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

lmaooooooo so your problem is NO ONE IS WILLING TO RUN NON-DND GAMES???
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

πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€

this one's mostly for @DarkestKale
this image seriously pisses me off lol

shot

chaser

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 just think it's really funny how youtube groups every kind of rpg play as npcs
the actual op is not interesting but this bit

"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
what about imperial us and russia working together
holy shit it's piper wright lol
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

originals lost rip
shitty eye day so obviously gonna be reading new rpgs
quebec made out real well in shadowrun anarchy huh xD
not fun to you, maybe, but you let that bigotry keep going on in your store
if you want their excuse
it's that time of the year
what lol

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"
only half?

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?

YouTube
from the creators of "no, actually way more people actually play pathfinder/coc and they will beat wotc 20xx-2026" comes the new-old sour grapes argument
i also wanna point out the link's estimates for non-wotc are inane crap lmao

if you try and google paizo's revenue the ai overview... just references this article lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo

grips intelligence is wildly piss on the wall ai firm. they have a 2 year old youtube channel with 12 subs

it's not a weird phenomenon online rpg fans are hostile as fuck

as a group outside of dnd you're noticeably, significantly more bigoted and hostile to any idea that doesn't dovetail with your Chosen System

this reminds me of the time i was trying to introduce a friend to magic then she went to the sub and of course one of the many neckbeard anti-women blowups was happening and she took one look at that shit and noped out

honestly probably the biggest thing that kept me in ttrpgs early on was traveller 1e and playing solo

otherwise i probably woulda wrapped up my 5e campaign and just went "alirght" and gone back to playing doom or something

Praise makes me cringe more than insults I can relate

lol fuck that guy

"PSA: AI is not a reliable rules reference for RPGs"

just figuring this out, are ya

hilariously, of course, this is compounded by the fact that actual humans just go onto places like reddit and lie about playing rpgs and knowing the rules, just shotgunning bullshit out there that chatgpt then just scrapes and misunderstands further for The Worst Game Of Telephone

gonna try and tie up my cyberpunk red campaign

i said i canceled my ongoing campaigns but seems like everyone got their shit together and we can go out with a bang

wrapping up a campaign on a rainy day is just pure efficiency πŸ‘πŸΌ

holy shit an android doctor called dr. vibe check is so smart

SO SMART

lol

"Games That Feature NO Damage Rolls?"

every rpg if you just use average damage

@worthlessbums This is the surprising advantage of Ashes. I mean, I like the game better anyway, but they've done a really good job IME of making the community non-toxic.
@DarkestKale @worthlessbums (v1) Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixburn (v2) Ashes Reborn: Return of the Phoenixborn (largely compatible, basically an upgrade pack) and there's a new v3 coming out shortly, but it's compatible with the v2 cards. If I were playing competitively it would be the pay to win thing, but I'm not, I get together with mates and we build decks out of the cards I have.
I got into v1 when it stopped being "officially supported" and the packs were being sold off cheap. v2 has just stopped being officially supported so I plan to buy that stuff cheap too…
@worthlessbums Now now, probably only two of those subs are their mother.

@worthlessbums whether or not opening a restaurant will be a sustainable career that talented people choose to pursue is a meaningless data point for me, a connoisseur of small family restaurants

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

@worthlessbums pretty sure I've read some of your shit if that's the case.

You gotta watch the flashlight fetishism, it's creeping in ;)

@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:
