C:TD discourse is so funny. Just apparently like the best game ever made hindered by the fact that no one outside the nerds that other nerds call nerds can be convinced to play as what is essentially a moody fairy navigating fairy politics
And then you have things like Beast: The Primordial, which by all accounts has been actually played less than like 100 times in history just because it immediately came out that it was basically one of the main author’s domination kink made into a game.
Ooh, I might know just the nerds to give this a go
Beast, right?
Hell yeah kithain
my TTRPG dream is to be a player in a game someday.
Guys, I think I just got a game.
It’s such an odd game. There are some genuinely interesting dichotomies at play, a lot of potential for good drama, and themes I like, but it is not easy to wrap your head around, and moreover the book feels like it was laid out by an actual faerie. Which is kinda atmospheric, I guess, but you could, you know, impose some organization in the character building sections so players can find stuff.
My wife (girlfriend at the time) ran a short campaign for some of our friends a little over 10 years ago. It was fun, but damn. Building a character was such a headache.
