This is also a biggie for us. As I mentioned earlier, our Level 6 campaign has taken close to a calendar year. We try to play weekly, but with schedules, that has worked out to about 25 sessions so far. At this point, the story we're telling is coming to a satisfying end point. And I'm...

Coincidentally, I’m just a few weeks from wrapping up a campaign, and the characters are 6th level. It has nothing to do with the rules, and more that we’ve been playing for almost exactly a year, and I’m starting to burn out as a DM, and need a break. Of course, I levelled them slower than...

? He swam through a river of anti-protons while still suffering from kryptonite poisoning. He tanked Kaiju fire breath to save a building. He lived through being stomped by said kaiju, to save a dog. Not to mention the above-posted photo of him bodyblocking a truck load of exploding canisters...

I think too much is being made out of Martha's lack of tech savvy. I have relatives who are exactly the same with smart phones, and no one is accusing them of being bumpkins. That I know of...heh.

Not to mention, that I've seen a fair few comments from people who thought the movie was too busy (even though they liked it). Adding a scenes where Lex was flumoxxed trying to find Clark Kent would have been amusing, but would have padded the run time.

Yeah, looks that way. I sat there for a minute trying to sort it out :)

I’d have to agree. With the way aspects are used in Fate, it’s pretty much covered by spending Hope to help another player. Or even Tag team. (Note: I haven’t had a chance to bring this to the table yet…so this is based on read through only).

Ah, I didn’t realize he wasn’t alone on the ship. That makes slightly more sense. Slightly. :)

Heh. Well, at least in Armageddon, you could squint and have it make sense. If you buy the premise that drilling was more art than science, and all they had to do was basically learn to put on a spacesuit. I don’t know any more about this one than what they showed in the trailer, but I have a...

I don’t know…I see players trying to ‘min max’ the fear situation by doing nothing is a non-issue. Well, it is an issue, sort of, but it’s the exact same issue as “the players refuse to leave the safety of the tavern”. If they’re not going to engage with the adventure, that’s an out of game...

Wait, tickets are already on sale? Isn’t this coming out end of July? That’s got to be a record, isn’t it? Are they trying to generate desperate FOMO?

Agreed! As handy as it is to have an entire internet full of gaming material at my beck and call, there was something magical about having a new Dragon magazine show up in my mailbox every month.

That’s awesome news. Lack of VTT support is the one thing holding me back right now. While I’d love to play face to face with this, it’s a geographical impossibility with my group. I don’t even need a premium module…just a rules framework and character sheets (as a minimum) would do. Of...

Enjoyed it right up to the very last episode. Wherein, in desperation to get a second season, they turned the protagonist into a complete moron. I mean, I get he was always supposed to be a flawed character, but how the hell (heh) did his reasoning work here? (Keeping it purposely vague to...

Canadian, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard ‘you arrive to’. ‘Travel to’, ‘arrive at’. Although now I think about it, I might say “you get to Coruscant’. But definitely never ‘arrive to’.
