Well if you don't mind text based gaming you can have that already. If you want full voice, that would take more work to set up. But you can configure ChatGPT to create multiple players with different personalities and then run them through a game. My test has mostly been being a player where...

I used to enjoy reading Autumnal's posts, until his writing took on a vernal energy that belied the tone suggested by his username.

Yeah, that's how I feel about the Lakers. I wasn't even born when they left the Land of Lakes but kept the name. It still bothers me.

I wonder if that is changing. Neither of my sons or any of their friends are into Star Wars. At all. One is 18 and the other is 15. They are into anime, D&D, Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Altered and other geeky thing. None are interested in Star Wars. They know of it because their parents made...

I bought several expensive coffee‑table books and I'm still glad they mixed this in. I've never been a fan of a strictly utilitarian approach to the printed books. I also like that they are taking a risk with a different approach with this book. There are so few books beyond the core books that...

I can understand that. But I love this. This is what gets me to still put out $50 for the physical book. I love books that mix lore, history, and adventure or crunch. Volos remains my favorite 2014 book.

Yeah, if the players agreed to a certain type of game and then refuse to interact with it, I'd just say, "sorry, I apparently misunderstood our discussions and what you wanted out of the game. This is all that I have prepared. Let's discuss want kinda of campaign folks are interested in and who...

Blast from the past. I remember watching this to get a sense of how the game played.

I'm still keeping my three books. I like the 2024 books as they solve some the issues I had with the 2014 corebooks. That said, I totally agree with you on DCC Dying Earth...though that's still on the backburner as I'm running WFRP4e currently.

No. When I got back into the hobby and my kids were still young, the first TTRPG I ran for them was Hero Kids. The main fun of hero kids was the craft aspect of it. Cutting out and gluing the standee miniatures, cutting out the geomorphs and making a cave system, etc. The rules didn't do much...

Well, I learned something new today. Looked it up. Now I'll need to re‑watch Atomic Blond and Blade Runner 2049 with that in mind.

Exactly this. Is this attitude more common with niche hobbies or just a natural reaction to getting older. I'm trying to be self-aware, but I don't recognize this attitude in myself. I enjoy a lot of the new stuff and still have access to and enjoy playing the old stuff that made me fall in love...

Huh? Um, do I even want to know?
