we need. an rpg. set in persian empire.

 

[vortex]

medieval semi-historical rpg with fantastical and horror stuff is what we need

 

[laclongquan]

laclongquan , maybe it's not the thread for this, but I often wondered, are there Vietnamese RPGs, and if yes, are they made in jRPGs mold, or in western one?

Tentatively no.
There was one or two web-based text game where we used to insert Vn setting. but the content is tiny and the balancing is shit so noone play them.

The major AAA games just broke the teeth of some major game companies. I think it took them a year of development before throwing in the towels.

Making games with VN content is sirius bizniz. We cant do it.

(VN games about different content is of course, existing. But we are not talking about them here)
(Studios making games for major brand do exist, but I think they only do art/engine/graphic. The writings are not done here.)

I vote for it to feature a Prince! And maybe some Sands. Oh, but where will we find Time for it?

 

[Shadenuat]

It's funny how Tolkien drawn from all kinds of mythos and history and yet what he created people turned into caricature dull banality and all people can think of is dirt and did english longbows suck or what

 

[Stainless Veteran]

Careful Josh. You don't want it to look like you oppose the chimps destroying your cities.

Spoiler

Ackshually, it's systematic racism who burns shit and steals yeezies! Probably shits up the parks too!

what people ?

To illustrate the problem of your much ignorance-at-work, let's use some popamole and populist examples. I hate to use them, but anything higher level than that will get your eyes crossed and your mind blanks.

Take Romance of Three Kingdom setting. This is an historical setting, which is the basis, the base for everything else built upon.


Manga, manhwa, and chinese language comics are full of derivatives about them. They are not the same, or people wouldnt buy them. I will not bother to list them here since we would be at it all day.

In games there's no basic version of ROTK. All of them are derivatives from the ROTK history version, which is based on two or three different books, and two most popular TV shows in the 80s and 90s.
++ Take Dynasty Warriors series, with the latter tittles more and more outrageous than the earlier.
++ Take Sengoku Warrirors series. non-Japanese play them because they are derivatives of ROTK, you can imagine playing in its much-different yet much-similar setting.
++ Okay, you can argue the ROTK series follow much closely to the historical version, the basic version. But it's still derivatives.

In film the derivatives are worse, both literaly and figuratively.

Period. Now for another, much higher level.

You should have heard of Journey to the West setting. A monk, a monkey, a pig, and a river monster (plus a horse) go to West to bring back Buddha's scripture.

Now remove the main characters, leave the setting behind. It is that setting that has so much derivatives about it.

You have kingdoms of humans dealing with monster in all form of evolution.
You have advanced humans dealing with monster, or with kingdoms.
The other above, but instead in medieval setting, move to modern setting.
The other above, but instead in medieval setting, move to much more farther, post-modern setting. Kinda, monster civilization in future, and advanced human civilization in non-SF setting.

Take Prince of Qin game, and Jade Empire. They can be considered to be advanced humans dealing with monster, or with human kingdoms in Qin-Han period.

Autistic drivel.

Any volunteers?

Wearing a mask during sex seems like really bad advice. I know Eyes Wide Shut never got into logistics, but sex is usually associated with increased heart rate and breathing. And a mask is going to restrict airflow into your mouth and nose...

 

[pomenitul]

British Columbia already solved this conundrum a while back:

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Choosing positions that aren't face-to-face during sex

I usually put a pillow on their face so they can't scream for neighbors, so that's one problem solved already.

You can say a lot of shit about Sawyer, but you can't help but admire his commitment to the philosophy of Zerthimon: balance in all things!

 

[Ol' Willy]

People are so afraid of Corona?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

People are so afraid of Corona?

It has become a cult.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

I'd like to point out that in the photos of Sawyer with the cat and the dog, he doesn't wear a mask. Truly, he's a brave man!

 

[NJClaw]

He is such a cutie.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

He

that's his grandmother

 

[NJClaw]

He

that's his grandmother

would still smash

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

He is such a cutie.

I agree. That's a very sweet dog.

Sawyer looks older than I do and he's twenty years younger than I am.

I guess making shitty RPGs prematurely ages you.

He's 44, he's not that young.

 

[Atlantico]

He's 44, he's not that young.

You're right, he's not that young any more - and he's no Keanu Reeves, but I think he looks very well for a 44 yo.

Besides he's now a shower UX critic, something befitting his age.
