I only know the German translation where the name is Petterson.
Petterson is iconic but he would be nothing without Findus.
Polar bears love it.
Same. I got his book as an ebook and read it. It offers some decent if simple advice and draws some really weird and false conclusions in other places. But overall it isn’t a bad book and I never felt like he argued on bad faith. But eventually I decided I don’t agree with his views overall.
Later he went a bit weird eating only meat and making weird arguments so idk. But before that I totally understood how he could suck people into the right wing bubble.
Online or offline multi-player?
As for couch coop Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends is some of the most fun I ever had with friends gaming.
I think a new system wants people to leave their current game which they love and play for the things their current system does well it. So it has to either offer something new it does, or something it does better than the alternatives. And because changing systems is usually not easy as you have to relearn lots of rules and also convince your group to do the same.
So a new system doesn’t only have to offer something new and/or better. It as to be so much better that it makes the effort of changing systems worth it.
And for my local groups it simply didn’t. I don’t think anyone thinks it’s bad. Just not good or different enough from what they tried to give it a go.
I agree it absolutely isn’t a good comparison. But the main response when I brought told my friends and local players about how Matt Colville and his company are making an RPG, they said ‘another youtuber RPG? Well daggerheart was pretty meh, I hope this is better.’ or ‘We’ll if the crit role system didn’t stick I don’t know if this will.’ and similar answers. So I thought I’d bring it up preemptively. Matt Mercer also had a series of GM tips videos if I remember correctly. So maybe that’s where people draw the comparison? Idk.
I’m excited to see where it’s going and I am certain it will be a great game for what it’s trying to accomplish. Actual proper heroic fantasy with cinematic gameplay. What will do the game well is the lack of baggage and tradition as well as the absolutely huge amount of testing from community but also in house testers. I like what they have shown so far and I am sure I’ll run it eventually.
On top of that the development is open and the game will have an open license. I really hope there will be a large community for it once it’s done.
I’ll check it out once it is finished and released. While I’m not interested in running sessions of a playtest version myself I will eventually get the books when it is fully out.
What critical role has shown to me and at least around my local community, is that popular content creators putting out a game isn’t enough. The crit role game systems weren’t all that unique and well designed from what I have seen. They work but I’m not sure what they are trying to accomplish that hasn’t been done better. Therefore after initial interest nobody around here stuck with the systems at all. But I think the mcdm RPG will have a solid foundation and might actually stick around. It does something I haven’t seen much and does it better and more focused than I have seen so far.
I’d be curious if anyone around here has played the playtest yet and got some insights?
As if this game didn’t already have a ton of content and variety. Awesome.
Only if the website is part of the product. Like if to use the product I have to login on the website or am forced to regularly use it or whatever. Then if it is advertised as 100% open source I’d probably be like ‘is it though?’.
I just realized I don’t know how I hold y mouse.
True but it helps get the concept across so much.
I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.
Can’t even arm. Stoopid hooman tech.
Eh,
gamingjournalism just wants clicks to get ad-revenue.
Ferminirsts tryna take away mah stiiiicks.
A TV? I don’t have that.
