You know, having just finished the book, this is a surprisin

Selling games to SJWs is easy attention and as someone who hopes to get games published I fully intend to do it

It's not bad. It was before most of the SJW bullshit, so instead of most of that crap it's based around romantic fantasy and was aimed at "What if we made a D&D for women? What would we put into it?" and it actually wound up a pretty good setting.

the remake watered that down some and added more politics but it's still fine. Y'know, fine. Like any number of dozens of other RPGs that deserve about as much attention.

It's certainly better than the d20.
But Blue Rose isn't really selling the system, it's selling the rhetoric. And the rhetoric is poorly written propaganda.

My copy doesn't say anything about feminism...
Just Romantic Fantasy.
It was the precursor to True 20, which I enjoyed.
The art was nice. A bit whimsical but good for the subject matter. The setting had some issues, but no moreso than most others.
Overall, I think the setting and art style would have been better with a narrative system,more like second edition 7th Sea, but if one needs a d20 based game that is easy and rules light, one could do far worse.

What the fuck game are you even talking about?

I haven't gotten all the way through the PDF yet but I was a fan of the first edition, so I've been waiting for this a long time. Gorgeous art doesn't hurt. I've finally got a group that'd be down, too; my bestie's old art school buddy basically grew up on Lackey's Valdemar and Tamora Pierce's stuff. When the first edition was new I tried it with some high school friends who were more into, like, Warcraft, and despite them making a go of it it just wasn't a hit with them.

Has anyone tried this AGE system though? Is it good or am I better

You realize they just released a new edition, right?

Blue Rose?

I think it's a new (remade?) setting that Green Ronin is putting out for their Fantasy Age system which means it's fucking garbage.

But as someone playing a long fage game with a dm who's not very open to homebrewing it to make it less shit, I'm interesting if only for new arcanas and specializations. No idea what's in the book tho

thanks op, and yea idk there's nothing wrong with different stuff, tho I'm a chick so I'm probably more tolerant of feminism. The Onyx Path stuff can get a little preachy, but I don't totally hate the inclusion of that shit since the original market of wod was a gothy alternative sort of scene, right? It's not that weird for the modern version of that to try to be progressive, is it?


But yea, thanks for the link. The art looks good, at the very least. Excited to read it and see what's up. Romantic Fantasy sounds pretty at least.

The game is Blue Rose, the setting was divisive and controversial among some groups of grognards. The rule set was well received though and eventually came out as the setting less True20.

Honestly never really had any issues with it either.

Any game where non-anthropomorphic dolphin knight is a valid character concept is ok in my books.

I want to play a dolphin ranger/explorer, who sees dry land as a frontier to explore. Imagine trying to climb Everest as a psychic dolphin, you know?

Me again, thanks OP for the book this has a lot of new rules that are great. The relationship intensity stuff sounds really fun, my in-game heterolifemate and I are gonna get so many +2's.

Bad luck to you, anon

Risky business model. If they find out you're just a(n I assume) straight white male oppressor-type guy pandering to them for money they'll just hate it even more.

The SJW trend seems to be swinging away from demanding more token minorities in mainstream shit to hating on whites who try to portray other cultures for "appropriation", "misrepresentation", etc. Blizzard can get away with it despite being mostly a bunch of creepy white dudes since they already had a huge international fanbase to begin with and can be seen as trying to accommodate the people who play their games anyway. Or something, I dunno.
