Nothing is more belly laugh inducing than having adults sitting around a table playing elf games and trying to take themselves and the game super seriously.

'Elf games'? What is an 'elf game'?

That’s why you split the difference and go with science fantasy. All the cool stuff and none of the rigor.

'Elf games'? What is an 'elf game'?

The various D&D traditions which people put far too much weight into, as they gaze at their naval.

You know that annoying guy who minored in philosophy in undergrad and now thinks that this minor means that they have smart things to say as if they were a philosophy professor but only seem capable of making philosophically and intellectually insipid half-baked comments while misuing terms in Latin and butchering key philosophic concepts? If that guy was a TTRPG setting, they would be Planescape.

Gnomes are great; the world could stand to have a lot more whimsy in it

I'm glad I tried an autognome, they're awesome too.

Eternals was a stunning movie and there should be an entire phase of the MCU devoted to fleshing out each of the characters from it.

It would be nice to have more than the zero fleshed out Eternals characters we have now.

That’s Bishop Berkeley to you, chummer.

This is a thread concerning opinions, not universal truths.

True.

And it has been my experience in gaming since '79. Of course, I run long-term campaigns exclusively.

Gaming since ‘77 in over 100 systems.

“Long-term” is nebulous. Personally, except for campaigns that fizzled, I generally run/participate in campaigns with lifespans measured in years. The longest lasted more than a decade, starting with AD&D, converting over time to 2nd, 3rd and almost to 3.5Ed.
