This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Itachi;966371Take a look at the Netflix animated film. It gives a spin on the original story by taking the POV of one of those tribal communities the protagonist meets in the manga and their struggle for survival. This new angle makes it a pretty interesting premise for a game. (I agree the original story would be hard to make into a game)

Blame would make an awesome game just like Into the Badlands which is based on a Chinese series called Into the West. 7 barons each controlling a single vital resource with armies of Clippers (Goons) with distinct martial art/sword and knife styles and Abbots that are running around kidnapping and draining people that have a 40k Psi abilities because they draw from a dark side and you keep what you get when you drain someone similar to Highlander.  Also the female characters kick ass without SJW. Awesome.

OH! I wasn't even aware there was an animated version, I'd only seen the manga. Cool!

Quote from: Baulderstone;966351I've hear that Miller was actually a player who joined the game late. The GM ran a solo investigative session that lead to him ending up at the same place as the rest of the group.

Heh, that's awesome.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans
