Worthless Bumsis it heavy simulationist? sure
you can also do shit like... parry attacks that already missed to try and game the system for special effects in combat 🤷🏼
i can't believe this delta green/marvel campaign is still going. they keep getting saved by strings of incredible rolls
oh well *dumps more trauma on them*
when a pc only has like 20% in a skill but keeps rolling 11 i can only draw so many conclusions about what the dice want
i bet psychotherapy in the 40s wasn't very good
it's just shellshock, take some lsd you'll be fine
rpgs: "forcing" me to read into historical forward treatments from different militaries
ironic that vibranium would be a very bad material to make a vibrator out of
i've developed a stereotype in a lot of my war campaigns where someone eventually turns into some sort of morale boosting singer or performer or radio jockey
someone asked for a post-cyberpunk, hopeful, "not sticking it to the man" rpg and someone suggested eclipse phase
then people started arguing over whether trek was space opera or not
belongs in this thread
i can't believe no one has made a d10 that is satisfying to roll, to at least make percentile games feel better
i like how with duckduck go if you search for heavier percentile dice the first hit you get is an absolutely unhinged take on rolling percentile dice such that 00 and 0 should be 10
"I firmly believe that GM burnout is a system problem."
revoking your posting privileges
just thinking how if the american pcs that got warped back to ww2 had come from 2026 they would have to quietly explain "look haha in about 86 years from now..."
i don't even know what to say to my nephew and niece
i dunno what my sister is telling them
the op was vague in the original post but of course everyone assumed "oh it's those silly dnd players who never want to play anything else!"
are you ready for...
crab wars
🦀🦀🦀
i know it's really easy to be like "well obviously they wouldn't do that"
but i gotta say, aside from the fact i have no idea what you said in your session 0 apart from what you posted...
a lot of you have pieces of shit for friends, so. maybe you all have too many "no politics" rules floating around
there is just no way your buddies trying to enslave your wife was the first red flag
they did fucked up shit and you let it slide because you weren't the target
a lot of horror stories are like "and then they did X! then Y! then Z!"
and comments will be like "... why are you still playing with them after X?"
this OP just didn't find X or Y problematic
you see this in all the maga/qanon batfuckery as well
people will post things like "my sweet aunt jessica would never!"
and then comments slowly unravel all the fuckery aunt jessica did that op and family let slide for decades
yeah. that's how you let that shit metastasize
i mean, i do like drugs
i just think it's really funny how youtube groups every kind of rpg play as npcs
"I’ve seen a lot of people reviewing Draw Steel commenting that they love the combat but once combat is over, they don’t feel the system is engaging. But almost no one seems to expound on exactly why they feel that way."
bruh i can't even see ds people telling me what's so great about ds combat
"At the end of the day, roleplay at my tables is generally entirely nonreliant on rules absent occasional skill checks (which Draw Steel has)."
i just wanna say, imagine if someone said this about combat xD
if you ever just roll GUNSKILL without a fucking grid or ranging or XdY damage and armor pen etc etc etc obviously you are an rog peasant
"oooooo sorry, you're 51 meters away, you can't use persuade"
clocks aren't... generally an explicit... roleplay... mechanic...
"Why Don't Factions Just Throw Chaos Artifacts into a Sun, Gas Giant Planet, or a Black Hole?"
because space magic
"Yeah, using logic for any Warp creatures is already a flawed logic on itself. It's like those questions where they asked "why a Primarch looked like the people of the planets they landed on?" the answer is simple, Warp bullshitery."
i think the actual answer is sci-fi writers love ethnostates
oh free league links directly to start playing for (some?) of their games now? neat
pirates of the fistula
there's a green box and black box version i dunno what's what but the black box looks way better (below is green box version)
the black box version is actually on dtr, how did i never see this
dtr why does your search suck so bad
shitty eye day so obviously gonna be reading new rpgs
all my (non-solo) campaigns have been sidelined
probably not a good sign for all of our mental health
there's nothing stopping you from just using your own face as a portrait and then pointing at it and saying, "imma orc"
if someone made d10s that were actually good to roll i might be persuaded that percentile is better than 2d6 tbh
but that day has not yet arrived. also no percentile games actually make good use of All The Granularity
d12s are also pretty bad
i dunno why some d6 enthusiasts like their specialiszed doubled-up d12s that are d6s
that said i've only ever rolled those light plastic d12s that come in dice sets
theoretically maybe a bigger/heavier d12 would roll way better
"none of you start with hats"
brutal start to this western rpg lol
i know i'm an outlier in the rpg community because i've made five million urban fantasy campaigns and no one has gotten railed by a werewolf
craddled
vomitted
spell check:
it took them a session and a half to get their hats back
How do typos get in books?
Kale @worthlessbums
Bums: I don't write (shifter) smut
Also Bums: Kale, stop sending me (shifter) smut
Boringggg
@worthlessbums hrm.
Or is it just that you are being VERY specific with 'no werewolf smut (yet)'?
What about Bastets? Catgirls? Hrmmmmmmm
@DarkestKale i secretly side hustle as a furry fanfic author
Brian Jeffears@worthlessbums :imagines Operation Darkness shenanigans where Bums has werewolves doing ultra high altitude aerial drops while wielding fuck off enormous sniper rifles, as one does:
Machine Lord Zero@worthlessbums it's usually like, 1d10 with a shitty moustache
@worthlessbums yeah it was a misogynistic and racist space, though. yada yada "nazi bar"
@MachineLordZero just a wild level of telling on yourself
