I doubt when people were asking for years for an asscreed in japan, they wanted to play a white (or black) dude. there's literally no logical reason why the cool assassin shit can't be done by someone japanese. fuck you could even add a cute female for coomer bonus AND make the templars the evil white invaders.
That’s what makes them great. Even at their strongest, a well written female warrior would still have to fight smarter than their spear counterparts, and would still have other problems to deal with that men generally don’t. Their bodies will ache once a month, their enemies (and occasionally comrades) will see them as rape bait, and they would generally be seen as lesser warriors (something any sane person would agree with, mind- look how much lower women’s standards are for the US military).
God, that sucks. I've been seeing a lot of kitbashes and fanart for Trench Crusade and I was actually interested in it based on the aesthetics and themes, but of course it's already overrun with power-tripping dickhead Discordites.
They already had succesful buzz inside their discord and a succesful kickstarter so the core will come out even with the accidental sabotage
They were banning people based on vibes they got from them. One successful kickstarter is usually the most many of these companies will wind up getting, so it’s not unfair to say their future endeavors will be DoA. As much as I liked a lot of the aspects of the game, there’s no way it’d be able to take over and replace 40K players. Like I said in the 40K thread, it’ll have a thread somewhere like dakkadakka, get 3 pages and be pushed back by new threads and bumped ones.
Has anyone gone through their playtest rules, anyway? I think people were expecting it to be 40k-style force-on-force action but it's a warband-style game instead. I suppose it's better for lowering the barrier of entry (same reason BattleTech is doing well, you can play the game with only 4 models per side), but it's not a kind of wargame that's ever been all that popular.
Here’s a PDF of the
yeah its explicitly a skirmish wargame, its designed by one of the OG Mordheim guys (which was also a skirmish wargame), i think if anything more lower scale affairs can be enticiing due to the lower barrier of play, but its true that eventually theres a cap on how much people play it
It's like people haven't learned shit from Mighty No. 9 and the more recent thing with Helldivers. Nothing will kill goodwill and interest faster than a "community manager" who gets high on their own self-importance and starts shitting all over people.
People forget that going "ugh, chuds" doesnt actually paint you as very mature or trustworthy even to normies that are either netural or even hate right wingers too, also to people who are tired of online balkanization
Troons and Discord, the combination that kills any community and IP it touches
This is a joke, right? The original King Kong was from 1933. Emmett Till wasn't even born yet.
I usually just ignored that for the purposes of the game, with obvious exceptions like female Kzinti couldn't be PCs (they are canonically not even sapient).
I mean, even a brief glance at the art tells you that the Christian side has gone to a dark path in order to survive. For instance, a gas mask wearing priest with a shotgun and a shield with a crucifix and nailed hands on it.
