    Besides deciding on a table (the group you play with) choosing the right game and system is hugely impactful. There are so many games that really you should try to find one that inherently matches what your table wants to play. (Your table can consist of just you, there are plenty of really...

    And how does that change what the rules are? The point you're making isn't actually all that relevant to my point. If anything it reinforces my point. That's, indeed, exactly what should happen. Houseruling, laughing someone away from the table, etc. But that's not what the deal with the post...

    The problem is that more and more modern ttrpgs are like that too. We are in a time period that will likely be looked upon as the rise of the themepark or story games. Because you basically get on the ride the GM has made for you, play along, and maybe something interesting will happen...

    Yeah, but that's not what I was getting at in the first place. There are games where it's functionally childish 'play pretend' because there are so few rules. Like Mist-Robed Gate, a Wuxia 'ttrpg,' where you pass a knife prop around and basically go 'I do kung fu slightly better than you!'...

    Yeah, it is. Their 'we ripped off 'blades in the dark' occult horror game that also does things like says 'art deco and art nuveau for the aesthetic' and then proceed to not have a single piece of art in either style, in between lecturing you and missing entire rules. They've got a ... 2d12? I...

    The reviews coming out for Candela Obscura are great. The game is so rules light it's literally missing rules like combat or dying, it preachy, goes on to say things like emulating insanity is problematic and immediately gives 'rules' for physical disabilities, etc. Right? Everyone here...

    I can only imagine that Doctor Who takes a few million, minimum. A quick search shows 10 million GBP per episode. Given the deteriorating state of the public healthcare system in the UK: How many hospitals could be renovated and expanded for that? How many nurses and doctors could be hired...

    You know I touched on the whole 'there's a line' thing? I did also use the word 'almost' when it came to being a joke character. Most of the time a character being fat is as a joke or made into one. Po, for instance, his being fat/chubby is 100% a joke for the entire Kung Fu Panda 1. And if...

    It comes down to, for me, what's reasonable. If she's incredibly athletic due to the game's setting and what she's doing, ie Batgirl Barbara Gordon, that's good. If Babs is thicc but athletic, alright, still down. There's a bit of a line here since the level of activity is high, so she can't...

    Ego, power trip, whatever. They want more power. They want to feel powerful. They read books written by R&P people or people who want to feel R&P and feed their egos, and get ideas. Things like 15-minute cities, the Great Reset, and more. They get dazzled by presentations with amazing CGI. They...

    It's funny and cute because you think it requires intelligence for them to come to that idea. An idea as old if not older than civilization that's always been at the forefront of the Rich & Powerful. This is literally nothing new. It's one of the oldest songs and dances of Humanity. They want...

    The point is making us all the same bland boring person. Easily controlled, easily swapped out with each other. So that each of us can be a cog in the machine and easily replaced if we can no longer perform whatever function.

    My honest guess? Late this decade, early next. Like how the 60-80s went in terms of that social upheval. Because Intersectional Feminism (And thus transgenderism) is starting to affect cis-women adversely more and more.

    Ah yes the identification with evil that the left is so fond of. The collapse of virtue heralds the collapse of civilization.

    You can look at High Guardian Spice as a woke trash original IP. There are so many videos on youtube. I remember this one scene where the bread was a picture of bread. Not animated. Not drawn. But like a stock photo they dropped into the scene. And that happens multiple times. Then there's the...

    Yeah, but this is probably something someone did because of THE MESSAGE (this time 'MEN CAN HAVE BABIES') rather than 'what crazy fucked up shit can we do this week?' or 'that's my fetish, how can we make it something interesting for [Superhero] to battle this week?' Edit: added 'it'

    The X-Men are supposed to be 'generic mcoppressed minority' particularly the blacks. Which is why people hate these people with in born superpowers instead of being excited their kid could be a superhero. Right? Makes total sense. Something, something, fear of something, fight racism. But that...

    Have you noticed that the white factions are getting their shit kicked in? Sun-Tsu did the reformations and the CC is the most powerful it's been ever with it's Blasian leaders, and the DC holds New Avalon with it's Boss Bitch holding the men at bay. While the Mariks continue to not fucking...
