>let's make our fantasy setting just another Tolkein ripoff based on Medieval Europe except for this one completely out of place Chinese-coded character class because I love Kung Fu movies
>>3927983Ultima used to be sci-fi at first, too. It's just how nerds function - they take what they like, mash it together and try to rationalize the result afterwards.
>>3927983>let's make our fantasy setting just another Tolkein ripoff based on Medieval Europe except for this one completely out of place Chinese-coded character class because I love Kung Fu moviesYes. This was where many DnD classes came from. The monk was because they wanted a kung fu monk. The cleric was because someone wanted to play Van Helsing. Etc.
>>3927990The logic against homebrew has been horseshit from day 1, on other words
>>3927995It's not homebrew if you're the one that made the game. Go make your own game and then your homebrew will be legitimatized.

>>3927983>this one completely out of placeMake it three, samurai & ninja classes were already present in the first Wizardry.
>>3927995We are talking about the og creators, dumbfuck
>>3927983Yeah it's dumb, now you can't even have European style monks in the fantasy Europe setting because the word is being used by the kung fu guy that somehow became a sacred cow.
>>3928522>sacred cowNice Oriental inspired phrase there, Western man.
>>3927990>>3928088>some geriatric who ruined fantasy with his schlock did, therefore everyone should follow suit
>>3927983Yes, and? They also have space aliens and Highlander.
>>3928522There are already European monks in fantasy settings. They're often classed as Crusaders. Learn your history.
>>3928554Yes. We also need to being back space ships in fantasy RPGs.
>>3927983I love SaGa Frontier for just throwing everything in
>>3928595SaGa had so much potential.

>>3927983I say D&D 3.x was the only RPG system that managed to pull it off without major clashes. The additional rulebooks always had some content for classes with this theme, and the game itself was wonderfully unbalanced.There was only one strange thing about it though.It all coincided with sudden appearance of Asiatic themes in Hollywood blockbusters in the first half of 2000s. Phantom Menace, Mummy III, Pirates of the Caribbean III.ESG was officially announced in 2006, but shareholders have been clearly a thing in entertainment at that point.
>>3928594Spaceships are cool, retards who show up without weapons or armor against opponents who have them aren't.
>>3927983Yes anonbot, the truth is nobody actually wants a realistic hardcore medieval setting. That's never been the point of the fantasy genre.More importantly, given that this is a videogame board it's hard to deny they consistently satisfy a distinct gameplay niche. A melee class focused on training barehanded martial skills usually contrasts well with a melee class focused on weapon skills and equipment.
