>>47524908
There's a whole conversation involved in that statement.

Strykers aren't nearly as bad of a vehicle as most people claim they are, they just take a lot more work, and they're designed to do more specific things.

The biggest issue with Strykers is that they take a shitload to maintain, because they've got so many systems involved. Your daily PMCS for a Stryker takes 45 minutes, with the weekly and the monthly both adding another 30 each, respectively. It has five fluids to check, and a shitload of electronics to deal with.

That means that there's a lot more than can break in it, for one.

However, the biggest issue is that if you're not raised in a mechanized environment, you never really learn to take care of the vehicle. HMMVs take all of 5 minutes to PMCS, and light and airborne units can barely be bothered to take care of those, much less a vehicle that takes real work as well.

Of course, it's not just on the soldier himself, which is the second issue. Command and mechanics make for a big deal as well. If your command doesn't understand the vehicles and the shit they take(again, light and airborne command are terrible at this) then it becomes impossible to maintain them properly, because they won't give you the time to do so. Then the vehicles start falling apart, and then they hold it against the vehicles for doing so, and the whole thing just spirals into a mess. It doesn't help that Strykers can be very expensive to maintain.

Mechanics are another point where everything can fall apart. If your mechanics don't know the vehicle or don't give a shit, then things just get terrible. The contractor mechanic is the major failing point here: in garrison, our contractor wasn't good for anything but ordering parts, so dealing with the vehicles sucked. Once I got downrange and we got a good team of mechanics, however, things just got a lot better, because they could actually figure out and fix what was wrong with a vehicle.
>>
>>47524937
>>47524962
But if you actually have the right climate with the right mentality, Strykers work fine, and they have plenty of merit as vehicles. As far as anti-IED vehicles, I think they far outclass MRAPs. Yea, they lack the sheer firepower of a Bradley, but they also carry a full squad, and they're a lot easier to maneuver. They're also a shitload easier to transport and deploy.

While D&D isn't my favorite system by a long shot, I feel the exaggerated hate for it is unmerited. It's great for making a kitchen sink fantasy game without homebrewing a bunch of shit like you do for generic systems. And it does a good job of giving each class a distinct personality.

I would never run D&D, but I won't turn down playing it if the group is good.

I agree, which is why I said it's mediocre instead of going off about how it's the worst thing to happen to roleplaying like half of /tg/ seems to.

I wouldn't turn down a game either but when I'm gming I prefer to run other systems.
>>
>>47523651

I'm of the opinion that shows like these REALLY REALLY NEED NTR. I'm not joking. At the very least, put romantic rivals.

Think about. Typical high-school battle harem, end of Book 1, heroine ends up with the rival instead. Bam, hero's lost and adrift, everything's up for grabs. Then the real story starts from there.
>>
>>47525471

Or you could just, you know, not write anything around harems and waifu drama and focus on storylines that are actually interesting.
>>
>>47525486

Well, exactly. But just look at the gender imbalance in most shows: One guy, lots of girls to fawn over him. Have multiple guys, and don't make the multiple guys the comic relief. Make them sexually threatening, protagonists in their own right.

Basically, you want the viewer to identify with the milquetoast male, then to kick his crutches out from under him. Make him feel unsafe and threatened, because another guy is going to nab the bitches.
>>
>>47525255

>It's great for making a kitchen sink fantasy game without homebrewing a bunch of shit like you do for generic systems.

No it's not.

Pathfinder pretty much just threw everything they felt like into a blender and didn't give two shits about how it would work within the context of their setting or their rules.

There are fucking rules for augments and robots and aliens in a game that established itself as being a fantasy realm of elves, dragons, and liches.

>And it does a good job of giving each class a distinct personality.

That's exactly what I mean. It's fucking boring. But it's been said that the only two interesting things in shows are Violence and Sex, and everything is thematically linked to them.

>>47525549

I disagree. People watch that stuff just to figure out what happens next. A lot of classic anime is classic because every episode was a god-damn nail biter. Imagine watching Evangelion for the first time, and realizing that all bets were off and everyone could suffer and die.

That's what keeps viewers. That's how Gen Urobuchi made his career. People want to watch shows that make them upset, because they long to feel any emotion in their lives.
>>
>>47525568

That will only appeal to anime fans because anime fans are able to enjoy stuff most people can't stand. No one else will watch a show about some twerp people browbeat all the time unless there's a possibility he's going to build a girlfriend, shoot up the school, or both.
>>
>>47525568
>That's exactly what I mean. It's fucking boring.
And inserting more pointless love drama is not going to improve things.

It's a genre that deserves and needs to die.
>>
>>47525510

Most people can't write romantic drama and even the ones who can don't try to focus the story on it because of how stupid it becomes.

Conflict is the force that pushes the story forward. When you start adding conflict to a relationship, it just becomes either predictable or just plain irritating since the only way that it can work is if everyone involved works off of assumptions and doesn't bother letting the other party explain what happened.

"Heroine finds Protagonist in comprimising position with attractive romantic rival" is not compelling, it's just a set up to another plotline where the protagonist has to prove he was telling the truth while the female becomes angry with him for something that he didn't do.

"Protagonist finds Heroine talking with an older/handsome/rich/etc. romantic rival" is irritating because, again, it only works if the protagonist doesn't bother hearing her side of the story and goes off of assumptions.

"Protagonist/Heroine is told misinformation that leads them to mistrust one another" is, you guessed it, irritating because, you guessed it, EVERYONE ASSUMES THE WORST AND DON'T EVEN BOTHER TALKING ABOUT IT!

I'm angry because it's the exact same shit you see in harem anime, romantic comedies, sub-plots that involve two characters being in love and shit and all I want to do is reach through the 4th wall and personally slap the shit outta everyone involved because they wasted episodes/chapters/scenes/etc. setting up conflict that would've been resolved in like 5 minutes if everyone didn't act like a dumbass.

Then you get into situations where, because the protagonist and the heroine are together, their entire personality traits erode until their only trait becomes "dating X."

Overall, fuck romance and fuck you for liking them.
>>
>>47525620

I'm not talking about high-school drama as a genre, I just mean shows in general. To really grip the audience, you need to build things up properly, then kick them in the balls. It's why Game of Thrones had enduring popularity, because they set up what appeared to be a standard fantasy story with political intrigue, then the suffering began.

People want misery porn. More than they want anything else, they want to see good people and bad people get done dirty.

There wouldn't be conflict at all if the plot didn't require everyone to have an idiot ball strapped to their temples in order to make it work.

Even then, it just becomes more frustrating when "the worst possible scenario" happens because again, it could've all been avoided if people talked and didn't assume the worst.

It's pointless drama added in for the sake of pointless drama.

Evangelion was remembered because of its psychological aspects and the designs of the monsters.

If you took that away, it'd just be a story about a boy with confidence issues, a loud and angry foreigner being gung ho to cover up deep mental issues, and 2deep4you edgy philosophy lessons that pretty much comes down to incest and prison.

Game of Thrones is bad because ASoIAF was bad.

Seriously, it took me a year to read that series instead of the two-to-three months it should have if I took my time.

Mostly because all the likeable and interesting characters were either dead, suffering, set up for later sufferings, or were being fucking retarded by halfway through the third book.

While I'm not kill happy, I don't mind the fatalities in ASoIAF. People really exaggerate it. Plus the show kills a lot more people for much stupider reasons.

Most of the people who die are pretty unlikable, and the ones who are likable died because they made some colossal fuckup which SHOULD get you killed.

The only character who's been able to escape poor decisions so far is Dany, which is annoying.

>>47526339
Ramsay already killed Roose like three or four episodes ago. He's the new Lord of Winterfell and nobody but Jon and Sansa are trying to stop him.
>>
>>47526290

Ramsey is also not a character we're meant to think is good, or honorable. He got power from cheating, lying, and killing, which is pretty common in this series.

People complain ASoIaF is grimdark because good people tend to die more than bad people. But that's only the dumb good people. The smart good people, like Arya, Sam, and Sansa are still alive. Because they don't do shit like warn the most powerful woman in the realm they're going to arrest her eventually or bail out from a marriage agreement with a notoriously shifty noble.

>>
>>47526369
True, but other characters who are cheating, lying, or killing are generally smarter about it. Ramsay is like if you let That Guy play a Chaotic Evil character and then never punished him for it.

Even Joffrey, who was probably morally the worst character on the show before Ramsay came along had good PR in the form of Margery Tyrell. Ramsay doesn't even have that; he literally rapes, murders, and flays whoever he feels like and none of the other Northern houses have done anything to stand up to him.

And then when it looks like he might get his comeuppance in the form of Stannis, he *teleports 20 good men behind u* psht nothing personnel kid and crushes Stannis's entire army with no effort whatsoever.

Basically, his concern was Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella were going to get caught up in the mix and Stannis would execute him. So he gave Cersei a fair chance to run before it all hit the fan, and didn't realize she was a shrewd schemer.

Ned was given a more convenient out when Littlefinger told him to throw his lot in with Renly, but honestly I won't fault him for refusing that. He could have staged a coup, handed the throne to Stannis, and spirited the twincest kids away. I doubt Stannis would have pushed him on that issue, since he sincerely respected Ned's judgement even if he didn't like him.
>>
>>47526461
Ironically, he trusted Petyr because Petyr was a childhood friend of Catelyn, but didn't trust Varys because Varys was a eunuch and a foreigner.

When it turns out Petyr had it in for him all along, and Varys was actually trying to help him.
>>

Half the world wants to fuck her, and will die if it means they get a chance.

Honestly don't know what Gurm's game with Dany is anymore. Her incompetence is almost poetic, and I can't tell if that's intentional or if the guy just dropped the ball with that character.

>>47526442
Ramsay I think gets away with it because he's confined to bumfuck nowhere and his daddy is the most powerful guy in that region now. The North is absolutely wrecked by this point, because the only people left are those who betrayed Robb or were totally broken by his death.

I'm still hoping Best Greyjoy shows up again and buries an axe in his face.
>>
>>47526541

Petyr's entire character is "CRAWWWWWWWWWWLING IN MY SKIN" tier.

"Oh no, the woman I fell in love with when I barely had my balls dropped loves another man, obviously he is raping her, obviously obviously I must drain the Kingdoms of gold and collapse it dooming millions of people to death and also kidnap her daughter to torture and rape."
>>
>>47526461

Petyr Baelish is barely the same character in the books and the show. He's shifted and changed more than any other, largely (it would appear) because they felt he would make a good villain and decided that him being complicated was silly.

Yeah, it was really cathartic when Sansa finally told Petyr off and threatened to have him killed if he ever spoke to her again.

Funny enough, I hated Varys when he was first introduced because he seemed like a complete slimeball just like Littlefinger, but as the show's gone on he's probably become one of my favorite characters. It's really rare to see a spymaster-type character played so sympathetically.
>>
>>47526588

See >>47526604

Show Petyr is a massive departure from the books, especially in what he did with Sansa. Book Petyr would never have dropped her on Ramsay's doorstep.

That rape scene did happen in the books though, but it was servant girl whom Stannis told Ramsay was Arya.

There's not much point in doing so within the context of the story and characters.

People keep saying this bullshit but I've looked at other systems and don't see what they have on DnD except being vague and ill defined enough to avoid error.

>Because they don't do shit like warn the most powerful woman in the realm they're going to arrest her eventually

This is such a stupid meme.

Ned accounted for Cersei defying him, with a king's order. His only mistake was assuming that the kings order means something in a political system in which the king is the highest authority. He didn't expect Cersei to break the law in so any ways with everyone as witness and get away with it.

This isn't even a good play by Cersei. She always tries to pull shit like this, it's not that she's politically savvy, it's that she has no regard for anything that isn't to her convenience and expects to get away with just about anything she does to serve herself. It works out roughly half the time, or less.

Ned was actually a pretty good political player. It was such a minor mistake that ended him it should be considered more of a lack of intuition.

>>47526474
>didn't realize she was a shrewd schemer.

No, it wasn't that she outplayed him. He overestimated the role of law in King's Landing. He thought the laws meant something, because that's the world he was raised in. He was willing to bend the rules himself, he wasn't naive, he just didn't realize just how fucking lawless people truly were there in Kings Landing. He that if there was a signed order from the King that it would be taken into account.

He also thought the guy who unerringly serves his wife wouldn't fuck over the family and send them down on a path that ends with her death.

Ned made a slight error, Littlefinger made a huge one. Ned had bad luck, Cersei had good luck.

This applies pretty well, I feel.

The difference between /tg/ and the general RPG playing population is that even though half of /tg/ doesn't play at all they have at least been exposed to games beyond D&D and Pathfinder. Most of the RPG playing population has not. Pathfinder has no redeeming value as a game (I consider it on par with games like Cthulhutech, which I own and have played), but as so many 3.P players simply HONESTLY DO NOT REALIZE there are other games it creates an echo chamber effect. Entire groups are made of people where no one knows of a game other than what they are playing and so new players simply make the assumption that the game they are playing is the only one.

And once they play long enough, even if they do encounter other games they rationalize that what they were playing wasn't trash because their egos won't allow them to play a shitty game. It's brain damage anon. It's brain damage that has killed two generations of RPG gamers now. It's infectious and, weighing the danger of its corruption which has already destroyed so many formerly good communities, we've found that lies and misinformation about the evils of 3.P MUST BE SHOUTED DOWN.

The echo chamber does not apply here.
>>
>>47529153

That depends. What does 3.5 attempt to accomplish to you?

Dungeon delving? DCC or most of the OSR games.

Building a character? I like that more in BRP "derived" games and GURPS.

Having wacky hijinks? Savage Worlds or DCC again.

"Serious" game to simulate reality? I'm not 100% sure, that isn't really my style.

Emulate fantasy literature? Heroquest 2 would be my go-to to simulate literature.

You could have saved yourself a couple hundred words and just said "/tg/ doesn't play RPGs, shits on what's popular, acts smug in their ignorance when they find a system whose only claim to fame is it's not D&D".

Nobody has the ability to look at anything they enjoy critically on 4chan.
>>
>>47531174
>OSR games having good dungeon delving rules

Just because something has rules space devoted to it doesn't make it good rules space. And the dungeon part of the delving is based on the modules, not the game. If you weren't full of shit, you would have said Torchbearer.

>Character Building in GURPS or BRP

So two broke dick systems you have to have gentlemen's agreements to even know what to build? Seriously nigger? At least you admit this is a taste thing here.

>Having Wacky Hijinks
Isn't even system based you fuck. If you want capricious DM bullshit you can just do that in any system. DCC and SW just give you the okay for it. And optimized caster edition 3.PF is so wacky people still mentally rebel at its insanity.

>Realizarm!
GURPS, Song of Swords, Pendragon sort of.

>Fantasy Literature
This is the only thing you aren't wrong on because Heroquest 2e is meant to be a narrative game.

You're one for five: just stop trying.

That being said I've had fun with 3.5 as well, but after my first 3.5 campaign (and my first dnd campaign ever), I have never had more fun with 3.5 than any other system I've played, with the exception of Traveler. The one time I played that game it was boring as shit, but I blame the GM on that one.

If you didn't notice it was piss when you took the first sip, chances are that it tasted alright enough that the fact that it was piss didn't matter in the first place.

This guy >>47524850 has the right idea - the worst has already happened when you took the first sip, so it's no use crying over spilt milk, might as well finish the entire glass.

It started in a thread about if it was possible to redeem a demon.

The succubus, as used as an example, was step by step turned into a goddess of free love who sipped from the sex all her disciples were having in her name rather than devouring souls.

Originally she never promised an afterlife to her followers so she would only ever exist as one "god" in a pantheon of other truer gods.

Growing big and strong on the love of many she could extend her will to her servants and perform miracle through them.

There was talk later on in the thread of your basic big red angry demon getting industrial retraining to be a war god before the threads end.

If only it would have stayed there it would have been one thread amidst many, fun for a time but mostly forgotten.

Then the questfags and ND and other such turds got hold of the idea and went FlareFag levels of obnoxious with it.

>>47538317

When the entire point of the game is the murder-fuck everything in sight, lest you're murder-fucked yourself, the fanbase tends to be comprised of angry spergs who only focus on winning, even at the cost of everything else.

No other systems can have the same level of financial success, because WotC and Paizo have a stable oligopoly over a very niche market.
