That's cool. I hate miniature war games that are "gamey", they don't really force you to make sound tactical decisions that represent combat in the period of interest, its more about knowing when to flip the gamer card or activate the special powers. Part of why I love Chain of Command over...

There were times when I was at GC that I could have mosied over and taken a look at the HSD. But not for a full badge price. Edit - just saw it was 5 bucks to get in

Yeah at this point I've been packed in tight in so many crowds at metal festivals, casinos, airplanes, that I'm just going about life and the lack of a mask mandate would make me more likely to go. But this "Con" seems more like a game store game day or something. Is this more of an event...

I don't care bout the vaccine stuff but has Ernie been kicked out of GaryCon? I don't follow any of the drama.

I didn't know that. Their two local brick and mortar stores are pretty good and host a lot of card, war, and rpg games.

We were playing it a few years ago after not having picked it up in 20 years or more. It took us one gun fight to get back into the mindset of, don't get into random gun fights, don't get into gun fights where you haven't given yourself as much of an "unfair" advantage as you can. Opening...

This review gives me more hope than earlier snippets I had read about this edition. A fan of the 1e game and we have a campaign on hold that we have been meaning to get back into eventually. I worried that the game would be more action movie than "real war". In 1e getting shot sucked and I...

Probably playing more computer games but working in IT has killed a lot of that desire in me. I doubt I would have gotten into mini painting without gaming so that would be gone. I'd probably have already gotten into reloading and spending more time at the range. Read more novels.

I'm just a "neutral" arbiter of the rules. Honest. So I do what I can to let the dice and player foolishness decide their fates. Last session the same player died twice via trap. Disintegrated the second time. He rolled up a new L1 PC who washed up on the shore of the island they are on...

Going to continue to hone this "Tomb of Slightly Less Horror than the full Tomb of Horrors" thing I have going. The 1/2 Druid/Thief was killed twice last session. Once on a door leading into the heart of the complex, a death effect trap got him. He rolled a 2 on his save. But the Cleric was...

A small site adventure that will be an old lair of Acererak before he headed off to the East and became a lich. So it will give clues and bits and pieces to where the Tomb of Horrors is and some other artifacts that could put the party up against some Greyhawk death knights as well. Oh and...

Totally agree. Not all but many, and I think I see it especially with smaller games.

Some game books seem like they are written to be read more than played. I'm function first so I prefer them to lean more towards being clear and concise without a lot of clutter. Enough lore and background to support the scenario but as I will doubtlessly throw out a lot of it its not a big...

Very nice!

Thanks, and it turned out pretty good the more I look at it. The staff is bent though and it will surely break off if I mess with it too much.

I had lost a lot of interest in painting over the past several months and pretty much did nothing . So I painted this guy to start getting the juices flowing again. Not great but knocking off the rust. Not great at photos.

Quite honestly that content warning seems like its a parody.

Dividing up the dragon hoard.

Okay. I'm not sure I compared it to 3e, or 4e which I have no experience with. So I'm not sure why you are trying to argue this. IME crits in 5e is not a good system, and I guess that would apply to 3e as well though it has been years since I played it and far longer since I ran it. 4e I...
