So, tell me anon why hasn't your gaming group set aside Dnd and picked up torchbearer?
>>43925955
Because it's Burning Wheel complicated and nobody is willing to play it, just like Burning Wheel.
Also we aren't playing D&D.
>>43926120
I play Burning Wheel...
>>43926120
>complicated
are..are you really say roll Xd6's and see how many are fours or better is complicated? Do you need a helmet?
>>43925955
Because we already put D&D down and are playing Swords & Wizardry?
>>43926120
Are you sure you're thinking of Burning Wheel?
>>43925955
Because they are all relatively new to rpgs, and dnd has the best brand recognition. so when I offered to run a game, I didn't say want to play a ttrpg, I said "wanna play some dnd?".
>>43926801
You can say it anyway. It's like Jello. The brand name has become generalized. It's like ordering a coke in the south.
>I'll have a cheeseburger and fries. And a coke.
>What kind?
>Root beer.
>>43926859
I have lived in the south for 30 years in various states and never heard anyone use "coke" in such a general sense, but I've always heard people talk about it like that happens. Is it specific to only a few states or am I crazy?
>>43926120
You mean Burning Wheel simplified.
>>43926859
I guess you'd have to say "coca cola" for the actual thing?
Because I do what I want and you can't stop me.
>>43926991
Fair and true, but not really a motivation
>>43926910
It's less common than it used to be, and honestly less likely to occur in the situation I gave and more likely in an informal "anybody want a coke?" at your house.
>>43926964
Yeah.
>>43927116
Georgia in particular is still pretty bad about that, at least when I last passed through there. >>43926911
or more aptly put, advanced mouse guard which whenever someone plays it finds it to be a damn good game.
>>43927050
My motivation is giving some random neckbeard on the internet a coronary because I'm having a good time with a badwrongfun system and there's nothing they can do about it.
>>43927116
But then I'm also from Georgia, the home of Coca-Cola, so maybe that makes a difference?
>>43927173
sounds like good enough to me, so would you say your instinct is to go against what anon tells you?
>>43927188
>>43927157
>>43927116
>>43926910
Still happens all over Virginia. Even the yankee fucks infiltrating NoVa and Richmond have been won over in this regard.
>>43925955
Because we aren't playing D&D right now you stupid little twit.
I swear, the self-absorbed nature of D&D style fantasy TRPG players is unbelivable; they automatically assume everyone is playing it or a derivative of it at all times.
>>43927233
Nah man. Anons got some good taste sometimes. I just know that I can run a good game with almost any system. It's not about what rules you use or how balanced things are anyway. It's about everyone at the table having a good time. People around here forget that sometimes.
>>43927275
I assume it's a fairly common game, the default if you will. We may like maid or mouse guard but scrounging up a group is a challenge.
>>43925955
Because fuck you?
>>43927275
I'd love to play some Shadowhack actually, but fuck it if everyone just wants to play the real Shadowrun or D20 Modern with future and Cyberspace rules
>>43927329
> D20 Modern
Eegh
>>43927329
>D20 modern
oh gods Im so sorry.
>>43927303
really once you get a group to play mouse guard the war is won. I've never had a party that felt like it had a bad time. There's something about that damn game that just hits all the right notes.
>>43926295
As do I.
>>43925955
Because it's bad and unninteresting. You should recomend something more AWESOME, like Dungeon World! The best game in THE FUCKING WORLD! It is so AWESOME!
>>43929768
I think youre talking about dungeon world there man. It sounds blander than bland at least this shamlessly admits what it is.
>>43926607
>Durr, quantum physics aren't complicated, you just do arithmetic on the numbers, right?
>>43931268
If anything that'd be algebra and barring being less than ten years old or a complete moron most people in this day and age can handle such a situation. Seriously, the rules are simpler than Dnd even in straight up burning wheel.
