Wasn’t that every session?

[Anonymous No.]

I guess they just lost interest? They were really into it in the beginning, doing silly voices and getting into character, but the last session they weren't really doing any of that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19550757
The TTRPG was doomed from the start:

- too large group, the insistance that it always HAD to be a full gen collab with everyone meant that scheduling was always an uphill battle. Despite them talking about how "oh it's no problem if someone has to drop out for a bit", that was always a farce (if the rest of them actually WANTED to continue the ttrpg and it was only one or two persons dropping out, the rest could've worked around this and carried on, but the fact that they ALL pretty much dropped out simultaneously suggests no one left was really into it at the end)

- people all over the world (timezones!) and being busy with their own work. Another issue for scheduling. It's hard enough to get 5 people to agree on one day to collab, then you also have to decide the hour. And being spread out over multiple timezones all but ensures it will always be shit (too late / too early) for some of them, which is poison for atmosphere and chemistry, there was always one (or more, most of the time) people in the collab that had clear "ugh, I'd rather not be here" energy, what with being grumpy, groggy or just nonresponsive.

- both issues above also meant that with the sessions being so spread out over weeks apart, the girls forgot everything about the game, and each stream there had to be time wasted for "uh, so what were we doing again?" plot refreshers and "uh, how does this game work again?" rule reminders. By the end, some girls were clearly checked out mentally and even Mori, whose passion project this was, seemed less into it. The fact that no one is in a hurry to revive the ttrpg is a clue that yeah, they're all probably quietly happier that it's rather forgotten.

IF (big if) anyone ever gets the big idea to do something like this again, they should learn the lessons from the failure of the first season.
- do a smaller group, only of people who are committed and actually want to be there, instead of passive passengers just dragged along for appearances' sake. 2-3 people max, also that's just easier to coordinate.
- don't try to overburden yourself by planning to make this into a season-long "arc" if it clearly doesn't work out, just do shorter self-contained scenarios that can be played in one or two sessions. If it works and everyone wants more, great, and if it doesn't, you can just stop and no one is sad or left hanging.
Really, JP's did ttrpg streams successfully before, and they've figured out these simple practices before.

Dnd is versatile enough that it can work in other settings with minor tweaking.
Guns? Just use firebolt numbers.
Flashlights? Light spell lol
Monsters? Just borrow stats and use a different image.
And as for the setting, Ravenloft exists so thatcs not an issue that can't be fixed in 15 minutes.
>>19575612
That could be a problem too, but since it's a TTRpg you can make an excuse to not look at chat and purposefully ignore the autists. All Mori has to dl is inform the players that it's a heavily modified version, explain the rules in a simple way and done.

The only remotely good thing about CR is how they're all voice actors and really close friends, and that does a really good job at masking all the imperfections by making characters and nps much more memorable, but other than that it's you run-of-the-mill table with all the problems and imperfections you'll find anywhere, but somehow it's actually worse since the players do fuck all between sessions.

The one on ones were really good, Calli was able to adjust to the energy and initiative of her partner and Gura in particular was really able to shine.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19596817
Highly dependent on system. In combat focused rpgs there's a golden ratio, too many will make battles take too long, too little makes it hard for GMs to throw harder encounters. For more roleplay oriented systems too many players will make it so a portion of the table will be basically npcs in some sessions. There isn't a 100% correct number of players, but most GMs agree that between 3 and 5 is the perfect number.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19596817
Maybe. A bigger group means less time for each player focus regarding their goals and motivations. More time also allows for players to be more descriptive with their actions and thoughtful in their decisions since they won't be holding things up for so many people each. Less chance for distraction too.
It really depends on the kind of game you're running. If the characters are just a bundle of stats going through a puzzle-combat dungeon in a fast system like Iron Kingdoms than adding a few more is fine. If you are playing something super complex and player influenced like Dungeons: the Dragoning: 40,000: 7th edition, then even 5 can be rough.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19596817
No. On the contrary.
It works irl, but more than that on an online format is disastrous.
Think about it this way: every player is the protagonist of it's own story, therefore there must be equal time (ideally) for all to develop and contribute properly.
Assuming the average session online in different time zones equates to 3 hours, for 6 players, realistically there'd be an hour of exposition/battle, one of interactions, and one for actual development. Obviously not all the players will want the spotlight in that hour, but most will try to contribute in their unique way.
Now, try to add 2 more players to that already tight schedule, considering the players are mostly newbies, so a 4th of that time will be wasted reminding them of the rules, or dumb derailings because one didn't pay attention and the rest are looking at their phone waiting for the others to stop rping so they can join in the fun.
There's a huge amount of problems they'd have to face so I'd say 6 players total should be the maximum.

[Anonymous No.]

Calli said there's going to be recap and two final sessions, possibly back to back.

>so mad about dnd
Literally, just throw a couple or dice, larp and when battle comes cut the fat.
It's easy to modify "dnd system" to make it newbie friendly, fast and effective for situations that aren't battle if your DM is not a total mongoloid rule lawyer.
And by the way, if it has a D20, hit points, AC and the 6 stats, it' basically dnd system. Pathfinder, ICRPG, Lamentations, Labyrinth Lord, they're all the same system with different flavor. You only need to take those aspects and mould them a little and you can do anything you want and It'll work well, especially for new players.

Just about, yes. You must play their game their way and if you modify it then you must buy 2nd party semi-official stuff because of "balance" ($) reasons. They also only let people play their IP as long as they are somewhat well known so they can get some of the view revenue, and you must sign a contract for it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19575105
I disagree, just because 5e is the most common starting game doesn't mean it's the only or even the best choice. The core mechanics aren't that hard as long as you avoid certain classes and stick to low levels, but character creation is full of trap options and nuances with no real explanation.
Any system can work for noobs, but I personally think Call of Cthulhu is the best intro to TRPGs. Very consistent simple rules, an open-ended focus on investigation rather than combat, and a "real" setting that doesn't require a ton of up-front explanation. But there's really no wrong place to start.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19600651
WoD was what they were playing, all you have to do with them is give em a shout out, maybe put a logo somewhere. Paizo does have some autism but I don't really remember what it is. I know you can play either edition any way you want it but I think you have to have a copy of the GMs book, player book, and whatever they call their monster manual on display, so it's not super restrictive and IMO pretty reasonable.

tell me you didn't watch the streams without telling me you didn't watch the streams.

Kiara was one of the few players who actually actively tried (along with Gura, though she vacilliated between "let's kill them and make them poop their pants haha!" lolsorandumb gremlin energy and "uuuh, where are we and how do we play this again?" absent attitude depending on her mood for the particular session) and she tried to keep up with the rules. Ame and Ina were for the most part deadweights, part of that is due to their tendency to generally fall into the background in bigger group collabs, but the other issue is that the characters they chose for themselves were pretty shit for active involved roleplaying, what with Yuul's general "ugh, I just wanna go home..." personality and Watoto's "only talk in few words" shtick, that lead to them doing very little and had to be prodded along by Mori to do basically anything and contribute, opposed to Gura and Kiara who took much more initiative themselves. Sure, not everything they did was golden, but at least they tried to make SOMETHING happen and they weren't deadweights who sandbagged the whole session

I once played in a Dungeon Crawl Classics game with twelve people. It fucking sucked, a simple fight would take hours, and outside of combat only a couple of players ever got to do anything because it was so hard for the GM to pay attention to all of us.
From my experience, 3-4 is the sweet spot of enough players to make things dynamic, but not so many that they drown each other out.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19575105
The only reason 5e works as a starting game is because it's popular, so it's easy to find games for and actually play. Almost any reasonably popular system is easy to learn. CofD is much simpler, and much more clearly explained, than D&D and also takes place in a world much much closer to our own. If it were as equally popular there would be no contest. But popularity doesn't matter if you can make your own group.

I'm going to assume you're just a weird troll or else you'd have to have brain damage to think flensing off pieces of a game, and homebrewing the shit out of it to make it simpler, both make for a better newplayer experience than just playing a simpler game, and that somehow all D&D derived systems are interchangeable because of some shared mechanics. You can like D&D all you want, no one cares. Treating it like some universal system that sits at every crunch level and is right for every group just makes you an insane autist spewing terrible advice to make people have miserable games though.

But it's fun to roll a big handful of dice
It's also surprisingly intuitive. As you're preparing to roll, going over your character sheet and tallying up the skills and bonuses that help you, you're picking up a die for each one. Then you roll all the dice in your hand and count the fives and sixes. You don't even need to do any addition.

Side note but Japanese people do Call of Cthulhu weird. Their games have more in common with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure than The Shadow over Innsmouth.

Incredibly poorly. CoC is basically an investigation game, except you're investigating weird Lovecraftian cults, monsters, and mysteries. There is certainly overlap between that and Hunter but Hunter is notably divergent in 3 major ways. First Hunter is more combat focused, and if you look at the sorts of things Calli had the girls deal with there is usually a level of action above what CoC typical revolves around. Next Hunter is all about monsters of every stripe and all sorts of extra weirdness. CoC is all in on being a Lovecraft game, so its setting clashes with a lot of what Calli is doing. And finally, Calli didn't play Hunter just for the type of game Hunter is , she played Hunter because of the setting Hunter is in. Calli didn't just want to play an intrigue spookems campaign, she wanted a World of Darkness campaign. CoC is in no way suited for that. She wanted a game that could support having Masquerade's vampires, the Wyrm, Geist's underworld, and everything else there. There isn't really another game outside of the broader WoD series that works for that sort of thing, other than heavily homebrewed generic urbfan settings like Urban Shadows. It'd be kind of like using Cyberpunk to play Shadowrun. Sure, there is overlap between the two but they're very very different in basically every other way. Or maybe as a more familiar example it'd be like using Star Trek Adventures for a Star Wars campaign over any of the Star Wars games. Sure, sci-fi, space ships, aliens, and all that, but Star Trek and Star Wars don't have a huge amount in common when you get into the specifics. They're both sci-fi space adventures but the content and world of them is very different.

The only thing I know about TTRPGs is that I spent a lot of time with D&D 4e when I was younger, and a bit with pathfinder/3.5e, and 4e is trying to pull a weird videogamey spin on things that never really worked for me. The combat was tedious too, but that may be because our MJ was shit

Solo TTRPGs could work on stream if you're good at making them entertaining or involving the chat in decisions.

Can you expand on that? Not saying you're wrong, I don't know anything about this and I'm genuinely interessed

Imagine rolling 3d6 instead of 1d20. Same average result, but there's a lot less randomness to it with the extreme results being much rarer. That way, someone who's good at something more consistently outperforms someone who's bad at it.

Dice result plus modifiers versus dice pools depends on whether you prefer doing math or spending more time handling the dice.
