    Pathfinder 1E Are there compelling reasons to upgrade to PF1 from 3.0?

    A rising tide floats all boats. With how popular D&D has been over the past few years it would be surprising if PF2e wasn't benefiting from that. Edit: I've been leaning more towards Starfinder myself these past few years, so I suppose I'd be one that is making SF be a little higher in the...

    Trailer Star Wars Outlaws: Official Story Trailer

    I have to admit I didn't know about any of this. I don't really follow GOG on social media I suppose, thus not knowing any of this even happened. I am just on it to get games and play them. I LOVE being able to play offline (I travel a lot, so having to connect up to Steam while I am...

    What if you swam in a nuclear storage pool?

    If I remember, radiation poisoning itself is not contagious. Whether you can GET radiation poisoning from someone else who is suffering from radiation poisoning is a different matter. It depends on how much radiation is still on the person. If they've been completely scrubbed and none of...

    Trailer Star Wars Outlaws: Official Story Trailer

    Another good reason to buy from GOG. Even if they lose the license and download, you can always have a backup of offline installers so you can never totally lose your game...even if the publishers strip it off of the internet. Not that the CREW was ever available on GOG. GOG is probably the...

    Total eclipse 2024 plans?

    So, we went, and then afterwards...Slidell happened. It was crazier after the eclipse than prior in travel. I got to see the totality though. Weather man predicted that we'd have thunderstorms that day rather than the next two, but we still got to see it. It was somewhat cloudy, but the...

    Has anyone else seen The creator?

    I liked it. As for the satellite at the top of the atmosphere vs. the one that is used in raids, I think the one used in raids is actually a smaller version which uses the information from the main one to target things.

    Disney Buys DC: Who Joins The MCU?

    I don't really think I'd like to see a combined DC/Marvel Universe. If they were to combine a DC heroes thing, let it be something like one of the various DC multiverses, which are not the primary universe.

    D&D General From now on in my games, Black Dragons and Dragon Turtles are the same species.

    Snappers will bite your finger off if you let them...or even if you don't let them but are careless.

    WotC Who should be the next President of WotC?

    Well it seems like Gaga and Sweeney are very popular choices...but I'm not leaning that way myself for someone to take over the reins of being President. At least Sweeney is somewhat of a gamer...on consoles at least.

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    It was HER resignation. For something quick it could be seeing that this year is a shaky year and may or may not match up to next year for various reasons. It could be something more personal, perhaps she has news of cancer after her last screening and both she needs time to deal with it and...

    Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 | Official Clip 'Fighting The Sentinels'

    Well, I'm on the older side myself these days and if I were single, I couldn't imagine ever dating anyone below the age of 40 and possibly below the age of 50. The maturity gap and life experiences are just so vastly different, even at those ages. A difference of a couple hundred years is...

    ICv2 Reports Disappointing Year For Hobby Games Channel: TTRPGs Down, D&D Declines 30%

    Very late in the thread to respond to this, BUT.... I think it is too early to say anything like that. There is ALWAYS a drop in sales of the current edition when it is known another version or edition is coming out, at least for the past 20 years. 3e sales dropped like a rock (and left a...

    D&D General The rise and fall of D&D in Japan

    I sort of feel that Square Enix has done the opposite with FF. They are catering far more to a Western audience these days than a Japanese one. I think the latest FF (FFXVI) was actually spoken first in English and had to be translated back to Japanese (that's just what I have heard).

    D&D General The rise and fall of D&D in Japan

    I love smaller paperback books as RPGs. It's one of the BIG reasons I have the 4e Essentials as one of my travel RPGs I go around with. I also have several others in that same vein (Gamma World was broken down out of the box into it's books and cards, Runequest, Starship Troopers, C&C, Paizo...

    Total eclipse 2024 plans?

    I'll be meeting a friend in Tampa and then we'll start a drive to Texas in the Dallas Area to watch the eclipse. Long drive (18 hours or thereabouts) just to see this, but considering the next full eclipse in the United states is not for another 20 years...I think I'll do the drive. Just...

    D&D General The rise and fall of D&D in Japan

    I am a POC, but not Japanese myself. I play RPGs with a bunch of Japanese gamers (one of the groups I game with, but it's sporadic and only around once a month at most when we meet, normally it's online these days) who voice their opinions on various RPGs if that counts at all, but of course...

    D&D General The rise and fall of D&D in Japan

    An opinionated take on the matter. I feel many Japanese are more traditional than not. This indicates, in gaming at least, that they prefer rules to stay close to what they feel the rules should be. Thus, as the D&D that they first knew was TSR's D&D and AD&D, when rules differentiate from...

    Spoilers So, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire? [spoiler thread]

    Salvation wasn't awful to me, just boring. Genysis was actually fun and interesting. More enjoyable to me than #3, but FAR less than 1 and 2. Dark Fate was just...I don't know why they did it. They took what was good and fun about #2 and the payoff at the end and just...tried to destroy it...

    RPG Evolution: Hasbro's AI Plans

    Overall, from what you've described is missing in AI (From what I understand, it lacks the ability to seek it's own motivations or branch into new areas that are not defined by it's creators in increasing it's abilities and learning new skills on it's own), it's consciousness. The consciousness...

    Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 | Official Clip 'Fighting The Sentinels'

    You know something...we get wierded out when old men perv on younger woman. An age gap of a 50 year old guy hitting on a 20 year old woman is kind of yucky. Yet, for some reason comic book writers at Marvel think it's okay for someone over 200 years to hit on an 18 year old (though with the...
