i joined a clan then i found out that some people are slaves to their guild more than slaves in fucking rust

then again, i'm too shy to make new friends in guilds or anything

and most of my friends didnt want to play the games, or they couldn't (specs, space, etc.)

so i think that's part of why i never got into MMOs

so what u mean about ff11 is that
you have agency in building your character?

i literally only know the proper idea of subjobbing because of FFd20

~~don't play FFd20, unless you like terrible balance~~

it sounds like fun, actually... but the only issue is that they still charge a fee to play it, and i'm not gay enough to pay sqenix monthly to play an RPG when i can just play a tabletop RPG 🤔

i mean, that sounds like both a good and a bad thing

on one hand, it's easier to get into

on the other, most people will probably substitute you for an NPC if you suck lol

and thus lack of need for other players' cooperation

although if FF11 plays wonky like NWN does for a zoomer like me

i will be unable to play it because i wasn't gifted with that type of autism to adapt to primitive UI

ill keep to my uh

tabletop RPGs

because my autism is compatible with that

i thought it was princess fucker

not estradiol popper

but yea, im one of them autists who cannot play bido gems for the most part

at least anymore

i wish it was me being bad

unless it's strategy games

if it's empire-based/country-based/resource management, i usually suck, either way

like, i tried playing twilight imperium 4e with some of the guys i played shadowrun 5e with

but if it's unit-based, and not RTS

i usually am ok with it, but im not great

also, i'm kind of merging 'strategy' with 'tactics' here, when i say 'strategy'

but turn-based tactics games can be ok for me

i like them

stuff like that, and battle brothers

battle brothers is one of the few games that's kept my attention for quite a while

like for at least a year, i've been coming back to it

i got your reference

this reminds me

40k's wargames are too autistic for me

dice buckets

but i play shadowrun, so i'm a hypocrite

but on a virtual tabletop, so less so

i am hit

i need to get into EDF

but im poorfag af

bug murder

very cool

i am also quite hyped to play some degenesis: rebirth with the group i'm not perma-DM in

love me some post-apoc RPGs

you can play it on tabletop sim

...or just buy the cheap armies

kek

but the armies arent the only issue with playing it physically

it's also the literal buckets of dice

dice for the dice god, buckets for the bucket throne

i only have one set of standard RPG dice in my 'collection'

collection meaning, i only have those kek

because i only ever played pathfinder 1e in person with anyone, besides a few non-RPG games that had sticker-dice

and the only regular games i play are online

which i mean, i would not have played shadowrun if it was in-person

shadowrun has so many fucking dice involved with just doing basic stuff

na

i got into shadowrun when one of my players asked if anyone was interested in shadowrun

and i was like

"uhh, sure, im not 100% sure what it is, but i'm willing to try it"

and it was worth it

shadowrun 5e is an absolute trash heap of a system, but it's pretty damn fun with house rules

it's somehow better than 6e shadowrun

6e is literally unfinished in its CRB

and they ruined decking to just being gay and buttfucking the system

and you can only deck for a few passes before G.O.D. converges on you and you're dumped from the matrix

and they made adepts pointless karma-dumps

that's why i don't play warhammer

i don't like counting thousands of dice

i played warhammer and got fucked by my friend's tau army while i was playing uhh

oh, yeah

it was an eldar army

it was my first time and i barely knew what abilities my guys had

and then within a few turns

he teleports 2 of his mech-units just behind my army

and then rapes my infantry

and my armor wipes them out

just barely

because he rolled so well on invuln saves

or whatever they're called

it was very painful

my brain is not built for wargames

especially not 1000 dice ones

i like 40k's lore and aesthetics, yea

even if it's both the most cool but also dumb universe i've ever heard of

it being grimdark is very funny

i need more tabletop in my life, but i dont have enough time nor brain capacity

i can't get into text RP

if u mean freeform, especially not that

i used to be into text-based RP

when i was younger

but my liking it died out eventually

f

i like making characters and then both actually roleplaying, but also playing their mechanics

it's ok

i run a PF1e group

with 4 players in it
