Guys, Pundit's ridiculous strategy of moving threads around is useless. If you use the New Posts button, it shows you every new post and thread regardless the ubication, so those threads don't need to go unnoticed. Seriously, complaining about that is a fucking waste of time. So he doesn't like threads about some games on certain subforums. More power to him. Arguing about that is legitimizing his dick move.

Not it's not.

Using the new post button isn't the point.

Yeah, really. Its so inept of me as a means of censorship that you'd almost have to think I don't actually mean to censor the thread...

It is the point that renders the argument of "moving threads around is censorship!" moot.

Of course, you can argue if storygames are RPGs or not until you die, but who cares? To the owner of this site, there's a difference and that's it. I think they're all the same at the core, but I don't need to persuade anyone.

Of course you are not censoring anything. That is preposterous. It is your fucking forum and you arrange threads however it suits you. We can discuss any fucking game we want, Why should we bother on which subforum it goes? It's nerdy anal behaviour.

Yeah, the only time it matters to me is if I'm not sure where to post a thread...because every time I visit, I go to the front page and click "New Posts" and then open up the threads that seem like interesting discussion or an interesting train wreck. I pay no attention to what board they are on.

I honestly don't care that much about the moving of threads, other than the deep deep irony of comparing it to the D20 Ghetto ...

It's derailing whole threads with "Are you now or have you ever been a storygamer" bullshit I don't think we really need.

I agree with you there. I don't really care if a game is a storygame or an RPG, as long as we're having fun playing it.

I don't really care if we're talking about MMOs, card games, wargames, story games or role playing games if we're having fun playing them either. I do care which is which, however.

If you really did, this wouldn't be in Other Games.

I haven't read Tenra Bansho Zero, nor am I likely to, but here's something I don't get.

There's a rule that says PCs can only be killed if they explicitly tick a box to risk their character's life on that particular roll, right? Well, surely, if you're someone that otherwise enjoys TBZ but likes the risk of PC death, you could just, I dunno, always tick the fucking box?

Is there some reason why this wouldn't work out?

Quote from: soviet;607197Is there some reason why this wouldn't work out?

None.

You know, I'll just leave this here.

There is another very important purpose to the Dead box. It not only makes it possible for the character to die, it gives +3 dice to all actions because the character is operating at the limits of their capability. In fact, that is its primary function - the possibility for death is the balancing disadvantage.

Please stop, or they'll send the thread to the Rational Discussion Flowchart Images sub-subforum.

Is there any other benefit to allowing yourself to die? For example, bonus on your next character, option to come back as a ghost, etc?

Normally, when you take a hit, you'd check off an amount of health boxes equal to the damage taken; when you check off your Dead Box, though, it absorbs all the damage for that hit. No matter how much you take. But you've only got one dead box, and you can't heal it in combat.

As for benefits for dying, no. I guess it could give you a motivation for your next character ("Avenge my relative's death")? But it would be up to you to decide.

Honestly, reading it (And I admit, I haven't read it cover-to-cover yet due to how frustrating the unoptimised pre-print PDF's are to read, just a quick skim-through), it's like a more comprehensible, better-explained equivalent to Exalted. I think if you like that, or if you thought Exalted looked like fun other than the shitty rules, you'll like TBZ.
