I'm curious if there's any decent scifi story, book or movie that portraits a dystopian future and deals with drought, famine and/or climate change that can be adapted as an RPG. (Perhaps a survival RPG type of thing).

There's no such thing as "us and them", there's only "us" and "us" includes every being on Earth. Everything on this planet, the natural world, the history, the culture belong to all of us, no matter how foreign or weird it might seem to you. This planet is our home, when there's a fire in one...

Perhaps they should pay in bottle caps instead. At least our grandchildren might find a use for it.

"I read on the Internet that our bags were made of plastic... I did... I read it on the Internet so it's true."

We currently don't have the technology to destroy the planet itself, but we are surely capable of destroying ourselves and the majority of life on the planet along with us. Some bacteria and other small organisms in hard to reach places might survive and then repopulate the planet, but the...

Reproduction and survival is the main goal of life, that's what "life" is all about, everything else is secondary. We're nothing but a spark in the universe, if you want to be the brightest spark possible, then destroying the planet you live on is NOT how you do it, that's just stupid. We've...

Overpopulation IS the issue, it adversely affects our species as well. Anyway, I'm not here to lecture you or anything, you can believe whatever you want.

Fallout 76 Engine Code Seems to Have Been Directly Copied From Skyrim and Fallout 4 https://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/fallout-76-engine-code-seems-to-have-been-directly-copied-from-skyrim-and-fallout-4-1955244 https://twitter.com/jhyjbj/status/1066679281273761792 I'm pretty sure there's...

I'm not speaking of an imaginary situation. This is something currently happening all over the World, whether in Asia or in Africa. As developing countries get richer, their people start to demand more because they can now afford it. People who could barely afford bikes now want to have cars...

I'd really like to know who's making the music for the game. Both Arcanum and VTMB had good music, but those were Troika days, and I can't think of any OE game with music as good as those. Don't know how the game will turn out, but I hope it'll at least have some nice music that's worth listening.

I have those books, but have never had the time or interest to read them, but if that's true then the game should have a solid story, it's Asimov after all.

If you don't want the freedom to create more realistic characters without dumping a particular stat in order to boost another, then we have nothing to talk about. Sure, not the same thing, but that's how they see it. The dump stat is basically the flaw of that character, according to them, not...

When a country becomes more developed, the needs of its people also go beyond the bare necessities. Everyone will want cars, the latest gadgets, etc. thus each household will need more and more energy etc. Those billions in India or China will want to enjoy the same luxuries the developed...

Except, the people who live in more developed countries consume more, thus pollute more.

The "flawed" characters in the minds of D&D players...

@Norzan No, of course it's not realistic, neither is all 1 char. But I don't want any restrictions on CC. I'm perfectly capable of creating the character I want to play, just let ME create whatever I want, I may give it a flaw or two myself, if that's what I want to play as.

If you want RPGs that implement D&D like rulesets, that's fine with me. I just want them to be more realistic and less "game like".

Bad design? Because it gives you freedom to choose? You don't want role-playing then, you pretty much want someone else do the role-playing for you by forcing you into character archetypes, such as classes. In Fallout you have to reduce one or two stats in order to become competent in one of...

A good RPG should be able to handle all 10 characters as well as all 1 characters, even provide special content for those cases. Those kinds of limitations on character creation basically kill role-playing and force people to min-max skills and stats. Just let the player create whatever...

I hope this game hasn't been rushed due to Microsoft's acquisition of OE or is announced way too early for the same reason.
