bewilderment posted:Thoughts on a combined thread for 'tactical combat RPGs'? I've played a few of these (LANCER, PF2e, D&D4e) and I think the problem here would be that learning each one of these is a significant investment and I doubt that the people interested in one or two of these will be interested in the posts about the other. I'd be interested in, like, a Let's Read series that compares and contrasts these, though.

I wouldn't put a kibosh on such a thread, but it's a fair point that I'm nut sure a lot of people play multiples of those games or want to discuss all of them in one thread? But then again a thread could just be like some guidance comparing/contrasting them like Megazver suggested. You could ask if there's interest in such a thing in the various threads like the Lancer thread?

What's your guy's thoughts on a creative brainstorming thread? Like a thread that goes across all systems for TTRPGS where you can ask for creative advice and share ideas/maps/stories etc. for your setting or other creative activities?

Warhammer Fantasy Battles is gone, replaced by Age of Sigmar, which is not really a unit maneuver battle game, so some folks moved to Mantic's Kings of War, although that thread is basically dead these days.

WHFB is on a weird kind of pause until its return "soon." GW has announced The Old World, but been very tight lipped about it. If Horus Heresy is anything to go by, we can safely expect a very satisfying WHFB: greatest hits edition. This won't satisfy everybody, because gamers cannot be satisfied. You'll absolutely find more discussion once TOW drops.

So generating AI art for characters in our games, etc, has come up in the art thread and people have agreed that the art thread should be kept for art by actual human artists, but is there any more interest for a thread where we post art we've generated for our games, discuss prompts, etc?

Leperflesh posted:Yess. Go for it, I like that. It’s probably time someone posts a new version of the art thread. It was never super high traffic, and I always tried to keep the links in the OP current and not dead, but enough time has passed that someone might wanna do the needful. If they do, please steal as much or as little from the OP as possible, including the links. I’m never deleting those imgur pictures, so no worries there. One of those images even got made into a couple of gangtags! (Thai cuisine white wolf one) Or not. Whatever. I’m not your DM.

I posted this in the FFG Star Wars RPG thread already, but I'm looking for a more generic Star Wars roleplaying thread. I've just started GMing my first ever (player or gamemaster) Star Wars D6 game, something I've wanted to do for 29 years now. Is this something I should start a new thread for? Is there any interest in this 30 year old system here?

Yeah I think that thread is going to be default the star wars roleplaying game thread where people who play star wars hang out. A lot of them played previous editions. If oldwars chat becomes very common in that thread, feel free to make a breakout thread for it, but for example generic dungeons and dragons chat basically winds up in the 5e D&D thread mostly.

I'm curious about the world of erotic game / their design trends was wondering if there would be interest in a thread about the subject. I don't really know anything about them though so I probably wouldn't be the ideal OP.

I don't want to dismiss it out of hand, but it sounds like an uphill battle. It's the kind of thing people do not want to admit to knowing a lot about. So I predict the majority of posts would just be mocking the handful of users who "revealed their power level" by writing an informative OP or trying to have a constructive discussion.

There are sex threads on the forums that are informative and earnest. Worst case someone gets a bit of red text and the OP closes it if it goes off the rails, right?

I don't think there's anything to know other than that Book of Erotic Fantasy was a D20 embarrassment and everybody I know just kinda awkwardly glossed over the Sex Moves in apocalypse world. Sex and eroticism is a third rail for a lot of peer groups, not out of prude Tipper Gore pearl-clutching but more out of practically. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong and gently caress dungeons where you talk about banging your friends' characters are the next OSR.

Unfortunately some segment of "erotic game" actually translates to "game with some extremely problematic poo poo, positioned as 'erotic' as an excuse or veneer". However I have seen e.g. "games for lovers" advertised on the shelf in normal game stores, too. We're not exactly a rated-PG forum so I wouldn't say it's totally off limits, but I would caution anyone in such a thread to be aware that the general population of SA's TG subforum takes a Dim View of Problematic Crap, we routinely mock titty models in the terrible minis thread, people got absolutely piled on in the boardgame thread for being fans of a gross boardgame, etc. Simply gleefully posting about how sexy some exploitative game looks isn't going to get an enthusiastic reception. But of course consenting adults can play erotic games and I don't think TG should ban discussion of them out of hand. My opinion, I haven't asked the other mods.

However I have seen e.g. "games for lovers" advertised on the shelf in normal game stores, too. I had that 'games for lovers' genre in mind, like what you might find in Spenser's Gifts or a sex shop. I always kind of wondered if there were interesting design decisions in any of those, or if it was just 'roll dice with dares instead of numbers' gag gift stuff. It sounds like there's a lot of gross problematic bullshit in the RPG end of the eros gaming world that could get messy (sadly this does not surprise me as I've seen the tabletop game politics thread in D&D). I'm fine foregoing discussion of the topic.
