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.

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

An advertisement?  WTH?  What's different then the OP for New Red Box, I didn't say "comments, reactions"?

I don't really care, it's not my game, just seemed a little weird.

Well, maybe if you want to talk about the game, you might want to include something more than simply a link.

It's a Forge game about turning a garage band into Heavy Metal Gods, what else needs be said?  It's not like anyone but twofishes is actually going to buy the goddamn thing.  :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, let me toss in "and 4e sucks the OSR's balls", now it's worthy of the main rpg forum, or wait, should that be "the OSR sucks 4e's balls", I forget this week. :p

Posting JUST a link is considered spam.

Or, it's a light hearted, affectionate parody of metal, written by someone who loves that kind of music. A game where you sit around drinking beer, dreaming up ridiculous song titles, and having your band engage in increasingly ludicrous acts to try and claw their way to fame and fortune. It's an immense amount of fun.*

It sounds like that. A beer & pretzels game, nothing more. But of course, there are no innocent games, not anymore. It's Cold War time, Red Scare and all that.

Reminds me of the French game Zone, except it was more about playing stereotype teenagers fighting during concerts. Wow 24 years already... I feel old.
