    Good Television Mystery Series

    A pretty good series. Though it definitely felt like they didn’t expect to get cancelled and wrapped it up in one episode.

    The Last of Us (HBO Max)

    It’s a great story, I had a bit of an issue with the violence of the cut scenes hitting correctly after the copious amounts of violence in the gameplay. YMMV

    The Last of Us (HBO Max)

    Started Season 2 Today. I was ready for it, but it still hit hard. I think the violence and revenge themes will hit appropriately that failed to in the video game experience.

    How Much Do You Care About Novelty?

    Exactly. What many of these D20 adaptions miss the concepts of the tropes, and you end up with spy D&D.

    How Fantastical Do You Like Your Fantasy World?

    Traveller has always split the difference there. You have trillion credit squadron where its all capital ships and battle armor and entire nights of rolling dice in a single battle like a wargame. Then, you have a ragtag group on the edge of space being Firefly before Firefly was a thing. Not a...

    The Good Sandbox Thread [+]

    Its been used for decades. Though, it backfired a few times on me. My players went down a deep rabbit hole of finding a trade route like Traveller was the Merchant of Venus board game RPG port. They looked up all the obnoxiously long system codes to find who needed textiles or electronics etc...

    D&D General Sandbox and/or/vs Linear campaigns

    Absolutely! What I have found is that my heart is really in the middle. I like the background and meta-plot for a game that both GM and player alike can sink their teeth into. There are times the player needs to be proactive, but also times they need to be reactive. When its working, its like a...

    How Fantastical Do You Like Your Fantasy World?

    So, I want to add a bit to my post in this thread. GoT mostly mundane with a splash of fantastical is my preference for GMing a game. I have no problem playing in a fantastical game, its just not where my creative GM energy lies. Eberron is pretty fantastic for example, and Id play in it in a...

    The Good Sandbox Thread [+]

    I agree, motivation has been the bane of many of my Traveller games. Again, major brownie points for Pirates of Drinax as the overreaching meta-goal of becoming lords/pirates/etc.. of the Trojan Reach both allows a wide birth for adventure types and agendas, and it provides a big area of space...

    What Show Should Have Only Had One Season?

    For me, the writing just got bad and I want to say even lazy. Which brings up a tangent, when a series starts relying on flashbacks to stuff already well tread (or to retcon in stuff they didnt think of then) a show is about to take a turn for the worse. So, it was clearly awful well before the...

    How Fantastical Do You Like Your Fantasy World?

    I'm gonna say my default mode is like Game of Thrones and/or The Expanse. A mostly down to Earth setting with mundane folks and a pinch of the fantastical. Leaning more on political intrigue than McGuffins and fantasy elements.

    What Do YOU Want The Future of TTRPGs To Look Like?

    I used to hit up some local Pathfinder Society play about 15 years ago (man time flies). I enjoyed the variety of playstyles and community aspect. It wasnt the ideal game or group situation, but I did meet some excellent folks that turned out to be of good group material and lasting friendship...

    Pathfinder 2E Why are all the magic items so boring?

    This is one of those general things, not meant to include literally everyone. Like "everybody's second favorite edition".
