    Pulp RPGs General Thread [+]

    He put all his points into Charisma and Luck. That is not particularly accurate. Golden Age comics characters were often inspired by pulp heroes, for sure, but there was no concept of supers during the height of the pulp mags. It's not my fault. That Billy Zane movie completed wiped The...

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    This strikes me as arbitrary and would irritate me as a player.

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    Like I said before, I understand that is is an emotional attachment based on nostalgia and a bunch of other things. And I DO play Daggerheart as Daggerheart and love it. I was just trying to illustrate that a pretty significantly different 6E would still be D&D for me. Which is one of the...

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    I did not mean to ignore this, it just got away from me. Not too long ago we had a "what should 6E look like" thread and I went into more detail there, but broadly speaking I would like to see a focus on talent trees for characters instead of subclasses, a full mechanical embracing of...

    I think cooking is a much more apt analogy overall.

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    I was initially going to balk, but actually, that is pretty spot on.

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    I think the instrument vs music analogy breaks down way too easily to be useful for RPGs. So the rules are the instruments and the group is the jazz band. Fine. What are adventures? Sheet music? What are APs and advice videos and other RPG ephemera that aren't strictly "rule books" yet still...

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    This supposes that "D&D" being on the cover does not matter. For many, it in fact does.

    The Shadow. Doc Savage. The Sp;ider. Even Indiana Jones. These are not "ordinary people."

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    Daggerheart's great strength is that it liberally borrows from a lot of games to create something that is simultaneously new feeling and comfy.

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    The excluded middle, it burns. The question is about whether you would be inclined to a notably different version of D&D despite a clearly successful and (as far as D&D editions go) venerable -- not to mention EXTREMELY well supported by 3PPs -- edition in 5E is still going strong. I don't...

    Innovation can be how a thing is built from elements others pioneered, too.

    General video game discussion

    I played early in its life for maybe 2 years? I never joined a guild or anything like that. I would team up with my brother and the occasional rando but otherwise treated it like a single player game. For a long time I would resub for new expansions but eventually got disillusioned that the...

    It was rhetorical. I was saying that it IS NOT somehow worse to wish for a new version of D&D even though people like the current one, than the reverse.
