Planning on backing Shadowdark version too. Looks great.

Creating characters, roleplaying them and flinging them headlong into trouble to see what happens.

@Campbell, we enjoyed playing Brindlewood Bay and curious about The Between. How is it?

I'm running Old Gods of Appalachia from Monte Cook Games and alternating it with Black Sword Hack. I'm playing in a Shadowdark campaign that my husband is running. We play in person and fairly regularly. It's the same group of people and just 4 of us in total. We're old and retired or...

Ahh. My first experience was 2nd. The bestiary and Fae book for the game were so good.

I get that games like Nobilis can be hard to actually play at the table. But Ars Magica? Isn't that more of a taste thing? I would never link ham-fisted with Ars Magica. It's brilliant and entirely playable. 😁 Thanks for heads up on The Far Roofs. I'll definitely check it out. We have the fancy...

Posters with concerns about fear tokens have actually played, so this feels like an area that could use some tinkering. Has anyone, who is playtesting, run into the problem of players not taking turns because other players have more combatant characters?

Let's assume the glasses are being worn to correct vision. How could the wizard get her eyes fixed magically? Maybe Heal but that's a 6th level divine spell, and I'm not sure blurry vision would count as a disease. Even if Heal would work, I'm not sure a deity would be willing to channel that...

I agree and have been feeling the same. The accusations are strange.

This is a cynical take that does not line up with Bob World Builder at all.

Bob's was released before it closed. He was just curious because it seemed unlikely that WotC's would get released. If it did, it'd be interesting to see if results were similar. It's just for fun. That's all there is. No pot stirring or trying to "get WotC." No toxic, see how much WotC is...

I have different moods. We are playing Black Sword Hack right now and Old Gods of Appalachia. I also love all the choices in Level Up. Just want all the games...

Bob has 0 toxicity. He's always cheerful, friendly and enthusiastic. He's criticised WotC occasionally, but nothing toxic. Bob and Ginny are at the top of my list as examples of positivity on the net.

Yeah. Starting to believe it's proof that we do slip into alternate dimensions. Or maybe it's the singing and soya sauce maps.

My fuzzy owl bear dice bag is the only D&D merch I own but I'm very fond of it.

Yep. We don't know any past consultants' contributions. We often don't even notice they were there. Tiny line on copyright page. Their voice will not affect the direction of game.

Our kids are grown. I've had a good job for many years. I buy lots of rpg books because I love having them, reading them and playing... some of them. 😁 I certainly do not want companies to stop churning out games or new editions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with spending money on your...

Once again, Bob negative? I'm not at all seeing this version of Bob. And the survey has spread to other sites. Bob shared his answers to the WotC survey and it wasn't negative. Even Professor DM's shared response was positive and neutral. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm not predicting a...

WotC had message boards back then. There were a lot of play testers on them. The designers never came out and said that the sorcerer was rejected. They said, if I remember correctly, that we were unhappy with the class being OP. Then we didn't see the sorcerer for a while, then we got a 3e...

The Next sorcerer was criticised for being over powered but the design seemed to go over very well. Most of us asked for the team to tone it down but PlEASE keep the idea. I remember the large backlash when it got scrapped in favour of a 3e version. Still stings. 😕
