Not quite a Tolkien ripoff like we had a lot in the 80s, but a tendency to favor world-building over plot and characterization. In Sanderson&#39;s case it&#39;s less about conlangs, and more about magic systems, social orders and the like.<br/><br/>I&#39;m generally susceptible to that stuff, but found this a bit too LEGO/Mindcraft-like, where the building blocks were a bit too visible. But I guess that makes this kind of stuff rather gamer-friendly…<br/><br/>It&#39;s been a while, but I think I kinda liked the first Rothfuss novel, but it lost me with the sequel and so I wasn&#39;t too disappointed when he went all GRRM.<br/><br/>There might also be a bit of overlap with fans of Jim Butcher. TV-Series-level world-building, magic systems and just a lotta books. 2025-10-11T09:58:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs08ldcgkdfy2czc5dl2n96627f7qd57st9h5ypldc2d56ra879plszyrsjg4fh9dcez7a0q9xhzp6r958n3qdct7talcg369y8kj5zc43pwxqm70p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2hjgqj7up32ts3g6tcczy4x23nxvc7s2d28sw9xtcvg8drpvjdws4ewv48'>nevent1q…wv48</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We’re talking about the turn of the millennium here, so everything got a bit more “realistic” and often with a touch of conspiracies – this was White Wolf after all. Alternity with its Star*Drive was the more classic one.<br/><br/>The problem with sci-fi RPGs is that they’re often rather one-off publications, and published adventures are especially rare, so I had to include corner cases. FTL Space Opera that’s *not* a franchise is rare in general, and even more so in that era. (It’s a *retro* genre, so unsurprisingly it got a lot bigger in the *retroclone* era, although even then you’d be hard pressed to find games that aren’t just limited to the core rules and maybe a setting/tech guide) 2025-09-26T21:01:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyhgjk49jnyjhe7dlw225ma4awltssuy8ugrfwknxry8p69r66m8szyrsjg4fh9dcez7a0q9xhzp6r958n3qdct7talcg369y8kj5zc43pw0usvtt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp20cu9v04ss98kwatxcnm8zpax5ad0s2vr67hqecmdqjtlkqsstsc6rpcm'>nevent1q…rpcm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ah, gotcha.
