My theory? It was Kate Stewart. Well, the 10th Doctor was The Doctor Who Regrets, so I think it's on-brand that he just can't let go.

I won't walk away from D&D unless my group does. That said, I won't be buying the new core books, and I dropped my years-long DM subscription on DDB to the free level. There's so much 5E content out there that does things I like more than how WOTC does them, and more on the way, that I just...

This is what I was going to post as well. It's funny and moving in all the best Doctor Who ways.

I got the pdf of the players book for US$25(?) as soon as it was available, and even though I haven't actively used anything from it yet, I absolutely do not regret that purchase.

I'm super-intrigued by this. I haven't looked at the Doctors & Daleks encounter builder - can you give us a basic description of it? Oh, right - I just meant to say that's how Quips are introduced in the book - but in a standard fantasy approach they could just be a part of backgrounds, or just...

The player's book has a bunch of stuff that would be pretty easy and really interesting to port into a standard 5E game. I'm thinking of Quips (they're like cantrips, all about being clever, influential, etc.), Initiative order (talking happens first!), and Plot Points (instead of Hit Points).

I have fully dug into the details of this system, but it looks like characters start out with an array of class-based features, and then those core features get improved as the character levels up, rather than getting new features. Do I have that right?

The Incredibles is not "the Fantastic Four done right", nor should no one bother making an FF movie because The Incredibles did it already.

Actually, in 2024 I want to lean into writing, layout, and copyediting/proofreading work in the biz. Anywhere in the general creation and publishing end of things is the longer-term goal.

Decide if I actually want to run the two short-run games and the one long-term game I have in mind, or if I just like thinking about running them. :) Spend more in-person time with some of the folks in my gaming group other than on game night.

Do NOT get me started! 😅 TPTB need to ask themselves if it's because they're making bad superhero movies or because of factors beyond their control. They will reliable blame the wrong thing(s), i.e. not themselves. Are there any DC movies on the horizon between Aquaman 2 and Superman: Legacy...

Saw it last weekend, and i agree with the comments that the humans character stuff really works, making this more than just another kaiju movie with some humans running around in it. Also, there seems to be some rewriting of Godzilla's origin going on, but I won't get into spoilers.

Interesting question! Supers. I'm always on the lookout for my next favorite supers system. I want to play them, but if I want them to happen at all I usually have to run them. I love superhero comics, always have, and always will, so getting to jump head first into that milieu is always a...

We might just barely be able to afford visiting our daughter before or after the class in Greece next year that she just got accepted to in addition to our long-scheduled Newfoundland trip. Probably not, though. So...I'd pay someone to sort through and get rid of most of our stuff, so I can...

Yeah, I realized this about an hour after posting! :D

When a year passes with no major studio releasing a super-hero movie, we'll know. Or maybe when Marvel releases only one in the course of a year. I think instead of dying we'll just see more variations. Maybe they will settle in as just another common genres like war movies, spy thrillers...

I actively disliked 4E at the time - mostly because of the relatively heavy tactical focus - but since then I've grown to like a lot of things about it. In light of 5E - which I'm not knocking, because my group has a great time playing it, weekly, for 6 years now - there are 4E things that seem...

I've backed Lineages of the Long White Cloud just to support those folks! The backer levels are very low price-points!

At it's bare-bones core, it might be my favorite traditional rpg ever. Everything there works and makes intuitive sense to me.
