way more """osr gamers""" act like they're superior because they backed ACKS and shill
>>98359483It's kind of impressive just how unpleasant those guys are. It's a real shame they got banned from Reddit and now we're stuck with having to deal with their remnants here.
>>98359054>OSR: You shouldn't roll dice very often and the GM should make rulings on how to resolve things based on the internal logic of the game. Also be a huge faggot, but pretend you aren't.>Story games: You shouldn't roll dice very often and the GM should make rulings on how to resolve things based on the internal logic of the game. Also be a huge faggot and let everyone know it.
>>98359483>>98359556Answer the question "storygamer tourist."I swear, you proved OP's point right now.
>>98362253I don't play story games *or* osr, I'm just saying that, around here, I almost never see anyone act like they are super hot shit because they ran a game in fate or apocalypse world, but I do routinely see people who think that they've uncovered the rosetta stone because they run ACKS or some other variation of old d&d.
>>98362253probably because d&d is the supreme game and oSr had correctly identified that it was the greatest of all timeacks is just another attempt at following gygax climax for the quest for more money
>>98362298*Point goes right over your head.*Dude, you have people act like their game is the next D&D. Or hate a game so much, anyone talking about it is attacked for no reason. (Like ACKS.) Yet act like they're not like the (other) hipsters.
>>98362343You sound like a tourist. I mean which D&D? B/X, BECMI, 3.5, 4e, 5e, 5.5, etc?
>>98359054>why do storygamers act like they're superior to OSRgamersI have literally never seen this before Nine times outta ten it's the other way around
>>98362619Well, most of the time the "storygamer" tend to be stay in their bluesky and reddit. They try to pop up here, however most of the time we smack them back to their shit sites before they cause too much trouble. Even if they have people on the inside covering their ass. Hints why cry when any game, site, etc doesn't bend the knee and let them decide everything is toxic and problematic. However, you never heard that shit till they came around. Almost like they're the fucking toxic fans. But they pull every victim card they have to cry racism, sexism, etc. Cause they can't be a problem only a straight white man can be.... (In their eyes.)
>>98362629I don't know, I see people crying about strangers playing 5e and not true D&D all the time here. They are over-represented because they also hunt down people who disagree with them, which doesn't make them less toxic, but you can't pretend they are not huge whiners when that's most non general posts here.
>>98362651Oh, you get the "3.5 or bust" or "BX is the only true D&D" people here and yes they do "hunt down people." Just here they often go after woke fags. Both are annoying fucks not going to lie. Just the woke are worse cause they can't do it on their own. They have to take over HR and abuse their power by canceling anyone that doesn't agree with their latest bullshit 100%. Look at the Harry Potter creator. They try to make her their Tolkien and Howard, then she said "Men can't be Women." Now she a Nazi or murdering trans kids or something. She agrees with like 99% of their dumb shit but just doesn't agree a man in a dress is a woman. Now she hated more than "the failed artist from WWII."
>>98362629You guys love using this as a proxy for culture war stuff
>>98359483True
>>98362367>No! The only bad ones are people who talk about [game I don't like]! The people who talk about [game I like] are all cool and rad, actually!K
>>98359162Fuckin' Craig thinking he's too good for your neo-retro game.
Its amusing to me none of you fags remember the Vincent Baker wrote for Lamentations of the Flame Princess and was in Fight On! or the Beyond the Wall exists and has been well liked by everyone. The entire osr vs storygames thing was Zak being a cunt and needing a scapegoat in the earlier stages of his cult. No one else cared, he just was loud and shitty about it to the extent it created an entire following raised on memes.
>>98362629for me it's Something Awful's weird existence that "proper" RPGs are either like Dogs in the Vineyard or PbtA, D&D is old-fashioned and OSR is too game-y and/or "problematic"...but then they fucking *love* D&D 4E, for some reason.
>>98359162uhhh, I don’t think that’s nine.
>>98362778Right, cause ignoring the problem has work out so well so far. We should just let them claim it's for diversity even though diversity just means anti-white men now. (Remember you can add other races in a white historical story no problem. However it's racist if you add other races in a non-white history story.)Fuck off with that shit.
>>98359483>>98359556>reee ACKSlmao, imagine being this assravaged over a game existing, just because you think it's "for chuds"
>>98359054>Posting memes about 2000's hipsters in 2026God, we Millennials are turning into the new Boomers, aren't we?
>>98368176No one is mad over a game existing, I'm annoyed by people spamming and brigading and acting like their b/x with a shitload of house rules is somehow a revolutionary giant leap forward in rpg technology. If you could limit your discussion to relevant threads and not act like a fucking schizo, no one would give a shit.
>>98370074>I'm annoyed by people spamming and brigading and acting like their b/x with a shitload of house rules is somehow a revolutionary giant leap forward in rpg technologyOkay, but nobody does this except in one thread to fuck with one faggot troll, so you should be golden, then? What are you complaining about if that's your only beef? Nobody even brought up ACKS in this thread before this bitch nigga >>98359483 decided to screech about it out of nowhere.
>>98370648>pointing out that nobody's spamming or brigading ACKS is tantamount to spamming and brigading ACKSlmao okay pal
>>98370666I shouldn't be surprised that you're unable to keep up with a text conversation on a message board. For loving a book with so many pages, you sure are bad at reading.
it kinda sucks that top text bottom text went out of style i like the formati also miss demotivationals
>>98362370It's all D&D and it's all doing roughly the same thing mechanically. Even old D&D was way heavier on the narrative and storytelling than OSR nerds are willing to admit (if they're even aware and aren't literal zoomers who weren't even alive in the AD&D era).So yeah, it literally doesn't matter. OSR is in no way better than 5e. It's just full of elitists who think they're better because they've "rediscovered" a playstyle that even Gygax moved past pretty much immediately. >>98362629>>98367947Your delusional beef is completely one-sided. Woke 5e players don't complain about chud OSR players. They don't think about that at all. Do you know why Shadowdark is successful? It's because the woke 5e players were told "this is an old-school, gritty D&D" and instead of thinking "eww, that's for chuds" like you fantasize about they thought "oh that's neat, let's try this out."They literally don't even know you exist.
>>98371799I'm a woke former 5e player and dodged shadowdark because "eww, that's for chuds"
>>98371823I figuratively don't believe you.
I don't understand OSR autism. Just play a war game nigga.
>>98359483It's really ironic because you'd have to be a retard to like acks.
>>98371829Genuinely. I don't touch anything with OSR on the tin, because eww chuds. IMO the only reason to play OSR is for chud vibes since minimalist rulesets have been around forever and more are made daily. You play risus if you actually want bare minimum rules and OSR if you like arguing about "freakshit"Though I also just don't like the general conceit of looter horror puzzlefighter that OSR revolves around. Treating toons like extensions of the IRL player pisses me off
>>98371960i complain about freakshit. they aren't real people, they're fairytale races.>toonsuh, what. anyway, that's how all characters work, in any game. you're doing MORE of that if you're talking in a voice, prosaically acting out 'scenss' and shit, no?
