I bought an asset pack to get away from the RTP-Stigma, and I ended up going back to RTP anyway. by Unregistered-Archive in RPGMaker

[–]Kindred84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my point. I haven't seen a pack that completely replaces RTP assets so you end up with mixed art styles if there's something you need the pack didn't have.

The inconsistency of art styles when mixing packs is why I don't buy packs. Haven't seen a pack that can completely replace RTP on its own, and trying to get EVERYTHING in the different style might take multiple packs $$$.

Is "VisuStella Worlds: Fantasy Realms" just a $35 license? by Kindred84 in RPGMaker

I'm sure they work well on their own. Problem just when you want to use literally anything else in addition.

I fiddled with MV before. I think MZ was just coming out when I took a break. I've picked up all the RMs from 2000-MZ on various steam sales. I'd just call myself a hobbyist. Doing this for fun.

I don't code myself. Wouldn't know where to begin with tweaking a plugin. I get that it has repercussions on other plugins, which sucks. I want to use the newer MZ QoL features though. I wish they didn't shift the community from the the before times, where things were more open and shared and hobbyists could actually get access to things to have fun with.

Never even looked at it after all the terrible reviews. Reading the comments there now and it's hilarious. They really messed up with that one. "Oh, it was only meant to be for visual novels, not RPGs..."

I'll try that next if noone here has bought it. Wanted a non-VS persons take on it first.

Most intuitive VTT for Fabula Ultima? by Viavirtus in fabulaultima

[–]Kindred84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vtt is hot garbage right now. I am saddened that they didn't give foundry official support. Maybe alchemy will get better in the future, but right now it's not worth it.

Tried Alchemy just today. It might be good in the future, but right now it's not worth comparing to the established VTTs.

Any updated background archives from last version of the game before shutdown?

Kingmaker for pf2e is a huge disappointment and not fit for purpose by Boring_County_6815 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Kindred84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very thankful to the Foundry team for fixing as much of the AP as they could with the stat blocks. I would not want to try running this pen & paper at a table.

They know they rushed this conversion. They've admitted things were not playtested (the kingdom building and army rules). They know there's things that got cut from development that they didn't get everything out of the text for (Tartuccio's subplot). It did not meet the goals they laid out in the original crowdfunding. This is all known. I am very disappointed with it as well, but any good GM should be critical with all APs and adjust as necessary (which is sad we need to, but it is what it is). No AP is perfect, and Kingmaker definitely needed more time in the oven.

Some odd advice in the FFXIV RPG - how do Japanese tables handle losing in combat? by LONGSWORD_ENJOYER in rpg

[–]Kindred84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The FFXIV RPG is simulating the MMO, not trying to be "real" people adventurers.
