Hey, I'm fine with un-woke, and I'm fine with anti-woke. Un-woke is probably easier to invite other people to than anti-woke, but anti-woke may be safer in the long term.

2020-07-31 22:24:41 UTC  

True

2020-07-31 22:24:53 UTC  

It's a fun game

2020-07-31 22:25:02 UTC  

But it takes forever sometimes

2020-07-31 22:25:12 UTC  

My last game lasted 6 hours

2020-07-31 22:37:32 UTC  

so H3 MCC is going to have Weapon Skins as well as weapons from Halo 3 ODST added to it when ODST launches for PC

@mathgrant Exalted ain't bad. It's more like RP'ing as an action anime character

2020-07-31 23:56:49 UTC  

@Mauler 6 hours is a short HOI4 game

2020-07-31 23:57:10 UTC  

Hoi4 is stupid long with some mods

2020-07-31 23:57:38 UTC  

Flames of war os a tabletop game

2020-07-31 23:57:42 UTC  

I know

2020-07-31 23:57:46 UTC  

I’m just comparing

2020-07-31 23:57:49 UTC  

And it was a relatively small game

2020-07-31 23:57:55 UTC  

Only 200 points

2020-07-31 23:58:22 UTC  

I think I’ve played a 9 hour game straight and finished up 4ish hours the next day

2020-07-31 23:59:02 UTC  

Oof

2020-07-31 23:59:07 UTC  

albeit i was trying to take over the entirety of asia 🤔

2020-07-31 23:59:07 UTC  

Side bar: whats the difference between anti-woke and un-woke?

2020-07-31 23:59:34 UTC  

Unwoke is neutral and stay quite

2020-07-31 23:59:41 UTC  

Anti woke would be us

2020-07-31 23:59:51 UTC  

Am i somewhere in the ball park

2020-08-01 00:00:04 UTC  

I could buy it

2020-08-01 00:00:08 UTC  

lol

@kriegor191 I'm told that Pathfinder has a kitsune race in it, and if I'm going to be playing an RPG, I'll be more more invested if I can be a fox instead of an orc or an elf or something.

2020-08-01 00:26:52 UTC  

I've run RPGs online and off for decades. If there was an interest, I'd be willing to give running one a shot.

2020-08-01 00:49:22 UTC  

The overall game focuses more on story telling than rolls. Rolls are important but the game rewards you for thinking through an action and having it A) Make sense and B) Being awesome

2020-08-01 00:50:09 UTC  

Now when I say "makes sense." I mean as far as super ridiculous action sequences go.

2020-08-01 03:32:32 UTC  

To be clear, I'm looking for recommendations of a tabletop gaming community that isn't woke, and that's devoted to tabletop gaming more broadly than a single game. I used to log all of my tabletop game plays on a website that ends in "eek", which is how any rational person should be responding to the Burn Loot Murder movement, but instead the admins of this site decided to be woke af, so I'm not interested anymore.

2020-08-01 03:34:28 UTC  

Are you looking for miniatures tabletop, or pen and paper style?

2020-08-01 03:37:34 UTC  

> I'm mostly into abstract strategy games (AbStrats), because they tend to have rules which are easier to learn and easier to teach to normies.
I'm actually the designer of three such games, but I don't know what the server's views on shameless self-promotion for things being sold on other websites is. They're not quite pencil-and-paper games (like Hangman), and they're not miniatures games.

2020-08-01 03:38:29 UTC  

Okay, that narrows it down.

2020-08-01 03:39:22 UTC  

I know of Roll20, which is a site for pen and paper and board games online.

2020-08-01 03:39:38 UTC  

I've never actually used them, but I've heard good things.

2020-08-01 03:40:27 UTC  

In any event, the website I used to use had pretty much every board game that ever existed, plus sister sites for tabletop RPG's and video games. As a database, it's pretty useful. As a place to log how often you've played each game you own, it's also useful. I just prefer not to give traffic to the site anymore because of the wokeness.

2020-08-01 03:41:36 UTC  

The last RPG I ran was on here, about five years ago. I just used my own server room, we all met up, had a good time.

2020-08-01 03:46:28 UTC  

I've used Tabletop Simulator in the past for playing virtual board games. It's sort of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none thing. Most games, in my opinion, benefit from being played elsewhere if possible because other sites and programs can enforce the rules more, but for games unavailable elsewhere, it's the simplest way to make those games playable.

2020-08-01 03:46:43 UTC  

@mathgrant promoting something is fine

2020-08-01 03:47:02 UTC  

As long as you don't beg or try o force people

2020-08-01 03:48:50 UTC  

Okay, here's one of the games I've had published, by a small publisher in Spain: <https://www.nestorgames.com/#mammalath_detail>
