  • Are the 5e apologists in the room with us?

    No, but seriously, most people I know (rightfully) criticize 5e for a lot of things, from sloppy writing in general, to shitty adventure books, to nonsensical rulings and poor balance. I’ve never met someone willing to defend 5e so passionately.

    I’ve always claimed that base 5e is basically unplayable past tier 2 because of how wild power scaling becomes, and how sloppy certain rules are (God forbid that your wizard doesn’t attempt to Shapeshift the Fighter’s Echo before you even reach tier 3). And frankly, base 5e is too boring to play for long, anyway. Homebrew is where it’s at.

    It’s rare to see a RPGmaker game with VA. I wonder how that happened. RPGmaker is the tool that you use when you don’t have money to spend on anything but still want to make a game.

    You got me curious. I’ll check it one of these days. I like narrative-heavy games and it seems right up my alley.


  • This happened to me once, in reverse. A mailman had my same surname and was from the same town as my father.

    He really was interested in finding out if we were somehow related, but I was, like, “buddy, I worked night shift, please, let me sleep”.

    He was a bit disappointed in my reaction, and I still think about it. I don’t know where you are now, random maybe-distantly-related mail buddy, but I want you to know that I’m sorry and I wish you the best.



  • I’ve just checked the rules and yes it could have an NSFW tag even though no nudity is shown but that is a far cry from “has no place”

    Screenshots of a game have a place in this community when they are used to actually discussing the game. Which is the point a lot of these “daily screenshot” posts are missing. There is no discussion here because OP didn’t bother discussing anything, it’s just a random collection of pics. Unless you count “showing that the game has a player-controlled camera” as “demoing game mechanics”.

    I would 100% consider this a low-effort post, which is against the rules of c/games.
