    The Last of Us (HBO Max)

    I never played the game, and yes, perhaps a bit bland:ish, but so far Pascal and whatshername actress from GoT has saved it. The bland feeling is probably because zombie overdose, we'll see where the show goes.

    WotC What is the last WotC adventure you played in or DM'd?

    Not WotC, but the last prewritten D&D adventure I used was Descend into the depths of the Earth sometime in the early eighties. Been home brewing since.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you deal with expensive material components in your campaigns?

    The important thing is that they pay for the casting as a money sink. Up until lvl 10ish when money doesn’t matter, then I just handwave it.

    Potential Positive Outcomes of the OGL Fiasco (+)

    As others have written, the fact that the RPG=D&D frame already is broken and lots and lots of players are reaching out and investigating other games is a major win in itself. Even if many stay with D&D in the end, they will still know that there are options, for fantasy and for a multitude of...

    D&D 5E (2024) New leak looks real bad

    If one paints a worst case scenario for an average DM, one would have 30 bucks sub, plus books, plus a couple of patreons for mapmaking etc, plus minis alt microtransactions for the 3D VTT, etc etc. The point is it adds up. For many it will still be a cheap hobby, but for others it will be a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you continue to give WotC D&D your $$$

    Imho trying to age categorize roleplaying games is just silly. It's the people who play the game that decide how the game will play, no matter if it's marketed for 7 year olds or adults. At my table, no matter what system we are using, most games tend to lean to politics, intrigue, social...

    Press [Chaosium] Chaosium is part of Paizo's Open RPG Creative License initiative

    Way to go Chaosium! Smaller companies reacting to corporate greed and monopolizing tendencies by teaming up in a way that (hopefully) also benefit customers/gamers and a healthy sustainable rpg market is awesome.

    OGL-Gate & Mainstream Media: The Guardian Weighs In

    The point imho is not the journalistic quality, but that the debacle is flagged and commented in mainstream media.

    D&D General Are You Seriously Planning to Stop Playing and/or Running D&D Over The Recent OGL Developments?

    We have D&D on a multiyear pause anyway cause of burnout. The current situation, with under-monetization and then the OGL, just make me not want to buy or use WotC/Hasbo products in any way or form. Corporate profit is fine. Corporate Mammon-like greed is disgusting.

    MCDM starts work on its RPG Monday!

    I'm not a super Colville fanboy, but any game that explicitly point out a political pillar in gameplay is interesting, funky dice or not. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this.

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    I have the recent slipcased version of Masks (amazing product!) and will run it for my players starting sometime during 2024.

    We have already switched to Savage Pathfinder for fantasy.

    Florida man vs an Aussie

    As a scandinavian, I follow this thread with interest. From a far outsider perspective it can be hard to distinguish between the two. As I have interpreted the situation, Aussies are (mostly) aware of what they're doing, while sh*t just happen to Florida Man. This thread is a cornucopia of...

    Going Nuclear:1D&D

    At this point in time I just want Foundry/Forge, Chaosium and Pinnacle to survive the upcoming chaos in good shape so my digital table can keep on gaming in our favorite systems. What I'm more worried about is a dysfunctional economy that keep repeating destructive cycles. Passionate small...

    OGL 1.1 live chat with a lawyer at Roll for Crit.

    I'm more worried about the thousands of unemployed dancers that will fill the streets if 1.1 goes through.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I understand that corporate motives can be and often are bizarre from a consumer perspective. But emotionally I have a hard time grasping that the people who have tied knots of themselves trying to cleanse their product from everything than can be interpreted as offensive to someone somewhere...

    How do you pronunce "grognard"?

    I can't give up pronouncing it as a pirate noun with focus on GROG-naard, as in "fetch the grognard and man the sails, ye bastards!".
