      Not to be confused with “theater kid (extremely derogatory)” for Vampire The Masquerade.

    GURPS. The “Overcomplicated” part stems from 4channers deciding an optional rule that the majority of people will never actually encounter in a game means you have to do calculus all the time. The actual majority of the game is roll 3 dice, try to get under the number next to your skill plus modifiers.

      As someone who’s played countless hours of GURPS, back in the 90s, I will point out that the general saltiness at its unrepentant chonk was always a thing, and long before “4channers” existed. (even before most of those backbirths were even zygotes)

      Also, your perspective seems to ignore the unconscionable levels of inelegant bullshit that every GM had to slog through just to run a damn session, let alone a campaign.

      Oh, "campaigns"...

      The original geek addiction that makes MtG/WH/etc. look like amateurs. That sweet, timeless, fantasy of an ongoing, regularly-attended group weave of arcs that’s hooked deep each NIB “forever-DM” right in their inner kid… le sigh. 🥲

    Just to note, “indie company” and “2nd biggest game on the market” aren’t mutually exclusive. This isn’t a big market, and most of it is D&D.

      Ya, they are an order of magnitude smaller than D&D but also an order of magnitude larger than the #3
