Have you run around kicking a ball for no reason with other people? It's actually a lot of fun. So is throwing a frisbee, going for a jog, playing catch, riding a bike... many people do these activities with others without any competition for fun.

They'll all be on a Zoom call at the beginning of the movie and then the rest of the story just follows Ant Man trying to set up the perfect birthday party for his daughter and accidentally foiling the plans of Doom over and over again. (At least it would in my perfect movie!)

Competition is fun! But I don't think anyone is calling for the end of competition. But it's good to have a mix of opportunities for people and kids who want to participate in organized kinesthetic activities. It's a little surprising to see so much argument for having all games be competitive...

Is it really so difficult to think of reasons people would want to just "run around?" Exercise, building skills, building team work, social connections, enjoying the outdoors, fun... These are all reasons why someone would play a game without keeping score. I'm in a beginners-only adult soccer...

Oh man, this genre hits me just right. This is the kind of game I would love to play.

Okay I'll admit I haven't read the OP, but I wildly disagree with the premise of this thread. The assumptions made by the poster reveal their ideas about the topic are based entirely in slippery slope sealion strawman goalpost moving. The only thing they got right was what they said about the...

One thing I really like is how you can spend Trophy points to do things like change another user's avatar, choose the new color theme of EN World, or commission Snarf to write an article of your choice.

I get bored as a player, too. Some of the things I do to stay engaged and not be disruptive are: Take notes or draw maps for the group Track initiative Draw pictures of memorable events or NPCs I will also choose to play a character who doesn't excel at combat so that I'm forced to figure out...

What about cheering for the creators, artists, and writers who should be recognized and compensated for their work?

I'm no legal expert, but taking things without paying for them (or their license) in order to turn around and profit off of them seems to be, quite literally, the definition of piracy? I think even Long John Silver and Captain Hook would agree.

EN World is the place I probably visit the most online. It's become my only form of social media as I've left (or never joined) everything else. It's also my main way of "participating" in D&D as a hobby, since I don't have an active group right now. That said, I used to post a lot more...

Is there any reason why you can't just give them the info on the artifact and move on?

This is why I often just write down a series of truths I want the characters to discover instead of coming up with exact clues. Then no matter which direction they go in I can place those truths. Let's say the characters are investigating the death of a powerful merchant lord. I might write a...

Combo of Work / Family. My wife is an epidemiologist who got deployed to fight measles in Texas, so now I'm on solo dad duty until she gets back!

I created this one a while back: Lingering Injuries Feel free to scavenge it for ideas!

I think a little perspective is warranted here. The article you linked to was posted a month ago. Wargamer seems to produce a lot of articles each day. Two days ago they posted 12 articles in a single day. The author of that article has published 25 articles on Wargamer in the last week. With...

One thing this video doesn't mention is that eventually a group with too many players will split and swarm, with a majority of the newer players buzzing away to find a new table to occupy. Once they do so, one of the players eats from the Royal Cheetos and transforms into a queen bee new DM...

Oof, that's rough.

There's been a lot of fantasy lit between Conan and now that's had, in my view, a big influence on RPGs: Harry Potter brought the idea of wizards to a new public understanding. Hunger Games made archery cool. Percy Jackson taught a whole generation about Greek mythology. Romantasy is a...

Do you have evidence to back this up? I'm not doubting you on it, but it's a pretty strong opinion posted without any data.
