I found D&D in 1983. I found anime (and I mean unsubbed, untranslated anime as well as Robotech) in 1985. I'm STILL into anime as I've never stopped loving a good shonen. I'm still into TTRPG's but no longer playing or running D&D. I've loved BOTH for 35+ years.

Okay I hear you and agree with you on that first part. I guess we all have very different thresholds for that. Personally I've always written things down or done pre calculations on my character sheet or cheat sheets as a GM so that I'm just adding two numbers at most. Even at the height of 3.5...

I started when I was 11-12 with a used version of the Moldvay box, moving to Advanced D&D not to soon afterwards. I'm 49 now.

It always amazes me when people have decided that basic math (addition and subtraction) is crunchy or complicated. I don't know if it makes me a snob to NOT want to play with people who fear basic math especially when most phones (even older flip phones) have a calculator on them. Again, maybe...

Hey that's fair. I feel the same way about 5E. Well maybe with a lot less venom but I came the to conclusion that 5E was definitely not for me. It's not a poorly designed or bad game. I've actually played games with systems/mechanics that I didn't care for. Most times a good GM can even make a...

You know, I stopped taking some of the stuff said in this thread seriously when someone said, with what I'm assuming is a straight face, that Considering that Paizo was crafting adventures for almost 6-7 years during 3 - 3.5, then another 10 years for Pathfinder 1st edition? I'd venture that...

I was comparing it to the PF and PF 2 beginners box and saying of the three that it was the weakest introductory product for the value. At NO POINT did I say it was a bad product. In fact I specifically say: "But yeah having actually owned all three of these boxes the D&D 5e starters box...

Are you talking about THIS STARTER SET. Because I had that starter set and wound up giving it away. Value and content wise it was kinda thin compared to both the PF and PF2 Beginners boxes. The D&D starter set felt like they just threw it together as a loss leader and relied on the brand name to...

Geez, I've been around since December 2002! Happy 20th Morrus!

I dont know if I consider it work but I only want to learn a new system if I'm actually going to get to run it or play it?

I've played every edition of Dungeons and Dragons except for 5E. I only played 4E enough to judge that I didn't care for it. My primary system for Fantasy is Pathfinder (1st and 2nd edition). I like the world and there are enough resources that I have at my disposal to support it. Forgotten...

I'm a HUGE fan of the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movies especially GHOST PROTOCOL, ROGUE NATION and FALLOUT. Id love to run or play in a modern game along those lines. I would never play in or run a game where LE were the primary protagonists. I'm actually more trusting (and I use the LOOSEST...

I live in grounded. I live in a world where the bad guys win ALL THE TIME. I live in a world where people are constantly looking backward to the comfort of conformity and not toward progress and the possibility of the fantastical. So the only question that I ask myself is: Why would I want to do...

The competition has a lower price point BEACAUSE it's of lower value. I bought that D&D starter set on a lark. It felt cheap and flimsy and in terms of content, it's anemic compared to the Pathfinder Beginners Box. But if the price is all that matters that's fair. I wound up giving it away to...

Flip Mat ($15) Dice ($10) The pawns separately are close to $20. compared to an AP pawn set that contains over 100 pawns just like the description for this set A full color 64 page adventure module is $23 so its conceivable that an 80 page book ALONE can be priced at $34. But let be...

I was at a friends house when I was 11-12 and found a beat up copy of KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS. I was enthralled by it. It belonged to his big brother. His Big Brother saw how much I liked it and told me I could have it. I took it home and read it from cover to cover more than once and tried to...

48. I started in 1982-83. I haven't played D&D in over 10 years. I've been running and playing Pathfinder 1E now running Pathfinder 2E on Roll20.

I left D&D for Pathfinder. 5E is the only edition of D&D that I haven't played. Listening to the first Critical Role campaign encouraged me to pick up the core rulebooks and 3 other Hardcovers but I haven't played. My last game was a 10-year Pathfinder campaign that ended 2 years ago. I want to...

I stand corrected. Paizo usually lists sales for thier product that they are running out of and during the most recent of those (which was sometime last year I think) I noticed copies of the Kingmaker AP on that sale list. Those probably WERE some of the later volumes as opposed to the earlier ones.

The thing is, while I disagree with that d00d on more than a few things? I dont think that he's entirely WRONG about this part. 5E WAS popular within the TTRPG community in those two years. As an alternative to both 4E and the crunchier games like Pathfinder. People who abandoned D&D during 4E...
