If your best Stat is also the one taking damage, I think it promotes a high chance of failure and loss. Basically - Death Spiral is real with a system like this.

Video games - playing a lot of Fantasy Life i - lotta grinding mini games. It's much funner to play with my partner.
Ttrpgs - fighting for my life in Fabula Ultima. My character has a dark curse placed on her and she suffered a heart attack.
Tcg - played Optimus prime mtg yesterday. Almost won!

Credit where credit is due! I have been informed that it was actually this post that Auquid saw the scans. Thanks @developersoup.net for uncovering these!

@auquid.bsky.social shared some really interesting photos from a Japanese Dragon Magazine article from 1994. I love the artwork from this era and its really cool to see this art in settings such as Mech Warrior and Shadowrun! #ttrpg #roleplaying

A lot of people are talking about valentines day and romance in regard to table top roleplaying games.
I am currently playing a game where my character is in an unrequited love. My GM @justjarn.bsky.social said he feels bad for my character
Rip haha

The amount of effort put into this one surprised me!

Also I hate autocorrect. "SUPERVILLAIN"

Yes you can!

I want Kei Truck in the USA.

*specifically the lords series

I'm not against them trying different continuities or things like that in the future, but I think this series should stay buried.

That kind of storytelling only reduces story possibilities and to me, comes off as lazy.

One of the things I hated most about Castlevania Lords of Shadow was how they wanted Belmonts and Dracula heritage to mix. Hate that concept and its why I didn't like Sonyas' game's ending. Don't get it twisted, I do not agree with Iga and his sexism at all.

It should be noted that my opinion isn't about a specific gm - just my observations from playing in multiple games over the last few years.

And I also find that the math is not great for non combat checks (the most important rolls) as it favors failure to prop up meta currency and, unlike cortex prime, players don't always have a reliable way to generate it.

Generally speaking, I'm not the biggest fan of this rpg. I've played it under several gms and I find that it just doesn't do it for me. I tend to dislike mechanics that let players change the story... I usually find that players don't get the same level of freedom to do this in practice.

I also don't agree with repetitive play patterns being a reason to remove mechanics, especially if the answer is to replace them with nothing.

Fabula Ultima Playtest documents for Feb. Not a fan of losing Heroic Style Skills. From my perspective, anything more a game can do to make characters different from each other mechanically is a good thing, even if some mechanics are fringe.

Yep, it's available via fan translation efforts! But it's also, still a roleplaying game from the early 2000s. So it's likely not what you want either.

It does have a good amount of support, which is nice. And it even has a replay that's been translated which is goofy.

200X also has a good amount of mechanics but it's more human focused. It could be that both games don't fit your playstyle and that's ok!

Are you speaking of Tokyo Conception or are you also including Devil City Tokyo 200X?

Another grueling work day has arrived. At the very least, I have Fantasy Life to look forward to after I get home! #videogames #nintendo

Now that I think about it, It could also be an issue with me and multifactor.

The scary thing is, maybe. I am still logged in on my actual physical phone and can post as normal. I can also log into discord on my pc too. But when I try to validate in some servers that have additional security measures against bots, the authentication always fails.

Discord claims my phone is authenticated to a different discord ID than my own. It also won't let me authenticate with my phone anymore. What happens next week when they force the new rules? I wonder if I will lose access to my current account and I wonder how difficult it will be to get a new one.

Fail forward is great. I think that there are times when it would be preferable to outright fail rather than succeed to suck later, haha. But if I had to choose, I would rather have more situations in games with fail forward mechanics for crucial moments than be the scrappy doo of the team.

It should be obvious that this is my personal opinion. That also may be an unpopular one too given the landscape of modern games. But I just had to get it off my chest.

I think that's why I prefer systems that have some sort of math that actually backs up the character in their path of expertise. I want to see growth, where the character is demonstrative better today than where they begun. Relying solely on metacurrency to shore this up doesn't seem to help me.

In #ttrpgs, there is this notion that failure should be encouraged because a story is more interesting that way. I can see the merits but as someone that fails their dice rolls constantly and consistently, sometimes it would be nice to be able to be counted on when the chips are down.
