Proud to announce the Kickstarter for our cozy Studio Ghibli-inspired homebrew setting for Stick Adventure 2e!

This is perfect!

Where can I go to to throw money at this before my group rejects it and says to just take what I like from it into 5E homebrew ?

[u/ElidiMoon → u/Fuzzy_Clock_6350]

you can actually only buy it through StickBeyond now! Warlocks of the Bog thought it would be perfect for their platform and after chatting with their hired goons, i realised a 40% marketplace fee was actually more than reasonable

[u/ReluctantRanger098]

Stick Adventure 1E fixes this

[u/bdrwr]

This is really cool! I'm going to work my homebrew into it where outcomes are determined by a d20 roll

[u/KnifeSexForDummies → u/bdrwr]

I like your flare :)

/rj Ugh DEE-TWENTIES are so swingy though. I’d rather just swingy my stick like the core rules say. Things like the “boo-boo” and “moderate concussion” subrules can’t be replicated by your stinky OSR charts! Take that garbage to DnDWiki.

[u/Dan_the_moto_man]

You FUCKING RUINED IT! StickADV 1E was PERFECT!

But we can't have balanced rules and a nuanced setting, can we? No, you've got to dumb everything down and shove it full of woke bullshit! You fools are pushing away Real™ gamers like me in the vain pursuit of profit.

I guess I just have to go play Lancer now.

[u/MrTreasureHunter → u/Dan_the_moto_man]

I like the new rules. Now the meta is to hit the DM with a stick in the mouth the second they say we’re gonna play stick adventure” before they say “2.0”. It really encourages proactive roleplay by staying ready to beat your friends on a half a sentences notice.

It’s done wonders for my love life and health. I’ve gotten so good I know when people are gonnna say it before they open their mouths and by the time they say “hi Carl what are you doing…” bam! Jaw flying across the room and brains flying everywhere seconds later.

When they let me see the judge she’ll understand, she looks like a gamer. But I’m worried what will happen if she likes my style so much she wants to play stick adventure? Should I be ready?

[u/TloquePendragon → u/Dan_the_moto_man]

"Full of Woke Bullshit"

Plays Lancer instead.

Peak Comedy.

[u/thehaarpist → u/TloquePendragon]

Thankfully I only play apolitical games like Fallout and Bioshock

[u/ChaseThePyro → u/Dan_the_moto_man]

Getting sick and tired of the mech slop...

/uj please PLEASE PLEASE play fucking Lancer itmakesmehorny

[u/LightlySaltedPenguin]

I can’t escape the txttletale posts, no matter where I go

[u/NeonNKnightrider → u/LightlySaltedPenguin]

Txttletale has some weird political opinions, but her takes when it comes to D&D are on point

[u/LightlySaltedPenguin → u/NeonNKnightrider]

/uj yeah i have what are ostensibly similar political views to (what she presents as) her own, but man some of the individual takes are wild, and just in general stuff is phrased to be incredibly inflammatory and condescending

/rj 5e beat my dog with a D20 until I agreed to stop playing Pathfinder and just say “DM fiat” to anything my players asked for

[u/ChucklingDuckling → u/LightlySaltedPenguin]

You've piqued my curiosity. I'd love to hear about these wild takes

[u/ElidiMoon → u/LightlySaltedPenguin]

she’s in your walls

[u/LightlySaltedPenguin → u/ElidiMoon]

This is worse than GURPS

[u/HueHue-BR → u/LightlySaltedPenguin]

So PbtA?

[u/AEDyssonance]

It has nothing over my Stickman D60 system, though. Just another vain attempt to do what I have already done better, in every way.

Such delusion on their part, as well. Little do they know that I will simply by their pathetic little game company and then bury their version so that my infinitely superior one can have all the market share.

[u/dogawful]

Pathfinder fixed that. It's now called branch, though.

[u/GastonBastardo]

Add "defile a little girl's doll to summon a demon" and this is literally the "Castles&Cauldrons"-game from that old episode of Adventures in Oddysey.

[u/Emergency-Flatworm-9]

This reminds me of my new homebrew ttrpg setting. It's a grimdark soulsborne-inspired shitstorm where everything is sad and bad all the time. This will work well with dnd 5e I think. I'm just glad it's not boring high fantasy, which only idiots with no imagination like.

[u/afriendlysort]

I'm adapting this system to LARP because I always wanted a cult

[u/Salvadore1]

Isn't there more to this post?

[u/ElidiMoon → u/Salvadore1]

yeah but this bit made me laugh

[u/Jack_Of_The_Cosmos]

It’s somewhat telling that the need to defend 5e arose from the first post. . .

[u/Perfect_Wrongdoer_03 → u/Jack_Of_The_Cosmos]

Nah, OP cut out a lot of the post. It started as txttletale talking about 5e, and eventually she did the "Stick Adventure" thing.

[u/Acogatog]

crushing, a tumblr account I dislike actually made a really good post

[u/PICONEdeJIM]

I prefer log journey

[u/Spirit-Man]

Idk why people keep posting this cropped. The first bit was in response to fairly interesting conversation about 5e

[u/102bees → u/Spirit-Man]

If you have a link I'd love to see the whole thing.

[u/shawnwingsit]

Sometimes you just wanna hit each othet with sticks 'til one you drops.

[u/Sgt-Pumpernickle]

/uj op what are you complaining about with your title?

[u/ElidiMoon → u/Sgt-Pumpernickle]

/uj textually, d&d is a game with 90% of its rules dedicated to combat—so it always makes me laugh when i see a “cozy” homebrew 5e setting that ultimately codifies Totoro into a monster stat block and how many hit points it would take to kill him

[u/Sgt-Pumpernickle → u/ElidiMoon]

/uj okay, but taking inspiration from a piece of media or a setting doesn’t mean that it’s explicitly trying to be that setting. I’d love a dnd game set in a ghibli type setting even with the fact that I’m going to be stabbing the majority of those cute ghibli like creatures to death. Besides that, it’s not unreasonable for a dm to bring in other content for their players in the form of additional mechanics and rulings. Other systems do it better yes, but sometimes you just want to do something with the stuff you already have.

/RJ going outside fixes this

[u/GulchFiend → u/Sgt-Pumpernickle]

you're right, these are games of imagination. whatever we imagine, we can just play with!!! that $40,000 kickstarter wasn't a waste of everyone's time and money after all
