Reynard's latest activity

I bet @dave2008 and @Micah Sweet could move that Hasbro discussion someplace else with the mere click of a few buttons.

People don't often think of them this way, but TTRPGs are a remarkably intimate form of play. Even when playing casually, you are...

Yeah, well the X-card idea was first published in 2013, iirc. The breakthrough there may have been less the X-card itself, and more...

I think that would be dishonest because they did not ever intend for it to be a modular design. It was a discussion and a hope at one...
