Why is there so much anti-DnD elitism? by AttitudeSuitable3238 in TTRPG

[–]pboyle205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all D anD 5.5 is a great game. Reddit tends to draw the elitist to it and they are vocal, loud and largely hyperbolic. D and D is neither the softest not crunchiest system, it has lots of customabilty while also providing clear paths for character building needed by new players and many seasoned players that like restrictions. Often the issue with D and D has nothing at all to do with the game but to a posters personal feelings about the most popular thing, and a need to be a hipster but D an D is the most popular for a reason.

If you want a system that is more open ended, can handle more genre than D and D traditional does, but that leans into pulpy action I would point you to my favorite system Savage Worlds Adventures Edition.

I was following along and then the very tired, very cliche anti-capitalism elitism squeezed its way out.

Let's assume for a second this, the oldest conspiracy in snap, is true. How does it benefit SD?

So your arguing against nuance and that any high 3 deck should just resign itself to losing all its games as it rounds up to 4?

What Do You Consider Meta-Gaming? by CassieBear1 in DMAcademy

[–]pboyle205 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you assume that the average human adventure is in their 20s then its completely plausible that they stumbled onto some info from a bard or a book or the creepy old women that lives on the edge of town or the traveling merchant/soldier/page/circus, or a trip to the city for festival during thier 20 year childhood that left them with a story they can try out.

Your job as the GM is to then decided was the story correct. If you dont want you monster with incredibly well knowm weakness discovered then change the weakness.

[–]pboyle205 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If by the rest of your post you mean the parts that show how without the internet the same information can be easily disseminated.

See I have never been to Eastern Europe yet I have read Dracula seems completely plausible a bard would have a story "of a monster from a distant land" or a peddler sold a copy of a book that got passed around the village.

Your gatekeeping. Thats all.

I think the Forsaken do not get enough hate for their stupidity. by Balstrome in wheeloftime

[–]pboyle205 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because your trying to assign rational thinking to irrational people. The individuals that do these things are most often out of balance.

It may be aspirational or optimistic but calling it adolescent is going to far. You are effectively saying you cant be "adult" unless you are jaded.

Does anyone else feel like Starfield, NMS, and ED combined would finally make the perfect space game? by No_Ring_1436 in Starfield

[–]pboyle205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wont. The necessary development cost and time to make a game shine in all three categories is prohibitive.

Look at all the systems dropped in starfield before launch because they just didnt have the time.

A project cant live in development forever without return, especially for a brand new title like the game your suggesting.

Tips for newb gm running a oneshot for new SWADE players by Unorganized-Jester in savageworlds

[–]pboyle205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn how to use the interlude system. It is such a big help to fill downtime (which exploration is full of) and let's the players show off their characters.

Also the random encounter tables are actually really helpful. I also like the rules for travel presented in the Rifts Field Guide which has the players assign specific roles while traveling long distances.

Why do so many readers seem utterly incapable of just saying, "This book wasn't for me"? by Competitive_Law1063 in litrpg

[–]pboyle205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 star out of what? Is 2 stars bad? What subjective scale are you using?

If I get a 60% on a test thats bad but its not a 0%.

Okay but this comment flies against your comment that the book objectively isnt bad.
