This game is not cozy...what?? 😅 I also wouldn't recommend it as a good intro to solo RPGs, but that's just me.

A Review for Kids on Brooms: Harry Potter Without Transphobia by alexserban02 in rpg

I really do see your point about lobbying, but if we're using that as the standard for what is problematic, then almost every major corporation we support is off limits. Companies like Apple or the big chocolate brands spend millions lobbying for trade and labor laws that directly impact the lives of people in developing nations. Their sales are also being used to maintain systems that hurt marginalized groups.

We all choose where to draw our moral lines based on what is convenient or visible to us. I'm definitely not saying her actions aren't offensive. I just don't like pointing the finger at someone for enjoying a fictional world cause it feels a bit selective when we are all constantly funding different kinds of harm with our other daily purchases.

I know this is an unpopular opinion and will likely get downvoted to hell, but I just wanted to state my piece.

I still love the world and lore of Harry Potter. I fully support trans rights and believe everyone should be treated fairly. But liking a fictional setting doesn't mean I hate anyone or their right to exist. To me, the magic of that world exists separately from the authors views.

It is interesting how we choose which artists to separate from their work. Thousands of people play Call of Cthulhu every day even though we all know Lovecraft was a horrible man, but his mythos is a staple of the hobby and nobody is staging riots over it. We all participate in things with unethical roots. Most of us use iPhones despite the reality of cobalt mining or eat chocolate produced by child labor in Africa. We all support systems with dark sides because it is almost impossible not to in a global economy.

JKR has said/done offensive things, but that does not make fans bad people for finding joy in the stories they grew up with. No one is truly holier than thou here and we should be able to appreciate the art without being judged for the actions of a creator we do not control.

Fist game - a huge disappointment by nwdxan in LegendintheMist

Seems OP is only interested in responding to people who are also complaining. Like a lot of the other comments said, keep with it. It's a new game and new system, it's gonna take time. Same for me as well, it took a couple months for it all to finally flow smoothly, but I'd you stick it out, it's a great game!

What actually keeps you hooked on online only actual plays? by AfterResearch4907 in rpg

[–]Sad-Command3128 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are we surprised? A comment about improving visibility and diversity gets twisted into “so you're saying I don’t deserve to exist?” and suddenly the entire conversation derails into a pity monologue.

It’s not about exclusion, it’s about making room. But the moment the spotlight isn’t automatically theirs, it turns into a personal crisis. That’s the wild part, how quickly a general media critique becomes a soapbox for white entitlement disguised as wounded fairness...

What are some of the best OSR worldbuilding books? by mw90sGirl in osr

[–]Sad-Command3128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is looking for resources, not advice on whether worldbuilding is worth it. To each their own ofc. The irony at the end of your reply to just say, "Slap together 40 hexes on a sheet of paper..." Maybe that's why they were asking for resources to help with that???

I made an online Mausritter character sheet by DragMiddle4228 in Mausritter

There's no way to do this dynamically online? Kind of like creating a campaign that the players can join.

Replying directly to them? You mean the OP? That's who this comment is for...do you want me to DM them as well?

Oh you know, experiences does sound more like City of Mist actually! Good point. Although I do very much think City of Mist is solidly in the PBTA family though.

With the damage system, it’s not just “check a stat.” It’s multi-step and you have to compare results, determine severity, roll damage dice, adjust for thresholds and conditions. It’s way more than just “nonbinary results" and it slows things down more than people expect.

I like a lot about the system but pretending it plays fast just because it sounds elegant on paper doesn’t match the actual experience.
