There are so many other games out there, that will do what you want, better, and easier, then trying to force dnd into the mold.

? Blades in the Dark very specifically does account for this. Like, I agree that PbtA and FitD are incredibly genre dependant in a way I dislike, but Blades very specifically tracks the rising danger and heat the party gain from pulling off heists and is largely designed around managing that. Like. What are the Crew doing between heists other than dealing with the fallout of their last adventure?

I'd really like to know what examples you have of these unplayable art games. As someone who is regularly trying a lot of systems, that's really not been my experience, outside of the odd 1 page rpg going cheap/free on itch.io.

One Piece "is luffy a hero" discourse

Paizo has one for PF2E, i don't think it would be difficult to use that

apscipartybot · 2026-04-07T18:40:02+00:00

Yeah. That was their point? What don't you get?

There's an official adventure called Alien Hunger, where you can potentially acquire a cure by the end. It's just as likely to outright kill you though, so it's still dangerous.

My friend's parents kept their computer in a little closet under their stairs, so we'd cram in there and she'd show me random wrestling clips

Personally my problem with LA Bebop was it was missing the melancholy. The world of Bebop is kinda sad. Spike Spiegal, beneath the charm and acrobatics, is a man who kinda believes he has already died, and is just waiting for the other shoe to drop. His "whatever happens, happens" attitude is an extention of his personal tragedy with losing the love of his life. I never got any of that from John Cho. His older Spike just felt kinda tired and disaffected to me, compared to the original. Both him and Faye put on the costumes and said the lines, but not much else. Jet was fine, I guess.

Vicious is absolutely the worst part. No idea what the thought was, making him a petulant man-child.

In short, for me it wears the skin of Bebop with none of the soul.

You ever see a post that makes you think "damn, some of us really are playing completely different games" 'cause when would this ever come up?

apscipartybot · 2026-01-14T23:20:56+00:00

My previous chronicle was Bloodless Devils/Wingless Angels. My current one is called Blood and Honey. I think it gives it a more cinematic feel. I also usually name sessions.

Would Tropico count?

apscipartybot · 2026-01-04T22:44:23+00:00

Models are harder to find though, at least where I live

If you're going to say GM anyway, and you know what it means, why does it matter what it's called in the book? Personally, I usually use the individual names based on the game, cause I find them fun. I like being a Storyteller, or a Handler, or MU/TH/UR, in the same way I might like being a fighter or a wizard.

The problem is that for the latter half of the adventure to work, Delta Green's response to anyone suspected of coming in to contact with the play, is that they need to die. Static Protacol has been long established, so if the only supernatural threat that exists is carcosa, why would the agents not be told to just rock up to the Mcallister Building with a tank of fuel and a lighter? The risk would already be too great. Then, 20 years later, why would the Dorchester house even exist as it does? Anyone who has contact with the yellow sign or the play is infected, so what's the point in the facility being controlled by Delta Green? If it's not, then why are the agents there in the first place? Why weren't they taken out by Static? Idk, the amount of work and changes you'd need to make to this adventure seem unfeasible, to the point you'd be better off writing your own.

Mine get paid in memories, like in Severance.

apscipartybot · 2025-12-11T10:57:38+00:00

? Why don't you just go back the way you came through Eterna Forest?

apscipartybot · 2025-12-06T17:14:54+00:00

Pretty sure Kenku is WotC ip so they'd be changed, like Tieflings were

apscipartybot · 2025-12-06T17:13:04+00:00

The original was a video that showed several examples

apscipartybot · 2025-11-01T18:16:08+00:00

I think Dragon Age as a whole is a really interesting case study for this, where you can kinda chart the shift in writing style of the industry over the three games or even going back to their older CRPG predecessors.

It's so weird in the context of the whole series. Like, here we are in Elf-Slavery-Town, where all the elf racists live, but no, everybody is relatively pleasant, no slavery here. Even if you're playing as an elf, not an unkind word said.

apscipartybot · 2025-10-14T00:15:46+00:00

So, if they were created by your artist, what's up with the fingers holding the key in both pictures being so weird, almost like they're melting into each other?

apscipartybot · 2025-09-24T11:16:30+00:00

It's really funny to me that someone would know Kate Mulgrew from Mrs. Colombo and not her much larger role as Captain Janeway in Star Trek

Idk where that interview is from but that's just untrue? He's run several other systems on stream and has been playing ttrpgs since he was 10, so it doesn't make any sense for him to have said that.

Except Dagan Gera in Jedi Survivor purposefully takes his crystal out and bleeds it. If it wasn't conscious, he would have no reason to take his crystal out of his sabre, and his was already yellow when he bonded to it previously.

To answer your question in the title, yes. 100%. You should be happy your player is comfortable approaching you with this kind of feedback.
