Is there anything you can trust /tg/'s opinion on? Invariably,

At best they are phoneposters that just want to quickly reply between school/work and don't have the time to check things. At worst we have to deal with the fact that large portions of this board never played any traditional games and is just here to shitpost about things related to it.

There is a simple question used to find out the quality of a board.

Was the Eragon / Inheritance trilogy good or bad?

>>53039356
Nah, you can't trust /tg/'s opinion on anything.
We've reached the point in popularity where we can no longer be a unified culture, and instead are a bunch of warring groups, which means that literally every opinion will have a guy telling you that you are wrong.
Throw in contrarianism, and /tg/ is wrong about literally everything out of spite alone.

>>53039777
Muh sekrit klub. Muh board kultur. Get a load of yourselves. If you take anything on 4chan at face value, you deserve to be bamboozled.

>>53039837
See? /tg/ can't even be right about its own state, it has to be wrong about that too.

>>53039777
>we can no longer be a unified culture
/tg/ literally never was this.

>>53039356
75% of questions here are answered by three responses:
1. Talk to them like an adult
2. Read the god damn rules
3. Depends on the setting

Nearly everything else that is asked is a question about opinions, and 75% of those questions either have an obvious general consensus or are specifically designed to bait a flamewar.

There's literally no reason to answer seriously most of the time, so be happy that you only see about 30% of your answers be "stupid" opinions.

>>53039728
What's the correct answer?

>>53039356
It helps if you tune out the reflexive shitposters, like the ones who post single lines of greentext or pictures of laughing anime girls.

>>53039927
There was a point in /tg/ history that it may as well have been renamed /40k/

>>53040081
That was never the case. Even in the early days there were more D&D threads than 40k threads, and that has remained true to this day. 40k has even lost the 2nd position to MTG now.

>>53040098
You must have been on hiatus while I was posting regularly during that period. It was so bad that you could regularly count on all but one of the posts on the front page to be 40k related.

>>53039728
i read those as a teenager and they seemed good then. in hindsight they're probably trash. partly do to the fact that the author has a release schedule worse that george r.r. martin

>>53040054
Fucking bad.

Also, tg has a good opinion about Honor Harrington.

>>53039728
I was too old by then time they came out and never read them. The one scene I eventually saw of the movie only convinced me further to stay as far away from the books as possible and to never rewatch the film.

>>53040212
That's almost as bad as endorsing ISIS execution videos

>>53039356
I wouldn't trust /tg/ to take care of my goldfish.

>>53040236
Depends on the endorsement

>>53040236
Sorry, what I meant by good was "tg has a correct opinion, that it's piece of trash".

>>53040236
ISIS execution videos are at least entertaining.

>>53040347
Oh. Very good then.

>>53040236
They have really great special effects though

>>53040155
You must be the sort who has limited self-awareness and allows his fractional perception to define his world view.

In other words, you think it was mostly 40k because that's what you cared about.

>>53040019
75%? Try fucking 90% last 10% being balance of non d&d things/wip/color scheme things

Guys, it was both.

>>53039356
As with most RPG-related issues, it all comes down to 40kids and deeNdee-rones being really loud, obnoxious, and constantly talked about by NARPfags.

>>53039356
It's almost like we're a large group of people with varied opinions who can accept that other people might disagree with them, and while arguing is fun at the end of the day differences of opinion are fine.

>>53041236
get your reasonable statements out of here

>>53041198

Not to mention babies like you who hate those things so you go to every one of those threads to complain and shitpost.

>>53041079
And you're just a plain asshole.

>>53041128
fuck thats some nostalgia right there

>>53039356
The same can be said for many boards. There's a reasonable fraction of people who've never played a proper tabletop game here on /tg.

The number of people on /fa who can't come up with an original outfit, or the number of people on /fit who are out of shape might surprise you.

Just part of the breaks of being in the modern era where someone not having constant internet access would be more surprising than having it.

>>53039356
No. The prophecy requires us to disagree and thus reassure the future of the world.

But the honor harrington series was good popcorn-chomping space opera! Strong, STRONG emphasis on was.

David Weber has jumped the shark in a way few writers who aren't Terry Brooks or George R. R. Martin have managed, and I think that plays a big part why the safehold abomination he's currently pissing away his fanbase on is published by tor instead of baen. Eventually even baen got tired of his schlock.

Though I suspect the move away from baen has less to do with writing quality and more to do with the dozen-odd books he's contractually obligated to write for them that he's avoided doing for the last couple decades.
