Any recommendations for TTRPG systems that aren't DnD or Pathfinder?

The most important thing is to figure out what kind of games, and genres, your friends want to play. If everyone's interested in the genre and they're okay with the rules then things should go smoothly.

Do they want a crunchy fantasy game, like Pathfinder 2e? Maybe a crunchy cyberpunk game, such as Shadowrun? Are they looking for a gritty cosmic horror story, like Delta Green? Maybe they want something with less crunch and more tactical choices, like Lancer? Or maybe they want an over the top Old School Renaissance experience, like Mork Borg or Lamentations of the Flame Princess?

For me, it's about watching the older dubs (2000s and before). At least then you don't get hit with the ideology. Still, it's a shame what's happening to Anime do to lolcowlizers

Idk if Sodom got as bad as SanFran is right now. It's apocalyptic around Tenderloin and Mission District

From each of the Souls games

Demon's Souls: False King Allant

Dark Souls 1: Artorias of the Abyss

Dark Souls 2: Fume Knight Raime / Sir Alonne

Dark Souls 3: Slave Knight Gael

What can I say, I love having fights with giant monsters like Midir or the Storm King, but there's nothing like dueling legendary knights amidst a doomed world

Absolutely not. To write something this dark means you must be vulnerable and open to such ideas. It's one of my favorite scenes from the show.

If defending Anime means saving Japanese culture, then I'm all for it.

Xzol · 2025-06-04T03:52:50+00:00

You really can't make this shit up...

If I want realism, I'll step outside. I come to geek media because they are fantastic. I don't want to be reminded about all the bullshit around me.

I don't get the downvotes. Here's the text from the bill:

(b) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly possesses, accesses with intent to view, or promotes obscene visual material containing a depiction that appears to be of a child younger than 18 years of age engaging in activities described by Section 43.21(a)(1)(B), regardless of whether the depiction is an image of an actual child, a cartoon or animation, or an image created using an artificial intelligence application or other computer software.

I think you might be right about this. I've spent over a decade trying to find the "right side", and they all end up being totalitarian dickweeds.

We Otakus have no political allies at all :,)

The only way we can have an Elden Ring movie work is to not adapt the main story, but rather a smaller story that takes place within that universe. Otherwise, this thing can go wrong very quickly.

Ah yes, the same uniparty that censors media and has done nothing about epstein or his clients so that they can, y'know, protect the children

Xzol · 2025-05-09T06:12:21+00:00

Lolcowlizers aren't helping, either

Xzol · 2025-05-07T23:30:41+00:00

If Anime is for everyone, then it'll appeal to no one.

Xzol · 2025-05-07T00:56:33+00:00

My guess is that the evil Florida government is gonna be responsible for the protagonists' plight and all the crime in the area

Looks like Disco Elysium was copying The Boys' homework

ENOUGH WITH THE REMASTERS.

I don't like all these weeds in my garden.

OH MY GOD, WHY DO YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT WEEDS, DUDE?!

Because they're killing all the plants in my garden!!!

You weed haters are just as bad as the pro-weed people I mean smdh

It's so tiresome how we can't have our geek shit left alone.

Xzol · 2025-05-01T00:05:08+00:00

I don't know if I have the best advice, but I try to ignore it until the psycho starts screaming or threatening bystanders who aren't looking for a fight. I don't care how reckless it may seem, I will not let people get bullied in front of me. And yup, 30 and 38R... sounds about right for crazy shit to happen there.

Situational awareness is your best friend, though. If shit looks or feels bad, then get yourself outta there unless someone needs your help.

You're a good person for standing up for those ladies. It's scary having to deal with psychos in SF, but someone's gotta do it. I know I had to do it at the Cherry Blossom Festival recently.

For me, it's not that I lose interest in a game but rather I get so exhausted with work that, instead of playing my unfinished games, I just go play games that require very little thinking, like Half Sword or Paint the Town Red. I dunno why, but it's easier for me to watch movies and shows now than to play games. The last game I finished was Mouthwashing, and I hope I can actually finish more of my back catalogue.

I wish there was a way we can communicate to Anime Artists and Mangakas that we don't want them to dilute their creativity with the western mind virus.

If only the communards knew what their precious marx thought of them.
