guess it's not going to happen, is it?

Odds are low.
Also, I still haven't checked out fifth edition, so I can't really comment.

>>50628171
You can still talk about campaigns or one-shots you did in another edition

I have the english version of 5th edition. It looks pretty cool. I would love to play in a game. Too bad everything else is in Nazi.

>>50628207
they are translating everything right now
In my share, there is additional material

>shitty generic system
>the world is golarion deutsche edition
>metaplot wank

Only reason to play this crap outside Germany (where you might no have a better option) is because you're some sort of Germanboo.

>>50628253
even in Germany, many people play DnD

>>50627765
Does the OP image look... suggestive to somebody else or is it just me?

>>50628256
Well maybe the system would get more attention in Germany if it were available in Arabic.

>>50628291
Don't get me wrong, the Dark Eye is played in Germany. Normally it boils down to the roleplaying community in a city chosing to either play DnD or DE exclusively

>>50628308
>the roleplaying community in a city
>chosing to either play DnD or DE exclusively

Why are Germans such collectivists?

>>50628398
Well, big cities like Berlin are of course an exception, we're talking smaller than 500k inhabitants here

>>50627964
It lacks a certain exoticism I want from fantasy. Feels like strolling over to the castle fair next door.

>>50628563
Well, it basically is the HRE with countries with different aspects of European nations surrounding it. Add a few fantasy elements and there you have it.

The Iconic mage for 5th is a token Arab.

I think a lot of it has to do with Old School Grognards vs Newcomers. In the 80's, DSA was the only game in town. D&D wasn't available in German.

Now that he newer editions of D&D are being translated into German, many newcomers are getting their first taste of rolplaying from D&D and the old school DSA Grognards are starting to feel like "their" space is being threatened.

>>50628759
I bet its a "refugees"

>>50627765
Fuck yeah DE. I've been interested in this system since playing the Drakensang games for PC. I already have the core book, the bestiary is on the way. Too bad the Gazeteer isn't out yet.

I rather like the system. It reminds me of a version of AD&D that addresses many of the issues I have with D&D in general. Especially Hit point bloat and restrictive character classes.

>>50628253
system is fucking great.
Tbh, i don`t now about 5th, i played 4th edition.

>>50627765
Can I make a mage that can one-shots living creatures in a single spell, in this game?

>>50628759
>>50628865
Ironically the arabs of that setting, aside from one small sub culture, worship the same gods as the "europeans" do.

>>50628256
I'd say more people play Shadowrun there.

>>50629387
Also the "arabs" of the setting are gender egalitarians.

>>50629545
That too. Though no shortage of harem babes either.
It's like they took all the nice things of Arabs and left out most of the shit stuff.

>>50627765
>tfw no qt magical girl (male) gf with a flaming volcano cock

Actually, i'm playing TDE right now.

>>50629902
Then stop browsing the internets and focus on the damn game, geez, you people are the worst!

>>50627765
Is there a link to the English translation? the books in the link seem to all be in German

>>50629387
How is that ironic? Arab Christians are a huge part of the population, and even Muslims technically worship the same god, just in a very different way.

>>50629634
Well Arabs in medieval times were the most civilized society but with slaves.

>>50629952
We had a (sort of) break while the mages in our party searched their books for the spell they couldn’t seem to remember. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>50628256
not really

I fucking love DSA, currently trying to get a few people on Roll20 together. Sadly not many german players are using it and the rest of the world is rather playing other systems.

DSA has such a great focus on low fantasy roleplay intensive smaller stories that together form and change the metaplot.

>>50629297
Depends what creatures we're talking about but probably not, no. Magic is a lot more utility focused in DSA. It's also not as "high" magic as your typical DnD setting and therfore much more grounded in a realistic way.
