I think the core of the problem is that back in the bad old days, things needed to be tuned up a bit before they would work right and there was a marked lack of standardization. Now, not only do our devices work right out of the box, bit they also have little quality of life stuff as well. I haven’t bought a battery-powered device in years that wasn’t partially charged when I got it, and most devices come preinstalled with all the basic utility apps.

Never underestimate the ability of a small change to completely break a system

Where else would you post this?

Gonna save this for later

This is in reference to the 5e rules. You know, the line they are ready to replace?

The best card game out there right now is the Digimon tcg. The games are fast and they simply do not do box chaff. And of all the current tcgs, it’s got the biggest actual playerbase outside of Yu-Gi-Oh.

Alternatively, the Pokemon card game is fully owned by Nintendo now. They aren’t doing a great job with it IMHO, but a lot of people do collect the cards.

Too little too late tbh

Thank you for the kind warning, stranger. I will heed your words.

I kinda want to get together with my gaming group to make characters in FATAL and take the piss on the poor author

IMHO, GURPS’s reputation as being inscrutible is surprisingly unearned. Imagine if the next version of Dnd launched with a rebalanced version of every subclass released over 5e’s history, every spell from 5e, every feat (even the useless ones), every magic item and the guides to create new ones, the entire Dungeon Master’s Guide, and at least one chaper summarizing the history of the forgotten realms. Imagine if all of that was in the core book, which is so large it comes in volumes like an encyclopedia. That’s what the GURPS 4e core book is. In reality its more of a reference document. All the rules you need to play are either on your character sheet or were used to make your character.

Personally I think it’s reputation comes from it’s biggest supporters. Rules lawyers and pendants, the lot of them.

They took the precious, they did!

Aw man. I really liked that community

Not really. I did for a while on Mastodon but then the one I picked announced it was going to shut down. So I left

This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.
