Your thoughts on this system? Any good or just hyped out of proportion by the anime?
From what I read it seems to be more freeform than any nitty gritty mechanics

It's unironically better than DnD 5e, but that's honestly not very hard to do.
Going with the latter if it’s anything like the anime.
Season 1 is just : situation, every character reacts with their 1 trait, next scene
Season 2 was a little better and exploiting their traits was used to create situations or solve problems
But then the “movie” was right back to S1 method. Literally just a series of vignettes where each character shouts out their 1 trait and then we move on. Garbage. And yet people on this site were RAVING about how good it was.
There’s a special kind of autism in anime communities where the autist can overlook lack of quality as long as [thing] creates a community that allows them to communicate with other people through the medium of reference to a shared interest, lubricating their otherwise defective and autistic social gears.
Konosuba is one such example and so is JoJos.
You're overestimating the reason why people like Konosuba. Honestly it just comes down to wiafushit. You have the dumb bimbo, the dumb bimbo with a BDSM fetish, and the e-girl. Of course basement-dwelling turbo-virgins were going to love it.
That’s an element, but I’ve talked to people in real life who I don’t believe are total perverts and they insist the show is funny.
Again, I think it’s an autism thing. S1 and the movie have such a rigid formula, you can literally count off the characters saying their catchphrases each time a new situation comes up. But autists love that shit. Predictable isn’t boring to them, it’s reassuring. Especially in comedy when they’re used to not getting the joke, expecting the character to react with their 1 and only character trait makes them feel more socially capable than they are.
It's not an autism thing. It's a normie thing. It's a show about that one friend you have who keeps getting themselves into deep shit because they're fricking bragging morons, and you're only friends with them so you can see what hole they dig themselves into next.
If I were a young adult, this show would be the funniest shit to me, because I shit you not, each and every one of my group at the time were straight up playing the same PCs as the characters in KonoSuba. This is years before KonoSuba, so the guy who made it clearly understood what young adult normies do with DnD.
I'm not defending the show, but, well I guess I kind of am, but my intention is to explain that KonoSuba is the product of an actual TTRPG player, not some guy trying to make a quick buck.
Didnt the writer make a sci-fi series that was actually in a fantasy setting all along that completely bombed?
I think it's still going on, Combat Number 6 or whatever it's called. Kemono Michi/ Animal Mask is the best of his series imho, a Japanese pro wrestler gets isekai'd and opens a demon beast animal shop.
Weebs love it because they all (rightfully) want a cute wizard gf.
So you didn't play the game?
I don't need a writeup about a show. Do you just wait around for a chance to rant even when it's marginally at best connected to the topic?
Nah the movie was great
I’m specifically saying that Konosuba fans are almost exclusively autists who either don’t know or don’t care that the franchize sucks ass, because ultimately what they enjoy about it is it making it easier to talk to fellow autists as ordinarily they lack the skills to socialize.
With that in mind, anyone who likes Konosuba and has played this game cannot give you a rational opinion of its quality.
OP is asking about the quality of the game. I have explained why fans of the show are terrible judges of quality and therefore likely to be incorrect about the quality of the game.
Sometimes you have to refer to things outside of tabletop to talk about tabletop. I’m sure you’ve already screamed about it to jannies.
OP asked about a game. You went off on an irrelevant tangent about the anime with a bunch of bizarre complaints - as if mainstream comedy isn't incredibly formulaic and predictable, for a start.
>”is this game good?”
>here’s why you can’t trust the opinion of people likely to play it
>”OMG OFF-TOPIC!!! JANNIES!?!?!?”
>is the game good?
>REEEE ANIME REEEEE
You're throwing a hissy fit about a fantasy (V)RPG sitcom. Which you watched two seasons and a movie of despite apparently all of its fans all being unbearable autists.
The anime was stupid enough that I liked it - but who would want to play a game in that setting? Wasn't the point of it that the world was the stalest shit?
Isn't this basically sword world?
yes but with "cheats" close to genesys heroic abilities but more busted
I couldn't tell if it's any good.
The whole thing seems to be written in cringy gm/player dialogue. No not fluff, not examples - everything. The crunch too.
Could be the best system in the world and wouldn't be able to read this.
I suspect it isn't
I take that back. It's only the first 100 pages and the rules are put in later again in a readable format.
But I still wouldn't want to play that.
At least it doesn't seem to have Something special in it besides giving you animu protag powers once per scenario.
Typical JTRPG, 70% of book is replay and "how to run Konosuba style adventure" section.
Rules are super reduced SW2.0, standard 2D6 with attribute modifier, 6 is crit, snake eyes fumble, classic reroll resource. Nothing special, you could just grab SW and it would be better game. But it's cheap and classes are relatively balanced so there's that, you could reduce the rules to 2-3 pages and total noob can pick it up instantly.
Is the official English translated version out and making the rounds? Cuz I've yet to see it on the usual Archives. And all I have on hand is the fan-translated one uploaded last December.
It's out, costs like 15 bucks and translation quality is alright, some minor editing errors here and there. Doesn't change the fact that's it just typical "popular anime" JTRPG that just copies standard SW formula. Not the worst way to spend 15 bucks if you want to run few oneshots, don't expect to make campaign out of it.
Decent price for what it presents itself as. Cool. Thanks Anon!
Despite the turbo-autists shitting up the thread by complaining about anime, the anime's fans, why you shouldn't trust anime fans' opinions due to some autistic moral highground and misc shitposting, all it took was 2-3 anons actually giving related feedback to make the thread quality skyrocket.
To the people actually having the reading comprehension required to understand and reply to OP's question in a relevant manner; Thank you.
To everyone else; a merry go frick yourself.
Youre the same homosexual who thanked someone for this
"answer". What happened? Deleted the post out of shame?
I can tell because you despite the fact absolutely no one claims to have played the game, you're still praising anyone who tells you they don't expect it to be good, so long as they don't insult Konosuba fans while doing so.
I bought it because I like Konosuba, but I'm not interested in playing a game in the Konosuba setting. That seems really bizarre to me because it's basically just a mmo parody setting that wouldn't be all that different than normal d&d. What does interest me is hearing people here say it's Sword World lite. That means it's basically the only English printing that exists of the rules set. How hard would it be to port these rules to the Sword World setting?
The rules would work, they're generic enough for any anime fantasy, you will have to make the classes and magic mostly from ground up and campaign would take some serious tweaking because there's frick all when it comes to high level play.
Default SW setting is basically just Lodoss with bit of Runequest magic and gods glued on sides, if you're familiar with those you can transplant it in any system.
Real question is why not just use the fantranslation of SW2.0?
I really really do not like playing ttrpg with laptops at the table. The wiki style rules kind of prevents me from even printing it out I believe? Last I checked the rules weren't even finished. SW needs an English printing badly.
They have PDF, all core books are translated, including EX

Alshard is multiclass, Konosuba is boiled down to absolute basics but still has rolltables akin to SW.
Problem with SRS is that every single fricking game is like its own edition. It's like JP PbtA.
Get a tablet, my dude.
Its nothing with space limitations. I think technology at the table is antithetical to the hobby. I still use pdfs and websites and what not to design adventures, but when i DM its pen and paper. I do occasionally look thru a note on my phone but thats it.
Stop bringing up Sword World in Standard Roleplay System threads. They are completely different games.
Alshard is the game you should be recommending when it comes to SRS games, since Konosuba (like almost all SRS games) is just a rekin of Alshard with maybe some new classes/races.
Also, unlike SW, Alshard has a translated pdf.
I just wanted to say that Aqua is best girl
True.
>literal moron
keep her i'll keep loving the cute and funny megumin
>is named after liquid
>but will not urinate with you
>yet is "best" girl
Aqua is 6th in line, at best. Even the barely mentioned Chris is less likely to turn a normal activity like pissing together into some form of extortion.
