Are you going to be trying out Dolmenwood with the physical book releasing soon? Have you played it?
I think it looks neat

I liked the original drafts and sketches in Wormskin but the latest versions are too sanitized.

Nah, I got enough RPGs not getting played as is. Not adding to the pile. I'm done. Gonna round out my board game collection with a few expansions for shit I have and I'm done with that too. The only hobby stuff I might be doing in the future is getting a 3D printer to make minis for painting as I find that aspect relaxing. Just need to find some gooner tier minis.

200 individually detailed hexes covering an area not quite the size of Wales. Witches, fey, druids and animal-people.
You play as the normal sort of people who live on the edge and venture into the woods for gold and glory.

Old B/X had more about horrible human-sacrifce and rape in the deep woods by druids and monsters. New version exercised that.

It's just deranged osr grogs getting mad about literally any changes whatsoever. This is the COMPLETE changelog of everything they changed to "uncensor" the books. Now, maybe you think that it's better this way, but it's insane that they literally made modified PDFs and complain every time the game's brought up about a grand total of one page worth of material.

Zines and blogposts were edgier or gritter, one of the creators left due to cancelling, the KS version is a lot more twee and genpop 'nerd' friendly.
You can go find the old Wormskin zines and compare. Its a different vibe.

the group I'm part of has been playing it for a bit and enjoying it. the setting is well fleshed out and interested and the rules... well, it's still a B/X clone so ymmv. it's not groundbreaking or anything but that's a good thing.
>>96046688
it was rewritten as a system unto itself to decouple itself from WotC because of the OGL scare but it's still pretty much identical to OSE with the NG's Carcass Crawler optional rules checked by default, ascending armor class and more exploration/survival related rules

To be fair, them renaming the minstrel to bard because Americans think minstrels are people wearing blackface is a prime example of American cultural imperialism imposing itself on other cultures. The goat rape I can understand getting rid of but the minstrel thing is such a prime example of culturally ignorant and uneducated Americans imposing their will on others.

But the point of the goatmen is to be a kind of monstrous incarnation of the aristocracy, right, even down to the level of local rulers of shires? So yes the fucked up inbreeding and relentless insecurity complex and strung-out use of literal live humans as cattle IS important to achieve that, and doing that IS better and more interesting than "these are some goatmen".

Dolmenwood is a gigantic hexcrawl with hundreds of pages and you're crying about two lines of lore. It doesn't matter if you think it's better or worse, it's actually deranged to not engage with the overwhelming majority of the material to screech "they changed it, now it sucks."

It's impressive how many people seem unable to get into a setting if there isn't systemic rape going on everywhere.

Honestly I don't see the problem people have with it. They can just make Atanuwe and the Crookhorns (corrupted goatmen) rapey if they care so much about that. I do agree that Minstrel is a way cooler term than Bard and changing it was silly, but the outrage over it feels very stupid. Who gives a shit. It's a single word.

'Why do you care so much about the changes' - For the same reasons you care about us wanting it changed back, but with infinitely more justification, you chinless, mewling iconoclasts.

Every world needs its antagonists and those antagonists have to be able to do Bad Things (tm), fuck, the Evil Queen in Snow White was more hardcore than the witches in Nu-Dolmenwood.

Dolmenwood was sold as a dark fairytale, and you know what happens in fairytales? Some fucked up shit let me tell you.
You never hear a small child complaining about a woman being burned alive in her own oven, or planning cannibalism, in Hansel & Gretel do you? Because even children can understand that evil people exist and they do fucked up shit.
Why is it that it's fine for der kinder, but apparently adults can't handle the same? Everything must be bland and grey and having Wickedness, capital W important, represented in anything isn't allowed because morality is subjective and everyone is the hero of their own story and dear god just typing it is making my soul yearn for violence.

Dolmenwood was doing something cool and a bit unique and you, fuckers that you are, have demanded all the edges be sanded down for the sake of your will to power, in all its faux softness and unending fragility.
You creatures with wallpaper paste instead of blood.

>Oooh, he's edgy, he said he wants edge, edgy-edgy boi, tell us all about Stonecold Steeldark the Edgeho-
Kvetch about edge until you die of collapsed lungs for all I care.
But riddle me this; what do you call a thing that has no edge to it?

They should have gone with jongleur. No offensive association to be made by Americans, but still keeps the medieval vibe and meaning. And actually specifically means a itinerant minstrel, so fits a PC even better as a descriptor than minstrel.

Huh? The reason I care about your whining is that every single time this game comes up, the ONLY thing that ANYONE talks about is that it's different from pre-release materials. Holy shit, a paragraph of description about this baron changed a single line - and yes, this unironically gets tons of you subhuman fucks bitching about it.

Can it be judged as the product it actually is, rather than the product you wish it was instead? No, of course not, you have to come into every thread to say, "You know, it's not the same as the product that I wanted to have instead." Yeah, no shit.

I mean we should throw out that we're talking exclusively about rape, because we're not. The goatmen are rapists, but that's not the only part that was excised: so too was the shallow genepool producing inbred monsters and the deep insecuriy complex. And the witches are not about rape, they just explicitly have an otherworldly sexuality: they are sexual with the gods they worship and celibate to the mundane world.

Like I'm gonna level with you anon, I get there are a lot of antisex freaks online today and especially in the TTRPG community where there is an obsession with claiming things are problematic as a means of self-worship, but I cannot off the top of my head recall any kind of folk horror story that didn't have at least an implicative sexual element. Sex is a part of the genre.

There are significant differences in art direction from the zone, the weird that befell drigbolton and the disneywood product.

I think you're confused anon. Most people don't care about the changes one way or another because they're a tiny footnote that has no impact on the game or the setting.

a iron bar is just as effective as caving in a persons head without a sharp edge. fun things are fun, the ultimate tone is set by you as the GM and not the words on a page as has been the case with RPGs from day 1.

Everyone can see you whine about petty bullshit. You guys LITERALLY created a document to "fix" the campaign book, and outlined the changelog here: >>96049707

There's like five pages of material difference there. This is why I say you're petty whiny bitchboys. Because you are. I joke and exaggerate because you turn every single discussion of Dolmenwood into these vague bitches because you've spent so long in /osrg/ circlejerking about how it's different that you've never engaged with any of the actual material on its own merits.

No you duplicitous, Californian motherfucker.
I judge it not by the product I wanted it to be, but by the product it WAS.
Shadowdark is a product where I go 'Man, I wish it did something more'
Dolmenwood is a product that did do something more, then cow-towed to your inane faggotry and took away what made it good.
The first is a disappointment, the second is damnable.

>inb4 some bullshit excuse about how it's actually reasonable because [Insert transparent bullshit here]

I don't need to summarize them myself, you guys already did:
>Restored the original relationship between Witch and Wood-God, as well as the prohibition on sexual contact except on the night of the summer solstice. Much omitted could not be restored, as it would take multiple pages. Consult Wormskin.

You had to do this, without it the game sucks, it's all that's worth talking about for an entire giant hexcrawl. Are the game mechanics any good? Random encounters? Towns? Are the hexes' interesting features actually interesting? All that matters is they changed something from Wormskin, now it sucks. Wormskin was basically the word of Christ, the most perfect RPG material ever written down, and they smeared shit across the Mona Lisa when they changed this "the" to an "a".

>>96057375
I live in Texas, faggot. I never read Wormskin, I read the Dolmenwood book because it has a giant hexcrawl with lots of material, and I judge it on the basis of the book that it is. Many works go through changes as they transition through editing, for a wide variety of reasons, but because you can tie it into kulturkampf bullshit it's all you can talk about. You choose to seethe about imaginary Californians who hate you because that's all you want to do, you don't want to play fucking RPGs, nobody came into your home and stole your copies of Wormskin and deleted them off your computer.

Yes, I'm in a thread about Dolmenwood, not Wormskin, because I read Dolmenwood, not Wormskin, and would like to discuss Dolmenwood, not Wormskin. Duh. Are you shocked when people in 5eg don't want to talk about 3.5e and didn't read it?

>>96057413
Why do you care so much? Bitch? I fucking started reading Dolmenwood to use its material in my campaign, thought, "Oh, I wonder if there's any interesting discussion on /tg/, maybe somebody encountered some problems with some of the material, maybe there's some class that has a wacky option, or a spell that's busted, or a monster that's way stronger than the designer thinks," and so I went to search the archives, and all I saw was you people constantly bitching, for months and months, making fucking blog posts and rewritten versions of the book.

The conversation is about Dolmenwood. You may look up at the OP, and find mentioned "Dolmenwood." Not Wormskin. This isn't a discussion about Wormskin. If somebody made a thread about Wormskin I would understand you talking about Wormskin and wanting people to have read Wormskin, but this isn't a thread about Wormskin.

Bro, you identify so strongly with a fucking zine for B/X that you consider someone a "weak person" for not giving a fuck that they changed it when they turned it into a hexcrawl, and compare it to the Mona Lisa and a lobotomy patient. I'm the "weak person"? Please.

I consider you a weak person because of your lack of a chin and principles in that order.
The fact you can't even identify a principle when its undertaken in front of you and have to resort to 'Oh it's only small changes, it's only little things, I don't care, no one should care' is how I identified you as such.
Shit, it could be Thirsty Sword Lesbians for all I care, the mutilation of a vision to instead create a product or appease the mob is iconoclism regardless of the piece being destroyed for those heckin' updoots on reddit.
That you can hear 'Something unique was broken apart and the pieces reused to make something bitch-ass generic' and not be bothered is inherently contemptible.
But you don't and will never understand this, so go talk to someone more on your level, like Disney Star Wars fans.

You soft, oversocialized faggot.

I'm not even defending Dolmenwood. I prepped some material from it but haven't had the opportunity to run it yet. I would love criticism of Dolmenwood that wasn't 1,000 variations on "it's different from Wormskin."

No point expecting more, though, it's all OSR types are capable of, though. It's literally a form of engagement with the hobby that amounts to "they changed it now they sucked" cranked up to 11.

>>96057635
>That you can hear 'Something unique was broken apart and the pieces reused to make something bitch-ass generic' and not be bothered is inherently contemptible.
This would be a good criticism if Dolmenwood was generic, but having read only Dolmenwood, it's clearly not generic (I mean, beyond the extent to which all fantasy-themed D&D-based games are).

So the problem is it's different from Wormskin. You schizo-posting about how it was done because Teh Reddit Mob FORCED the devs to change it. They broke into Gavin Norman's home and held him at gunpoint until he deleted the part where the goatmen raped people.

Alright, now we're getting somewhere. Let's see if we can leverage open that tiny little brain pan of yours and open you up to the possibility of you not just being wrong but fucking retarded.

Dolmenwood, by your own words, is better for being unique apart from all those little D&Disms that are in there, right?
What if it was more unique and less D&Disms? Would that be better again?
Yes? Good.
Now take those two points, build an extrapolation line and fuck off up it until you reach the natural conclusion.
>B-b-but it good
Yeah and it could've been great only to drill through its own kneecaps after taking everyone's dime.

It's a shame because it was one of those setting than actually made me feel the vibes of Folk/old fairy tales like no other. Being a fan of Beyond the Wall is was going to use it, being a fan of Wormskin.
So I started reading this, after reading it would be released phisically and... Just dozed off and started reading other stuff. Didn't grip me at all, all the weird stuff I wanted to read, just wasn't there.
Anyone can explain to me, why that massive change between what it was and... This? I'm just glad I didn't pledge to it.

Mostly, it's better by having a large amount of content. I would never have picked it up if it didn't have a massive hexcrawl.

>What if it was more unique and less D&Disms? Would that be better again?
None of the changes are the introduction of more D&Disms, though, except I guess technically the name "Bard" for a class, but I was told this was an unfair SJW parody insult to mention complaints about.

I don't think having mixed race children treated extremely poorly by both races is particularly unique, or goatmen doing rape and slavery. Frankly, "evil rapist slaving goatmen" is a VERY generic trope. So that leaves, what, that the Witch and the Wood-God not fucking any more?

I wanted a hexcrawl with lots of hexes keyed with things that amounted to more than "13 treants in their lair." I got a hexcrawl with lots of hexes keyed with things that amount to more than "13 treants in their lair." This is because I wanted lots of material for a hexcrawl, above what I could produce in a reasonable amount of time on my own.

it's called 'voting with your wallet', retard, and literally anyone with a brain does it. i stopped giving money to the Assassin's Creed series of video games after they killed off the original MC, which had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with storytelling integrity, and I stopped watching the television show My Name Is Earl when they watered down the characters to make them mpre palatable to normies.

If an IP does something you don't like, drop them and give your money to people that do. It's about the only real power left to the individual.

I agree that 'muh goatrape' is an odd hill to die on, but it definitely adds a flavor to the setting.

i've noticed that there's a tremendous amount of sensitivity in blacks about language like that. i have a black co-worker in his 60s, and we were talking about Bruce Lee movies over lunch one day. he looked at me like i slapped his mother when i pronounced the 'kun' in jeet-kun-do like you would in 'anon-kun', but because he heard it as 'coon' he got a little upset. we smoothed it over, no big deal, and he didn't get all assblasted like your average honky culture warrior would have. but i am mindful enough to pronounce it like the 'kun' in 'kung-fu' whenever it comes up anymore. which happens a fair bit, he likes kung-fu movies. but i can at least get it from him, he grew up in the 50s and 60s when shit was still relatively hairy. blacks today by and large only seem to use it as leverage against the culture warrior honkies to get more clout or resources, but they're cool when they know that you don't fold to that shit. i think a lot of black people take it as meaning you're not racist when you don't kowtow to the browbeating. if you aren't racist, why cower and grovel when you get called one, seems to be the logic.

there were even a couple black nerds who played D&D and MtG when i was in a government job training program, but only two of them stuck with it.

So it wouldn't surprise me they just can't take it, never met males than overeacted to anything like them.
