We need to see more low-fantasy RPGs out there. Think about low-fantasy universes like Conan.
Magic use still exists, but it's only practiced by well versed masters and it's usually in secret/not in the open.
None of this tolkien-esque trash where people are just walking around shooting fireballs everywhere like it's no big deal.
Low-fantasy games should make an entrance into the RPG genre. Simple things like magic being in the game but you spend half the game progressing just to learn one spell.
I'm glad this faggot got cut out, and will be forgotten to time.
Camden Cooper
i just googled her she looks fine what?
Grayson Phillips
>Basically cuts himself out of the adventure. I like Tom Bombadil though.
Justin Harris
You can Bombadil the fuck back outta here.
Evan Davis
Fucking this, mentally and physically.
Kes's actress has to be the farthest a Trek regular's ever fallen.
Bentley Hughes
>tolkien-esque trash where people are just walking around shooting fireballs There were only ~6 wizards in Middle Earth.
Anthony Perry
I dunno a bunch of them have fallen six feet under by now
Wyatt Powell
One of the first self insert Mary Sue characters
Lincoln Scott
She hasn't fallen under her own car yet, so she still has a bit futher to fall
Juan Gonzalez
Is there even such a thing as a fantasy RPG with many races such as Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Trolls, Orcs, Humans, BUT WITHOUT ANY MAGIC?
Camden Reyes
I bet Nimoy cuts a fucking swarthe skeleton.
Daniel Gutierrez
Goddamn this and the fucking aerobics stretching scene with the doctor
Bless you Roddenberry you fucking deviant pervert coke fiend
Evan Price
Roddenberry was dead before that scene got shot.
Connor Cook
...that has the dignity to cut himself out of the adventure early on and with essentially an isolated event. It doesn't really fit that particular aspect of the archetype at least.
Evan Morgan
Calling Bombadil an insert is a stretch, as the best evidence for that is Goldberry as Tolkien loved his wife and kept inserting her as the most beautiful bitch ever.
His self insert was Beren, since Edith was Luthien
Hudson Walker
Beverly Crusher has always been MILES ahead of every female character in that show.
True but his thumbprint was still on the show yet, since he had designed the characters.
Troi was originally supposed to have four breasts or something. Dude was crazy.
Christopher Campbell
Shame her son's the world's biggest twat, such an annoying shit it even scared off Picards dick
Hunter Hill
This character was always involved in such wierd sexual shit >That episode where a guy mind rapes her and it makes her ultra horny >That episode where they discover that one loser is fucking copies of her in the holodeck
Lucas Kelly
I actually liked him, and Picard only wants dangerous pussy anyway.
Adam Scott
>The Nemesis movie >Gets mind raped AGAIN
Jordan Cook
why does everyone fawn over Picard anyway? He's the most milquetoast person on the show by far
Matthew Butler
>hairy forearms always out of shot
Carson Lee
>The episode where she gets impregnated by an alien >the episode where she gets an arranged marriage and then gets cucked by an aids riddles space thot >the episode where some alien grannifies her by offloading his anger into her >the episode where she and her mother gets abducted by space jews Troi had a hard life
Camden Cruz

Picard's episodes are great and you clearly haven't watched them. If the man is getting primary focus then he's guaranteed to go fucking insane for at least some duration of the episode. Doubly so if Cardassians or the Borg are involved.
Chase Gomez
Indeed. Picard is fucking based and he has really seen some shit.
>it's another Picard goes into the simulator episode
Michael Brooks
Yeah, I want a prehistoric RPG where magic is at its peak strength but knowledge is in its infancy. Maybe rip-off 2001 and have mysterious monoliths.
Luis Williams
Most of the simulator episodes are a fun intermission though.
Owen Baker
>trashing GOT
Bet you think LOTR is the peak of fantasy, dumbass
Nathan Thomas
>None of this tolkien-esque trash where people are just walking around shooting fireballs everywhere like it's no big deal. the thing is, shooting fireballs in tolkien isn't normal either. Educate yourself
Evan White
I guess I can at least tell you're not from reddit.

Regardless, the game is actually legit fun. Might pick it up when I'm not poor.
The thing I don't like about Witcher is that everything is very flashy, a lot of glowing colorful stuff. I'd like to see a game where the spells don't really have much of a visual effect, or like an old school fantasy film style, if anybody gets what I mean. Otherwise it's kinda there, it's mostly just peasants and normal people doing their normal things with the occasional magical stuff
What I gather from this and similar threads is game set in an age of Myth. Fantastical where magic isn't a system but a force like how crops benefit from a volcano's ashes so to can humans find benefits from the fantastical forces. heroes and stories both propelled and burdened by prophecy as in the never ending story or Morrowind.
low fantasy doesn't necessarily mean low power levels you can shoot black holes out of your dick as long as it's a crazy rare occurrence
Brayden Lee
I think the biggest trap games fall into is giving the player magic. I mean there are examples like The Witcher where magic is a bit more rare, but you play as that 0.01% of people who can shoot fire out of his ass at will. Magic is no longer rare or mysterious if you the player can do it.
It'd be interesting if there was a game where you play as a normal dude, fighting normal people and animals using a combat system like M&B/Mordhau that's tricky but satisfying. And halfway through the game, just when you're starting to make a name for yourself as a skilled warrior, supernatural monsters and magic-user villains start showing up and you realize what bullshit it is that the smug cunts can turn you into a newt by chanting some gibberish and snapping their fingers. So now you need to figure out how to deal with them, and learn various tricks for turning their own magic against them and dealing with their bullshit.
In other words, immerse the players in the mundane before introducing them to the mysterious.

hey, kangz tiddies
Luke Flores
What? Arx Fatalis poses itself as a medieval fantasy world suffering a nuclear winter. But it's still menaced by Mage-Knights powered by evil gods, invisible Ratmen, and has Sorcerress Nagas making up the roster.
Benjamin Smith
also conquering armies and The Dark Crystal and the sequel to the dark crystal as well but it suffers a bit from the increased flashiness mentioned the stakes can be as high as ever but it isn't like every fucking isekai on the market in a medieval setting but chicks with modern glasses and nylon stockings etc. it's should be a world that would function not just wizard town, generic starting zone town, dorf town etc.
You amongst the more modern RPGs might want to try Gothic 1. Lots of magic in there towards the too but it has that a gritty and very down to earth atmosphere, the whole game takes place in a prison colony. Back in TNG she was adorable

Ryder Watson
Is that even a fantasy game?
Jace Moore
If anything, Gandalf and the hobbits were Tolkien's self-insert.
John Kelly
Nah, read the Silmarillion. Feanor is Tolkien's self-insert for sure.
Tyler Jenkins
Low fantasy means fantasy but in the normal world. Stuff like World of Darkness or Lovecraft stories. It doesn't have anything to do with the amount of the magic and dragons.
Charles Sullivan
Silmarillion is an unfinished book and it shows. I couldn't stand it.
