    Pathfinder Online Layoffs; Ryan Dancey Leaves Company

    This goes to the top of Paizo as far as it being an ill conceived idea. A completely new game is risky even for giants like Sony. And as stated this is an extremely full market...MMO's are everywhere!

    D&D 5E Fantasy Grounds for home games

    I used the Ultimate subscription for about two months before purchasing the $150 license. By then I realized that FG was the VTT for me.

    Anyone seen ANT-MAN?

    Saw it...and really liked it. Its certainly more light-hearted than previous Marvel films. I was surprised how large a part Michael Douglas (Henry Pym) had in the film. Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) does a good job but Evangeline Lilly as (spoiler alert for Marvel geeks) "Hope" is excellent. Worth seeing!

    Post-Apocalyptic 'Mad-Max', which game to use?

    Sorry...with Fast, Furious, Fun as its motto, I think Savage Worlds is perfect for a Mad Max style of game. Its Chase mechanics would flow nicely with running battle scenes from the movies.

    Terminator: Genisys (spoilerrific trailer, ye have been worn)

    Definitely not for young children...total brain loss on those parents. I enjoyed the movie and felt it moved back to the original story line very well. I was impressed how well an aging Arnold fit into this movie. Terminator movies are not fine art...but for me this was an entertaining movie and...

    Politics -- do you have a favored side?

    I am astonished at your comments! They reflect very closely how I feel on the topic. I vote for the person I feel will make the best president. It may be an oxymoron but I lean toward the person I "feel" is being honest and acting with integrity. I suspect all candidates have to bend their own...

    D&D 5E After grabbing a ledge and climbing up, are you also then standing from prone?

    Agreed...sometimes you need to drop the mechanics for story flow. If a bad guy is waiting for you at the top then its more relevant that mechanics come into play.

    D&D 5E Variable Short and Long rests

    I can't wrap my head around a long rest being anything less than 6-10 hours. I understand we are playing a game of Fantasy but it has to be based on some physical truths. Unless some type of magic is being used, characters could not go without long periods of rest without incurring fatigue or...

    Any idea about what's happening at the Obsidian Portal?

    I've noticed the slow response of the website doing anything. We actually thought it was down the other night it was so slow. Eventually it responded...but somethings definitely not right. Like no ones at the helm...

    D&D 5E Attacking with a warhorse

    I believe a mount such as a warhorse is trained to work in concert with its rider. It understands simple commands or gestures from its master and should act on the riders initiative. In essence its attacks become an extension of the rider. Although I haven't researched the rules on this I think...

    D&D 5E Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    I think if my casters start using cantrips for things like intermittent torches I would start hinting around "a feeling of fatigue" that could start to affect them when they really need all of their mental faculties...

    D&D 5E Looking for good starter adventure

    Sunless Citadel was a very good intro. Everyone remembers the Kobold Meepo :-)

    NetFlix's DareDevil - Your thoughts?

    Excellent series. My only complaint is having to wait for the next season of episodes. My wife really hated the fact that he got the hell beat out of him most episodes...but she can't wait either :-)
