Can’t speak for most of these games but Bug Fables was awesome. I find nyself playing other games and thinking “bug fables did this better…”

Gamers love woke nonsense. 🤷

Well, I’m not going to pretend you don’t have a point. Anything popular enough is going to attract some sort of hate. But I’d argue that being woke is not enough to get your game review bombed.

no clue how you managed to condense all that into one paragraph. Degree in political science?

or the bloodborne ‘ping!’

I don’t think anyone’s going to tell you not to roleplay in dnd. I’m just wondering why you aren’t role-playing a character that wants to play with the characters your friends have made

one time my buddy was running a game of Monster of the Week and I came up with the most mundane character possible: a Wisconsin corn farmer named Pete Faber, competing with angels, demons, and the miscellaneous supernatural

I was definitely assuming this would be an opinion piece about young people saying “what do we think chat” and “victory royale” but, no, it’s actual research

Yeah, that’s how it goes. Glad you got out when you did.

what was your experience, if you don’t mind me asking? what game snared you?

A couple weeks ago, I had a (dnd 5e) barbarian who was supposed to wrestle some random fire shaman using a series of contested athletics checks. I had advantage due to raging, the Bless spell, and bardic inspiration, (and Powerful Build but that’s only thematically appropriate) and still failed three contests in a row, because the fire shaman never rolled under an 18. My DM just said, no flavor, “yeah this guy just beat you”.

ironically, the damage die for being poked by a d4 is way higher

here’s what you can expect

If I had to prop up sticks for a dog, I’d put em all diagonally planted into the ground so they could grab them easiest. Hard to pick up sticks that’re flat on the ground, and inconvenient for a dog to tilt their head to grab a totally vertical stick 🤔

Right, between that and them trying to change their license to give them full, unrestricted access to any intellectual property made with D&D, a lot of people decided they were ready to move on from the ruleset

“yeah I had a bad experience when someone was recommending this ruleset, so I’ll stick with the game they said was less tolerant just to prove a point”

Hasbro isn’t worth your loyalty, you know

They’re trying to save you from Pinkerton agents being sent to your house

what’s next, let’s disclose if you used an IDE instead of just the built in windows Notepad?

don’t worry, Windows has already added AI to Notepad

What the hell am I supposed to play now?? Football Manager 2024?
