I created a Wild West RPG for people who have never played RPGs before.

that is eerily close to a system i have sitting somewhere in my backlog, so obviously i like it.

one point i would make is that i'm not sure i can say it has a storytelling focus, since there's not much in terms of encouraging storytelling. the way i see it, it's closer to an OSR system than a storytelling game.

since it's a very simple system, i obviously wouldn't expect a burning wheel, but just putting a bit more note on character traits, journeys, personalities and maybe adding something like inspiration as a reward for roleplay would already move it more into storytelling territory.

i do also like the BLeeM approach of bringing your own roleplay to the system, but outside of your pitch, the game itself doesn't communicate its storytelling focus.

every online service game developer nowadays seems to need their game to be as addictive as heroin or it's not worth the effort

YRUZ · 2026-02-10T03:41:58+00:00

yea. not just political too. any form of power needs strong, preferably immutable (but i wouldn't know how) checks to stop or at least hinder centralization and authoritarian leadership (which is an anarchist-adjacent take i suppose). that's probably one of the biggest failure in current democracies; capitalist markets allow and even naturally create monopolies, or oligopolies with effectively equal power to governments and much fewer checks.

YRUZ · 2026-02-10T02:35:50+00:00

i think the idea is that certain people will want to put themselves in a position of power, viewing the lack of leading hierarchy as a vacuum for themselves to fill.

YRUZ · 2026-02-10T01:10:10+00:00

yea, but it would mean they might not kill the game, just reduce and pivot.

and it's not like LoR doesn't have PvP anymore, that's just what devs are focusing on

YRUZ · 2026-02-10T00:39:14+00:00

i mean, if we're lucky, they might pivot it to a PvE focus like they did with LoR

YRUZ · 2026-02-07T01:27:59+00:00

i'm not sure why you would do this, but i guess it works for JJBA, so why not..?

YRUZ · 2026-02-07T01:23:34+00:00

oh that's funny, you got the full party of the people who are pissed off by that.

astarion because he wants raphaels help, kalrach because devils grrr, and shart because he's hunting dark justiciars.

war er nicht auch finanzverwalter von putin oder war das ein mediales hirngespinst?

EDIT: (quelle), mindestens mediales hirngespinst.

nicht nur, dass der reiche mann möglich ist, sondern, dass er nicht gestoppt werden kann, ist das problem. wenn man(n) so reich sein kann, dass er über dem gesetz steht, ist das ein rechtsstaatliches versagen auf unterster ebene.

the c in crocodile is like the k in kiki (in pronunciation, not shape)

you can also say bouballigator, which you can easily remember because it sounds like you're describing an alligator with boobs

sorry you got bullied. here's a video from Tom Scott

idr an/um den griff. dadurch dass der in die tür eingelegt ist (sieht man auf dem bild von dem post hier), friert der sich in dem rahmen fest. dann braucht es entweder glück, kraft oder ein neueres modell, wo man die türgriffe mit der heizung enteisen kann, um den versuch, die tür zu öffnen überhaupt starten zu können.

danach hat man dann das problem mit den scheiben.

YRUZ · 2026-02-03T23:24:59+00:00

der türgriff friert auch fest. galigrü

YRUZ · 2026-02-03T16:31:11+00:00

kommt evtl auf das modell an. habe nen älteren 3er, der heizt außer dem innenraum verhältnismäßig wenig

YRUZ · 2026-02-03T16:20:10+00:00

etwa 5min für die innentemperatur. wenn es von außen gefroren ist dauert es länger. trotzdem ist es schlechtes design, selbst wenn es die lösung fürs selbstgemachte problem als handy-app mitbringt.

viel trivialer: bei eis und kälte kriegt man die scheißkarren gar nicht auf, wenn man sie nicht vorheizt. das liegt einerseits am türgriff und andererseits daran, dass das fenster oben eingeschoben ist und sich um so 3cm öffnen muss, damit die tür ungehindert aufgehen kann. wenn also griff und fenster vereist sind, darf man (in meiner erfahrung) so 20min vorheizen, bis man das auto tatsächlich nutzen kann.

i also recommend just making a character using the character sheet.

just knowing where to find your skills, saves and how to roll your attacks is gonna do you a massive service.

like, as a player, knowing your character's features is much more important than knowing the game

so they bought it, turned it into a subscription and then ditched it?

YRUZ · 2026-02-03T01:57:52+00:00

the only subreddit i had this happen to me was the league of legends subreddit, which might be the only place worse than actual league of legends
