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.

As for what Sammy had said?  I notice that the SJWs have this strong hatred for everything 90's.  I don't know why, but maybe we should explore the reason as to why.  Though Edge Lord the game might be fun for a session, or two.

Genuinely curious about what would make a "fan version" of WFRP OSR?

Well the reason I bring about how Daniel's game isn't OSR is because it uses very new school mechanics that are basically meta points.  You do something, or spend energy here to do this useful thing.  Suddenly the bad guys get stronger as they now have new doom energy because you dared to spend your energy.  This is like you used fireball on orcs, but suddenly the enemy orc shaman now has one of this spell slots restored because you spent yours.  It makes no sense and it honestly begs the question as to why I should use any powers at all if I am only empowering the enemy.

That is also not even touching on the fact that Daniel is a quite the horrible little person who goes around making people feel like shit, doxxed the Pundit, and out insults paying customers if they don't agree with his precious narratives.

I'll second that and raise you an OSR version of the Burning Wheel RPG.

I'm not the d20 system's biggest fan, not by a long shot.

But I will say that an OSR version of either game would have a far more playable system than the core game in their respective current incarnations.

Quote from: Opaopajr;1123800Doc Sammy, are you suggesting we be EdgeLords? :eek: Is your nascent goth punk growing in your heart? :cool::p

Embrace the edge!

Seriously though, being punk is one of the least edgy things you can do in this day and age.

Nowadays, punks (and their bastard offspring, the goths and hipsters) are The Man, while brightly dyed hair, hipster glasses, and piercings are the new uniforms of tyranny.

Danger hair and punk fashion are the jackboots of the 21st Century!

Oh I'd seen this from him, trust me.
When he first started working on what would become zweihander I was all on board. Even "won" his copy of WFRP 2nd ed (and like most insecure people he even put his name on the inside cover). Was a backer of the original kickstarter at a decent level and then I got the book and...well it was ok. Then I started seeing his insane self promotion everywhere, how he treated other members of the hobby that were not on the woke's good side, and so on.

Yeah I just don't want to give him any money so having a alternative would be nice.  I knew there is a 4th edition out on the official product, but I seen Archwarhammer's review and I am not please with it.

I haven't seen his review but I've seen the reviews of the old Strike to Stun crew and I've tried running it myself. Let's just say that the mechanics are as well thought out and functional as the first print run of Traveller 5.

Thank you Aglondir! The West Marches look quite interesting. The free download is worth a look.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;1123527Wrong.

Most SJW Millennial snowflakes hate anime and typically prefer Marvel capeshit.

The only anime that's popular among SJW's is My Hero Academia, which is explicitly meant to be a take on the superhero genre and is very inspired by Marvel and DC capeshit.

If we had an OSR book with anime artwork (especially scantily-clad anime artwork), the SJW millennial punks would seethe.

The SJWs don't like Marvel or DC either. Or Star Wars, or Doctor Who. That's why they always try to change these things into their unrecognizable pamphlets. The only thing they really like is their ideology.
