Yeah, that's how I feel about the Lakers. I wasn't even born when they left the Land of Lakes but kept the name. It still bothers me.

I wonder if that is changing. Neither of my sons or any of their friends are into Star Wars. At all. One is 18 and the other is 15. They are into anime, D&D, Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Altered and other geeky thing. None are interested in Star Wars. They know of it because their parents made...

I bought several expensive coffee‑table books and I'm still glad they mixed this in. I've never been a fan of a strictly utilitarian approach to the printed books. I also like that they are taking a risk with a different approach with this book. There are so few books beyond the core books that...

I can understand that. But I love this. This is what gets me to still put out $50 for the physical book. I love books that mix lore, history, and adventure or crunch. Volos remains my favorite 2014 book.

Yeah, if the players agreed to a certain type of game and then refuse to interact with it, I'd just say, "sorry, I apparently misunderstood our discussions and what you wanted out of the game. This is all that I have prepared. Let's discuss want kinda of campaign folks are interested in and who...

Blast from the past. I remember watching this to get a sense of how the game played.

I'm still keeping my three books. I like the 2024 books as they solve some the issues I had with the 2014 corebooks. That said, I totally agree with you on DCC Dying Earth...though that's still on the backburner as I'm running WFRP4e currently.

No. When I got back into the hobby and my kids were still young, the first TTRPG I ran for them was Hero Kids. The main fun of hero kids was the craft aspect of it. Cutting out and gluing the standee miniatures, cutting out the geomorphs and making a cave system, etc. The rules didn't do much...

Well, I learned something new today. Looked it up. Now I'll need to re‑watch Atomic Blond and Blade Runner 2049 with that in mind.

Exactly this. Is this attitude more common with niche hobbies or just a natural reaction to getting older. I'm trying to be self-aware, but I don't recognize this attitude in myself. I enjoy a lot of the new stuff and still have access to and enjoy playing the old stuff that made me fall in love...

Huh? Um, do I even want to know?

No Thank You, Evil! is a GREAT game to introduce younger children to TTRPGs. It is also the only non-gamer-parent-friendly TTRPG I've encountered. I can't really think of anything to complain about other than the game's name. As for 5e, I like the official books to be pushing the envelope of...

I've used the GameTime GPT for ChatGPT to run WFRP 4e games for me. I had it create personas for two other players and had it run through character creation for my self and the two personas. Then I had it run some adventures for me and the two personas. I also test with D&D 5e. It was...

People expect old games to die, They do not really mourn old games. Old games are different. People look At them with eyes that wonder when... People watch with unshocked eyes; But the old gamers know when an old game dies. (with apologies to Ogden Nash)

You can still find it being run at conventions. Obscure (to younger folks) and has a small fan base, but not dead.

Cryptid gamers. Legends are told about a small, isolated group still playing Phantasm Adventures on a small, isolated Japanese island.

Cyborg Commando will never die. It is so bad it is attractive. Kinda like "bad‑movie nights", some of us like bad-game nights. Add to that the fact that it is a Gygax game, it is a collectible. One of my gaming life regrets is not buying the game when I did a learn to play session for it run...

The older I get, the less I care about novelty. I still like to try new things, but I don't chase novelty. I'm happy to play in a tried and true system and setting. I still like to check out what new things are out there, but that tends to involve reading about them rather than playing them. The...
