Thread 96798037

ttrpgtube is chock full of trash. What are some decent channels? Bandit's Keep and WebDM have some fun ideas, and captcorajus too

I've learned that any opinion /tg/ holds, the truth is actually the opposite. So Bandit's Keep and WebDM are both dogshit.

wasn't there a term named after someone, that someone wanted an 's' to be added, so it would butcher their surname...
and this dude said "let's agree to disagree" and renamed the whole thing after himself?

I value advice and reviews of Seth Skorkowsky and RPGGamer.

>>96798313
never use that word even as a joke. the dude was such a creep the honoree wanted nothing to do with him and asked him to take her name out of his mouth. his reaction was to name it after himself while trying to explain how he isn't really a pest.

>>96799414
Yeah, Jaquays got fucked over and then died of Guillain–Barré syndrome. Shit sucks, especially as she was one of the greatest designers in TTRPG history.

If you weren't dense, you would spot the answer before writing the question down

Bless Seth Skorkowsky for being one of the only creators of note that rarely if ever talks about D&D, and even when he does it's usually pre-3.X. He's also pretty funny on top of having some of the best insights in the space.

Bobworldbuilder gets credit for talking about/pushing indie RPGs/non-D&D stuff pretty frequently, though he's still circling the 5e drain.

>>96798163
What the fuck are you doing here if you don't care what other people think, you retarded faggot? For your own fucking opinion, you stupid cocksucker.

>>96799797
Maybe pest was the wrong word (it has a certain connotation?), but the dude is an annoying twerp who wants to inject himself into game design that happened before he was born. He was self-centered throughout the whole saga never thinking about how his actions affected Jacquays. Although a known figure she was more or less done writing TTRPGs by 1990, then twenty years later he brought her a whole bunch of unwanted attention using her name to promote himself.

Use of that word became a social minefield, with "helpers" following people around correcting their spelling and anti-trans activists attacking people who used it. None of this happens without the alexandrian, and however you want to frame it she took every step she could to disassociate from him. He says she didn't threaten to sue him, but he got legal advice just in case. After all that he goes and names it after himself and asks everyone else to update their blogs to use his name too.

Keep in mind this is the version that paints him in the best possible light and he still comes off as an insensitive clod.

>>96800278
>it has a certain connotation?
yeah, I was imagining a sex pest. You know how some people get with girls online

Any decent actual plays that aren't D&D/Pathfinder? Preferably ones I can listen to while at work?

The only ones I can find are recorded with a hidden body mic from the 80's, die within 3 30 minute episodes, have nothing to do with the game and are just open roleplaying, or just aren't good.

>>96800355

Black Pants Legion has done a Dark Heresy playthrough of a police procedural game. No one was allowed to make a policeman.

They then did a Traveller game. scrounged a ship, delivered a letter.

GFC's DnD is cool.
I'm going to stop recommending him one of these days if he never updates his blog or channel again though.
I know you can see this.

>>96800136
I am descending down upon you to bring you enlightenment. I do not care about your opinion, because it's wrong. I do not care about the opinions of others, because they are wrong. Do you know how I know that they are wrong? If they weren't wrong, they'd be facts. Likewise, when I speak, I will clearly delineate whether I am talking about my opinions (which don't matter) and facts (which are objectively and provably correct).

Which brings me to my original point: you do not need anyone else to voice their opinions at you. If you engage with the system, you will form your own opinions. Anything else can be found in the system, extrapolated from the system, or reverse engineered from the system.

Dixi.

>>96800773
So what's the point of coming here, then? Just to share my own opinion and learn/teach some new facts?

>>96798125
It was a term he came up with, that he changed after talking with Jennel Jaquays and, I believe, his publishers lawyers.

It's not like it was a term someone else named after Jaquays. It's a term he came up with.

>>96798037 (OP)
Seth Skorkowski is pretty great. He only reviews things he's actually run or played, which puts him far beyond most """""reviewers""""" who never actually play the thing they are reviewing. I wish he'd do more war stories, those are fun.

>>96800820
Pretty much, yes. I've been here a long time and the time of taking knowledge from this place is long gone. Now it is my turn to give back.

>>96800773
>you do not need anyone else to voice their opinions at you
It's fun to talk about a hobby and it's fun to listen to other people talk about the hobby
That's part of having a hobby

Don't get it?
Just leave the thread... and actually leave the board because that's what it's for as well

The list of useful channels for me at forming my own ideas and opinions.
In this order of appearance in my descent into the rabbit hole of game design philosophy.

>Matt Colville, exposure to some old school ideas
>Questing Beast, more exposure to OS ideas
>GFC'S DND, more OS ideas
>Joethelawyer, more OS ideas, too much vitriol and finding my brain too saturated with OS ideas and coming back to some neutral NuSR ground

Then I began actually reading books and found the share thread and got into merging ideas from multiple sources. Make your own shit.
This is the "sub-creation" thing Tolkien spoke of, I believe. You just have to start making your own world and rules after getting enough of others ideas. The creative mind can't help but create.

Also doing terrain crafting, mini-painting, world-building. running the actual sandbox game and game design almost every day keeps the balance and the mind fresh. Could add drawing maps and painting if I feel like it.

A focus on games that aren't 4e/5e DnD/5e clones/Pathfinder. In-depth discussion of mechanics and subsystems, general philosophy when it comes to running and playing in games. If systems are being reviewed, I want them to be discussed in-depth and for it to be clear that the tuber has run/played the game and actually spent time thinking about the game. Also, I don't want them to be afraid of being critical of a system, but I also don't want them to do some annoying Nostalgia Critic bit while doing so. War stories and even skits are fine if they're actually entertaining (See: Seth Skorkowsky).

He died.
Paul trooned out

>>96798037 (OP)
Skorkowsky is like the only youtube personality doing gaming that combines:
- actual on-hand experience
- playing and running the games he's talking about
- always giving advice in the context of specific systems and styles of play, instead of using/trying to use DnD as the frame of reference
- having funny skids (not always, but humor is subjective anyway) without losing topic from sight
He still has his purely personal hang-ups (obsessively shitting on anything outlining in your team, like a character with backstory that doesn't fit or the party not always working together, both of which he will have a seizure about) and not all his advice are good (he repetitively advice to gang up in combat, and that doesn't work across all systems), but compared with the sea of mediocrity and open shitposting by clueless faggots around? Damn, he's a golden standard of where to even strive to be.

>>96812637

I keep on trying to get into games with Mage's magic system Ars Magicabut the actual making of the spells sharts my brain. Mostly because fitting a spell into the guidelines on Magnitude keeps on tripping me up.

>Alexandrian
He celebrated Charlie Kirk being k-lled, with a cryptic tweet about Hitler the day after it happened. That fucking faggot can go to hell. His DM advice is mostly shit anyway. Gonna be quite honest, most DMs with a lot of experience figure out stuff like The Three Clue Rule or monster squads in dungeons after a few years anyway. He's a piece of shit honestly. I would read his blog, not giving a fuck about his leftist views, but then he showed that he wishes everyone who disagrees with him dead, in the most bitchy passive aggressive smug way possible. He can go to hell. He would love to see me and a good chunk of posters in this board killed or put in jail. so I've printed out his tweet on tiny pieces of paper and have slipped it into copies of his book at bookstores so that people who buy it know exactly who they are buying from. Many won't care, but I feel it's only fair people know that there's a fair chance the author of the book wants them dead.

>>96803531
>>Matt Colville, exposure to some old school ideas

>He celebrated Charlie Kirk being k-lled
"A worthy sacrifice towards maintaining the second amendment."

>>96823612
The thing is, I agree. I think he would agree too, if he really believes in what he says. But there's a difference between "it's kinda ironic how you died" versus "I'm gonna sneakily subtly compare you to Hitler and everyone knows what I'm talking about but maintain plausible deniability cause I'm a pussy, but at the same time imply you deserved it because you said words I disagree with"

Nah fuck that. He said I disagreed with for years and I still read his blog. I never wished death on him, even though he would probably support my son being taken away by state authorities if I don't help him cut his dick off. But still I didn't. I never gave him money, but I was friendly toward him. Not anymore. I also emailed each FLGS nearby that I saw carrying the book and told them they are carrying the book of a guy who supports murder and if they didn't get rid of it I would leave a bad google review. Fuck it I don't care. FLGS are doomed anyway the way WotC does things now.

>>96823535
>then he showed that he wishes everyone who disagrees with him dead
I think you are really putting words in his mouth
All he said is that he won't feel much pain over that killing

which is literally OK

>>96823731
>All he said is that he won't feel much pain over that killing
No he said the guy was still a piece of shit who wanted to hurt others. Meaning of you died he wouldn't give a fuck. If you have conservative beliefs and you died and he found out about them, he wouldn't give a fuck. And the REASON is because of your beliefs. None of this "millions of people die every day" reductionist bullshit.

>>96824281
I did but cope more.

>>96824300
Sanctimonious how? I'm just saying you shouldn't patronize people who want you dead. I never wished harm on him, for the same reason he wishes harm on me, implicitly.
Or maybe you're just some leftist in which case shut the fuck up because you wanted us to worship a dead criminal.
Or you're an enlightened centrist, in which case kill yourself by default.

>>96824414
>nogames tourist does his best to turn this into a /pol/ thread
Kirk deserved it (and worse). I laughed my ass off when it happened, and still crack jokes about it to this day. Cope, seethe, and kill yourself.

On the other hand i m gonna come out and say it. I m glad that fascist fuck caught a bullet. He deserved much worse honestly and if you feel like you re on his side them you undoubtedly deserve one as well

>>96824629
>>96824618
>>96824607
It's very clear what his message was. Stop being a retarded cuck. Either you agree with the statement he made, or you realize that he has basically admitted he was joyful to see it done. Stop taking everything at face value you dumbass, you're playing his game, and thinking anyone is falling for it. Anyone whose beliefs were similar to Charlie's, seeing this tweet, understand the subtext.
>implicit i.e. not real
HAHAHAHAHAHA
This isn't a court of law you stupid fuck. It's very easy to understand what he meant. The nuance you desperately wish to see just isn't there. The implication of "he was a piece of shit who wanted to hurt other people" IS that he deserved it. He also didn't mention the guy by name, he was talking about hitler. For the sake of plausible deniability. You gonna pretend he posted it the day after this happened is a coincidence too?

>>96824704
>he didnt actually say that he is glad he died. just that he wont feel that bad about it
Yeah, because he's glad it happened. If he didn't give a fuck, he wouldn't say anything at all, retard. You know exactly why he made that comment. Stop mincing words.
>wahhhh he said bad things about trannies
Did he say they deserve to die?
>fascist
Completely incorrect. Kys faggot. I'm so glad you guys finally came into TTRPGs just in time for them to become the greediest most enshittified version of themselves possible. With payment subscriptions and overpriced dogshit oroducts. You conquered the RPG space just to find it the exact corporate shit hole you always despised. Enjoy your empire of dirt faggot.

>>96824773
why are you so triggered by his lack of empathy when it is exactly the type of reaction conservatives make when people talk about the genocide in gaza?
Bro, the president and the entire administration are fascist fucks that deploy literal concentration camps for the "undesirables" against the wishes of literally every state they intervened in and the general public.
You cant go much more fascist than this.
If you support the current regime you are a fascist fuck as well and you deserve to be necked unironically.

As for the rpg landscape, i dont give a fuck. I ve been playing for more than 15 years and all the systems i ll ever touch are 10+ years old and not i m not referring to 5e. the entire industry can crush and burn for all i care.

I wish he had the balls to wish for death to every geriatric fuck in the current administration but alas he is a public figure who cares too much about his image

>>96824574
You don't need to be an edgy troll to see humor in the irony of Kirk's death. He thought so highly of himself yet failed to see that what he was saying may get him killed. And that not the only funny thing about this as at the end of the day the way he died is the only thing of note he did in his worthless life. Right wing retards loud mouths are a dime a dozen so the only way Kirk was really able to stand out was die from his own retardation

>>96824829
>you deserve to die for saying what Israel tells you to or else they kill you
>then Israel kills him anyway
>you can't get more fascist than deporting illegal immigrants
>there are some instances of citizens accidentally deported as collateral damage so that means they're just deporting all brown people
I think you can get a lot more fascist than this. Such as, actual Nazi Germany for example.
Let me ask you: if I wrote an RPG book you were gonna buy, and I hated you because of your beliefs and wanted you dead, wouldn't you (1) want to know, and (2) presuming you did know, willingly or not, would you still want to buy my book?

Because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't. So that's all I'm doing. Making sure people are aware of his views.

>>96824742
>Either you agree with the statement he made, or you realize that he has basically admitted he was joyful to see it done
no and no
I really don't care about Kirky boi, never watched his vids, when I heard the news, I just shrugged and went on
though it was pretty funny momentary when I learnt he literally said victims of shootings are a justified price for 2nd A (which I agree with btw) ngl
>It's very easy to understand what he meant
if you want to see some meaning you are going to see some meaning
but that's not there, it's in your head

>>96824829
OK this is pretty obviously bait

>>96824867
>You don't need to be an edgy troll to see humor in the irony of Kirk's death.
I do see the irony and appreciate it. Even though I thought he was a christcuck and an Israeli bot, I didn't wish him dead. And yes it is ironic any time someone who believes in gun rights is killed by a gun. Like all the leftists murdered by illegal immigrants.
>He thought so highly of himself yet failed to see that what he was saying may get him killed.
I'm pretty sure him hiring security mesns he was very aware of that possibility, yes. They failed to secure the rooftops, that's pretty fuckin retarded. But he definitely was aware he could be killed.
>And that not the only funny thing about this as at the end of the day the way he died is the only thing of note he did in his worthless life. Right wing retards loud mouths are a dime a dozen so the only way Kirk was really able to stand out was die from his own retardation
I never followed him but I knew he was pretty much the biggest voice in conservative outreach. Are you retarded? Do you see me saying the Young Turks are a bunch of nobodies who did nothing? I don't wish harm.on the Young Turks btw, even though I find them obnoxious and their beliefs would harm me if carried to fruition.

>>96824912
>Are you retarded?

>>96824876
"illegal" how do you get here legally? you don't kinda unless you re a white european or australian.
You are also here for years and years maybe even decades paying taxes, working and contributing to society, but you dont have the proper kind of paper and your name sounds mexican.
Come on anon. Immigrants were never the problem. More than a few industries rely entirely on them to operate.
Poverty and exploitation were always the problem. Using pseudolegal excuses to do dehumanising shit is just a few steps from straight up nazism.
Considering human life to be collateral damage is the most dehumanising shit you can bother saying and precisely the reason people dont feel much empathy for shitty right wingers.


Also i am not even against what you are doing conceptually.
It's a form of activism for your side.
Petty for sure and you would get further with a social media post but whatever.

>>96824891
>if you want to see some meaning you are going to see some meaning
>but that's not there, it's in your head
All meaning is in your head retard. You're an actual child if you don't understand context and innuendo. Learn what a dog whistle is you stupid faggot. It is clear what his feeling on the matter is and so people should know about it and do what they will with that info.
Again if you want to laugh in here about it that's completely different. This is an anonymous image board. See how context matters?

Cool now you're just trolling with no effort involved. You're trying so hard to fall in line with his plausible deniability and fake attempt at nuance. But it doesn't matter. The fact is, if you're a conservative and die, he doesn't give a fuck about you. So he either hates conservatives or lacks any human empathy. Which is it? Don't give this "lol millions of people die every day" bullshit either, because in that case he simply wouldn't know it happened to comment on it.

And yeah I am, cause it means he wants me dead too. Yep. Justin Alexander, if he knew me, would want me dead. And it's funny cause I actually did have a few friendly interactions with him. I knew he was a leftoid but that's fine. I can get past that. I never had a personal connection with him but still, kinda sad to see him post such stupid shit. Don't get mad when your enemies employ the same tactics you gleefully employed against them a few years ago.

>>96824333

>>96825035

>>96824949

Yeah right and not mourning St. George Floyeded is literally wanting every black person dead

>>96823465
I think Roll4It have done some actual plays?

>>96825114
Actually it's funny cause I do have some friends who celebrated his death and I find it funny that that means they want me dead indirectly, just for agreeing with maybe 50 to 60 percent of that dudes viewpoints. It's crazy too cause I hide my power level well. But I also accomplish more, politically and in life in general, than they ever will.

But to your point, no obviously he doesn't give a shit if I live or die. Because he doesn't know me. But if he did he would despise me and wish me harm. Probably would wish my girlfriend harm too even though she doesn't agree with my politics, just for the crime of dating me. It's crazy.

Again, Justin Alexander was very careful to phrase his statement for plausible deniability. But he still laid his true beliefs bare and clear.

>>96825172
>Yeah right and not mourning St. George Floyeded is literally wanting every black person dead
When did I say Justin Alexander wanted all white people dead? This isn't a race thing lmao. Do I want all blacks criminals who threatened a pregnant woman with a gun dead? No but I want them in jail. Dead is a fine alternative. If that menss black criminals don't buy my books that's fine.

I believe they were playing through some sort of classic megadungeon module where there's just a town to use as a home base and a dungeon with who knows how many floors to crawl through. The youtube thumbnail was possibly the modules cover or a map and was in a black and white sketch style.

The alexandrian guy simple saw that the caverns of thracia module was great, decided it had good design principles, and named those principles after the person who wrote the module, a bloke named Jaquays.
Saying that he named the term to promote himself is some revisionist bullshit.
Whether he's a creep or not is not relevant to the actual facts of the original article named Jaquaying.

>so I've printed out his tweet on tiny pieces of paper and have slipped it into copies of his book at bookstores so that people who buy it know exactly who they are buying from. Many won't care, but I feel it's only fair people know that there's a fair chance the author of the book wants them dead.

Hell, he could have used that as cover type and I would have bought the book.

>>96824687
And posters like you here are like looking in the toilet bowl and seeing a turd. Honestly, completely unsurprising.

I feel like most TTRPG content, be it forums, this place or YouTube becomes kinda useless once you're experienced enough. When I started playing TTRGPs 9 years ago I liked having all these resources and places with experienced people to ask questions at my disposal.

But I've been playing weekly sessions for 9 years now, for some years even MULTIPLE weekly sessions with very different groups, mostly offline but some online too.
From time spent in game (I both GM and play) I probably trump many of these content creators and you kinda start seeing that they have nothing left to teach you and you'd have enough anecdotes and experience to start teaching them instead.

When new editions drop and you couldn't get your hands on it yet it's of course worth checking stuff out but that's about it.

There's still of course the entertainment factor but that's about it.

>>96823731
I think the idea of professional counter-strike skin sellers killing themselves after the market crashed is actually so funny and absurdist that beyond "not caring" it tiptoes over the line into "trying not to laugh at the funeral" territory honestly

>>96829600
I work as something like a software dev in a large city and went through one year of training. 10 other people roughly my age went through the same training and I made some friends with some of them. I pitched a D&D one shot, they became hooked and it turned into a long running campaign.
They all work in different departments after that training year but it's still the same company so we essentially already were all in the same place all week and had near identical schedules. So "after work D&D every Wednesday" was pretty easy to do when your whole group is already in the same building as you.


My 2nd group is just a bunch of friendships I acquired over the years and we figured out blocking a set day f in the week for TTRPGs is way, way more effective than trying to find a new date after every session. So we've had Thursday as our TTRPG day and we play different games with different GMs. Currently two campaigns and two GMs take turns.


If you want my advice: Force your friends to play with you and make everyone make room in their schedule for a set day every week. So when they make plans they say
>oh I can't do Tuesday, that's my D&D-day
instead of trying to find a new date every time and them already having plans there.

looking at dndtube, it's all 30 to 40 year old Americans. Black and White.
Is TTRPG a dying genre entertainment too? American comics, all boomers, American RPG, all old people.

Only American video game has any young people.

Hobbies need young people participating on it, to keep going into the future/

>>96829106
You know that bell curve of experience, where people who know a bit feel like they can't learn any more, but they're actually not anywhere near as good as they think? Honestly I've been GMing for 15 years and I still watch advice videos for occasional ideas.
I've been a foreverGM in that time, so I've never been exposed to how other people run things, it's refreshing to hear ideas and mechanics I might never have considered. I just wish half or entire episodes weren't writeoffs explaining D&D mechanics when it's not a system I use. It's why I appreciate people like Seth Skorkowsky for being system-neutral. Quite like Mystic Arts recently, too, got me using Obsidian to organise my notes and encouraged me to do a hexcrawl in my WFRP game.

>>96819174
Like 90 percent of vtubers were arts/theatre students who made a very convenient pivot so without having watched any of these they probably are decent for what they are if you prioritize narrative and immersion over core gameplay

I was a regular in his server at the time he posted this. I was banned shortly after for no official reason, but I'm sure it was just because I was moderately rightwing at the time. (Mind you, other members of the server would bring up their support for AntiFa and socialism and would complain about Hitler unprompted. It's a public server so you can probably check yourself if you're obsessed enough.)

The funny thing is that the animated reactions like that fire emoji weren't even implemented to the site until years after he posted this so that means someone must've went all the way back just to add their Reddit award to the post.

Just found the Second Wind guys do games.

Black Lodge Games are a BAPist psyop competing for oxygen in the TTRPGtube space.

Bold strategy and some fresh takes on familiar IPs, but the dogwhistle keywords really prick the ears - their analysis of why Vampire 5e doesn't quite work is really solid, though.

>>96823556
What Colville taught me was the potential great fun in rolling for ability scores and then "finding the character" through play, NOT before the actual play with extensive backstories.
Initially I rejected the idea, but that got me into the rabbit hole of thinking about game philosophy in depth.
The old school idea I had in mind was just that, but I should have used some other term for it. Given how sensitive people are to definitions on this board.
Then there is Questing Beast's advice playlist which are much more nice and concise than many other grognards'.
TUNIC principle, Six Cultures of Play article, Survival Horror elevator pitch and Stop hiding traps, to name a few, were effective in turning me towards creating better games for me and my players.

>>96855781
>now they're taking Synthwave, Pepe the Frog, Mac Tonite and TTRPG.

>>96798037 (OP)
Quinn's Quest. A bit of a leftist but I enjoy the high production quality and the fact he plays a campaign with a system before reviewing it. I also like how he interviews the game devs to see the 'why' of it all. Very entertaining and a good communicator. Also talks about how games run and feel for both sides of the table.

Also, his antics and aura remind me of my Very British college roommate. I miss that guy. He's not dead, he just disappeared from public life after getting hired by a defense contractor.

As much as I think most of his opinions are dogshit and he thinks he's more experienced/informed than he is, he does put the work in both researching and communicating his views, and he does maintain a consistent critic's voice, so he's putting out better review material than 99.9% of RPG reviewers by a country mile.

My favourite example of this in acting is Olag Gan from Blakes 7. David Jackson was given not much more than "A powerful but morose man" to work with, and in the hands of a lesser actor, he would have been like Eeyore on steroids, but he played him as a gentle giant, always smiling, with a kind word for everyone, and occasional outbursts of violence. But then they were discussing a suicide mission, and his smile didn't falter once, it just got bigger and bigger, and you realise he was a Stepford Smiler, and a death seeker, and he'd actually just put his own spin on the original description.

"too long;didn't read" started on 4chan you fuckinf newfag.

This guy was extremely autistic but had some good ideas if you could get past his 3 CHR. Most interestingly he'd have a flash of human insight occasionally, but it'd be wrong, and he'd do things like dye his George Costanza hair green to appeal to sjw's even though his rpg views were 100% OSR.

Master Manuel solis de Doble 20 is generally a mixed bag, he is leftist without being woke (too preachy) and I like the way he actually explains stuff and doesn't beat the bush.

But sometimes he catters to actual far leftists in his comment section by cherry picking (allegedly) chud or grognard comments and letting the audience (sometimes badly) refute them.

Guilty by asociation, because being leftist isn't a deadly sin but cattering to the small part of your audience who doesn't bat an eye at wishing to genocide christians and right wingers is The bad part.
