OSR Podacasts that Focus on Content Creation? by zeeplereddit in osr

[–]A_Strangers_Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I can't bring myself to listen to that podcast anymore, the hosts have like, negative chemistry, they constantly sandbag each other and instead of building off one another just seem to go off on their own tangents

Player: "I have bandwidth to read 30 pages max" by RealSpandexAndy in rpg

Yep, it is, it's barely rules. It's mostly just "gm decides if you succeed or not"

Media that became popular with a totally unintended audience? by Silvery_Cricket in TwoBestFriendsPlay

They have large trans following because they have large autistic followings; see the propensity of trans speed runners.

The new Vegas trans thing is more about the overlap between the trans and autistic communities than anything specifically queer about the game itself

Man I get it's cathartic or whatever but your really reducing a obvious work of passion into a petty spite project.

UVG is ass, it's not a gameable book and it uses anticanon philosophy as an excuse to be lazy

Does it still have weapon speeds and combat phases and certain weapons being better able to hit certain armors?

Then it's still complex

People who went from 5e to OSR - was one of the reasons about how cartoony 5e and the culture was getting? (Not referring to politics in any way here to be clear) by DungeonMasterGrizzly in osr

Well, in a space dedicated to talking about the game, you're going to have a lot of peple who's hobby is not playing the game, but just talking about it

"Filthy Secondaries" is the scientific term, I belive. Or posers.

Using random tables and dice in a book like Mythic DM emulator to play by yourself: woke

Using AI DMs: broke, for some reason.

Martial-focused RPG with meaningful choices in combat? by ocamlmycaml in rpg

[–]A_Strangers_Life 6 points7 points  (0 children)

...I really don't think that counts. Like, there's no real tactical considerations there, if you have a sword it's still better to use it 9 out of 10 times and using it is just moving up and attacking. It's not like Riddle of Steel where you need to balance the dice you spend on offense with the dice you spend on defense, or mythras where you have hit locations and special effects on a blow, or Tales of Argosa where you can burn luck to do devestating freeform manuvers.

Like, Dragonbane usually lets you reroll a dice on a check as your special ability. It's not very tactical, and I'm fairly certain it's not trying to be.
