You are immature for your age and try to now grow up. You think you are smarter than most people, which you are, but not by as much as you think. For that reason you struggle with impostor syndrome and hold yourself back from achieving the career you actually want. But still you manage to come off as condescending to people around you.
Please don’t take this seriously.
In our group everyone brings snacks. Then we have way too many snacks. We store snacks and they last for another session or two. Then one session we are out and noone brought snacks so we run without snacks. The next time everyone brings snacks and we have too many again. Rinse and repeat.
We call it the ebb and flow of the RPG snackage.
We use German as common and Dwarves are Bavarian.
Awesome thank you!
That’s so awesome!
What is it about? The images not readable for me sadly. Is it a game system or setting? Or something else. How long did it take you to write it? Did you do the illustration yourself? I have a lot of questions.
Is there a good way to browse the fidt ecosystem?
I think a new system wants people to leave their current game which they love and play for the things their current system does well it. So it has to either offer something new it does, or something it does better than the alternatives. And because changing systems is usually not easy as you have to relearn lots of rules and also convince your group to do the same.
So a new system doesn’t only have to offer something new and/or better. It as to be so much better that it makes the effort of changing systems worth it.
And for my local groups it simply didn’t. I don’t think anyone thinks it’s bad. Just not good or different enough from what they tried to give it a go.
I agree it absolutely isn’t a good comparison. But the main response when I brought told my friends and local players about how Matt Colville and his company are making an RPG, they said ‘another youtuber RPG? Well daggerheart was pretty meh, I hope this is better.’ or ‘We’ll if the crit role system didn’t stick I don’t know if this will.’ and similar answers. So I thought I’d bring it up preemptively. Matt Mercer also had a series of GM tips videos if I remember correctly. So maybe that’s where people draw the comparison? Idk.
I’m excited to see where it’s going and I am certain it will be a great game for what it’s trying to accomplish. Actual proper heroic fantasy with cinematic gameplay. What will do the game well is the lack of baggage and tradition as well as the absolutely huge amount of testing from community but also in house testers. I like what they have shown so far and I am sure I’ll run it eventually.
On top of that the development is open and the game will have an open license. I really hope there will be a large community for it once it’s done.
I’ll check it out once it is finished and released. While I’m not interested in running sessions of a playtest version myself I will eventually get the books when it is fully out.
What critical role has shown to me and at least around my local community, is that popular content creators putting out a game isn’t enough. The crit role game systems weren’t all that unique and well designed from what I have seen. They work but I’m not sure what they are trying to accomplish that hasn’t been done better. Therefore after initial interest nobody around here stuck with the systems at all. But I think the mcdm RPG will have a solid foundation and might actually stick around. It does something I haven’t seen much and does it better and more focused than I have seen so far.
I’d be curious if anyone around here has played the playtest yet and got some insights?
I’m pretty sure you can edit titles on here.
Wait Minecraft is not real life?
I love the art. It’s adorable.
From the character concepts my favorite is the noble competing for gold and treasure. It’s a fun twist on the I’m here for the money motivation.
The construct trying to save the master is cool as it can potentially lead to swapping characters after a while. But it’s a bit main charactery for some campaigns.
Can I retitle this to
Creative Character concepts I wish my players would come up with.
That’s awesome and really shows we can learn skills which dont align with our natural tendencies.
Also I find it hilarious and a bit scary how accurate this was then.
