It's also fascinating to look at yourself and see how you think. We are creatures of patterns and habits. We react much more than we act. And once you look at it, it's really difficult to unsee how we react or hold certain opinions out of psychological shortcuts more than anything.

I keep seeing the elegance and simplicity of 1E referred. Being more interested in games light in rules, I've been wanting to have a look.

First edition?

I agree. I'm excited there's a season 2, I hope they move into a more anthologic format where each season is its own story. There's so many different stories to be told in that setting.

The phases stopped meaning anything a while ago in my opinion. The first three had an obvious structure and direction to them. Endgame was six years ago, there's been so many movies and TV shows and it all feels like a huge spaghetti with no clear buildup, arc or ending point. I'm sure the big...

I'm kinda surprised that Mothership's Warden Guide is nominated as a supplement? It's not really a supplement, it's a core book. I don't even know if you can buy it separated from the core sets. Maybe in PDF?

I bought it with a handful of other cyberpunk foundational books a few years back, got to read the others but not Neuromancer. I guess I'll have to join.

Here in Quebec, we call Coca-Cola "Coke". If you wanted a Coca-cola you'd ask for a Coke. Most other brands we call by their name. Interestingly enough, the French translation for Soft Drink is Boisson Gazeuse, or Fizzy Drink if you want. However, most Quebeccer call all soft drinks Liqueur...

I'm really underwhelmed that they do not ship outside of the US. Print-on-demand is not a bad option, but as I own the original I wanted to get the expansion in a form factor, paper and format that fit with it. I hope my FLGS will get a copy.

I wonder how much of that hundreds of thousands will end in the pockets of Bledsaw.

I agree. But I do think it's a cause for much friction. I'm sure it'll ease over a few months.

I had zero interest in Daggerheart. But I've read a bit about it in the past days and there's interesting ideas. My interest is growing. I think the issues I see most raised are with the metacurrencies and the narrative that's more freeform than in more rigid designs. Having been brought up on...

D&D has gnomes. Every game needs a martyr.

Ultraviolet Grasslands is absolutely phenomenal. Most people don't know this, but it's just a setting. There was an accompanying PDF with a simple OSR ruleset available, but technically there's no rule. It's just some weird goodness with gorgeous and evocative moebius-like art. It's definitely...

I finished this a few weeks ago. I highly recommend it. It definitely was one of the best history books I read in the last two or three years. I've taken a break of reading from the last month (as if I'm not reading TTRPG stuff everyday). Right now I have two books on my nightstand, don't know...

I ran a pretty long campaign of Starfinder 1E and had a blast. However, some of the rules were a bit tedious and when they announced making a 2E with PF2E's chassis, I was invested. Now, I've followed the playtest and development on and off. I definitely have no played it. So this is entirely...

Piracy is a complicated topics. But it's an issue of economics of accessibility (or user experience). I don't have any researched numbers, but I know that a vast majority of pirates pirate video games because they either can't afford them, can't access them or the user experience of pirating it...

I agree. But I think that the value of something is irrelevant. We're talking about perceived value. That's why I'm saying that the PDF isn't inherent less valuable, but my perceived value of it is different. And we have the same situation in video games. Indies tend to lower the price of their...

You're mostly right. But the thing is that Perkins and Crawford most likely didn't have to make any of these decisions at WotC. If we'd talk about someone like Kevin Crawford (Without Number games), there's no doubt in my mind that in addition to being a creative, he had to just go through it...

Exactly, excellent creatives doesn't mean great entrepreneurs.
