Better Than It Sounds/Tabletop Games: Difference between revisions

** Incredibly self-destructive habits become the path to magical power. Conspiracy and cosmic bumfights ensue.

* {{spoiler|[[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40,000]]}}: The local church and a posse of nerds try to keep nosy neighbors, hoodlums, an insect infestation, some old malfunctioning robots, and some really creepy things from another dimension out of their neighborhood on behalf of a disabled veteran.

* {{spoiler|Weapons of the Gods}}: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, only instead of Chow Yun Fat and Zhang Ziyi, you look at paper. And instead of breathtaking martial arts sequences with a world-class fight director, you roll dice. Sex makes you a better fighter. Character creation requires a crash course in Ancient History.

* {{spoiler|''[[The World of Darkness]]''}}: A world that looks like our own, but there's secret monster societies hidden in ''every'' shadow. Vampires angst about being vampires and play politics, werewolves are either ecoterrorists or spiritual border patrol guards depending on the version, and mages fight against reality. And it's entirely debatable whether the humans who fight the monsters are any better than the creatures they hunt.
