Hopefully I'll have actually played a campaign to completion.

The Gods blessed you too much, and now I shall end your misery! Such a fate does not await me!

Most of us won't have time for Veeky Forums because we'll be too busy fighting racewar.

Don't kid yourself, user.

I think there's going to be at least one Kickstarter rip-off on a gigantic scale for board games that'll sour that a bit. There really is a huge acceleration to crowd-funded exclusive flash in that industry right now.

We will probably see another D&D edition within that time period. This is more likely if PF2 manages to achieve decent market share.

This user still won't have played a campaign to completion.

Probably shift over to Veeky Forums tier stuff, but people still will discuss tabletop gaming. Hell, technology might actually make it easier to have friends over for a tabletop game and what not.

Hopefully GW will stay on track with its new leadership (and hopefully Kirby fucks off out of the company) and develop into something that is customer-centric while remaining within reason and decent pricing.

God I hate those types. They want change, but they do nothing productive to perform it. Whine whine whine, but not fucking action. No, holding a sign is not forcing change, nor is holding up traffic. Those folk have no power anywhere.

It'll happen. I shall make it happen.

But until then, making characters is fun in it's own right so I'm not hurting for content. It's just kind of annoying that all their development is finished later in minor writing projects that only serve to round off their stories.

The push for forced diversity will be peaking.
M:tG renames White to Yellow.

I love how, as long as you don't engage him in direct melee, or at least sword fighting, you can defeat him. Shit like dropping a shipping container on him or punching him in the face.

Fuck off applesponge

Slaanesh will bring him back anyway. There's BL novel about it.

>applesponge
who is that?

>M:tG renames White to Yellow.
Mmmm, I kind of doubt it. That would make the east Asians angry.

It's the leftist answer to 'soyboy.' The point is that it's supposed to emphasis their meaninglessness and irrelevance. Which is sort of ironic now that I think about it, since they still had to make a new nickname for them.

That's a good entertaining irony of that. The perpetual screeching punching bag. Funny his ego isn't tarnished by it, but hey, Slaanesh be like that.

>applesponge

What? That shit is delicious.

Please all of you fuck off and kill yourselves. Thank you.

but soy is vile and disgusting with the exception of soy sauce, while apples are delicious

What the hell did I do?
I just wanted to know that "applesponge" means

it looks delicious

Just a forced meme. Don't worry about it.

Wait that's a meal? I always imagined it to be kitchen sponge the shape of apple. English is weird.

It doesn't mean anything. It's just a nonsense word making fun of /pol/tards and their constant cries of soyboy.

If you see someone trying to start a political argument on Veeky Forums, you just call him an applesponge and tell him to fuck off. Easy-peasy Japanesey.

And then you look like a hilariously inept child similar to how SJWs kept trying to force infantile insults like “pissbaby”. The soy thing is annoying, but at least it has a reasoning behind it. Trying to force your own stupid meme insult the way a toddler calls other people names is ultimately doing you more harm than anything.

Nobody cares applesponge

Alright but how do we get all the nigrars out of our magic art?

>implying soyboy isn't

At least applesponge came from Veeky Forums and is used ironically. Soyboy almost certainly came from twitter or reddit and is used 100% earnestly

Double Nigger

I'm kinda expecting modular systems to make a comeback at some point soon with new editions. Don't get me wrong, they aren't dead, but from my subjective experience the likes of Gurps and Savage Worlds have taken a player loss in recent years.

Also if the current trend of new blood coming nto the hobby through streams continues I think we'll see a few more systems emerge with maybe one or two standing the test of time. Maybe even an increase in LARP activity due to Cosplayers branching out.

It din't come from anywhere because it's a forced meme that no one says. It's just you. Soyboy is simply an observation. Whether it's just correlated or if it's the actual cause of the state of soyboys, is irrelevant.

Where the fuck DID soyboy even come from, like originally?
I THINK it was from either some bodybuilding type or Paul Joseph Watson saying that consumption of soy rendered people "unmanly" because Soy contains plant estrogens, and not understanding a lick of science assuming that meant that it's akin to pumping your body full of actual female hormones (it isn't, the kind of estrogens in soy aren't anywhere close to the kind of estrogens your body would use in the same way you do animal estrogens), but soy products have links with diet fads like "gluten free", so the link was made with college liberals and the such anyways?

If they do a 6th edition I am fucking done.
They had their chance.
They didn't learn any lessons from 3.5 so they chucked it all out and made 4e.
They didn't learn what they did right in 4e so they tossed out the good parts, kept some of the shit parts, threw the rest away.
For 5e they refused to keep the parts of 3.5 that were good in concept, refused to put any effort into balancing them, and made a game that is 50% shit (the character building rules) and 50% good (the combat rules and some of the adventuring rules). 6e would have to be a continuation of 5e, there is no way they can afford to fracture the fanbase even further by going in yet-another new direction. Personally, I've given up, and run a mix of low-level 3.5 games, 5e games, and OSR systems. I couldn't give less of a fuck about PF 2e, and the martial/caster disparity is shoved so far up peoples' asses that they take any sign of bringing the game back to groundedness as an assault on martials, because martialcucks whine so loudly about wanting to play Hercules that no actual progress can be made. You even mention bringing the attack bonuses down from full 1x level to make the math of the game a little less divisive and all you get is spergouts calling you a "casterfag." And on the other end you have PaizoDrones screaming that nothing is wrong with the game.

Milk is the issue, since they pump the chickens full of real estrogen that does affect you. Soy is probably actually safer but it's also kinda gay to drink that shit.

>soyboy humour
I guess I just don't need to understand

I fuckin' love Alex Jones so much. The man's a national treasure, like every other sentence out of his mouth is gold.
Have an Alex Jones remix.

youtu.be/K6wUYvL_woI

>kill yourselves
Back to /pol/ with you. There's no place here for that kind of behavior

I want to say that with the amount of people who drink milk it's probably not enough to actually effect you, but I know America's food laws are kind of fucksville, so whatevs.
Also, chickens have something to do with milk production? Are... are you okay user?

I am going to write a Gamebook like FF that will sell millions and crash vidya market.

Shit, I'm a filthy leftist soyboy and I've never even heard the phrase "applesponge" used before now.

there will be more cute anime waifus xD and cute anime games hehe

Not much
Probably a decline.

Fuck, I actually was thinking about chickens. Cause of chicken breasts and the estrogen they give to pump up the meat.
Never mind, I'm retarded.

That's because it's not a leftist word. It came from Veeky Forums, never really left Veeky Forums, and is used exclusively by fa/tg/uys

I was actually thinking about replacing milk with soy or almond milk. Not out of vegan bullshit or anything, but just to cut the calories while still enjoying something resembling milk.

Gave up on the idea once I realized the shit cost almost twice as much normal milk.

I don't know what an applesponge is, but it sounds delicious. Like a cross between apple cobbler and sponge cake.

Probably the decline of collectible games and a bigger emphasis on board games.

Stop trying to make "applesponge" a meme

>milk is the issue
>because they pump the chickens full of estrogen
???
What does milk have to do with Chickens

I sure do enjoy a cold glass of chicken milk after a productive Veeky Forums session.

Why are 5e's character building rules shit?

>he doesn't know about the chickens

It's just a nonsensical buzzword that tranny janny is trying to force. Don't worry about it.

Like "soyboy"?

God willing, nothing.

Tranny janny isn't trying to force "soyboy".

plenty of normies leave because being a nerd ain't cool anymore. People who enjoy this shit remain.

Veeky Forums in 2022:
- Second year into D&D 6th Edition. Game is an unholy mix of 3e and 5e, fans of neither system like them. Druid fans are raging because errata released last week now says that they can no longer take magical creatures as animal companions, finally killing the meme where Druids have the Tarrasque as a companion.
- Games Workshop has lost a very costly lawsuit involving 3D printing of their miniatures. To try and save their asses the Squats were reintroduced. Fans immediately set out to convert the rules to a better edition because the preview for the rules for 40k Edition X look like even bigger shit than normal.
- After years of waiting there's finally a new edition of BattleTech. Fans rage because the side torso locations have been merged with the arms.
- Paizo releases Ultimate Pathfinder 2nd Edition, a great compilation of all the stuff that fans missed from the earlier tomes. Sales are underwhelming and paired with the lacking sales of their Planesfinder spinoff game Paizo is forced to lay off staff. Pathfinder fans continue to play 1e.
- The creators Kingdom Death enter a partnership with an infamous internet pornographer to produce miniatures of lewd goblins. This makes more money than both parties did combined in their entire careers.
- The minimal effort that Onyx Path put into Psion: The Mentalists has even the most diehard fans start to question the company. Rumors going about that a second reboot is going to be announced, with the names Annals of Darkness, Vampire: The Predation, Werewolf: The Howling and Mage: The Assimilation are floating around.
- The overwhelming success of Cyberpunk 2077 for the PC has fans waiting for the P&P edition, which will totally come out before Christmas, guys!
- Privateer Press goes under after the poor sales of the last few years that saw Warmahordes turned into a poor man's Warhammer Fantasy. IP is acquired by the rapidly growing Wyrd Games.

- We finally get a name for the new supplement for CthulhuTech: The Shadow War, and it's going to be Out Of The Shadow Time. Nobody really cares.
- To everybody's shock the third edition of FATAL is released out of the blue. It's 2000 pages long and came out two months ago. Nobody's read it in full yet.
- Wizards of the Coast gets its act together after the infamous crash of December 2019 when a group of internet personalities that used to advertise Magic: The Gathering broke down over the poor quality of the set Beleren Ascendant (Jace Beleren kills Nicol Bolas and usurps his power and becomes the Eternal Mind Dragon) and one of their front men went into a massive tirade blowing the lid off of the shitpit that is WotC. Sales plummet, and it takes an old-school set of quality cards that play well together in both drafts and constructed formats to bring fans back.
- After Ed Greenwood's passing his wife releases all of her late husband's notes. Because of Ed's contract everything he wrote is canon, and most of said notes are magical realm material. Fans laugh their asses off.
- The backer's version of Demon: The Fallen 20th Anniversary Edition is released. When a methodical/autisic fan realizes that a change was made to the lore regarding the early Earthbound and that Abaddon was summoned by the Magan civilization rather than the Akkadian Empire the lead writer starts a massive tirade on the now nearly-defunct Twitter calling the fan every bad name he can come up with, also calling him a fan of former YouTube personality Sargon of Akkad (who is serving a 35 year sentence for hate speech under the UK 2020 anti-facist laws). The writer is later reported to be found dead at his computer, having raged so hard he dies. Fan would be charged with murder, but charge falls flat because he lives in Poland, one of the last free bastions in Europe.
- Veeky Forums still does not know wat do with elf slave.

Pathfinder 2.0's release will cause a shitstorm of "Where did Pathfinder X go wrong?" or "PF vs PF2e" threads.

If current trends continue: less slobs, introverted losers, and spastic assholes.

it's /pol/ fags trying to meme, just ignore them.

More like spacewar

Stop trying to start political arguments on Veeky Forums and I guarantee no one will call you applesponge again.

For some not joking answers

>A big streaming service like Netflix or a tv network will create a larger budget D&D playing show with some more household names
>Patreon backed game creators become more common as less popular games continue to abandon traditional retail
>GW realizes it has several valuable IPs and continues to push harder into the videogame world with a AAA title.
>More and more scandals appearing in Veeky Forums related media, likely with some big name creator getting busted for something large.

We already know /pol/ faggots are retarded.

So do people who post things like just not give a fuck about SJW shit poisoning hobbies? It's not like it's a nonexistent thing, it happened to comic books, and then to video games.

The trick is to play a 2 player campaign with a NEET.

Hipsters will be bored of the hobby and will have moved on to the next thing.

God, I hope so. This whole hipster "rules light narrative PbtA" bullshit needs to die.

I mean I sure as fuck don't.
I'll buy things that I enjoy. I care about quality products, and putting an ideology first will inevitably make a bad product I won't buy.
The issue solves itself; all screeching about it does is give the people who make that the excuse they need to say they're "under attack" and double down on their position and paint you as the bad guy and them as the victim, and that's literally all it does. It actively strengthens their position.

There will be more people playing Veeky Forums than ever before and those of us who were here five years ago will be a tiny minority serviced only by indie games. If you thought the obsessive politicization of every possible facet of every imaginable hobby was bad now, wait till 2022.

D&D5E will have cemented itself as the de facto RPG as PF1E did before it. PF2E will be successful within the Paizo community but it will not dethrone D&D again. There will be ongoing D&D6E playtests that further streamline the game and introduce elements from the narrative indie games of the mid 2010s.

Netflix will put out several seasons of C list celebrities playing D&D together ala Critical Role.

Many of the small/mid size companies will have gone under, completely subsumed by individual "personalities" with Patreons and other crowdfunding sites. Kickstarters for specific projects will be much less successful and the emphasis on having an engaging personality will limit the number of active designers, as will a focus on any potential designer's past social media posts.

Stagnant economy and D&D mania will drive a lot of people out of full time RPG work and companies like Paizo and Onyx Path will face a grim future.

SJW shit is going to poison everything, wherever you are, or what you do they always feel the need to have the "agenda" shoved down your throat, should be something you need get used to in this Brave New World.

No, because they're incomparable. If you buy a comic book and it has transniggers or lesbians or white men or whatever else triggers you, your only options are to read it or not read it.

If a D&D manual has a picture of a girl with a sidecut and the fluff text says she only kisses girl orcs, you don't have to include that in your game. You're free to play the character as a heterosexual human-only homemaker because it's all in your head.

I'm honestly glad nu / tg / is starting to hate 40k as something "Only edgy teens, neck beards, and Nazis like" hopefully they won't have an interest in adding / leftypol/ shit to it because of said hatred.

>edgy teens, neck beards, and Nazis
So the average tabletop players? I find it hard to believe that a user here could be none of the above.

Or those that whine about the SJW boogeyman are just stupid

I am convinced that posters like these are leftists

I am convinced you don't know what a leftist is.

I only here shit like from commies, are you a commie comrade?

Someone who isn't right-wing or centrist

Are you having a stroke? Do you feel the warp overtaking you?

A change that I hope will happen, but which is highly unlikely, is that Veeky Forums will stop being such a shithole of stupid political bickering.

Okay but also someone calling you a paranoid retard doesn't make them left-wing.

>stupid political bickering
It's inescapable now, everyone is obsessed with making every aspect of life into a cultural struggle.

THE AGE OF THE FALSE EMPEROR IS OVER AT LAST! uhhmm, are you a commie though? i only here commies complain about how others aren't REAL leftists

"Hear"

At least someone recognizes what's going on.

Remember to s*ge cancerous threads if you do post in them.

I am convinced that you are stupid and smelly

The infinite void will consume all things, and WE will be the game pieces for the blind gods of the abyss. We can only hope that their unspeakable masters are good GMs.

I miss when saging was visible, and when threads would auto-sage if enough posters saged in them.

also i dont think using soy milk in baking works as well.

>threads would auto-sage if enough posters saged in them
Removal of visible sage was a bad idea, because without it, people forget that the sage option exists, but it's a good thing we don't have reactive autosage. That really does turn sage into a downvote.

How disingenuous.

I think there will be a shift back towards cruncher RPGs, as the simpleness of the narrative games becomes stale and customization becomes more streamlined thanks to online character creation apps (4E's DDI was a nice step in the pool. I think we'll see more of that). However, the crunch isn't going to go as far as it was, instead finding a nice middle ground between the two worlds.

I also expect to see more Twitch streaming of games, with the success of Critical Roll. Like a previous user said, technology will make it easier for groups to be made online which might allow to finish a campaign. Fingers Crossed Little Buddy.

>Cyberpunk 2077
You know that will never be finish.
