So I'm watching Slayers, I thought it was set in like some

>>147164349

Because you are taking the show too seriously.

The entire thing is anachronistic as fuck, largely during the filler episodes (Though they are using magical lighting in the case that you pointed out, as lighting is a spell that pretty much anyone can cast). The LNs are far less outrageous in that sense, but you still have guys like Gaav wearing trenchcoats because lolshapeshifting.

I'm not trying to, I know its light hearted and comedic, but I didn't realize it would be loose with its setting to that degree.

So that's how that cloth is supposed to work. I always assumed that it was connected to the yellow one on her chest.

No one actually discusses the plot anymore, post more Lina

>>147164761
Are you retarded? There's no "have you ever noticed" here, the whole thing is blatantly anachronistic and silly.

>>147164602
Is that supposed to cover like a crotchless part of her leggings so she can piss in the forest without having to strip?

>>147164761

I never said that you blithering retard. I only said that OP was taking it too seriously.

>>147165060
I think it's supposed to cover camel toe

People are forgetting Slayers is based off of a DnD game. People are forgetting it was written about a bunch of nerds playing a game.

People need to calm the fuck down about "HOW DO THIS SHIT WORK" and "PANTIES DON'T WORK THAT WAY".

>>147165386
Is it really? Like Chaos Dragon?

>>147165060
>It's a literal piss rag
Everything makes sense now

why does lina fanart protray her as "cool" when shes just a brat in reality?

>>147165498
More like a parody of D&D than anything, but yes. Lodoss and Chaos Dragon were straight adaptions of a campaign, whereas only some ideas that became part of Slayers were developed that way.

>>147165386
No it wasn't. That was record of lodoss war. Slayers wasn't based off anything in real life.

Which slayer would you fuck?

>>147166096
I want to fuck Gourry while Sylphiel is forced to watch

>>147166096
Gourry

>>147166096
Amelia. I'd like a Kamen Rider Waifu.
I bet she'd love to snuggle as we watched Kamen Rider every week.

>>147166074

You are correct. I had my sources wrong.

>>147166191
:3

>>147166074
I know this is true, but I feel like Slayers is a far more accurate depiction of what DnD is actually like than Lodoss

>>147166257
It's ideals vs. reality. The murderhobo bullshit with the party caring very little about the towns they destroy on the way hits too close to home.

>>147166257
Yeah I agree with that.
No campaign ever runs like Lodoss. Nearly every campaign (no matter what game) I've been in or run turns out like Slayers. By which I mean wacky, over the top with tangents galore.

Its set in comedy land

>>147165386

I don't understand...does DnD have long drawn out stories? It's like they co-write a long story? Is there a winner of the game or what? So it's just a bunch of losers self inserting to some made up shit like a bad fanfiction but public?

>>147166763
It's pretty much playing make believe around the table, though the span of time depends on what type of campaign you are running (I just finished one that went for a year and a half, and plenty play shorter and longer games). It is an enjoyable experience if you have good people to play with.

So yeah, what you said is entirely accurate.

>>147166763
>Is there a winner of the game or what?

You had me going until this piece of b8.

>>147166763
DnD games can literally last years.

This thread makes me want to find a new tabletop group, the GM for my last one had to take a break for like half a year.

>>147166887
I've wanted to find a tabletop group for a long time.
But for Call of Cthulhu not D&D. D&D hasn't been good since the 80s

Email? Maybe we could slowly grab up more people, I'm up for playing whatever.

>>147167004
I know how you feel. I am sick of most of the modern version of D&D as my friends refuse to play anything else, so I am struggling to find people to play a D&D B/X clone with online.

>>147167090
That depends. Do you live in Maryland?

What the fuck. So they're cowriting an entire shitty novel? ...Why not just write one on your own, what's the point of D and D?

I really like both Slayers and Lodoss but I don't get this D and D stuff.

>>147167542
You have to be 18 to post on this board kid.

>>147167542
Pretty much. You have a bunch of people follow some basic plot that you lay out, and let them do decision making, roleplaying, fighting and such until you decide that the story reaches its natural conclusion. In the case of Lodoss and Chaos Dragon, a D&D game was adapted to a shitty novel then an anime.

I would strongly recommend against using those threads at all. As with most online listing services, you are going to be playing with terrible individuals.

>>147171318
I've been RPing with people for 30 years and maybe 5% of the groups I've been with had not-terrible people.
Online listings or real life word-of-mouth, you'll get shit either way.

If you think that's crazy, wait until you see Gintama.

>slayers
the aqua lord manga is probably the best incarnation of the series I've seen. I heard that the light novels get really serious and I can't read them. Dropped the earlier animes because they got way too stupid.

>>147166318
>The murderhobo bullshit with the party caring very little about the towns they destroy on the way hits too close to home.
People actually do this? That sounds kinda boring. I thought the fun was supposed to be in interacting with the world, not acting without respect to it.

>>147174235

You've clearly never played D&D before.
