2) Any game where wizards can't kill everything by thinking about it and then unmake reality while sipping tea is crap.

Wrong. Lets see my last created threads > https://rpgcodex.net/forums/search/147554840/
We have :
  • An mmo where only enemies can use magic but is a bit different hence I decided to post it
  • A political post
  • A dark sun stream for those who wanna play it but don't have a group to at least watch it.
  • A post about magic VS tech
  • A post to discuss UNDERrated RPG's where I Chilled for Dark Sun : Wake of The Ravager, a game where martials are extremely stronger than preserver and I like it since it makes sense in that setting.
But I forgot that for you, wanting that a lv 0 house cat don't have 55% chance of breaking free from a ice prison casted by a mid level cryomancer in a game where you fight ultra bloated demon lords is wanting a win button. The magic just needs to make sense for that setting. For eg, archwizards with floating cities in Netherese makes sense. In a Lovecraftian setting, it would't make any sense, since magic in lovecraft setting is a alien thing which our mind can't comprehend. Magic leading to insanity makes sense in a lovecraft game. In a pure historical RPG, magic not existing also makes sense.


Wrong. I'm 6' 1 tall. And I'm a C++ developer IRL.

They should be one shotting people from a mile away before anyone can see and punching through armour blah blah...

Wrong. I said that games like fallout new vegas would be better if was more lethal, din't said that sucks. Only that a double barrel shotgun being ineffective vs a street dog is silly and kinda makes a lot of low capacity, slow reload weapons worthless.

5) X game sucks because it's not 2nd edition AD&D. If it was 2nd edition AD&D, it would be awesome. But it's not, so it sucks.

Wrong. I said that games like Solasta would be better with a better ruleset. Not that they are trash. Anyway, why you don't add me to your iggy bin? No need to be triggered and butthurting to every post that I make.

Triggered. :smug::lol:

Comprehensive catalogue of every post Victor has made or ever will make:

1) Wizards are cool, everything else (brainlets) sucks.
2) Any game where wizards can't kill everything by thinking about it and then unmake reality while sipping tea is crap.
3) Dwarves, halflings, and gnomes are manlets. I will use this word a lot to describe how they don't fulfill my power fantasies of being at least 5' tall, a genius, and attractive to women.
4) Long bows / sniper rifles / etc. have not been properly modeled in any game, can you even imagine? They should be one shotting people from a mile away before anyone can see and punching through armour blah blah...
5) X game sucks because it's not 2nd edition AD&D. If it was 2nd edition AD&D, it would be awesome. But it's not, so it sucks.

Pardon me. You've made five posts repeatedly. Please let me know if I missed one.

You forgot:

WoW only killed mmos. I mean, before wow. Ultima Online, Eve Online, Mu Online, Everquest, Dark Sun Online, Crimson Sands(...) After WoW : All games about gear farming, cooldown managing. Even if people make a Mount & Blade mmo, it will be a wow clone. The impact that WoW caused in single player RPG's and tabletop is huge but is not as if it ruined the genre.

This is pretty accurate for most post-AD&D games using a so-called D20 ruleset though.

I would't say that ToEE sucks cuz is not 2E, buit ToEE would be better if was 2E as the original module.

Mortal Online 2 is about as close to a Mount and Blade MMO as you can get and it is absolutely not a wow clone.

There is a difference between defamation and trigger. When you claim others is something they are not, that is defamation. Saying gleefully that someone is triggered when you have defamed them is like saying someone is overreacting when they get angry after you raped and murdered their child.

There were more than enough good new RPGs released this year* for anyone who isn't kissless virgin and has RPG back catalogue, social life, other interests and other goals in life besides playing good vidya gaemz on toilet seat 24/7

*ATOM:Trudograd, Vagrus: The Riven Realms, Gothic 2: Chronicles of Myrtana, Colony Ship (Early Access) = easily 200h of great fun. Are You Not Entertained?

The intent thread is to say something that will trigger people, not to defame them by claiming something they are not or claim they said something they did not.

Not knowing the difference is why leftards are so despised by anyone with a shred of conscience.

Strap Yourselves In Serpent in the Staglands Shadorwun: Hong Kong Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
  • Dwarves = greedy stubborn manlets who deserve to die and be enslaved(how to do both? Reanimation!!!)
  • Fighters = Brainlets/research subjects/manual labor slaves
  • Half orcs = Brainlets/research subjects/manual labor slaves
  • Clerics = Weaklings who depends on a external power
  • Paladins = Religious zealots who only serve to held back magical research
  • Halflings = Manlets, brainlets and weaker than dwarves. Too weak to worth being reanimated.
  • Barbarian = A savage guy who also held back magical progress but at least don't need formal training and hates stupid laws and politics that plagues civilizations. Way better than fighter.
  • Bard = Entertainer but must be castrated.
  • Gnome = The unique manlet race who should be allowed to live as they are amazing alchemists, transmuters and illusionists.
  • Drow = They sell good research subjects but are disgusting.
  • Elf = Good slaves(mainly females)
  • Mage = A cool guy
  • Magic user specialized in necromancy = A amazing guy. Master of life and death who throws the mid finger to the Gods who wanna limit the human development with "aging" and "natural course".

Ok my turn this looks fun:
  • Dwarves = greedy stubborn who stole wizard stuff at some point so they can't be all bad.
  • Fighters = Meatheads who probably broke some fancy wizard stuff at some point so they can't be all bad.
  • Half orcs = Meatheads who DEFINITELY broke some fancy wizard stuff at some point so they can't be all bad.
  • Clerics = Guys who know the way to the nearest place of worship
  • Paladins = Guys who know the way to the nearest crusade and very likely broke some magic stuff on the way.
  • Halflings = Eat way more than their body mass. Probably some thermodynamic anomaly.
  • Barbarian = Barbarian
  • Bard = If they were any good, they'd get a steady job instead of freeloading at taverns in exchange for music no one bothers listening to.
  • Gnome = Nerd halfling.
  • Drow = Elf therefore 70% caster. Kill with fire.
  • Elf = 90% caster. Kill with extra fire.
  • Mage = 100% caster. Wears a dress. See elf.
  • Magic user specialized in necromancy = Guy who spent so long trying to get the dead to rise up he forgot why. Also dressed in dresses.


That said we should probably have a separate class warfare thread for all this.

Heh heh heh.

  • Dwarves = greedy brickwalls with little man's syndrome.
  • Fighters = "I whack target A. Miss. I whack target A. Miss. I whack target-"
  • Half orcs = "Urggzob CRUSH!!!"
  • Clerics = Let's give the healbot blasting spells, full armour, d8 HD, an expanded weapons list and the second best BAB in the game. What could possibly go wrong?
  • Paladins = Urbane gentlemen when done right; sjw cunt when done wrong. Unless it is Lacrymas; then it is ball crushing.
  • Halflings = Little guys. So little, they are best forgotten. Out of sight, out of mind.
  • Barbarian = The fun fighters.
  • Bard = Elaaaannnnnn!!!!
  • Gnome = Whisper Gnome, best gnome. Others are just faaaab-bulous.
  • Drow = Anything they can do, elves can do better, day or night.
  • Elf = Well... I suppose all games need a long-rang sniper of some sort...
  • Mage = NOT "I whack target A. Miss. I whack target A." Automatically better.
  • Magic user specialized in necromancy = Goth chicks are hot?

There should be no races and classes; every character should have the same opportunities.
Think of all the benefits:

Everyone is included.
There can be no slurs.
You can role play safely knowing that you are playing yourself, and not someone you might feel unsafe playing. This also eliminates the chance for racial appropriation or playing racial stereotypes.
And it's good for diversity.

Jokes aside, I think that WoTC will make D&D 6E that way...

  • Magic user specialized in necromancy = Goth chicks are hot?

Yep. Now imagine a Goth Chick turned into a vampire bride who will always be loyal towards her master and love him and never ages.
