    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I say it is possible to take 5E in the direction of GURPS and make a game that is more enjoyable (to some people) than either 5E or GURPS. And at that point, you can't just play GURPS instead, because it doesn't have the 5E elements that you brought into your hybrid game.

    Tolkien fanfic writer sues Tolkien estate over copyright

    What got me is that he's suing the Tolkien Estate. The Tolkien Estate. A group notorious for IP litigation. Dude, they have a bevy of lawyers ready and waiting for you. The only way this could have been worse is if he sued Disney for infringing on his Mickey Mouse fanfic.

    Yes, but advanced algorithms will make it better garbage.

    What RPGs Should Every Collection Have?

    I'm working on expanding my game collection, and I was wondering what people thought every RPG collection should have. So give me your lists (ranked please). Top 5, top 10, top 20, whatever. In a week or so, I will combine them to get one list. Here's my list: AD&D 1E Toon The Fantasy Trip D&D...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    Hey, people who don't play the way I do, explain to me why you play that way. I can't imagine anyone enjoying playing that way, so I need you to explain it to me.

    Lost My Love

    I don't know where she got it from, but my Zen teacher likes to say, "Fall down nine times, get up ten." You just gotta get back into the slog and try to reconnect with what you loved.

    so much for cutting the cord costing less in the US

    I think I may have a more radical version of cord cutting than most people. My streaming bill for the last month was $7.98 for watching two movies on Vudu. For year to date it's $47.88.

    Describe your last RPG session in more than 5 words.

    The previous session they had been fighting gnome cultists, almost to a TPK, but they retreated into a room and barricaded the door. They rested there, not realizing that the gnomes were down to a mage and a quaggoth and the reserve that was watching out for hobgoblins. The gnomes decided to...

    D&D General What’s your D&D New Year’s Resolution?

    I don't make New Year's Resolutions. They just seem like a way to punish yourself for failing later in the year. I am going to keep working on my main two D&D projects: Keep my Dungeon of the Mad Mage Campaign going, and start play testing my classless, level-less, spell point revision of the 5E...

    Murderbot coming to Apple tv

    Swagger is a threat. Murderbot doesn't threaten. Murderbot just tells you what they are going to do.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    Ever since I was a kid, I thought of myself as a very angry person. Later in life I was doing a heart meditation, where you really looked into your heart. I was nervous about this, because I didn't know what I was going to do with all of the anger in there. But when I actually looked in my...

    I was rather disappointed at a family dinner to find out that I (recovered addict, punk rock, zen quaker) was not the crazy uncle.

    D&D 5E (2014) When did you last buy a WotC D&D5e product? (not a third party or DM Guild)

    Spelljammer, so 2022. After the OGL debacle and my distaste with the "quality" of Spelljammer, I don't plan on buying any new WotC books for quite a while. I may buy used copies of the 5.5 books and other new books, but only after I have a better sense of the contents.

    EN Publishing Hey look, we have a new website!

    I dunno. I clicked "board games," to see what you have. It doesn't take me to board games, it just shows me a bigger image of the thumbnail with "Buy Now." But I don't want to buy now, I want to browse. So I give in and click "Buy Now" on the big board game image and it takes me to all of your...
