Played and ran quite a few. First one was back in HS 3.5 days, our party was half dragon, half fiend, bugbear and werewolf. Played in all undead campaigns, all drow campaigns, all lycanthrope campaigns and some with monster mixes. In PF1, i ran "We be goblins" and "We be goblins too", but...

It's not binary. There are few categories: It doesn't work by design (4e) It works by design (0-2ed) It can work, but it takes some extra work by DM (5e) It can work, but it takes lot's of extra work by DM (3.X)

In some games, power difference works well. D&D isn't one of them ( at least since 3ed). It's mostly due to the fact that with each level characters mostly grow in power vertically. With levels, HP go up, there are stat increases, to hit increase ( less so with 5e, but prof mod increase is there...

At someones home. Be it DM's, be it one of the players. We rotate at hosting. Exception was when one of us had newborn/very young kid, then we would play at that persons house. It's practical. I can play and keep eye on kid (if he needs feeding, diaper change etc). It also gives wife free time...

Only problem is, there is no universal way to determine what is fair price. It's completely subjective and depends on ratio of price and value you get out of product. Best way would probably be - price with which both buyer and seller are reasonably satisfied.

I'm not kickstarter fan, but as a Diablo fan, if hardcovers ever hit regular sale, i will buy it, if for no other reason, than as cool art and lore books to enjoy.

It's Conan with filed off serial numbers. If i remember correctly, they didn't have rights to use Conan in Red Sonia movies, even though it was same studio that did all 3 movies. Kalidor sounds similar and in all other aspects, Arnie just plays Conan. TBH i don't think that movie was bad...

Visa/MC are de facto duopoly at this point when it comes to debit cards. Almost all banks use them, they are accepted pretty much everywhere in the world and work with all atm/pos machines. When it comes to card networks, they got it covered. There are alternative payment gateways that automate...

That same bundle is 61.95 euros ( or 99 CAD with current exchange rate). For double PDF is expensive. Especially since most hardcovers are around 40e per book (with free shipping from German Amazon). When it comes to PDFs, i'm ok paying like 50% of hardcover price.

Usually none. Most of people i played with aren't willing to commit to more than one weekly game. Even when they do, life get's in the way and in the end, they need to choose one game to stick regularly or they alternate no show sessions between campaigns for some time, then just pick one at the...

Depends on the seasson. Sure, it's not scalable for high volume products. But, at least in EU, there are payment gateways that are much less prone to outside pressures than Visa/MC (which are card networks/card processors, not pure payment processors), especially ones that are in Netherlands...

Direct bank transfers? It's PIA since without payment processing gateway, you need to enter info manually, but it can be done. We rent out house and all private bookings are direct bank payments from account to account, no 3rd parties.

Kids take lot of time. I love them, they are my pride and joy, but they drain energy. In 5 years, all the kids from the group will be at least elementary school, so, more time and energy. Unless wife changes her mind and we go for kiddo numero 3, and friends wife changes her mind and they go for...

It would be way more easy and cost effective to sell it online. Unfortunately, Ebay isn't really a thing here for buying/selling used stuff and with postage prices, sending it cross border to another EU country costs 8-12e, so it's not worth it. It's just cheaper for me and the buyer to hop in...

Thing that helps immensly is people having stable life schedule, enough free time on consistent basis and playing game being high on their hobby priority list. Back in college, one semester we played Tuesday mornings (10-14). It just happened that we all had only late afternoon lectures that...
