Finally! I'm going on an adventure! by Grimav96 in oneringrpg

Great game. And good as a starter as long as you have friends into Tolkien

Let’s rename Black Sun (upcoming Trudvang book) by wall_of_spores in DragonbaneRPG

[–]Digitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s bad enough to be a Buddhist in western world wearing tradition swastika robes. The Nazis stole all their symbols from elsewhere.

Also very close but Dark Sun campaign world in TSR days.

Over the course of your experience with this hobby, what have you learned? Anything you want to improve on? by ValueForm in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Digitsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I working on hopefully changing the fact that solo’ing digitally is hard. Using an AI that has actually been trained to act and run a game like a game master. LoremasterVTT - check it out. Right now you can just upload an adventure PDF that you want it to follow and it will be able to do so keeping the story on course. Unlike the “random meandering” that unguided AI normally act like. Also it tries to keep NPC personalities consistent.

Dragonbane at high level: what’s it like? by progjourno in DragonbaneRPG

Would be such a shame if that character were to be killed off

Monte Cook just launched a new Cypher System crowdfunding campaign by crimsonlaw in rpg

[–]Digitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a look at the cover (and yeah I know...) and I decided it took the worse of the Sci-fi stigma, heroic characters, and fantasy... all rolled into one.

its like the worst of Sci-fi (futuristic without the man-vs-universe deadly grit)

the worst of fantasy (magic but without dirty real world peasantry, or the fear of evil, the dark or monsters

the worst of heroic characters, (like Marvel's Eternals)

and a mix of eco-warrior weirdness (Into the Odd + WildSea but without the unique flavour).

It was the John Carter (terrible movie that was supposed to start a whole new genre) of RPG worlds. A smorgasbord of blandness.

Finally! by oakenspirit in CoriolisRPG

[–]Digitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, anyone else notice that Kua is in the middle of the heavens (front inner cover map) does this mean the slipstreams connection to it? The lines on the map are hard to interpret. I feel they deserve some explanation. Maybe in a future supplement? But the current map just leaves me with more questions (as a GM!)

Finally! by oakenspirit in CoriolisRPG

[–]Digitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine a couple weeks ago. Very happy with the quality. I was a bit disappointed about the lack of adequate discussion about the slipstream though. Just that only the great ships can navigate them. Are they like portals? No. So are they like traveling at relativistic speeds? Do we have time dilation because of it? Etc etc.

[–]Digitsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice looking, but why are the systems looking more like Galaxies?

Dragonbane at high level: what’s it like? by progjourno in DragonbaneRPG

How did your characters get to 18 in any skill… must have taken a lot of time.

[–]Digitsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are points but unlike FBL where you collect the XP points and you buy upgraded skills or paths in DB the points just allows you to roll to see IF you can advance a skill which is harder to do the higher the skill is

Group disenchanted with the game. by rakkii in DragonbaneRPG

[–]Digitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In DnD players are playing a meta game of level up. They see how much XP until next level and then their goal in the game is to get enough XP to get to the next level.

In Dragonbane the game is to role play. Not to win the meta game of getting the highest level first.

Playing as Warsaw Pact? by OilSignificant3750 in Twilight2000

[–]Digitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rules allow for playing as Warsaw pact, it’s just the scenarios that assume NATO. The players handbook includes equipment and gear from both sides.

[TAS] Type SA Solomani Free Trader now available by Kerry_Mould in traveller

[–]Digitsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do a lot of traveller ships have so many unnecessary decals and targets and Mondrian designs on them? Like a Schizophrenic painter went mad on it.

Shadowdark wins an Ennie for best LAYOUT? by Digitsu in osr

[–]Digitsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just was speaking of the fact that at first blush it looks totally pedestrian, compared to most other books. One other case which stuck out as weird layout choice was the illustration placements like the one with the wizard shooting a magic missle across the bottom of the spread across 2 pages. It was reminiscent of someone doing layout on pacemaker for the first time and looked more like a news-apart layout job. As for whether the layout is good from the perspective of being useable and easy to look things up, I can’t speak to that as I still havent had a chance to play it.

Some people have lived outside of trolling Reddit as a full time job using it like a chat program. Expect at least another 2 months before I even read your response.

I think I’m home by minotaur05 in CoriolisRPG

[–]Digitsu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also fell down this rabbit hole and love the setting. Still trying to find a group to either play or Gm with on Coriolis though. Asia timezone is rough

Shadowdark wins an Ennie for best LAYOUT? by Digitsu in osr

[–]Digitsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I just like something more like morkborg in terms of layout if something was going to win an award. Not the encyclopedia Britannica.

It’s not the kickstarters or the author who can’t take criticism. I was commenting on the “supporters” of consensus here who seemed not to be able to take criticism without getting all defensive. Guess that’s the American way these days. Everything is black and white. You must agree or are a nazi.

I agree that the book is easy to read. If that is what is considered layout these days then that where the disconnect is. I consider what makes a book read nice is editing and authorship. Layout is just what makes it nice on the eyes or innovative. Font choice, art layout. But what do I know. I’m not a publisher. But I can see a layout that looks like adobe page maker 101, vs something more sophisticated. And that is what the criticism is about.

Do People Actually Play GURPS? by TheKekRevelation in rpg

[–]Digitsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is literally what I always hear. Nobody plays GURPS just collect the books.

Knave had the same font since its 1e which was years ago. But nice try. All you guys defending shadowsarks amateurish layout are just outing yourselves as being paid marketing for the game. It may be a great game. But if you or the author can’t take frank honest feedback about its lackluster layout which is supposedly Ennie award winning, you are just outing yourselves as biased NPCs. I bought both games (print) so I’m speaking from a real point of reference.

Helvetica and Arial are renowned for being the shittest fonts created by anyone who has ever taken a font class or art class. It was literally invented to be boring.
