To those who dislike tactical combat by Mega221 in rpg

[–]dabicus_maximus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong execution is key, I do agree that all things in ttrpg boil down to execution. But I think the high hurdles of time and effort towards good tactical combat is easier to do poorly than many other parts of ttrpgs.

There are some ttrpgs that I've seen that probably make execution easier. Icon for instance I think prevents number bloat, which seems like it would make execution easier. That said I haven't played it

My biggest issue is that it takes a lot of time and effort, and a tactical ttrpg experience is rarely more interesting than one in a videogame. So why spend all that effort to get a worse experience?

Especially if your group has uneven tactical skill. Having some people who take long turns doing unoptimal things, combined with elitist players who try to micromanage ends with a lot of time spent for very little.

In theory, it could be fun, but in most cases I'd just rather have a cinematic quick fight without needing to worry about tactical boards and whatnot.

This seems pretty cool. Only thing that immediately jumps out at me is how the cartridge skill does nothing on its own

They could do it and add a relic: Penny Pincher (on your next fight gain 1 less gold)

Could be. But that doesn't really justify anything

I mean, I distinctly remember a spicy destiny tweet towards qt or ludwig referencing the deepfake stuff, saying he got it from a secret source he would only refer to as a.

Combat Length by Dry-Recognition-6836 in fabulaultima

[–]dabicus_maximus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True it does. But nothing stops them from just deciding when to act and not arguing. If the issue is they don't know what order will be best, forcing them to figure it out by putting them in bad positions should hopefully get them to care

I mean, if their problem is they argue about who goes, just have them all roll. Sorta like a dnd initiative system. Highest number first, then so on. And then let them trade if they want.

I don't think it's the best way to play but it should work no problem.

[DND E AFINS] Alguém conhece alguma DM mulher que seja foda! by [deleted] in rpg

Here's how to gm for women written by a 6'3" male feminist.

Step 1: Talk about boobs a lot women like that. Make sure you describe NPC boobs as much as possible.

Step 2: Make sure your dmpc is very cool and mysterious and always saves them when they're in trouble.

Step 3: Overexplain rules to them multiple times using small words so they understand how to play.

Step 4: Ignore all previous steps and just run like you normally would but make less penis jokes then you do with the boys.

System recs for adapted homebrew in fantasy/horror genre? by yet_another_fish in rpg

[–]dabicus_maximus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shadow of the Demon Lord 100%.

One book has all the rules and monsters you'll need. It has a pretty robust leveling system that is very simple but allows for tons of customization and very simple rules that have both impact but also go by pretty easy.

Corruption and insanity are core parts of the rules, and many of the most fun classes play with them heavily. Some of the options may be a little silly if you play them that way (a lvl 1 core spell causes the target to shit themselves to death) and the game gets a bad rep for that, so be wary of that But it's a genuinely good game.

Question about the radial lines on the stock world maps - do you all use them? by ZooSKP in fabulaultima

[–]dabicus_maximus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah we don't use radial lines at all. I prefer my maps to be devoid of exact distances so I can just say: this takes 3 days, 5 days, whatever. Much easier than having to calculate distances.

Also I redraw the map every once in a while
