I'm glad the IP holder had the good sense to realize that all this faggy bullshit wasn't working for Tomb Raider. I doubt they actually learned their lesson and will go forward thinking long and hard about how they want to present Lara Croft from now on, seeing as they went to the fucking Thirsty Sword Lesbians company to producer their game in the first place, but they had a brief moment of awareness that allowed them to realize that doing this faggy shit again would not pay off and would not help them re-established Tomb Raider as a big name again.

Tomb Raider is not a real setting anyway, the "lore" is an ad hoc footnote for whatever adventure Lara needs at a given moment. This is not a built world you can insert anyone into. If the story is not focused on Lara it might as well not be tomb raider. This whole idea was stupid.

The "IP holder", Embracer Group, quite literally went through every single fucking media format to sell the IP and cash-in their recent acquisition. The reason this project ultimately was cancelled has nothing to do with quality control, anti-woke or even listening to fandom.
It's about money. EHP can't muster the kind of sum Embracer wants for the IP. And they are very strict on that one condition (which is why Netflix negotiated a new deal to not get scalpedon fheir horrendous animated show).
So as much as I'm glad this shitshow got unpkugged, I'm with this franchise since TR2 got announced in early 97 and I have zero illusions how this thing works, while also being in this subject way fucking deeper that dipshits who think this is another front of their idiotic culture war.

Eh, depends on continuity.
Core didn't give two fucks, the only glue holding everything together was Lara and before they get into lore and setting that mattered, they lost their own fuckibg IP.
Crystal under Eidos was the closest this franchise was to an actual lore-heavy stuff, as absurd as it sounds. They even managed to retool TR1 into their lore.
Crystal under Squenix is a fucking joke. Despite putting all that effort and claiming that this is a coherebt, interlocked setting, every game was a separate bubble, making them (the games) schizoid as a result
The only time TR had estabkished lore and said lore mattered both for itself and in the bigger picture were the TopCow comics, which by proxy got tangled into overall TopCow verse. And it actually worked, making it extra funny when Lefend was about Excalibur.
But average potential buyer of TR RPG wasn't even born when those were coming out, so go fucking figure.

Skimming a few articles about it, it looks like it was going to be some sort of PbtA hack but with a dice pool instead of the usual 2d6+modifiers against a set TN thing. I haven't bothered to run the calculations on how the math for it would work, but I expect it's not much better than the usual for PbtA, which typically caps the maximum bonus at +3, which gives you less than 60% chance of a plain success without nasty complications. This works great for Apocalypse World, which is about damaged people in a broken world who are liable to get hurt or hurt each other when doing things, but is an odd choice for what people might expect from Tomb Raider, i.e. pulpy heroic temple raiding inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones but taking place closer to the present, where you'd want your characters to be succeeding in their adventures rather than failing and getting injured all the time.

What I'm really not sure of is why they didn't just use one of the many existing systems for that kind of pulp action heroics. Evil Hat's own Fate system is practically built for it, or they could branch out and use Savage Worlds or something. What possessed them to make Tomb Raider a PbtA game?

FATE requires you to wrap your head around the concept of "aspects" and players need to engage in the creative process of linking them.
PbtA requires less brain power and works better with the D&D approach of not reading the rules.

anon the bizarre bdsm safety tools are absolutely not needed for open tables and need to be removed from the hobby. This stuff is pushed by broken, narcissistic people who cannot have normal human interactions, and adopting any of their tools and framing makes everything worse for everyone.

It's also not remotely usable for any kind of open table, so your point is retarded. What, you're gonna have every player sit down and fill out 3 lists of do's and dont's and then expect the gm to take those disparate lists from random strangers into consideration as he runs his kobold keep oneshot?

I've ran games from strangers many times. I had an open table at my schools d&d club and later I would advertise games on my college campus and play with whoever showed. The worst thing that's ever happened was a 16 year old girl freaking out and having to leave the room because I triggered her arachnophobia - but she came back, embarassed, and kept playing after a minute to collect herself.

Fate/Fudge dice are also still disproportionately expensive for just being a differently-labeled d6. You can get cheap ones on Alibaba or Amazog, but it's hard to market a game that requires funny dice when an average consumer will find the book at the game store, wander over to the dice section, and find that a set of 12 (that's usually how they're packaged) is like $15, versus a set of D&D polyhedrals being the same price for a special, sparkly version with far more fun-looking shapes. They should probably sell the book packaged with a set of dice and release more complete games using the system which aren't just the core system.

As for a comparison to PbtA, while I'd consider Fate an overall better system, PbtA has the advantage of giving players a set of Moves that more or less do what a similar Aspect would do when invoked, but with the possible outcomes already described for you. I don't care much for it myself, but it's objectively more accessible to a broad audience. Evil Hat could absolutely hack it into a more accessible version with some premade games instead of just selling Fate Core, but they don't seem to be interested in that.

The characters I referred to are basically all types of people Lara meets in that one game, who would make interesting player characters. Someone up thread said there was no fertile ground in the setting outside Lara. I disagree: most of the games have at least some lore which would make interesting hooks for player characters or adventures. Most of the sites, organisations and supernatural occurrences would be fun to revisit, so the IP makes sense to revisit. And then you still have loads of room to get original on top of that.

So the licensor was too woke and didn't like the idea of a woman with big tits being featured in their book.

So sorry to learn that both of you have lost your eyesight. Let me help you so your text to speech can read it to you. In the cover of the cancelled rpg shown in the original post to which one of you replied, Croft looks like she'd take around 34B bra. 34B is not "big tits".
For comparison, in the latest computer game released by the licensor about 4 months ago Croft's bra size looks to be about 34DDD.
You're welcome.

Masterbook sucks enormous dick but the D6 adaptation is good. Even so, it lacks that sort of mini game for movement that games have for combat, which a TR game would need. You spend a lot more time jumping between ledges than shooting enemies.

>Masterbook (AKA Torg)
Masterbook is based on Torg amd if you know Torg you'll pick up MB in no time but it's not aka Torg. The most obvious difference is that Torg is 1d20 and MB is 2d10 but that's just the first of many changes that firmly locks MB characters into the realm of the nonheroic. Nonheroic is exactly the opposite of what you want for a guy like Indiana Jones. For a game that WEG bought so many licences for it's a shame that they didn't do something better with it.

Even the people and companies who champion "safety tools" and even print shit about them in their official books struggle to integrate them or even talk about them naturally. It's a thing they value in concept, but struggle with in execution to the point that they end up forgetting or ignoring their own "safety" bullshit entirely.

But in the internal logic of said fantasy world, being an elf is not stretching credulity

Even in the not so rare trope of you're the one-in-a-billion Chosen One, it does not stretch credulity if being the Chosen One is the prerequisite to have said adventure

To me both are quite different from the absurdity of these sort of example of extreme inclusivity we've seen popping up everywhere these past few years.

they're activists, outside of the Fate system, this is the BS they've been up to.

Also a part of Forge Group. A bunch of lugs who believe players can't roleplay and has limits on how much people can roleplay, thus have illusions of actual choice in their designs.

This from a 3-hour long video about Root RPG... I have no idea why it lead up to that...

I've been a few groups who tried out FATE and actually aspects weren't really that hard to understand. Usually the reason it feel apart was a combo of the following:
>because of the system math, having a higher skill rank is so much better than having a lower one that most players really went out of their way to use their one highest skill or the two under that and basically avoid the rest as much as possible
>rules that are cumbersome and wordy for what ultimately results in a simple game pattern (create temp aspects when you can, then spend them to do big dick hits)
>the rules for adding new skills like magic are not idiot proofed enough for newer GMs so you'll end up with a skill like "Fire Magic" that can do basically fucking anything with minimal mental leaps
Say what you will about PbtA but at least it operates pretty cleanly and usually you have some sort of exp or meta currency reason for you to do something that's not 100% optimal.

I was willing to at least give Girls by Moonlight a read but dear lord they probably mention Steven Universe twice as much as say Sailor Moon or Madoka. Not that those should be anyone's only references for magical girls, but having SU being one of your basic reference pillars is tragic.

Ask me how I know you are utterly clueless about BDSM safety tools.
Like why are you animals always trying to discredid something with sexual references each and every time? It's fucking 2025, not 1925, we are past not one, but three sexual revolutions. Nobody gives a fuck if you try to pretend something comes from BDSM circles, is gay or aiming for lesbian demographic.
Except, well, you, which makes it only weirder.

And the point still stands:
It's baby's first introduction when running for a random/open table.
Which you aren't addressing in any fucking way, just shouting at clouds that how could they put BDSM stuff in their game.

Also: just hire a prostitute and get laid already, so you will stop having those idealised images of what sex is like.

Exactly how stupid/zoomer/yes one needs be to even buy FATE dice in the first place? It's literally d6 that can be replaced with the most regular d6.

honestly? I think it still feels nicer to see the dice as + and have it mean + than to see 5 or 6 and call it +, and regular d6s painted to become fudge dice look dumb.
that said, I made my fudge die through laser cutting with leftover materials from a different project, so no reason to buy them either.

Imagine buying d6 with + instead of 5 and 6 and - for 1 and 2, because you were groomed to be a perfect consumer. Then you project on others that they are triggered, rather than figuring out how fucked up you are
