Perhaps. But it was only that war isn't needed to imagine stories, even if those stories follow some rules.

I was expecting that you would say that not war but conflict is always present.

I am talking of times with kids, in the middle of a story, saying that they would have discussed more with the dragon because the princess would have been boring (yes, it's a sexist story in this example). This is also a source of role-playing.

Nop. The concept goes farrer is the past, from people inventing stories together to just people asking "what if".

All isn't from DnD. There was something before. DnD may be the first one to have been commercialized (and successful enough to be remembered).

I think it isntye case. The background is how it is in the 5th edition of course but it is truly another system.

What made you feel this taste of 5e? I never played 5e.

Rather than the subclasses we’re used to in Dungeons and Dragons, the Stormlight RPG offers mix-and-match skill trees with 200+ branches.

So they still have American styled classes (DnD, only classes), not British styled classes (Warhammer, 4 classes, the rest is professions).

And now I am asking myself if DnD, with only classes, could be considered as class warfare.

Did anybody tried :Otherscape? I understand it's a clone of Shadowrun.

Talking about other games, I love Blades in the Dark and CBR+PNK is really great.

I like the Anarchy version the most. The cover is v4 and v5 is better but it stays too crunchy for me.

If anybody understanding French wants to start Shadowrun, look at Anarchy and Anarchiste. The second one is the best presentation of the universe of Shadowrun over all versions (over all languages between French and English).

I thought I would be the only one to try this. Would you share more details on your setup? I am interested because to me Wireguard is in the kernel so how could it be in a container.

Old. Funny but repeated too often. I don't like DnD but even if they once gave stats to Cthulhu, I wouldn't name a game to be better. Why one? On which criteria?

Also: I like World of Darkness. I have Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changelin, and many add ons. But let's be honest (and troll a bit): Vampire the Masquerade is just a simulation of puberty. The system, when it was released, was awesome but it is way to crunchy for today's standards.

If one should bash DnD, then do it with style with modern games: Blades in the Dark, Fate, Dungeon World, Ironsworn,... whatever from this century.

There's another challenge available, without javascript.

I like Hope is Not a Plan but it is a bit depressing. I would like something to release the pressure of work. Something in the mood of Eat the Reich or Blades in the Dark/CBR+PNK. But I couldn't find a good game. Corp Borg has been a bit disappointing.
