Despite having Collen Farrel, Brian Cranstan, and Kate Beckinsale, its a dud.

I find its just the right amount of meat for me. By that, I mean there are attributes and skills that lead to a dice pool mechanic. It's that simple, but characters often have enough interesting application in that set up to make playing interesting and quick. It doesn't bog down for GM or...

Oh, man, It's like the the 57th rule of acquisition.

Im just more of an organize work lists then do them myself type. 🤷‍♂️

It is, but sesh 0 is no foolproof plan either. It wont project you from a trojan horse because the person is acting in bad faith. Another thing ive learned about gamers is many of them do not read about the game, participate in social media discussions about the game, think about game design...

For a long time now folks have derided videogames as not being able to GM an RPG the way a human can. As in adapt to choices of a player and create from whole-cloth new material A.I. might be able to change that perception.

Folks love to blame optimization as an issue, but really its a person recognizing their own interests and matching and/or compromising with the group that is the issue. Its been noted in this thread that some folks who identify as optimizer are able to have fun with folks they believe do not. I...

Yes, Virginia, LLM is a type of A.I.

I love every actor in their place so far.

Thanks for the write up. Its things like this that continue to make me love Golarion even if PF isnt the RPG for me anymore.

It seems like in their message they are owning it and not blaming anyone else. Though, they seem to also mention needing a little time to frame their thoughts and I'd give them that space respectfully. For the bold bit, I think thats a good possibility since they framed up their response rather...

Pretty easy to understand they gave up on you for a legion of new players. While I to prefer the complexity of yesteryear edition, BA is one of the best D&D design decisions.

Keep an eye on wealth by level. Folks will say the game works fine never giving any magic items, but I have found that to be completely untrue.

Since y’all been telling work horror stories I got one from today. So, partycity a party supply and balloon retail chain went belly up in U.S. I guess this left 100 mill a year in helium balloon sales up for grabs. So, my company decided to jump in. They don’t want helium tanks for testing in...

It just occurred to me that Bond and D&D have a lot in common for me. I’m not particularly excited about diving into new versions, but I’m very interested in how they are made. I’m looking more forward to discussing how the martini is made than actually drinking it.

Yeap, Spectre felt the most Bond by numbers of the Craig era to me.

I’m guessing it’s two fold. Folks found out playing online isn’t that difficult and it has a bit going for it. I think that’s going to keep folks into RPGs alone because it makes them logistically possible where previously it wasn’t. The second is generational. Lots of teens and young adults...

Oh sure, OSR is something I neglected to mention as another option in general.

Oh im guessing its the super smart and capable person who always underachieves until the moment of existential crisis kinda things.
