I understand that it can happen (that a fight be steamrolled). I wasn't under the impression that it was assumed to be a common occurance. I agree that 40k does Grimdark well. If what is meant by "Grimdark" is just putting an edge-lord paint job on everything, I'm probably not the target...

Maybe I don't get what people mean by "grimdark." When the in-world problems are presented as serious while simultaneously also being steamrolled as a regular thing, that creates cognitive dissonance for me -and it's difficult for me to buy into a serious tone. FWIW, I also have similar...

Maybe I don't understand what is intended with "grimdark." To me, if the setting fluff is presenting challenges as being serious, but the mechanics regularly lead to those challenges being trivial, that's difficult for me to take seriously.

Others have said it already, but GURPS.

I think, as a game that is part storytelling and part game, there is an element of art via cooperative storytelling built into the experience. As such, "official" aesthetic choices tend to influence the actual meat of the game and the vision of the game throughout the cycle of an edition...

I think that's partially true because the tone implied by "grimdark" can be difficult to take seriously when combined with certain approaches to gameplay and power levels. Certainly, there are people who can pull it off. Warhammer 40k embraces the gonzo elements of the setting and it mostly...

Pro Wrestling

Multiclassing Feats seem cool, but there aren't enough slots to make picking them better than ASIs in many cases. I'd kinda miss magic items, but that still impacts my character less than leveling.

Vehicles and Mounts

I don't necessarily think the cards are a bad idea. It works for Munchkin. I could see a similar idea working for a ttrpg. My earlier comments were mostly bringing up that such a thing could be an avenue for a business to make money during a time when selling books may be tougher...

Not for me either, but if a company were to condition an audience to expect those things as part of the experience...

Certainly, speculative. Though, I'd say that it seems less implausible than others said it would be in the last discussion about Cocks.

Sure, but they were most often sold as accessories, not a central gateway into the game. This is potentially a new opening through which Cocks can penetrate the market.

The concept I talked about in a previous thread was to link physical products to digital by having some way to scan minis/cards/whatever and unlock the same item's digital model. Drives more people to subscribe to the digital platform while retaining incentives to buy physical product Over...

I could see how it might change how people approach the game and what people expect from a game experience. Though, if I can touch upon an idea I mentioned in a previous thread (for which I was called crazy,) I could see a scenario in which cards and components are part of the sales model going...

The games I play have come full circle. D&D ---> Munchkin ---> D&D

Red Hand of Doom

My pitch: •XCrawl tv-show that Is planned for 2 seasons and 3 movies (with two movies serving as the end cap of each season and one extra movie as a special event). •The tent posts of tone would be a little bit Twisted Metal; a little bit Running Man; a little bit Generation V; and a little bit...

I had mentioned this in one of the GURPS threads. It's a good window into how a familiar adventure may go when powered by a different engine.

I just got mine slot a week or so ago. A friend of mine enjoyed reading through the creature entries so much that he went home and ordered the D&D 5E version.
