I just hope this shocks the most boring people out of buying the same game every year. The only good sports game to release since before i was even born wasn't even about a real sport.
Man i wish i lived in a civilized place, my nearest flgs is like 3 counties away. Somehow the bar scene isn't even any better! If i wanted to make unrelated friends I'd have to go to church (🤮) or something.
I might not be a good lefty for saying it, but I've never been against capitalism at like a base level. I imagine it'd be perfectly fine in a species evolution didn't utterly fail, but example says we humans cannot have it and remain functional.
Even disregarding just how bad starfield is, Emil is the literal worst person to say this. He is completely, shockingly incompetent when it comes to his job.
Big cats have hunting instincts that are hard to turn off even if they like you (see: any news story of a big cat eating their owner), humans have instincts relating to forming communities. every single species has some instincts they follow and they aren't the same as ours, they'll deeply shape how a species' cultures/morals/etc develop. Just saying goblins are little green humans is deeply boring and hurts world building.
I came in one day, told my players this game sucks and everyone immediately started searching for their own game of choice, never looking back at 5e. we've settled on WoD as the game we go to, but we've got a Pathfinder and starfinder game going, we've played cyberpunk RED, shadowrun, cthulhutech, the witcher rpg, besm, exalted, CoD, wrath & glory, and we're planning a final fantasy d20 game. It's down right sad that some people won't move on from 5e tbh.
It's one of the hardest to learn, imo. 5e is very inconsistent and has a lot of rules even if they suck. Heck, if i had more confidence in wotc I'd say they deliberately designed 5e to make people feel this way, Pathfinder is far more consistent and WoD takes all of five minutes to learn how to play!
Paizo ain't wizards, they give you lots of information about how to run a game, even down to the general amount of money they should have or the amount of events they should fight in a day.
The experience can be useful for a type of campaign you haven't run before i suppose, I'm doing sevenfold conspiracy and it has lots advice on running an investigatory whodunit. Although i wouldn't look to the paths for hard balancing advice, the wrath game I'm in is exceptionally easy (until it suddenly isn't) and the game I'm running is pretty easy too (but it's not based around combat).
Wizards really doesn't care about anything they've actually done well. Their mostly abandoned settings are by far their best, the forgotten realms (and the sword coast specifically) are barely even mid.
I just hope this shocks the most boring people out of buying the same game every year. The only good sports game to release since before i was even born wasn't even about a real sport.
