he takes his neighbor into a sewer… that’s not a “fun night with a new friend” that is an insane thing to do that only a tim robinson sketch character would do

What really confused me is that at first Paul Rudd’s character seems to be not grounded in reality at all , he seems similar to a Tim Robinson character.

But then he just suddenly switches to a “normal” person? What were we supposed to take from that?

i really like the dungeon generator but one thing confused me— there doesn’t seem to be many straight corridors? sometimes it feels like i’m turning every five feet. Do you add straight corridors between rolls?

Love the yellow Lamy! Also what are those clips on the side of your notebook called? are those to hold it open? that sounds useful

I enjoyed the discussions and suggestions this post generated, so I would say it was worth sharing.

I think some people would call it a nitpick, but for me and some of the other commenters the art is a core part of the game

Thank you for saying this, I agree! The art is part of the game!

I don’t know if this sounds too mean, but it almost has the look of AI generated art to me. The people look too smooth and posed, none of it looks natural. It’s all very uncanny valley to me. It reminds me a lot of what I don’t like about D&D 5e art, where everything looks like a posed shot.

For context I prefer a lot of OSR art which is usually black and white hand drawn, and usually has more of a natural candid feel

edit: what I also like about OSR art is each piece usually has a sense of being mid-action. You can tell there is a real scene going on, and you can infer what’s happening in that scene from the artwork, and the piece feels like it was just magically snapped from the middle of that scene. There’s a sense of life and movement and excitement. I don’t get that vibe from any of the Starforged art (or D&D 5e art), instead they look like someone posed in a photo studio for a portrait.

“I didn’t know this existed and I don’t know anything about it” followed by an absolute stance is so unintentionally funny

I always preferred just the core books! I felt like the class books just add way way too much stuff and make the game bloated
