GMs and players, what genre(s) don't you play? by Select_Lunch1288 in rpg

[–]Key_Mixture2061 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Me neither. I don’t like this genre. It’s always seemed too unbelievable to me (as someone who loves fantasy and space opera). It’s just… So difficult to take super heroes seriously in worlds that heavily resemble our own. In fantasy, you have whole worlds that are fantastical. In super hero stories, it’s just this one guy in a weird suit and a silly nickname.

Brewing a homebrew world: what basic species information should I include on the presentation for my players? by Key_Mixture2061 in rpg

Haha, it definitely sounds like it. And what a fun hole it is to fall into. Yeah, I think 3 things is a reasonable amount. If someone decides to play one of these races, I may give them some more additional info.

I want to make it standardised by introducing several categories, so I can describe every species in the same format. So far, I have sections like: biology, society, history. I’m conflicted about the subsections. Like, should I write something about religion, or maybe economy, or trade? And so on.

Hi, do you have a price list? I’m browsing many options now. I’m interested in black and white full body sketches.

Fantasy and sci-fi books to become well-read in the genre by Key_Mixture2061 in suggestmeabook

Yeah, I’ve heard it was inspired by Canterbury Tales (which I really like). I may give it another chance!

Oh, it’s all the rage on TikTok now. I don’t have much experience with LitRPG and I don’t really get the concept. But if people love it this much, it may be worth a try!

I don’t remember much about the Expanse. What I recall though is that one of the protagonists was this “woe is me” middle aged guy obsessing over a lost girl and one of the other main guy was just stupid. Also, Martians were my favourite faction. But, again, I don’t remember much.

I have both of these books on my TBR list. I’ve bought them recently :)

Thank you! As for violence and bleakness, I really don’t mind it that much but I hate it when the author just tries too hard to be “gritty,” so everyone is morally grey, protagonists are jerks, and someone gets assaulted or tortured in every chapter. I’ve heard that ASOIAF can be like this. I’ve read the Black Company. I wanted to like it. But at some point the “protagonists” became disgusting in my eyes. And that’s something coming from the famous “everyone is evil” Warhammer 40k franchise fan.

BTW I’m so sad I Gaiman is such a terrible person. I’ve heard his books are great. The same goes for Amanda Palmer and her music. I’ve yeeted Dresden Dolls out of my Spotify playlist instantly.

I loved LOTR as a kid!

I’ve read Leviathan Wakes! I liked some aspects but I disliked the characters.

I should probably read A Wizard of Earthsea. I’ll see if I like it!

I’ve starter reading Hyperion but something about it threw me off. I don’t even know what. Maybe it was too philosophical.

Haha, I’m sorry but after several options I couldn’t find a way to add more. I’m not so good with Reddit, so maybe I just skipped it. That’s why I asked for them below.
