Krugs looks at my post. Takes extreme position and tries to prove me wrong. Ignores facts when convenient. Typical stalking. Nothing new.Yeah, NWoD never made any money. Neither did FFG Star Wars. D&D5e tanked because it wasn’t 0-3. PbtA and Fate haven’t ushered in a new wave of different types of RPGs. Catalyst doomed themselves to bankruptcy when they completely changed the Shadowrun system in 4th and then did it again in 5th. People hated WFRP2.
Oh wait...never mind. You’re just provably wrong.
But let's play nice and see where you're incorrect. First, NWoD. Are you ACTUALLY claiming that WW completely changed the basics of the system? Cuz, my books say: No. In fact, they're pretty similar. So much so, that most of those players seem satisfied with it. So, incorrect statement one.
FFG Star Wars gets a pass, because it's STAR WARS, it is a MASSIVE property, one of the largest in the world. It's why it's taking Disney three films instead of just one to sink the franchise, and it might not be completely dead yet. And the game still gets a fair amount of push back because of the system. However, this one was always going to do well for a while, the setting wins people over, sometimes that enough to get people to overlook what they don't like.
It's clear you don't play D&D, like ever, because if you did, you'd know that 5e is a rehash of all the parts of 0-3e, with some 4e thrown in. But it's feels a lot like the older editions. In fact, quite a few statements have been made about how it feels like it's an older version, but better. Incorrect statement two.
Shadowrun still uses the same basic dice pool system that it started out with, just streamlined it over the years. Incorrect statement three.
I don't know WFRP at all, because crapsack settings bore me. But I hear it's HUGE in other parts of the world, which like Star Wars would likely give it a pass, even if the rules were nonsensical and arbitrary.
Want to try again?
