I am having so many flashbacks from metal music subgenre discussions right now.

Bra point

yeah, the "28" scene is big into that vibe. Which is sort of coming back around since the earliest RPGs also didn't really have mechanics for very much outside of combat and you just talked at the table.

Thats interesting right? Because the language drifted. "RPG" meant something very specific, but since computer games are far more popular, in general conversation today if you tell someone you are playing an rpg, they will usually think you mean Skyrim or World of Warcraft. During the board...

To the original post, something I have thought about a lot is the idea of the "combat RPG". Basically inspired by things like Inquisitor or the old Laserburn where you have a GM who creates the scenario, you have some investigation and interaction but the core of each session is a tabletop...

" All roleplaying games are miniatures games with more talking" :devilish: When I did Five Parsecs, I was surprised (because I am stupid) how many RPG folks bought the books and then ran into challenges with things that minis gamers take for granted, like how to organise a battlefield.

I should add that players do tend to notice if you get their spells wrong :)

Speaking of Seattle, I found this old clip from the infamous "red card wedding" where Seattle ended the game with 7 players on the pitch. Apparently tearing up the referees notebook is not okay? Who knew :)

Bra tanke. It can definitely go both ways, but I wanted to include an actual example of where getting the rules wrong DID become a problem, since these discussions are usually always very pro "rules as options" and I wanted to wave the flag for us rules writers :) I think in a lot of cases...

Thats a big factor for me as well

As a wargames writer, I get a LOT of emails from people who misunderstood a rule, sometimes a key one. SOMETIMES its a big fucking deal, but most of the time it just moves on because these things end up evening out in the long run * I always tell people never retcon anything, just move on and...

Congrats to Seattle for winning Leagues Cup against Miami and then winning the post game brawl against Miami For those who don't follow the least important tournament in North America, Leagues Cup is specifically between MLS (AMerica+a few Canadians) and Liga MX (Mexico). Why it exists when the...

Three at 38 points and Elfsborg just behind. Its gonna go down to the wire!

Wolfsburg Mainz 1-1. I am not sure what we were doing. Up 1 and you pack the box and slug it out in defence? We absolutely let them get back into the game. On the upside, we watched with my wifes brother and his wife and they had a fantastic time, and both wanted to get into it more. She said...

I did say “major” my man

To the original question: Not a Swede but I have 2 shelves full of Swedish RPG material. For me, I would not purchase a game that had major AI content in it.

I actually used to live in Michigan, but we never managed to get to Detroit for a game. Because of how tv rights works, I usually can't watch Detroit games down here anyways, since its "too close". So Vancouver it is :) Yeah, time zone differences are brutal. Its a little easier the other way...

Also "The thing that should not be"

https://www.youtube.com/@SDHL-fs5b Looks like SDHl has started putting their matches on Youtube. I was worried it would only be some games, but it looks like every match from the first couple of match days. Officially getting hyped.

Nothing too shocking out of Germany today. Werder Bremen Leverkusen 3-3 is a hell of a scrap and great for WB. Especially clawing back 2 goals while down a player
