I started a conscious effort to stop doomscrolling on social media and it's amazing to me: 1. How much you still are able to keep up with the important news. 2. How stupid the little stuff starts to sound if and when you do become aware of it. 3. How many people I followed for one particular...

What is it with working out after the holidays, and trying to cut some weight that your body does that whole "Oh, wait! You're starving! We need to hold on to every bit of weight possible." Me: "No, you doofus. We ate too damn much over the past month, and now you don't know what's normal...

Exactly. They were really riding high on a wave of goodwill going into those movies.

I dunno...these trailers are good and all but at the end of the day they've got to pull all these individual strands into a pair of cohesive movies. It's not that they can't do it - we've seen Infinity War, Endgame and Deadpool and Wolverine but they've also added a lot of dead weight and...

I would say that you are going with your gut instinct right now, and for a first run through a new system, just go with that. You can always change things the next time around, and get feedback from your players, but if your first test drive of a new system is a successful 20 session...

I think that dude should just blog. He’s obviously pissy with anyone who actually responds to his posts.

Funny how people can come into threads foot-stomping their particular issue hard but get aggrieved when someone else points out issues with their positions. THEN it’s all “Hey, I’m just playing a game, man.”

This. I don’t see this as a bad thing, or a statement on the current edition either.

I’ve had this work before and it comes down to variables like level of engagement, which usually means one or two players who are highly motivated and invested end up directing the whole shebang and what else is going on in people’s lives. Not coincidentally, this worked great when I was a...

Yeah, I’ll be interested in hearing this too. My take on MCDM’s philosophy is they are definitely going to put something out there that: A. Has an opinion about what it is and isn’t. B. Isn’t going to create a copycat of other games that already fill that space well. Based on that, I think...

lol, everyone’s posts would start looking like a Tetrasodium post at that point.

The cream still rises to the top, and the people who make it to the top positions still have to pay their dues. There may be a glut of junk out there on DMsGuild but self-publishing an AI generated turd isn’t going to be enough to get someone a top designer job. That still takes work and...

Dr. Robby’s Bad Day Continues (starting with dude is not wearing a helmet on his motorcycle)

First, they have given a more detailed idea of the concept and it was discussed later in the thread. Second, it’s a Bluesky post that formed the basis for the OP’s post, not a full article. Just because he didn’t have all the info available when he made the thread doesn’t mean it wasn’t out there.

We’ve got a group that have been playing together for several years now. First, we don’t tend to have a problem with this. We all talk via Discord during the week and everyone keeps everyone up to date with their schedule. The DM’s standing rule is if two out of the five players are out, then we...
