Quote from: Hakdov on August 21, 2021, 01:07:57 PMHonestly I enjoy it mainly because of the generic fantasy tropes.  It's unabashedly based on D&D.
Then you have a very large dirth of options (in anime), almost all better than it.

Il start you off with dungeon meshi

I read a couple of those but found it got boring fairly quickly.  The whole eating everything shtick didn't keep my interest. 

One small series of light novels (unfortunately never turned into manga) I did enjoy that are similar to GS but much tamer are The Adventures of Duan Surk

Cos I was interested in this when it was announced, I've done a bit of internet searching today. From what I can pick up (but I may be wrong) I'm reasonably certain that the basis of the game is popular Japanese rpg Sword World. It's been modified to match the Goblin Slayer universe (ie adventurers have 10 levels, porcelain -> platinum, 8 playable classes Warrior, Martial Artist, Ranger, Scout, Wizard, Priest, Dragon Priest And Spirit Messenger (4 Martial, 4 Spell Casters), Playable Races Human, High Elf, Half Elf, Dwarf, Lizard Folk, Rhea) and the Japanese version of Goblin Slayer TTRPG was released about the same time as Sword World 2.5 (which I assume the Goblin Slayer TTRPG is based upon). A Goblin Slayer Supplement (Japanese) was released in 2021.

If it is based on Sword World then that is pretty bemusing as Stord World started out as a BX D&D campaign that was novelized then turned into the anime Record of Lodoss War. TSR denied permission to adapt Lodoss to D&D so eventually they developed their own RPG.

Goblin slayer is trash. Just because it makes sjws jump doesn't mean it's good.
As a setting it has barely a unique bone in its body, so a rpg based purely off of shock factor is bleh.

I'd say its more in the same vein as Warhammer. One of those brutal settings where death is around every corner. Theres quite a few. Each with their own take on the concept. This one just plays up the violence factor in its own way. Theres others out there exponentially more violent.

Warhammer has more style, and it plagarized from better sources. This is more akin to an isekai, except the protagonist isn't from a different dimension. But considering how faceless he is, he could as well be.

Is it more isekai-like stuff? Dungeon meshi has the theme of food through the whole story, but the worldbuilding, ecology, and party dynamics Id say are second to none.

In terms of a 'logical' dungeon, Dungeon Meshi does it the best.

No, it wasn't isekai (which I generally dislike).  It was like GS in that the world was very much like an rpg setting and adventuring was a profession with levels.

Thats a very sjw mindset. Spite consumerism is always dumb.

   Yeah, I agree here, especially with regard to this setting, it seemed to be extremely generic.

If you want to see more games that do not bend the knee to the SJW narrative; then they need to be supported.

Granted, if money matters in your personal financial situation; then don't buy something you will never play.

It looks to be a Sword world derivative:

I've always wanted to dig into the fantasy game that beat D&D on its native soil - so now I'll get to see what the system is like. (I just like studying different systems...)

Also: The wailing, moaning and gnashing of teeth that the Goblin Slayer RPG exists.

So I get to hit two birds with one stone.

A win-win for me.

Indeed... That's one of the reasons I buy games like these, in order to facilitate future production of indie or more 'controversial' material - not that I see this as particularly problematic after reading about it. I mean, who didn't see Legend of the Overfiend back int he day?? I also support plenty of indie devs who's stuff I might not like as much as other stuff. Same as I watch people's youtube channels.

And if people see me 'supporting' indie devs as 'spite consumerism' and shallow I'm completely alright with that. ;D

And as a bonus, I delight in schadenfreude of censorious SJW dweebs.

I think its source material is trash and largely dime a dozen among modern anime. Pissing off SJWs with rape is about its only noteworthy feature.
Almost all of fantasy anime uses extremely generic fantasy tropes (grounded in wizardry and dragon warrior).
Maybe its amazing and defies source material standards, but I doubt it.

This forum had a 14-page thread about a $3500-dollar kickstarter with <200 backers, but do go on about how hysterical SJWs are. So much tee-heeing over how mad the libs are gonna be about some niche weeb shit. You guys creaming your jeans about wasting money on a game you'll never play are embarassing yourselves. I'll bet no one gives a shit about this game, any  more than they do F.A.T.A.L., or the Project Veritas "expose" of Hasbro that no one remembered two days after it happened. Don't let me stop the circlejerk, though. You fellas carry on.

Call it a hunch that some "edgy" anime game won't become the runaway tabletop hit of the year.
