As much as I like playing games I like talking about them, probably a pretty universal trait in most of us.
However am I the only one that finds a gaming community can really sour you on even your favourite game?
I dropped out of a discord recently for a game I absolutely love because a bunch...
Mythras as well talked about as it is here is largely unjustly unrecognised in the broader community. And gods yes a larger font please! I’ll repeat thar a thousand times (my poor eyes)!
This is so true, there was a lot of crap not just D&D.
Not sure I agree with all points made but it'll be interesting to see if this newer open era of RPG's brings a boom or a bust.
Well thats why I also say better systems. I think the one argument I don’t hear is that other game studio’s probably wouldn’t have licensing if it wasn’t for the OGL.
Examples, honestly 90% of the settings/games being published or Kickstarted for 5e would have been better off with another...
Not trying to move the goalposts just a follow on thought.
I see a lot of settings that could have been tied to better systems, are only a whisker away from being new systems and wonder if the creators would have made better choices if they had had no choice to use the OGL.
A truly valid point of view. Although I will note that all the current OGL has done is perpetuate more shite so I’m not sure it was to the consumer advantage.
Perhaps an age of truly open licensing across good systems might be something to look forward to.
In all the furore is it possible the death of the OGL could be a good thing.
Apart from reducing the amount of D&D crap could we see more creative new systems or better systems being used for games.
@CRKrueger Reign 2e is a tidy up and reorganisation of 1e for the most part, additional settings will come out with the Realities supplement (insert piss myself laughing emoji).
I’m a big fan of Reign, minus the rage caused by piss poor management of the KS. and the main two books are well...
Because by god, people (who haven’t read the book or possibly even heard of Polynesia) have found a leader, soapbox and foghorn to signal their virtue and want answers and TDM damn well better give them or TDM will be as guilty as the guys from WW2 of racist atrocities and sent to Nuremberg for...
You won’t find it taught much anywhere west of India/Pakistan, the culprits like to pretend their ‘occupation‘ of India was of great benefit and partition was simply a cherry on the top of a cake (problem) they baked.
