7 looks so damn good. Excited to see them trying new things.

I have absolutely zero interest in unilaterally designing a setting as a GM. I tried, it was boring. Now we all make the settings up as a group, let things change or develop as necessary, and bam, everyone is more engaged, one person doesn't need to take on the role of Designing Everything...

Kickstarter community head quits, apologizes for controversial RPG project Considering the last time Luke told a bunch of people that Koebel was 100% definitely not involved in something.... not much confidence in the project here!

I think even in games where they work fine, they're definitely ugly. Such an ordeal to sift through.

You can walk across the frozen water because you can walk across frozen water. Why would there NEED to be a rule about that? It's like making a rule about how you can't get nutrition by eating rocks.

People basically only ever talk about the video game-type magic system when they discuss his books. I'd read a billion posts about how cool his magic was for years and it took physically picking up a copy of Mistborn to learn that it's a heist story about a wizard dude named Kelsier. People...

They're hoping to get it out like the remastered Beginner's Box afaik - an update to the PDF without having to make people buy the second one.

The Delta Test was soooo cool. Can't wait to pick up the final release when I've got the spare cash.

Really boring name, but at least it's not named after himself I guess? This really does make it sound like it's a game about like, Errol Flynn style swashbuckling or arena combat, and not at all the General DnD-esque Gameplay Milieu that it is.

A good example of how this really does just mostly come down to pure opinion - for me and my players, this helps us get more invested in everything!

The less big-ass lists in a game book, the better. The best magic "systems" are where you just do whatever it is you're doing and say it's magic-related.

There's plenty of great sports RPGs. Full Court is a thing of beauty, Gravity RIP has the best racing mechanics I've ever seen. Also, yes, RPGs, being fiction, are hard to make non-fiction (which is not a genre).

Yeah, god forbid people in a group support each other, huh? Good thing that's not the foundation of society or anything.

Yeah, most people are in fact able to able to have normal conversations with other people. I hope you can learn to do the same one day.

This still does not answer why you would rather insult anyone who isn't fitting your preconceived notions rather than having a mature conversation with them and perhaps coming to a compromise that makes you both happy, or perhaps understand them better. This seems like a pretty basic step of the...

You clearly like these "egotistical snowflakes" you claim to have so much experience with enough to have invited them to the game in the first place.I'm not sure why you would call your friends something like this. But also... yeah, that's why you have a mature conversation with that person...

Yes, the GM, as a player, is responsible for player gratification. So are all the other players at the table. Everyone in the group is responsible for having fun.

I'm genuinely astonished at how many people in this thread are bragging about refusing to have conversations with their players.

I think that generally Bloodtide's commentary should be understood through the lens that the majority of posts he makes on this forum are essays about how all players in his games are selfish greedy jerks. The details he shares about these rarely match up with one another or are consistent which...

I do think this thread is funny for not having many mentions of actual "New School R[enaissaince/evival/evisionist]" games like SWORDDREAM, Songbirds, Troika, or FIST - that is, games with the design philosophy invented by OSR (which does not seem to have much actual representation in historical...
