The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[CleverNickName]

It was much easier in the old days when magic items were actually seen as cool extras rather than expected rewards.

Yep. One of the main reasons I stopped playing 5E. It’s superhero fantasy and the players expect that. I’d be fine running superhero fantasy with a system designed to do it. 5E is way too fiddly for that style of game. I vastly prefer TSR D&D, OSR, and NuSR games. The players learn real quick to run or roll up a new character.

Yeah. The good old days where gaining power meant actually going out and adventuring.

I don't see myself stopping 5E anytime soon, but I do run the occasional game of red-box Basic D&D. (I don't run OSR, I run OS.) It helps me remember what D&D used to be like, and gives me ideas of how I can bring that red-box feel to my 5E games. Don't get me wrong, I think it's cool how the hobby has evolved over the years and I really appreciate the streamlined math and mechanics...but even so, I don't want to lose my connection to that pimply-faced, socially-awkward teenager who just wanted to tell stories about dragons and haunted castles.

Listen, those players wouldn't bother me if they got off of my lawn occasionally...

At least they're out in the open air and not in your basement.

I'll happily play bop it with Vader but not with The Child

My favourite kind of threads are ones where posters explore worldbuilding aspects or revisiting how magic may function in the world differently to the norm.

Company: We are going to make a sequel to an actual play promoting our game.

Me: Okay.

Company: There'll be a Kickstarter coming soon to fund the production!

Me: You want me fund an advertisement for one of the largest roleplaying games by one of the largest roleplaying publishers?


Company: We are smart and cool.

Zuckerbot is a Jiu Jitsu medal winner. Musk kinda, sorta took some Jiu Jitsu classes a couple of years ago and did some MA as a kid. I expect if it ever happens (which is unlikely as Musk just likes to run his mouth), I expect Zuckerbot would wipe the floor with him/
