I'm well aware that my interest has zero correlation to your own, but I appreciate the lesson. My issue, if it can even be called that, is that when I hear of this award, I hear how prestigious it is. That's pretty much it. And I never disputed that it was newsworthy. What I dispute is the...

Whose history are we trusting in, though? How can I trust in the history of a secretive cabal when I can't even identify a single member of the cabal? I guess someone was at UK TSR to witness the burning and salvage the burnt copy? I see prestigious attached to the Diana Jones award...

Thank you for the explanation. My perception is that the paizo types are going to be those who are going to be the ones getting into starfinder. I've done the FFG star wars too, and while I like the system, I do not really care for the setting. And a lot of the concepts are very gamey and...

If you don't mind me asking, why use starfinder at all then? Nothing I've seen in any of the world building done by Paizo has impressed me, and it in general seems to be favored for its breadth of material more than the quality of that material. And the rules are very arguably even worse (not...

The art in the book, the layout, the typesetting, the flawless editing, all of these things could be world class and breaking new ground in RPG design. And having a cop out gap would still be lazy. The book having a particular characteristic has nothing to do with another, unrelated...

I don't want to be That Guy, but paying full MSRP is not a markup. It isn't really paying a premium, either. Other retailers discounting a book does not make a full MSRP book marked up.

What exactly is so horrible that it can't be reproduced in polite society? Page numbers, please. I wouldn't want any innocence being ruined by quotations. I read most of the playtest rules. I ignored the scenario booklet. The only thing is the play test was something about one sided affection...

Can someone be extremely specific with what is objectionable here? Chapter and verse? I'm asking for a page number. I looked over the document and did a search, the worst I saw was "one sided intimacy" which could be rape, if one is being uncharitable. Perhaps what I see is a revision, or...

My question was more of a rhetorical one. NPC's, such as a certain wizard, are obviously the best choice in raw mechanical terms. But this is a roleplaying game. A character/player could take a liking to one of the possible NPC's, and their story can then become more important than anything...

It's fun to draw cards from a deck and make cryptic statements about them. Anything beyond that, for me as a GM, is icing. Also, how is the maximum impact determined? One perfect ally for one group is next to useless for another. For example, consider a particular magic user that needs greater...

These brands you mentioned are all very good. I use three interchangeably--GW, Reaper, and Vallejo. I use previous copyright name GW with post copyright name GW. Vallejo gets grief for separating, but this paint also lasts for a very long time. I have some that I still use that I bought in 2004...

I've seen those. I was hoping to see Giant spider, x5. Wolf, x9. Worg, x3. Bog standard MM creatures. That is, a list of them.

Could someone list out what creatures are in the module? With how many present? Pretty please? I need to buy some miniatures...

The Governor is not a local politician. I hope at some point, the various gaming communities can get back to gaming and resolve all of these social issues. I'm not saying it's OK to do this sort of thing (because it isn't) but stuff like this is a distraction to what brings all of us together...

D&D5 is inclusive, and it doesn't pat itself on the back about it. The more we treat these things as normal, the more normal they become. Just like chainmail bikinis. If we come to accept them, they become acceptable -- if we made a big deal about it, it becomes aberrant and stands out for...
