I'm the same, rather than go for fancy colours and gimmicky dice I can't easily use, I go for plain, light coloured dice with black numbers, nice and easy to read.

If I'm working or doing game prep, I've found that anything I'm listening too isn't really being paid enough attention for me to recall it anyway, I just can't split my attention enough to make it worthwhile.

This reminds me that I lose interest in a lot of content that I might otherwise be interested in because people feel the need to post it on youtube. Like: "Here's 5 things that might help you become a better DM, let's go over them in my 15 minute video." I'd much rather skim a write-up.

So, ignoring the original pick a path fighting fantasy books, my first rpg purchase, I think, was this (though the english version): I guess there might have been a couple that were for group play that came out before AFF but I can't remember the name. Probably atill at my mum's house, she...

I'm kind of the same, I'm no longer in the mood to read some 800 page novel like I used to be. Something small and easy to read is just perfect for me, I think that's why I've gone back to reading RE Howard.

Love those movies, watched them many times. I didn't actually mind the movies I got them and a bunch of other movies from a friend which helped distract me from study back in my uni days, though never got around to seeing the last one. Won't be watching the series that's being made, don't...

Sometimes I wish we still had the large selection of tales magazines of the 1930s to showcase smaller stories.

Anything Tolkein related, though I guess I'm not refusing to take part, I just found his books so incredibly boring I have no enthusiasm to watch any of the shows. I did watch the first 3 movies all those years ago, but no interest in anything else Tolkein. Not interested in Game of thrones...

In the setting I made ages ago, the gods are from a race of celestials who seized the cornerstones of creation, ascending them to godhood and allowing them to cast back the fiendish horde invading the upper planes. They then bound the elementals into the inner planes, banished their titan...

I agree; I think this is why people talk about systemic racism. You can be racist and have power, and racist and have no power, but the former can actively prevent the target of their racism from advancement using systems in their control. As a couple of examples here in NZ I've heard (I think...

One thing I can think of is health and safety, buildings will typically have a maximum occupancy by floor to enable ease egress during a fire or other emergency. It might be less about how many people are actually using each bedroom and more about how many people are in each apartment, saying 2...

Yeah, the generators can be a little weird with what they won't allow, once I had an image fail, I added a full stop to the end of the last sentence and it made the image. I've been having issues creating an image of Belit from queen of the black coast, the description of her clearly wouldn't...

Yeah, I get the feeling they don't care anymore, sadly.

Strongholds and followers was great, I think I was running off that thinking K&W would be a great expansion on it. I have some other products from them and generally quite like their stuff, I think the only thing that stopped us using their classes was that everyone was comfortable using...
