Here's the thing I've never understood about weapon upkeep in TTRPGs: You've got a long sword. The long sword must be kept sharp. You have a whetstone. You must sharpen the sword with the whetstone. So what exactly is the act of sharpening the weapon supposed to be in the game? Are you the...

The few that I've seen were unfortunately older drivers who I'm imagining got very confused or worse.

Also have to give a shoutout to The Drow of the Underdark. Drow PCs were understandably all the rage in the early 90s thanks to the popularity of Drizzt, and this book definitely delivered as far as supplementing the novels themselves and giving players additional options for building Drow...

This is one of the reasons I liked the 2e Van Richten’s Guides which applied the same idea to the horror themed monsters: unique vampires, mummies, ghosts, lycanthropes and the like.

I think it also falls into the area of “why isn’t an rpg of a popular license the most popular game in the market, like Marvel or Star Wars?” etc. Sometimes the translation of one thing into another doesn’t produce the same effect. Magic as an RPG may sound like a natural fit but it’s probably...

I don’t get it - that dude genuinely seems like he hates anyone responding to him.

I’ve realized that I don’t have the breadth of knowledge and play experience across systems to be able to declare anything as modern or regressive if it doesn’t fall within the extremely narrow constraints of D&D. I’d likely rattle off something that’s new to me, and find out that some other...

I’m totally good with this. Several stores in my area went with virtually all self check and only one or two manned checkout lines. The computers are always annoyingly aggressive about how they function and there’s not enough room if you have a larger cart of groceries. It feels like a way of...

He turned on those cops pretty quick and took them out which kind of told me that this was a guy actively trying to make his world better even though he probably passed as “one of them”.

So Other Dad turned out to actually be the Dad Chris always wanted despite the world he lived in. 😢 And man, I felt soooo bad for Chris at the end of this last episode.

There is an ignore prefix section in preferences but those seem to be mainly around games and systems though some on them I’ve never seen come up in the forums at all. But those must be more top level items in the forum list than a Spoiler tag. I get that there are AI threads that are about the...

I think this is a great idea.

I feel like Stoicism has been co-opted by a bunch of tech bros who used to be really into biohacking and found something new to be excited about.

The first grey box set. Waterdeep and the North (1e) Savage Frontier (1e) These formed the core of our first FR campaign way back when and they are still fantastic resources. The maps are absolutely massive!
