    Your reaction of getting more and more exasperated with the stupidity contrasted with the absolute confidence these reddit morons have is a common one. The most rage inducing comments are always along the lines of "I haven't watched the review fully, but here's why it's wrong..."
    This kinda stuff makes my blood boil. The worst part is that you can never prove those idiots wrong; they will always smugly stand on their demonstrably incorrect points. Laughing at them is all fine and well, but too much exposure really does kill your own braincells.

      Definitely. Unfortunately with reddit, they aggressively ran off any reasonable or sound-minded individuals long ago. Nowadays everything has a veneer of 'progressivism' and everything is political. I occasionally visit the website for the odd sports clip and politics is everywhere. On the r/soccer subreddit, well lets just say that with the recent troubles in Palestine, there was not much love for people of Jewish persuasion. The 'moderators' must have agreed with the views being aired because there was zero moderation of the antisemitic comments.
      You can either wade through the hatred or you can move on. Having Redditors comment on what is morally right or wrong is like Myra Hindley providing parenting advice.

    David Milch, the creator of the tv show Deadwood, said it best: “The emotional reaction of the character *is* the plot.”
    The story at the table needs to come from Roleplaying, otherwise the narrative moments become meaningless and everyone might as well just sit around the campfire listening to someone else tell stories.

      Original CP2020 has a damn fine Lifepath, but it's one of the only ones I can think of outside of the Traveller one and some REALLY good third party supplements that are sadly out of print. Central Casting, they did three separate books of nothing BUT lifepath/character background charts (fantasy, modern, sci-fi). Still available on DriveThru I think, and they're system agnostic.

    This isn't directly linked to the subject of your video but your video did make me think of it;
    I don't particularly enjoy Story Games or Journaling Games, but that isn't to say they are without value. Frankly, I don't know what value that is, but you get my point. Conversely, an RPG that has too much UNMOTIVATED combat suffers in a similar way; it becomes too beholden to dice and doing things for the sake of utilizing game mechanics, rather than because of the causality of roleplay.
    If I'm an Edgerunner in Cyberpunk Red and I need to sneak into a Corpo office building to steal some documents off a company computer terminal, I might not want to fight security - maybe I just want to do stealth stuff.
    But if I'm that same Edgerunner and someone has kidnapped my mainline, you best believe I'll be zeroing that gonk!
    And I know this all comes down to the GM's discretion and the team's dynamics (some players really do just want to fight all day every day, and some players want to live out their fantasies of being an actor). And this is, and always has been for me, what makes TTRPGs the BEST type of game ever created. A great GM paired with a great party of players can create the greatest experiences.

    Hey guys, just announcing my presence and saying I'm subscribing, as I just found you guys like a week ago. I've known about DnD for years, as well as the existence of many TTRPGS, but only started delving into them recently for a year or so. I always had this issue when I started getting into play podcasts and other things the tendency for these groups to always inject real-world progressive ideas and play activists in their made-up worlds. Going as far as to literally have npcs or PCs reprimand things for things like "toxic masculinity". Just didn't sit right with me that the majority, if not all of the most popular casts were like this, and it's good to know that there are other people out there who don't want to go along and put up with it.

    In defense of Werewolf 20th:
    You complain about W:tA being front loaded with hippy bullshit but that was the game from the beginning and I fell in love with it despite that flaw. If you don't believe me, take a look at the 2nd ed and Revised Children of Gaia and Black Furies Tribebooks. As a longtime Werewolf fan, it's the best and most concise version of the material, it takes up storylines that were present in the original run of the game and it stands out as the best of the 20th Anniversary line.

    16:00 mechanics that affect the narrative instead of adjudicating the action of the character, isn't a flaw. It's a preference, that some have, and you (probably) don't. That's all fine, but some do prefer narrative mechanics. There are advantageous sides of it, that makes those rpg funnier to me (and some others). Albeit a minority does prefer it, i would estimate, in the rpg community.

      I don't think it is possible to define an universal standard for game experience in a rpg in the way you seem to make it.
      In a few words, gaming experience will be tied to the pleasure of the individual, which makes it indexical. This means any judgement about a rpg about how it will be pleasing, will have to take into account to whom it apply. This mean that any ruleset can be good or bad, depending on the individual it apply.
      I would love to explain further. I've put much thoughts to support my claim and have background in philosophy. This i say to mean that what i say is true, but i'm telling you in the hope you see my counter claim as credible, and worth talking over. I'm open to discussion about this all.
