    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Just a reminder that no matter your skill, just slapping on a coat of paint makes you model look better. Dont worry about perfection. Just slap some colors on that bad boy.

    RPG systems frozen in time

    I remember the Dead Sea Scrolls being big news in the 1990s when they were using new imagery techology to examin them. The thing about the scrolls is there are millions and millions of people interested in them for both religious and historical reasons. Most people, even experts in the occult...

    Yes, 'The Algorithm' REALLY IS Like That

    Do we have people under 40?

    RPG systems frozen in time

    When I run Cyberpunk 2020, and it's been more than 10 years at this point, I run it in the year 2020 as it was imagined way back in the 1980s. There are still newspapers in the form of screamsheets, there's no social media, the Soviet Union is still around, etc., etc.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    It is a lot of flash. Even with plastic glue, getting that left foot on was a big pain.

    Yes, 'The Algorithm' REALLY IS Like That

    I was specifically referring to preventing organizations from having social media accounts as likely being unconstitutional. We have a fundamental right to form organizations and communicate through those organizations here in the US. Children also have rights here in the United States...

    Yes, 'The Algorithm' REALLY IS Like That

    Here in the United States there's no way this wouldn't be a violation of our 1st Amendment rights. Prior to Facebook, my gaming club had a social media account used to advertise our presence and schedule events. Tom Anderson was even our friend.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    This goblin rider for Malifaux represents what I hate in assembly. Just look at that tiny ankle and food. What a pain to assemble.

    RPG Evolution: The Phantom Party

    What I'm getting from this thread is confirmation that a lot of gamers are flakey.

    Horror general thread [+]

    I finally saw Sinners today. It was a pretty good movie, but I thought the last third was a bit weak, though overall the movie is saved by the strong performance of the entire cast. Kind of reminds of of From Dusk Till Dawn which felt like it switched genres right in the middle.

    Why I Hate Skills

    In the old Palladium games, you were supposed to get 25 experience points for using a skill. So we'd jokingly have our characters roll Acrobatics while strolling through the library. Of course the fine folks at Palladium told GMs to use their best judgment and avoid awarding experience points...

    D&D General Are you content with what you have in DnD regarding physical/digital material?

    Overall I find myself somewhat dissatisfied with D&D 5E content. I'm (mostly) fine with the core rulebooks, but since 2014, I haven't really found myself inclined to purchase many of the books WotC have released. I'd like to describe myself as content in that I'm not inclined to get more, but...
