I get used to people telling me to try another game, but if I do and you tell me it doesn’t count for some stupid reason and basically saying what you meant was “Pathfinder or old editions of d&d”? Yeah I’m fucking mad.
EDIT: Because I see reading comprehension is bad af here: Someone told me to play a different game. I told them I’m already doing Blades, first session tomorrow. they told me Blades doesn’t count and told me to play Pathfinder and older editions of d&d.
Wait, it doesn’t count because BitD is “just a D&D homebrew”? According to whom?
I had someone tell me to play another game, but when I told him I play Blades he told me it doesn’t count and he meant…older editions of D&D and Pathfinder.
I’ll correct that then, try GURPS or how about F.A.T.A.L
BitD in no way resembles the statisticians’ stroganoff that is oldschool D&D. Step away from the pipe.
Take that to person who told me to play other games then, when I’ve said I play Blades, said it doesn’t count and told me to play Pathfinder.
Are you are suggesting Blades in the Dark is some kind of derivative of D&D? If so, that is a very hot take. And even if you like 5e, imo, Pathfinder 2e is right there doing the same thing but better.
I usually recommend people try games that are “Not D&D or a close relative of it.” Blades is not a close relative of D&D. It’s a close relative of PbtA.
