"...the geekiest holiday of all...?" Geekier than Pi Day? Geekier than Star Wars Day? Geekier than Talk Like a Pirate Day?

What do you think it means, psychologically, that I read this solely out of curiosity about sentient Twinkies?

I don't regard the magic system as a major innovation, although it is a nice synthesis of the pre-4E system with the better ideas from 4E.

I'm not particularly emotionally attached to old school, new school, or schools of anchovies for that matter. Old school was enough fun to pull me in back in the Middle Pleistocene, but there are a lot of more recent trends that I enjoy too.

I went with advantage/disadvantage, backgrounds, and simplicity. If class options/archetypes had been on the list, I would have chosen that over advantage/disadvantage (which for me is really a function of simplicity). With the class archetypes and backgrounds, I'm still debating with myself...

Believing that it's funny doesn't mean it isn't a stereotype. Relax and try common courtesy on for size.

If, as WotC has stated, the objective of the Basic Rules is to make D&D accessible to the greatest possible number of potential players, it really makes no sense at all to marginalize non-native-English speakers. Do we know that the buck (literally) stops with WotC, or is the problem here coming...

If you're going to be so pedantically literal-minded, then please, please, please stay far away from the sacred texts of any and all religions.

I'm sure someone can say that, but they miss what I think are the two big selling points for tabletop: real social contact and options unlimited by software. There's a real, true middle ground here.

There's a very viable niche for gamers who prefer tabletop but aren't able to schedule in-person sessions. A VTT also has some value during a plain old tabletop session.

Considering that... All earlier attempts at a D&D movie have resembled a vampire (first they bit and then they sucked), and that... Fantasy movies on the whole have a long history of significant sucktitude... I think you stand a better than even chance of seeing that wish come true.

"Ready-made character sheets for [...] Strax." And that was the exact moment I spent thirty dollars I didn't have.

This doesn't surprise me. After all, the Statue of Liberty is a weeping angel....

That is not the likeliest conclusion one would draw from the way the statement is phrased. Jeez, dude!

Not quite "new" - a Pathfinder version has been available for some time. In general, the Midgard stuff is worth the money, though.

I found no suspicious transactions on either of the two accounts I've used on DriveThru in the last month or so, but I cancelled both debit cards as a precaution. I don't see a lot of alternative for avoiding this kind of thing except to not save card information in the future. Inconvenient, but...

May God have mercy on our souls...no, not Bhaal! I mean that other guy.

Nothing strange about it. So far, the great majority of Midgard material has been Pathfinder-based, with a few appendices and supplements for 4E and 13th Age. This is the first 5E supplement of any kind, and it's entirely predictable that it would come in this form. I'm just glad to see 5E...

Well, I set up a 30-day trial just to check it out, and so far I like what I see. Nice, simple, elegant but versatile design. This would also be cheaper as a monthly subscription, but I want to play with it a little more.
