Waiting on my day to wrap, I get an article suggestion for affordable mountain living. Read through it 'this is all a lie'. Check the comments, everyone questions the prices for rents. Its out by hundreds a month, not even close. Sigh.

I often wonder. "Who designed the human rotator cuff, this is an abomination." Followed by "Why do my knees hurt all the time."

What was released that would fall under D&D for the quarter? Just Delves?

When I think about my old Muay Thai sessions, I kind of shudder.

Yeah, see this is interesting. I dont want to get into the weeds too much but I have played with far too many people who would take exception to all this mechanic/design in a serious way. Like they would simply nope right out at the first 'fail AND FEAR?!' and leave the game.

Exactly. And I can absolutely see from a psychological point of view, where even a success, with fear (I think thats a thing right?) would actually feel like a punishment. An interesting square to circle for folks who take this as their main game I think.

Yeah, I have not played DH, likely will not, but I'm reading through things and just wanted to point out the obvious, that in a game of dice, swings can and will happen, and people do not remember passing the roll/test/check by 2 or 3 or 5 all night long, but they remember the fails, and crits...

-- You see, the mistake is in trying to associate it with reality, when it is not.

100% Oh a full game for $50? Try a single character model for a GW game. The price point is more than fine imo.

-- Wrapped a number of calls, emails, chats this morning, the core takeaway?

There are many different demographics and thoughts on this. $100 for a full game and boxed set? GW has a message for you.

I'm sure its going to work out really well when these people need to enter the actual work force and deal with people face to face.

Mathematically this may be true. IS true. However thats over N dice rolls, where N is a very large number. How many rolls* are being made in an encounter, a session? Swings absolutely will happen.

Yep.

I had asked for this in the Shadowdark thread, I've been working on one on the side here but I'll check these options out.
