    Kickstarter Bloatware

    This is why I pushed back my purchase of the new official Daggerheart supplement. I have a bunch of other non-Daggerheart campaigns planned and I probably won't get to Daggerheart before at the very October-ish. So I didn't see the reason to tie up my money now.

    Kickstarter Bloatware

    I agree with lots of the others - I haven't really backed any KS that made me get junk I didn't want. Maybe I'm too selective or maybe I don't back at high enough a tier.

    Looking for Draw Steel extended play review

    to me this reads all the more balanced for the fact that at the end you might not continue. It really seemed from the pros/cons that you were more in favor. Thanks for bringing that balance and honesty.

    D&D General How Did You Generate Your Most Recent Character's Stats?

    Fixed array. Lots of stuff I leave to luck, but character is not one.

    Painting minis?

    So far only one person mentioned 3D printed minis. As someone who will have a 3D printer very soon, what - if anything - is different about painting those? Also the local FLGS has a free paint station with paints, 3rd hands, magnifying lenses. Even the paint that's already open there is free. (I...

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    Yeah, assuming I didn't forget an update that mentioned increased costs due to shortages/tariffs/etc that's my guess. It's part of the reason that if a smaller creator doesn't just use RPGDriveThru on-demand printing for their physical books, I stick to digital rewards.

    Tell me about the RPG section of your local game store

    This year we did an American Revolution/Salem Witch Trials trip with the family and ended up visiting a comic shop/FLGS in every city. The one in Salem is HUGE and the TTRPG section is downstairs. But if you like comics....man, I could have spent my entire salary in there and still wanted more.

    Tell me about the RPG section of your local game store

    When I went to a VERY nice FLGS / Comic Shop in Lexington, Massachusetts they had a cafe there as well as a cyber cafe upstairs.

    What’s the draw of licensed games?

    So far the only one where I cared was Cosmere. Because the official adventures fill in some of the backstory to the books. I haven't really cared about any other IP.

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2E Quickstart?

    Unsure of the free stuff, but there is the beginner box set. I think I saw on reddit that there might be a new one coming out in February. The current box set is in this humble bundle: Humble RPG Bundle: Pathfinder Second Edition Holiday Haul Bundle by Paizo for $40 you get all the core books...

    D&D General I built a 'Spotify Wrapped' for D&D campaigns. Here’s what my yearly recap looks like.

    That's really cool, especially how neat it looks graphically. I definitely do summaries of my music, videogames, books, and TTRPGs, but I feel doing it this time of year is too early. Still a few weeks to go and sometimes things do change dramatically at the end - I discover a new game that I...
