This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Linking to post because on phone.  Looks worse than expected.
Quote from: Black Vulmea;530561Y\'know, I\'ve learned something from this thread. Both B.T. and Koltar are idiots, but whereas B.T. possesses a malign intelligence, Koltar is just a drooling fuckwit.

So, that\'s something, I guess.

Well, now that WotC has dumped "The D&D the Forge created", someone had to pick up the mantle.  This thing sounds even more dissociated then 4e, but lets do it not only with the game mechanics, but lets do it with narrative metagame too.  Jesus Wept.

Quote from: ChalkIn my playtest game, one character had Son of a Lich, which meant he traced his bloodline back to the game's Lich King, and he had special insight into their machinations, magical abilities and organization. Another had Star Born, which meant that his character was an avatar created by a far-off star, acting as a font of divine power.

This game is for special snowflakes.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

The escalation die sounds like:

Well combat is kind of slow and grindy as all hell so lets build in this fast forward button that helps ensure the players win, as is proper for this storywank system.

I hope the people it was designed for have metric tons of fun with it. I also hope the same people shut up about other people enjoying D&D now and forever, AMEN.
Now with a Zine!

So what is this, the 4venger's OSR or is this D&D for people who like Exalted?

That's only a half-joke; really, is this a 4venger OSR?

Bleh, so everyone has a special destiny, divine edict or magical wossname in their backpack? No one's figured out yet how silly that's going to be in play?

"We must go to the Starsword Chapel Perilous to save my great-aunt Marmaduke, through which I trace my ancestry to the primal dragons of Hoot-nanny."

"No it's time for us to go to the Great Greasyboo so that I can merge with my fellow ancient time-timetraveling brethren to form the Twelve-Headed avatar Hastur-Amenbrotep."

"No, my special plot device, no my special plot device!"

You know what? Murder-hobos sound like a step up from that.

Exactly
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Are you kidding?  This is a paper towel on the toxic spill that is places like SA and rpg.net.
