    As a big fan of 'taurs, I have to give this both two hooves and two paws up. :)

    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    Didn't vote, as I haven't played with them yet (the 5e game I'm in at the moment is mid-stream of a long adventure), but thematically I'd much prefer these abilities were on the character rather than on a/the weapon. (Which would also avoid the potential for the golf bag shuffle.)

    Help me brainstorm a grounded military mecha campaign set in the year 2050

    Woohoo for getting bit by the BT bug once again! That's happened to me as well, though my opportunity to play has been mostly nonexistent. I did at least buy a proper case to store my minis, after housing them in a shoebox, with self-cut slabs of foam from some unknown source, for the past 30...

    We Should Be More Critical of Our Criticisms

    This is one of my most favourite things about many of the critics/media analysis people I follow regularly, where I may not agree with everything they are espousing or where their conclusions led them, but as they are doing it in a long-form show-me-your-work kind of way (some of them VERY long...

    We Should Be More Critical of Our Criticisms

    Hear hear! In my view, there is a distinction between an opinion, a review, and a critique. And while language and everyday parlance can be squishy, it's good to recognize and hold them separate. We don't always have to engage in each of them -- it's alright to just state your opinion if you...

    D&D General Wearing a lantern on your belt?

    That depends what and where they are mining... especially in a fantasy milieu. :D

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    Cortex Prime is one of my go-to generic systems to use for new campaigns (the other is one of my own devising). The rulebook is very much a toolbox and as such it can be a bit daunting to see how to put the pieces together to suit the style, tone, and thrust of the specific campaign together...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    Spoilerizing it both for those who wish to skip + for skirting off topic (Plus does a spoiler block make it feel more clandestine/spy-y? :P) Huh! I have TSL but I haven't had the time to fully dig into it. Lemme shuffle it closer to the top of the pile! Not sure either on which game that...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    This is what first came to my mind as well, support for both the Spy and the Superspy genres feels thin right now. Spycraft was the last big player in this space, I think. Top Secret NWO hasn't made a splash (and has a lot of design issues). Something that can cover Bond and Bourne and M:I as...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Gliding perilously close to off topic, but Paul's dealings with RL seems (from my personal dealings with NSG/CFE, both as a writer and as a consumer) not exactly well handled, so that jokes/view might not be fully clear-eyed...

    Optimization and optimizers...

    I enjoy playing tabletop tactical games. BattleTech, Renegade Legion, Car Wars, etc. I enjoy making units in those games, with spreadsheets and design tables. I also enjoy tactical map-based encounters in RPGs, whether D&D or otherwise. I enjoy making strong character concepts. I enjoy...
