the aggression casuals have towards people who actually want to learn a game well, let alone those people who can learn it inside out, is insane and has been consistent across every game i've played so far and i still don't really understand why

Turn based RPGs with interesting mechanics?
From my non super indepth knowledge we have
>"JRPGs"
which are not too fundamentally different from DnD itself. I've never really played DnD much so I'm not too expert on it. Characters move in turns and to random checks based on their stats and what skill they used. Typically a JRPG doesn't have movement on a landscape very much at all, typically the characters position either doesn't matter (classic FF or Pokemon) or very little like Persona/Shin Megami(at least once you're actually engaged in battle)
>Strat RPGs
With either a tile system or more of a war gaming distance system.
>Card battle RPGs
These are like Yuigoh or Pokemon or Magic The Gathering where you have a deck of cards and each card has some kind of complex set of rules that are delineated on each card.

I like strat RPGs but at the same time I think the movement can be an unnecessary complication. I think card games can be kind of ugly visually, trying to represent a non video game type game in a format that doesn't need it, also having to memorize the rules on 50 different cards is needlessly complex. JRPGs can be way to simplistic and just matter more on stats and grinding but this can kind of apply to all RPGs.

I kind of have a halfway idea for an original game. I think since RPGs kind of inherently rely on RNG I think the gambling aspect of them is kind of underutilized, so maybe if there was a way to take the fun of traditional card games and betting like Poker and etc. and translate that to an RPG.

What do you think?

anyone played this? its pretty great
verm was very relatable

Strange request but I would like to deepen my analysis of the game and one aspect I'd like to tackle is structural mechanics of oppression, its radical means of dismantlement and historical comparisons from communist and anarchist movements (preferably small communes). Zapatistas for example
I would also like resources to create comparisons to slavery in America through economics, social movement and moral decay so I can contrast it with the ways social progress is motivated through change in production that the protagonist and his commune put into effect.
To top it off, this would have to be somewhat digestible in a way that even (neo)liberal leftists can understand, which means it would have to go against idpol and optics (focusing on the work being problematic instead of the work itself), as well as a complete disregard or ignorance of historical materialism.
I'm also deeply uneducated in the subject so I need to deepen my vocabulary as I just wing it from common sense and my own set of beliefs.
Also if someone wants to argue the game with me, I'd be glad to do so.

Have you played it yet?

I love it when video games have a free market of some kind. It’s really enjoyable to exploit the economy in some way and to watch it crash and burn after a few years.

Recently I tried to revisit some games I used to play, the game had a player based market system. In few years the entire economy was ruined and huge inflation happened where items grew in prices and newer players lost the ability to even participate since everything became overpriced and the stunted player base was not growing thus creating a rift between older player who have been playing for a long time and new player who either came back or just started and thus have nothing to offer the older players and thus cannot really participate in the economy in any meaningful way.

Do you enjoy having a free market in games?

An indie dev pointed out that you get basically no coverage unless you pay youtubers to make videos about your game (didn't even make a moral judgement about it, only brought up every youtuber asked them for money) and they got shat on by everyone in the replies, oh how the times change. I thought I was going crazy reading the replies, not many years ago everyone would agree that paying for reviews is a shitty thing to do. Collusion is good now I guess.

Why don't we get leftist ludo like this anymore?

Man these recent events have me really frustrated, I totally don't want to commit terrorism since I still have a few plans with my career and don't want to get imprisoned, but let me see some games were I can be a downright terrorist and shoot "innocent" fascists and settlers
