Some of those look pretty fun. The people who make threads to whine and bitch and moan about D&D every day should try playing some of them. They might even have fun.
>>
>>98514328
Hey, a bunch of those are OSR and hence D&D.
>>
>>98514328
Actually it's fine, keep playing d&d, we don't want you.
>>
>fantasy world
They really didnt even try with that name huh?
>>
what's the argument here?
Anything you like in 5e is done better in a lot of those.
It's like posting a picture of the produce section and complaining that people tell you to stop eating Arbies, I don't get it.
>>
>>98514328
How is Arkham Horror the Roleplaying Game? I only play Arkham Horror the Card Game.
>>
>>98514328
Huh, is the Invincible RPG out? I thought it was still in pre-release form.
>>
>literally judging books by their cover
there really is nothing left on this board, is there
>>
>>98514328
I don't get it. What is wrong with that picture exactly?
>>
>>98514841
From most accounts it's pretty shit.
I got no clue why they made a whole new system instead of just making a Genesys splat personally. The big complaint seems to be the dice pool system is just an all around terrible one, the content is slim, and it's too expensive for what you get.
Considering it is going up against Call of Cthulhu in terms of setting, tone, and feel, to release a half baked product was ill advised at best. Pretty on brand for FFG though.
>>
>>98515116
Not just CoC, which has a solid audience that has been there for decades, but also Delta Green if you want more modern action or Acthung Cthulu if you want more pulp swingy adventres. And on the indie side Liminal Horror is perfectly capable of running any of their modules if you want a minimal system.

You really have to hit a home run to make a succesful Cthulu game atm

>>98514533
Omnidirectional troll. The hope is that some angry retard will see something in that huge array to crash out over.
Just to spite OP, I'd just like to say I'm having a great time prepping my next session and the anticipation of fun with my friends makes me giddy.
>>
>>98514328
Damn, it's kino
>>
>>98515084
most of those games, from Hunter V5 to Edge of the Empire, are pure and utter dogshit. Terrible, awful rules and lore
>>
>>98514436
>>
>>98515844
I really don’t agree with you, Edge of the Empire and Legend of the Five Rings are great. You’re meant to find a game that interests you and run a one-shot.
>>
>>98514328
>I don't want to play a new game that might not be good, I want to play a game I KNOW isn't good.

I'm good with what I got.
>>
>>98514861
Wtf, no one told me this shit existed
>>
>>98514328
Those games look neat, OP
>>
>>98516821
shame a bunch of them are either OSR or Forge Group adjacent.
>>
>>98516761
Sword World seems pretty cool.
>>
>>98514452
there isn't a single OSR in that image. There is some post-OSR artbooks, but those aren't based on D&D mechanically or tonally.
>>
Someone dump all the popular games that aren't flavors of 5e RIGHT NOW, and where to find groups.
>>
>>98514841
The fact that it exists at all shows how fucking stupid the executives at edge are. I'd assume that the people who play Arkham Horror and the people who play CoC form a Venn Diagram that is more or less a circle. If they wanted to make more money on the IP, they could have made branded adventures for CoC (which people will buy and they could do for free with the ORC licensing) but instead they made a waste of space game that no one plays.
>>
>>98517456
Right now I'm playing in a COC game, preparing for a Prowlers and Paragons game, and running a Mausritter game. I'm playing with friends and old coworkers, because even though I'm autistic as fuck I'm not such a miserable cunt as to not have friends.
>>
>>98517473
My friends either want to play DeltaGreen or 5e, anything else is scary. So far only boomers are willing to play anything warhammer, or ADND etc.
>>
>>98515930
>Edge of the Empire
The entire dice resolution system is pure and utter ass.
>Legend of the Five Rings
I can tell you haven't played the latest edition.
>>
>>98514328
I'll take the uhhhh 3058 tech readout, thanks mate.
>>
>>98514328
Holy slop
>>
>>98514913
Showing the contents of the books would be piracy. That would be both immoral and illegal.
>>
>>98514328
Hey edge of the empire is pretty good brother.
>>
>>98517456
Here you go >>98488734
I actually found a great group from there
>>
>>98519795
>immoral
lol
>illegal
LMAO

Nah, EotE is goated. Commit Sudoku.

The influx of unserious players in the hobby and the oversimplification of D&D is a one-way ratchet effect.

>I hate how D&D does this thing, it makes no sense and creates incentives to play a meta rather than do what would realistically make sense in the setting
"Ok, here's a few games that are even less logical, some of which don't even recognize the concept of measured distance. They also have a target audience of fans of online fanfiction who are too ADHD-afflicted to play even 5e with training wheels, rather than fans of anything which inspired D&D itself"

>I'm sorry, maybe D&D is actually good, but the newer versions are deviating from what I wanted
"Ok, play this 'OSR' game which strips out the majority of the rules from D&D, asks you to just make a ruling for anything other than moduletext or incredibly simple combat, worships tradition rather than understanding the intent of D&D's mechanics, and relies much more on art and reputation than on any of the few unique gameplay features it actually added rather than copying"

>relies much more on art and reputation
This is a TRVTH NVKE. Fucking STRIKE! says it's OSR...

Of those i'd only be enticed to play L5R. (inferior to 1E and 2E cover art tho)
It's amazing how bad, boring and ugly they manage to make the illustrations. Imagine paying for that kind of work nevermind using it to advertise.
>>
>>98520735
No edition of D&D has stopped existing. If there's one that meets your needs, play it.
>I can't get players waa
Jesus Christ I assure you that you can if you try.
>>
>>98517456
Come home, white man.
