I wonder what will happen with places like Chaosium that have both US, EU and UK warehouses, will they put the price up for everyone or will there be a noticeable price difference between the US and other shops. Put it this way if they try and spread the cost across to UK customers I won't be...

Actually that already went on the 1st Feb, which affected a lot of boardgames back then.

I don't play D&D. Currently I play Star Trek and Dune in person. I previously played D&D online during Covid, but as soon as being in person was an opinion switched back to that.

AI art programs struggle to create anything they have never been trained on. A prime example of this is ask it to draw a glass of red wine full to the brim. It can't as it has only ever seen wine glasses full to halfway. Similarly it won't have images of collision like the one you want or dead...

Never had a tattoo, or know that many people with them to know what the convention is.

I would say tipping for served or delivered food, isn't even always expected, or at least it wasn't until say after 2020. If you have good service/food you might have left 10%, or just throw a few extra quid/£5 on the table after playing the bill. With large group yes it was expected. Now as we...

I think this is the most likely explanation.

Okay after listening to Hank I don't think I have an internal monologue most of the time, until I try and put ideas into words. I mean as I type I am thinking about the words, but really only because I am typing. I'm not really hearing them before I type them however they just seem to flow after...

What's the point of the GM then? Couldn't you all just be players and let the rules handle the GM side? But so can the players, because the DM has the flexibility to adjudicate things on the fly that aren't coded into the rules. If they are under strict rules then they aren't free to make it...

Yes. I'm just hoping other than a risk assessment the fact this place is moderated is enough to meet requirements. Problem is know if that is the case doesn't seem that clear or at least is a complete headache to figure out.

A number of online forums based in the UK or providing service to the UK are closing because of the requirements of this act, since it will apply to ENWorld, are you considering what it might involve for your business Morrus? It looks like it would apply to ENWorld...

Really depends on the genre of the game. If I'm playing Call of Cthulhu feeling overpowered would be detrimental to the experience, both as a player or a Keeper, unless it was seconds before they went mad on the power and were dragged into an alternate dimension or destroyed the world. If I'm...

True but could you see an AI taking over the GM role so that all the people could play together?

I guess because it's a PoC talking about their rpgs which seem OSR since it seems based on older systems. But they maybe should have made that clearer considering the title of it.

Picking rather than rolling on random monster tables could be considered fudging but most random tables suggest picking as an option so not sure if it is really fudging.

and orcs aren't people, and while not friends they were created by an evil god, but it didn't stop that being problematic. But D&D's your game not theirs so if you want none fiendish gnolls that aren't inherently evil, and/or orcs that are, there is literally nothing to stop you doing that.

The development team are cat people, not dog lovers.

Seems to me if you are going pantheon route this is a good way to go, if you want to keep alignments as part of D&D. However personally I would have Death as Lawful Neutral, it is something that just follows the rules, it isn't evil. However a number of folks are all for getting rid of...

Maybe you should edit your original post, as that does seem exactly what is being advocated there, but you've since refined your ideas.

Sound of Music - It might not officially be a Christmas movie, but it got show so often at that time when I was a kid I consider it one.
