Unfortunately, I won't be doing any more recaps of their video chats. I hope everyone enjoyed what I previously did.

Nothing ironic about South Carolina failing to succeed.

Why are there no posts in this thread? EDIT: oops, I missed that that someone had already made this joke.

It's said that The Day After actually helped prevent nuclear war, in that President Reagan saw it and resolved to press for more peace talks with the U.S.S.R. Which in fact he did. If history can repeat itself, a horrifying movie about the United States tearing itself apart in bloody fashion...

Stretch goals!

Sort of loyal to D&D. But Hasbro is making me regret that. I probably would have bought the 5.5e books next year, even though physical books are kind of superfluous nowadays, because I like having books. But I do not like supporting the company that makes them, especially at this time. It...

This could be (and maybe should be) its own thread, but...no way. Paladins are THE best class in 5e. I've seen that from both sides: my most powerful character as a player was a paladin, and the character that frustrated me the most as a DM was emphatically a paladin. They're great tanks, do...

I met Carrot Top a few times back in the 90s. He's extremely nice. Genuinely good guy. Make of that information what you will.

Please do continue to not care what I say. I am unimportant. But please do care what victims of assault and harassment say. You dismissed it as "nerd rage", as if this whole tragic situation is like fans being mad that Flash is has dark hair in a Spider-Man movie. The accounts of Mandy and...

I believe women. I believe victims. I make zero apologies for that. I also believe my own eyes, and I've seen all the times Mearls defended the person in question, right up to the point where it was too radioactive for him to do anymore. The evidence is still out there if you want to Google it...

Everyone seems so shocked that Mike Mearls was canned, but why? Has everyone forgotten how Mearls hired two of the most toxic figures in the RPG world as consultants for 5e? And how when multiple people accused one of them of sexual assault, Mearls allegedly elicited their testimony, then sent...

Definitely not, and I hope I didn't imply that it was. Shadowdark is a cool system. I'm guessing my DM had certain preconceptions about how an adventure "should" be run which perhaps didn't fit with the roll-and-go philosophy of Shadowdark. It depends on what kind of story you're trying to...

First, please bear in mind that I'm paraphrasing these guys. If you'd heard what they said verbatim, it's possible you would have agreed with them more. I hope I'm doing a good job summarizing what they said, but even the best-intentioned people can screw that up. But also, I respectfully...

Whew. Just watched the latest stream, because I don't have a life I guess? Or I'm addicted to likes. Some takeaways: * The game will have a crafting system for magic items, which includes single-use magic items. They won't have rituals, because those use-once items will fill that role. * Matt...

Look at you, Daddy Warbucks! Can I join your game?

The digression into 4e reminded me of something else Matt said on the stream. He wants this new game to be homebrewable. He called out 4e as being very difficult to homebrew, because classes were so complex and there were 30 levels of each one. Coming up with your own class was a huge effort...

My wife would like to have a word with you about my massive dice collection.

I listened to the entire Q&A today as I was watching football and cleaning. Some takeaways: * They expect a playtest packet this month for Patreon supporters. * I love Matt's honesty. At one point he said if that if money was tight for you with the holidays coming up, don't feel like you have...

For whatever my opinion is worth, I really like that ability score increases have (mostly) been moved to backgrounds. Saying my character is strong because he's a soldier or laborer makes more sense than saying he's strong because he's a dwarf. It's less politically touchy, but it also seems...

No, although she wasn't a nobody either. She had the highest-rated adventure of all time on DMs Guild and a solid cult following for her adventure writing. But more importantly, Shadowdark benefited from a wave of great reviews and buzz. Backers steadily came on board as they encountered rave...
