Gamma World is that D&D4e meets Fallout setting, right? I think I had a chance to try it once for a superhero-type game.

Also someone who uses a "$" as a substitute for an "s" sounds...ta$tele$$.

Gamma World was also a 1978 roleplaying game by E. Gary Gygax which touched on these kinds of themes long before they were trendy. It's been published in various forms since then, though I don't know if any of them were good besides the latest one. Anyone played them?

If their poor combat rolls have consistently been *the* thing keeping them from participating in the game, and if it's happening with another player too, I kind of feel like that's less a poor luck problem and more a 'yo maybe this DM should give them opportunities to participate that don't involve stabbin' stuff a bunch and it is a Warning Sign if the DM is simply like WELP TOO BAD' problem

Though if combat's what you're there for idk what to tell you.

really idk in general the whole of my experience with D&D is playing a pixie barbarian in a 4e game with something like ten players that selfdestructed like 2-3 sessions in :ohdear:

This, yes. I mean, I could elaborate if this isn't enough for you, but it really should be.

okay this thread is now about being an anime but like not gross and longwinded and Too Anime like exalted

let's talk about anime elfgames that don't have weird gross rapewizard poo poo or ~~~~~~~~~~~ravishing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ or w/e

i'd be like GOLLY HOW BOUT WE SHARE OUR FIRST EXPERIENCES WITH ANIME-THEMED ELFGAMES bc ~inspired~ by the LESSER JUNEY-COME-LATELY CHAT THREAD but not sure if good idea help

I don't think 'too anime' is Exalted's problem. I'd like Exalted more if everything were like this, though.

Look at you, fighter: a pathetic creature of randomly generated statistics and proficiencies. Who are you to challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

Among your countless number, none shall sing by their own capability, but instead by the will of a world's god or the roll of a die. Fated to roll and fight, forever, eternally, until that very god grants you the boon of attention and usefulness - if they ever do.

Ten to the power of eighty fighters...and in the end, they are all the same.

Do they pant and sweat as they run through 10 foot corridors? Is it your will that gave them their magic items, the only value in that fluff they call a character sheet?

If god says you don't get magic items, you don't get them. They'll probably tell you this is a realistic world where magic items don't just happen, but reality is theirs. It's a poor god who chooses to make life less interesting.

Perhaps they'll dole them out, like little breadcrumbs, to fuel your little hunt across those ten-foot corridors, their tongue panting, desperate for any little drink of power you can give them. With enough reward in mind, they will suffer any indignity for the sake of that little taste of usefulness and interest, and in the end, their will is yours to command, with just the slightest promise of power. Conditioned, so easily, to follow your every whim.

Until, of course, they find out their friend who was giving them all these tips is none other than the final boss.

...hmmm. Perhaps boring fuckboy fighters are interesting after all! :h:

Doesn't Plutonis regularly frequent parts of Something Awful that are even worse with regards to casual vitriol and/or bad grammar, though? You'd think he'd be a bit more inoculated to our benign strain of the virus.

My first elfanimegame was a BESM 2nd edition game run by a grognard who had his own unique anime version of the "girlfriend in canada" thing; his super-awesome wife who was a medical student and also a trained martial artist, and her family owned a big estate in Japan. Every time he had a GMPC, it was in some way his self-insert, and he insisted on having a second GMPC to represent his Japanese doctor martial artist wife except coincidentally he'd be playing that GMPC as well (also he was a retired Army ranger who was required by the terms of his discharge to carry a firearm with him wherever he went so evil communists couldn't kidnap him and steal the knowledge in his mind).

It lasted about five sessions. I played a Lensman.
