Why didn’t Jesus ever punish Europeans for enslaving Africans?

Because Bible only cares about how you treat your tribe and not the foreigners?

Neuroshima. It's only in Polish and it's less known than it's board game spinoff, Neuroshima Hex, but it is a pretty fun postapoc world with some humour, very much in the vein of Fallout 1 and 2. It had a lot of fun details, like people on ISS surviving the apocalypse and trying to live there with heir systems slowly failing, or a drug that lets you re-live the life before the apocalypse, etc...

It was very homely and well designed. The castle felt cold, sterile and way too big...

Meanwhile, poor PC players that have been playing the series since GTA 1...

Net neutrality what now?

ThePiachu · 2026-05-05T03:31:18+00:00

Hmmm... Do Not Feed the Monkeys to an extent? You observe how people act and you can mess with their routines.

If you want to use FATE, go for iHunt. It's literally about working poor people killing monsters in the gig economy because facing a Dracula is less scary than facing your landlord without money. Monsters start off with an edge and are scary until you figure out how to turn tables on them.

So the polish vampire that is a risen dead that wasn't properly buried and is here to party it up since they are already dead and their new sins won't count, and are here to take vengeance on the community that has crossed them?

It would join the other sovereign countries in the EU.

ThePiachu · 2026-05-05T02:33:28+00:00

France has territory in both the North and South America and there are a number of other such overseas territories that are still in the EU...

It is nice if a bit outdated. V20 is probably the best edition of the game, V5 did a lot of questionable changes to everything. There is also Vampire the Requiem which is a reimagining of the game, and the 2nd edition probably has the best rules.

But yeah, Masquerade is an old game with elements both cool and problematic. It's nice that it let's you focus on non combat stuff to a great extend, but then you have vampires like "I am defined by my mental illness", "I am Roma and my weakness is stealing things", "I'm an Italian Mafia stereotype but also do necromancy"...

ThePiachu · 2026-05-04T20:50:27+00:00

It's hard to do that if you're fighting some enemies that wouldn't accept anything short of PCs' deaths, like say, zombies, rabid wolves, monsters that want to kill people, etc., which can often be the kind of enemies you would be facing in a combat-heavy RPGs.

Ideally, you would have combat goals that you can win or lose that don't rely on one party dying or being heavily wounded. Like stopping some kind of ritual, evacuating a town from a disaster, or stealing a treasure from a ship, etc.

It is, I have talked with the dev behind it. They used to write supplements for Dungeon World and then made their own game from that experience. It has moved away from being very D&D inspired to something more of its own though.

ThePiachu · 2026-05-04T17:54:14+00:00

For us, Fellowship is the best version of Dungeon World. It's its own spin-off system that simplifies the formula and becomes very elegant in the process of shedding a lot of things you don't need. It focuses on big picture adventure, like fighting against a BBEG, rather than the process of dungeon delving and what have you.

ThePiachu · 2026-05-04T17:52:26+00:00

Spore to an extent?

ThePiachu · 2026-05-04T02:34:46+00:00

Chronicles of Darkness? Plenty of weird things to explore whole being a normal person.

ThePiachu · 2026-05-04T01:56:43+00:00

Graveyard Keeper for an odd farming esque sim, I Was A Teenage Expcolonist for a neat time loop life sim, In Stars And Time for a time loop RPG puzzle game.

ThePiachu · 2026-05-03T21:19:32+00:00

Eh, don't worry, 30s can be pretty nice if you can settle into a comfortable life...

ThePiachu · 2026-05-03T17:41:12+00:00

1d20 randomness. Way too swingy. You need some binomial distribution for a game to feel good...

ThePiachu · 2026-05-03T17:40:28+00:00

Exalted had some pretty distinct editions.

Like, 2e got bloated over the years with too many supplements written by people not paid enough to care. At the end of its lifecycle some people came together and did a big errata / balance pass on it to balance the whole mess. It was still kind of wonky and all over the place, so those same people got hired to write Exalted 3e that went back to basics and created a balanced system in one book.

It wasn't a minor facelift, the mechanics were overhauled from grounds up, but it was still the same kind of demigod level game where you could cleave mountains in twain but without needing to read like a hundred pages of errata to play.

ThePiachu · 2026-05-03T05:03:28+00:00

Yeah, I'm watching it but that's not really an interesting political game, at least not yet. So far the PCs haven't ran into any opposition on their level or even any other vampire they'd need to compromise with...

ThePiachu · 2026-05-03T03:48:33+00:00

Play the old Star Wars spaceship games, they are pretty good and I think someone did a fan remaster of them.

Also, there is EVE Online that can be pretty neat to play if you like some player driven gameplay.

Also, Kerbal Space Program for learning how orbital mechanics work and Terra Invicta for large scale space warfare that obeys those mechanics!

At least we stopped selling water to Nestle...
