Why is Far West interesting again, and why is Skarka more interesting than any other failed heartbreaking kickstarter? Honest question; I've kinda got him mixed up in my head with the pundit guy and other people like that.

Wait, why would I want to play myself in an RPG? I suck at everything. And even if I didn't, all of those post-apoc ideas sound like those "nothing to do but 'survive'" ones where the only happy ending is the one where you slash your own throat open in the pre apoc phase. And while noble doomed heroes is certainly viable (Polaris, Thou Art But A Warrior), that doesn't sound like the mood they want.

Besides, everybody knows that the interesting parts about post-apocalypses come well after whatever precipitated the end of stuff. That's why Fallout New Vegas is cool and, uh, RAGE is sad.

Bucnasti posted:Yeah I'd like to skip directly to the fire-breathing-hotrod and crossbow stage of the Post-apocalypse. I meant the "in what image shall we rebuild civilization" stage of the post-post-apocalypse. But I'm the weirdo who'd rather play in pre-apocalypse or post-post-apocalypse settings over straight apoc/post-apoc settings.

Bucnasti posted:If I was rebuilding civilization, it would be with fire breathing hot rods and crossbows. That's the RAGE way of rebuilding civilization. Just everybody playing in the rubble.  Effectronica posted:Zombies are at their most symbolic when they're devastating cities and the world instead of menacing people in cheap Italian flicks, so you're not really fighting the undead monster, you're fighting societal discord, consumerism, authoritarianism, etc. But you can get all of those things without zombies. In fact it'd probably be easier to highlight those themes without zombies, depending on if you're willing to set a game in, say, 1950s full Cold War paranoia USA and play the McCarthyism for all it's worth.

It's nice to see that the apocalypse won't damage our supplies of hair dye and peroxide. Though apparently it will massacre our underwear stocks. Also all of those look lame.

Bongo Bill posted:You talk about all this Disney stuff like it's supposed to be creepy, but to me it just sounds really impressive. I can see it both ways. I can understand logistically why you'd want tunnels underneath the park to move people and heavy equipment (because trying to drive them through a theme park crowd would be a pain), and giving plants specific "understudies" would be a big help when you need to identify which ones are damaged and need to be replaced, like labelling parts on a motor. But, yeah, I can see how practically controlling two cities through "the power of happiness~" could be a little offputting.

Just for clarity's sake, what are the big differences between the d20 OGL and, say, the FATE or GUMSHOE license? They seem pretty open.

It feels weird reading about FATE shovelware. Possibly because it makes me feel that my ideas are doomed to failure  (Even worse, the sorts of ideas I'd like to try to write up would probably be utterly tasteless to run. Oh well.)

Waffleman_ posted:You couldn't apply the Fate series to just any system. You'd need a system that's good for PvP, since that's what Fate basically is. Didn't someone try to make a Fate/Stay Night hack in FATE on this forum? I can't remember how it went, but I remember somebody tried. Maybe it'd be better in PbtA?

Hey, that's the wrong kickstarter! Spirit of '77 is somewhere else! (Weren't the seventies kinda...eh? I seem to remember something saying that a lot of the nihilistic moods of the 1980s had their roots in events and reactions in the 1970s.)

gradenko_2000 posted:He did not disallow the word 'wizard'? Actually, Gradenko, I think you're pretty uniquely suited to give him an answer (assuming he's asking in good faith, which he, well, might not be). You can draw comparisons to stuff like War in the Pacific and War in the East, which are also hypercomplex games whose subsystems can spectacularly self-destruct and whose fan base is pretty similar. Draw comparisons between things like WitP's ahistorically ineffective mines, WitE's non upgrading rifle squads, and D&D 5e's encounter design flaws, and the like.

RPZip posted:No, my friends, that will never be the verdict of our people. If they dare to come out in the open field and defend the grognard standard as a good thing, we will fight them to the uttermost. Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a grog standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of trad games this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of grognardism. Hey, William Jennings Bryan, good news, we're off the gold standard now. Bad news, evolution is the public education standard. Worse news, shouldn't you be dead?

You ever see a sports anime where someone in the group of friends joins the bigshot rival team, and the rest of the friends make their own team to win the big tournament and win their friend back? It's kinda like that. Mors Rattus posted:Which one is the one who tries to swim in any pool of water greater than ankle deep? I like that one. That's Haruka.

DocBubonic posted:What do you mean by artificial? I'm guessing either very carefully selected at the inception of the society, or populated by AIs, vat-grown humans, or something similar. No idea about the second. For the first you need only look at the Utopian community movement of the 19th century to see how well that works. There's a reason "utopia" as it is normally spelled is a pun on "good place" (which would be "Eutopia") and "no place". And to counteract that seriousness, what sort of bishies do you all prefer? Still vaguely masculine or CLAMP-style full on makeup and noodle arms?
