I'd say no, considering that Cthulhu Pulp exists. They made a separate system that makes shotgunning and streamboating more expected and survivable. I think enough folks wanted scary terrible situations that are overcome with sleeve-rolling elbow grease. More Big Trouble in Little China than In...

Im currently using a Battletech fan made system that leans heavily on narrative aspects off the table to build a story around the battles. The interest was off the charts and we now have 22 players locally! Each month 2 players face off in a narrative they build together. Maybe, the govt force...

I think playstyle is important and the distinction of calling them opinionated isnt necessary. Part of the design evolution of RPGs is also the terms for folks to understand them. 20 years ago, understanding the difference between a generic do anything system like Savage Worlds was seen as the...

There is the first timer who is entirely too ambitious. They want to combine all their favorite games and systems into one frankenssteins monster of a system. Sadly, when this experience goes pear-shaped it often ends their design career.

If you make a + thread about pineapple, then you really cant ask folks if they dislike it can you?

Whats the next thread?

I live for the moment. If a character ends without an ending, that's fine by me, off to the next adventure. There have been a few concepts I haven't been able to bring to life, and those ill try again when the opportunity presents itself.

Somehow there is still walking dead spin-offs going. A literal zombie franchise.
