List of errata here: https://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1535922367380.pdf Honestly, the changes are not major. There were more significant changes made with the Vampire Companion, which have yet to be incorporated into the core rules. That is available for free on the www.worldofdarkness.com site if you...

I think part of the horror of the game derives from the social politics. In the default game, you are Neonates who are largely put upon and manipulated by vampires of higher social rank and experience, who act as their antagonists. This is as well as the grisly aspects of living a vampiric...

No apology. No discourse.

Which is always the point of concern from science fiction fans. However, as far as the RPG general public are concerned, the tropes of science fiction gaming are clear. It is the reason why games like Starfinder can find a market external to that of Pathfinder. Whether people like it or not, in...

Nope. You apologise first - then we’ll continue.

Yep. And for the point of an example, Paizo found it easy enough to establish the Starfinder game as a science fiction counterpoint to Pathfinder for fantasy.

Good. Now apologise. And, for the record, that was not the point of disagreement.

I’ve got that. Where is Planescape for 5E?

Having a protracted ramble, where you attempt to reinvent everything said on this thread, doesn’t make you right either. I have ‘liked’ other people's posts on the points they made, that you didn’t. Y’see, I don’t have to agree with everything others say to respect them. You may also want to...

Waffle, waffle....waffle. Where is Planescape?

Nope. You can’t spin your way out of it either. Your comments are here for all to see, you’ve been censured by a moderator and made a fool of yourself in the process. Have a better one, next time.

No. If you start arguing against dictionary definitions it means you’ve lost the argument. If you start resorting to argumentum ad verecundiam or ad hominem you’ve lost the argument. If you actually lost the argument but can’t admit it, you’ve lost the argument. You lost the argument.

I’d say the American Film Institute is a lot more authoritative on understanding genre than you are. So you want to reject dictionary definitions, authoritative bodies that get to define genres and frankly, any rational argument to stick rigidly to your views? Good luck with that superior...

Round and round we go. Tropes are precisely what defines a genre: Star Wars and Star Trek and Doctor Who are just as iconic as Tolkien is in the minds of the general public. In terms of an equivalent piece of literature to Lord of the Rings in science fiction, there is Dune. And Lord of the...

Traveller has been a game system with many separate settings - Judge Dredd, Strontium Dogg, Hammer’s Slammers, Mindjammer, 2300AD, and a number of diverse third party settings. The default setting for Traveller is the Third Imperium as with D&D’s Forgotten Realms. They are both pretty generic...

It’s not a false equivalence, it is double standards. You could break down every single fantasy sub-genre in exactly the way that you have chosen to do with the sub-genres with science fiction here. We have done this several times on this thread already. Here is a list of the Top 10 Fantasy...

And by the same token, swords and wizards are not required for something deemed to be of the fantasy genre. So why is the argument that there isn't a default setting for science fiction when there is for fantasy?

There is always one.

Well, even if that is the case (and I would say the variations in the fantasy genre are much broader), then why single out the science fiction genre as not having a default when it is the assumption with fantasy? They either both do or both don’t - from your own stance here.

All of them are closer to each other than Harry Potter is to Tolkien is to D&D.
