I get the feeling that some people will always complain if PCs have to face the logical consequences of their actions. There’s no point arguing about it endlessly. For some the point of RPGs is to have a power fantasy in a consequence-free space. After watching the scene 4-5 times now, it’s...

If you pick this one up and dig it, there's also another game that uses the same system called Lair of the Leopard Empresses. It's billed as a "superheroic sword & sorcery" RPG and it's by Sarah Newton of Mindjammer Press. There are some changes and updates to the mechanics. I'm not well-versed...

Too bad you won't be there for a sumo tournament. Catching one of those live and in person is definitely on my bucket list.

Yep. Happens every time.

I’m not sure empathy is the right word either. But I know what you’re getting at. Check out Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. You have to fulfill your basic needs before you worry about “higher needs” and the basic needs of others. If you have to tighten your belt a little to help a neighbor, you...

Yeah. And some of those points of light might sell you out for just the right price. That would be some tasty RP.

Here’s a thorough explanation of the meme.

Sometimes people talk about different eras in RPGs as "Golden Ages" for the hobby. In some ways, the birth of the hobby was a Golden Age as immediately after the release of OD&D dozens of other games were released and the hobby blossomed. Another Golden Age could be the Satanic Panic as it...

Unrelated. A: "Hey, you wanna play 5E with us?" B: "No thanks. It's not my thing. Have fun though." A: "How dare you betray us like this!?" B: "If you'd been that dramatic in the last game maybe there'd be a next one." A: "..."

Exactly. Then to integrate “AI” into the core of the computer...F everything about that.

There's a thread on here about the topic. Lots of varied opinions. https://www.enworld.org/threads/warhammer-frpg-2e-vs-4e.683997/

That I can agree with.

I think it comes down to empathy. It’s not as widespread as we seem to think. It seemingly ebbs and flows. Those with empathy ascend, do some good, then those without empathy ascend and tear it all down. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I think the problem is fairly obvious. The casuals and theater kids aren't causing balance problems because of the design. The power gamers are trying to break the game and win during character creation. That's the problem. You can solve it one of three ways. One, don't play with them. Two, play...

Want your world to feel real. It's simple. Just keep this one thing in mind… “People who have power tend to abuse the people who don’t.” —Leonard Boyarsky

Exactly. Just because we’ve invented various patches or crutches to mitigate the problem doesn’t mean the problem never existed or has been fixed.

Quite the opposite. I’d vastly prefer to play 2E. But the majority wants whatever’s new and shiny. So if I want to actually play WFRP instead of just collect books that collect dust, I have to keep current.

Focusing fire isn’t a new concept. It’s made explicit in the 4E Player’s Strategy Guide. And has been common practice at tables with people who play boardgames, wargames, and video games since the beginning. It’s more surprising to me that this is somehow new to people as it’s been a thing since...

Exactly. Use the right tool for the right job. It's not meant for hitting 1-2 big bags of hit points, it's meant for quickly clearing the room of minions...and it's amazing for that.
