As others have said, literary fiction isn't rpg's and vice versa. Me, I'm happy that there are many different systems and play styles re mortality and wounds. From current D&D's practical immortality to WFRP4e where you can die from goblin rot in your toe caused by not changing socks often...

And sometimes, when every concept art image shows a majestic, ominous, spatially dominating tower, one of them might be a symbolic schlong, you never know.

The concept art sure is a phallic fest.

Making a brainchip mandatory for play, how borg bad could it be?

I know the rules, just want to say that the only thing I’m waiting for is proper Foundryfication of Savage Worlds Sci Fi Comp, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu. At least one of them should make it during 2025. As to new systems, nah, I’m good for at least 5 years. Unless Warhammer FRP 5e releases...

He's an oligarch billionaire who p*ss on working people and spend his days at Maralago playing Game of Thrones. This dude getting real power that affects us all is scary. But I couldn't care less about his opinion on our elf games.

I've been on Bluesky for a while, but this did remind me to actually delete my X account. Done.

Savage Worlds: been GMing a fun SW Pathfinder urban campaign. Currently waiting for the Sci Fi Companion to be Foundryfied, then I’ll start up a massive longterm Travelleresque campaign. Dungeon Crawl Classics: My current passion, so much fun! OSR stuff: prepping on the side for a full Rappan...

I started my gaming with The Fantasy Trip, Traveller and Runequest in the early 80ies. D&D came much later, and was just one system among many.

Awesome!

Video clips is the worst way of communication in the human history, so of course I didn't waste my time watching it. But from a dungeon rational perspective, I don't really see why repeatedly poking beings deep into their sensory organs with a rapier is a worse combat method than slashing them...

Good reading! But as my group only game via Foundry VTT, I really wish for official and full Traveller support for Foundry, with premium modules etc. Yes, one can use the TwoD6 workaround, but it's still too techy and fiddly for an old humanities dude like myself. Mongoose, my wallet is open...

Haven’t been a player since the 80ies, I’m simply not interested.

Allright. First, I might have lied at no. 1 :) I'm a long time happy user of the x-draft tools and like having manual control of my maps. But lately I've been using Dungeon Alchemist for basic fantasy battle maps, and it's simply amazing at what it does. Would I like a similar tool for...

1 Not very. 2 Pretty important (pun intended). 3 Yes. 4 No. 5 Yes.

As a GM I don't care about character mathematical balance, as long as each character can be useful in many different situations - that's in systems which I use with a roleplaying focus (not necessarily what focus the system have). But I'm more and more drawn to OSR:ish stuff and a focus on...

Rolex, since Dalton Bond is best Bond!

True. On the other hand they are milking for all it's worth now, happy times :)

Commercially I think WotC has been on the right track since 3e, but have refined the process with 5e. Release edition with lots of broken stuff, let the fan debate rage for a while, make errata but keep most broken stuff. While the debate temp keeps on being high, release a supplement book with...

As to 80ies esthetics and D&D: Yes, for me 80ies fantasy movies are way more Dungeon Crawl Classics than D&D, but without the tech or budget to make the gonzo and grand elements non-comic. Imho that's why movies like Krull are such amazing golden nuggets with sweet cheese filling. And that's why...
