D&D "roleplaying":

>Okay, I attack.
>Don't forget your +2 modifier because you're raging.
>Hey, my Aura of Assistance gives him +1d6 damage, correct?
>Right, yes, okay, 24, that should hit-
>Wait, you get disadvantage because of the mage's Nightmare Field.
>Ughhhh okay, I will spend my Action Surge to try again.
>Just a moment, I need to calculate his AC, it's affected by his Rod of Wonder

Dungeon World:

>I leap across the chasm, my hands clasping the amulet granting me the power of flight, and plant it straight into the evil mage's face
>Okay, looks like a fairly difficult Hack and Slash move to me, go on and roll

But Dungeon World is the shitty game, right?

Fuck off you fucking shill

Dungeon world is shit

You are shit

In my system, you always roll a d6 and succeed on 3 or lower for anything you do. Clearly, my system is better than dungeon world, right OP?

Its cool you sort of learned from last thread and tried to fix your bait, but damn dooder. Get it together.

>>51695134
What do you have against dungeon world anyway? You seem hellbent on getting everyone on this board to hate it by association.
>>
>>51695299
Nothing? If you hate it by association, that is only because you are being forced to confront the uncomfortable truth that Dungeons and Dragons is a shitty game and always has been. It's complexity merely detracts from enjoyment because it does not know how to create interesting benefits rather than a horde of bonuses, maluses, and advantage/disadvantage crap. It also piles on a shitton of shitty abilities that do not contribute at all to the story, merely to your character's killing power, which at best causes the DM to adjust encounter difficulty to match your powergaming. The entire game is built around being as powerful as possible, rather than telling a story, and that is why Dungeon World would always be superior: it is superior in it's goals and implementation, right down to the core crux and conceit of the game.

Describe in detail the last game of dungeon world, including rules used, that you actually played.

How about you describe in detail the last game of Dungeons & Dragons that you played? Make sure to tell me all about the riveting +2 modifiers and how without them you couldn't have possibly told a compelling story!

the story is but one component of RPGs and everyone who fetishizes it, is a jerk. or a shill (storygames need a PR shtick after all and neckbeards are ripe marketing victins).

Currently running a game using Dungeon World. OP is a nigger.

Have tried DW for a few sessions. Was ok, but not really my cup of tea. Don't let OP discourage you from checking it out if a rules-lite narrative version of DnD sounds like your thing.

Is there a middle ground? PLEASE tell me there's a middle ground.
>>
>>51695848
It's a difficult place to reach. Personally I think lighter versions of stuff like GURPS or BRP gets close.
>>
>>51695848
yes, my upcoming RPG :^)
>>
>>51695848
Play a good game like FFG Star Wars or WoD instead.
>>
>>51695848

Yeah, OSR games.
>>
>>51695848
IMHO GURPS (with a few options, but not a bunch of them or overly heavy ones, added) fits into that perfect 'sweet spot' pretty well.
There are a ton of systems which fit that general description, though, so it's pretty much down to taste.
>>
>>51695848
I like 13th age
>>
>>51696044
Neither of those games are good, though. One is for hipsters with more money than sense, the other is for edgy teens who play only one RPG so they can ignore it's shitty mechanics and the fact that shooting a 9mm hits 90% of the time but only kills in one shot like 5% of the time.
>>
>>51696096
OSR games offer absolutely nothing. You cannot name one good or unique thing that they do that other RPGs do not.

Play Call of Cthulhu or Dark Heresy, depending on your preference in setting. Swords and sorcery is cancer. I've heard good things about Legends of the Wulin though I've never tried it myself, so maybe there's something there for fantasyfags?
>>
>>51699367
Hunter the Vigil is cool. I don't know a better system for playing vampire hunters in a modern setting, if you know one I'd really like to know your recommendation.
>>
>>51702385
Hipsters are basically the normalfags of tabletop gaming. So yes, they would gravitate toward a Star Wars RPG. It also provides "new and unique" dice mechanics through its 15 shekel special d8s that are required to enjoy this game's amazing degrees-of-success mechanic which absolutely no other RPGs on the face of this planet have.

How does that make any sense, or track to anything?

When you Start A DND5e Game, roll +Grognard. On a 10+, you and your group mod the game to fit your desires and have a pretty good time. On a 7-9, choose one:

> The group's enjoyment is downgraded from "pretty good" to "okay"
> You have to share with everyone why DnD5 is so great.
> You are cornered by fans of other games/editions and forced to listen to why their game is superior.

On a 6-, choose two from the 7-9 list. Also, your next campaign will be Pathfinder.
>>
>>51709774
When you Start a D&D 3.5 Game, roll +Grognard. On a 10+, you and your group get an enjoyable story worth sharing with others. On a 7-9, choose one:

>One of your players pulls out an image of an uncomfortably under-dressed popular anime character to use as a reference for what their character looks like.
>The party descends into in-fighting because one of your players decided to use the "Chaotic Neutral" alignment to justify being a total jerk to the rest of the party.
>One or more of your players used non-core rulebooks to make an overpowered character you can no longer reasonably challenge without wiping out the rest of the party.

On a 6-, one of your players removes their skin-mask to reveal that they are in fact Monte Cook, and promptly disintegrates all non-spellcasters in game.

I'm convinced that it's just a handful of anons (if not literally one guy) who's this anal about Star Wars' proprietary dice, especially since /tg/ gives Warhammer Fantasy RPG a pass despite having custom dice too. You can get FFG dice for so much cheaper if you're not buying directly from the retailer, and you even get a set with every starter box anyway.

I'll take specialized dice/cards any day over these "narrative, rules-lite" games that look like they were typed up in Word on someone's lunch break.

Dependant solely and totally on the GM and players. They are what makes the game good. Otherwise Rifts and D&D and WoD wouldn't exist anymore because all three are absolute shit games.

Sadly, DW is even more of a shit game.

Why has this terrible bait thread not been deleted? There's nothing of value in it.

>>51711294
The mods don't actually know ANYTHING about traditional games. Given their unfamiliarity with the topic, they're hesitant and unsure about whether or not it's actually bait or just a contentious topic, and err on the side of doing nothing.

It's not that, it's that Mods don't care about the OP so much as they care about the results, and bait threads always tend to veer off into some discussion or other, which is the point of having threads. I'm

The logical course of action is to post so much random bullshit the thread either completely de-rails into something interesting, or it gets trashed.

This post is exactly why Trump should outlaw the letter Q so Sesame Street can stop pushing it's Alphabetist agenda on homeless Dachshunds and Purple Cucumbers. The establishment is telling my uncle to poison me with meds that make me think like them but I won't let them because Steve Irwin told me I'm the Chosen One, AND the Chosen Two. They can't catch me because of the wings Red Bull gives me for performing cunnilingus on Mr. Clean.
