I might've missed my chance to get the game from my LFGS. There were several copies of it when I was at the store a week or so ago, and it was listed on the website. It's no longer listed on their website. Sad.

Found this AMA over at reddit (opened a few hours ago. OP says they'll keep the AMA going through the holidays):

I went to the FLGS the other day and got Wanderhome hardcover edition. (I almost walked out without asking for the PDF, which they emailed me.)

Drop anyone in New Jersey, they will come out a significantly worse driver than before. Trust me.

@Umbran What do you think about certain types threads, like [+] threads for a game, being opened by a mod account. Assuming that the mod account used to create the thread never blocks anyone, it seems like it will prevent people from getting locked out of certain types of threads. Of course...

You are not alone. My partner works in publishing (which is not exactly the same) and they shared some tips. According to them, whoever you are directly purchasing from will receive the most direct financial benefit. So yeah, if your goal is to make sure the bulk of your money makes it to the...

I actually don't think there is an actual disagreement. It seems like both agree with the following statement: "Playing other TTRPGs may OR may not improve your DMing." The difference seems to be that one is putting a bit more weight on one side of the "OR," which at times gets interpreted as...

Is this true? I tried to do a search online to verify. Am I searching incorrectly? (Would love to lower my rates :P) Why don’t CDL holders get a discount on auto insurance!? Any insurers that offer discounts for CDL drivers? Does trucking significantly lower your car insurance? Does Having A...

I actually haven't played any of the games in the bundle. I am interested in the following: Apocalypse World 2nd Ed Punk is Dead Root RPG Be Like a Cat Sentai & Sensibility Games I already own but sadly haven't played: Dragonbane Vaesen

A few days ago, I visited my local game store. The last time I walked into the store, I believe was near the end of 2024—I think I was buying Hanukkah presents or something. The store's RPG section, which was all the way in the back, had been growing, dominated by Warhammer and DND, with some...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I just meant I disagree with the premise that "playing other games make you a better DM." My point was if playing DND doesn't make you better at games like Blades in the Dark, Candela Obscura, or Daggerheart, why should the opposite be true? I'll add an edit to my...

Gonna make one small contribution to the topic of "playing other [non-DND] games will make you a better GM [for DND]." I've read in various social medias (including this forum) about how DND makes you bad at fiction first games. Something about how difficult it is to get out of DND mindset...

Just want to add one more thing and I'll move on from this thread. When I do participate in an RPG, whether as a player or a DM, I do not do it lightly. I saw friendships shatter, and experienced something deeply traumatic. I believe something about the nature of role-playing brings out...

What makes you think I haven't ;) I also like Bob World Builder. He seems so chill. EDIT: Oops I was in the middle of writing a different post, and that got all jumbled in there.

The rewrite is definitely more digestible to me than the original post. The original post made me feel like I was defective for finding DMing difficult. I mean, the title says "DMing is not hard," and there is a paragraph whose first sentence is "DMing is not that hard." Unfortunately, even...
