I'm out of the loop on this particular case, why does reddit hate this rpg?ACKSII Kickstarter is on https://www.kickstarter.com/project...onqueror-king-system-imperial-imprint-acks-ii

It is a complex game that goes far beyond the low-level confines that typifies the modern "OSR", and into high-level play, mass battles, and running empires. It is autistic - there is a reason it is referred to as the Floor Tile Merchant Simulator - but it is well-thought-out, thoroughly playtested, and ambitious. Definitely not for everyone, but a great deal for those who are into this sort of thing.Is it incline?
I made a vague attempt at trying to figure out what the hubbub was all about because I was stuck at a dinner table,waiting for my bill, and this is the conclusion I arrived at. I don’t know, I just fucking buy things I like.I'm out of the loop on this particular case, why does reddit hate this rpg?ACKSII Kickstarter is on https://www.kickstarter.com/project...onqueror-king-system-imperial-imprint-acks-ii

Oh, Alexander Macris. Who they hate because he... worked for Milo Yiannopulous at one point, and then quit working for him?
I can't keep up with these purity tests.
Full disclaimer, I appreciate ACKS as a system (even though I don't play it because it doesn't answer any particular problem I want to answer compared to other system) but I couldn't care less about its creator nor reddits complaints.I'm out of the loop on this particular case, why does reddit hate this rpg?ACKSII Kickstarter is on https://www.kickstarter.com/project...onqueror-king-system-imperial-imprint-acks-ii

Such as? Curious about this.it doesn't answer any particular problem I want to answer compared to other system
I haven't read ACK, but a lot of these high-level domain books tend to add a lot of complexity that I don't find totally necessary in my own games. Perhaps worse than just adding vague complexity, I don't really want more independent systems stacked on top of each other. B/X already tends to be a bit more mechanically fractured than I like (just using different mechanics for different things like rolling d20 to attack, rolling d6 for skills and checks, rolling under attributes, etc).
For me, the single page on Strongholds in OSE is enough.
It's trying to be a kind of Advanced OSR with (very good I must say) systems for domain and all. But personally I tend to prefer light systems because of the ease of play (I do 2h sessions nowadays). Also I rarely get to domain play and when I do I really prefer An Echo Resounding as the core system (notably because I can also use it to generate content on the map and all).Such as?

Yeah, you're famous. Welcome to the most monocled rpg discussion website on the internet.Not sure if anyone has ever heard of me (I'm a conservative like Alexander Macris, BTW), but I'm here now. What's up?
Man I looked through some of those comments. Apparently Without Number Kevin Crawford guy backed ACKS and people found out because it gave a alert to their kickstarter accounts of "guy your following just backed X!"
A couple were trying to come up with justifications why its okay for Crawford as he's only backing it because he's a game designer too and another one saying they felt betrayed.
Like damn guys just don't play the game and leave it at that.

Sorry, but what is this drama about?
The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons: 1970-1976
Release date: 18 June 2024
The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons: 1970-1976 is a piece of history rather than a sourcebook. Wizards calls it a “retrospective historical book” which, thanks to the help of gaming historian Jon Peterson, retells D&D’s origin stories.
It’s over 500 pages long, and it promises all sorts of original art, plus “never-before-seen correspondence between the original creators of D&D”. Oh, and it has a “page-by-page” recreation of Dungeons and Dragons in its original form.
