This looks really interesting. I've played the original adventure and the one part of the Pathfinder Card Game. Color me interested in more Runelords.

I really enjoyed these books. I had heard they were a great description of how someone becomes a Paladin, and I really agree with that. I will definitely look at the game and this motivates me to get out the series again. I'll point out that the books start off as sort of YA fantasy. I was...

I find it super tiring as well. I've said it before but Matt does an excellent job of representing someone from a particular time and place. Since that is close to where I come from too, I find what he talks about and how he does so fun and interesting. But I can also see that if you come from a...

This is such an important point. I've never been in a situation where I wanted to run a game for a while and the response was just "No, D&D or nothing!" I think it's because I run a game with friends who genuinely care about each other. We did a Daggerheart game last year and the GM was new and...

I agree. Matt and I see eye to eye on most things, being about the same age and similar style for gaming. So while I enjoy what he says, for videos like this it's a lot of "yeah, right on!" ... as opposed to learning something. But I nod my head a lot with something like this. If you are a...

I think this is the case where the dice come into play. There are many situations where things could go either way, and everyone at the table wants a particular outcome. If the GM (and the table in general) lets the dice determine what happens, then the fiction becomes its own thing. I'm not...

A really good question. I play with Foundry and systems like Pathfinder2 and D&D are absolutely incredible with what they can automate. But that's by no means required. I think most people are wanting things like handling characters and die rolling, and having game materials available for...

I definitely agree with you. I just advise people who have a product that gets any traction at all that they need a VTT option to make it out of a incredibly niche market. There are some exceptions, I'm sure, but in general. And that's too bad because this keeps some really good games from...

This is a really interesting question. I know the core rules of the edition by heart but there are a lot of tiny fiddly bits that I just don't. I've run games, play in a couple of different games, and am a rules reference guy for them. But some of the small and very specific rules and how they...

For me, very definitely feel the same way (that is, not fitting in). The good news is that there are so many great "5E adjacent" games out there at the moment. The bad news is that I play entirely virtually, so I have to get one with VTT support. And with a lot of these products coming from very...

That certainly was not my intent. There have been a number of comments that basically ask "how can you Kickstart a free product." I apologize for any offense caused and I won't participate in this thread any further.

I would love to play in-person but ... since Covid, I just haven't. And one of my groups are mostly out on the west coast, while I'm in Wisconsin, so that's not practical without a lot more travel money than I have.

This looks wonderful. It's putting together a 5E resource for the worldwide gaming community in an attractive package. And then making that package available to this community for free. And doing something like that ... isn't free. I'm not sure how that's hard to understand. I've put together...

It's not a good answer, it's a great answer! With Hero you can mix and match multiple magic styles in the same game all under one rules set.

I think you were doing a good job on that. I honestly think this particular discussion has gotten toxic enough that I need to peace out of it. Mike listed a play style preference, and that's somehow the worst thing imaginable. I don't play that way but I find myself supporting people who play...

I definitely get that WotC has said it's the best-selling book now; another poster made that abundantly clear to me. I hope Beyond is able to keep up with whatever metrics are required to not get it shuttered too.

I know someone who played what sounds like this adventure but not with Mike running it. If I'm correct (and hey, it's been established here, that I might not be...) it was AD&D 1E where the sword cuts off the head on an 18-20. So not that common but not beyond the realm of possibility.

I have a copy of the Warlock of Firetop Mountain computer game but of course you’re right.

I don't know, I've played more than a few of those and gotten the "You are Dead" page. I memorized that page pretty quickly when I was a kid.

And there I was trying to be nice about it. had no beef with you whatsoever. Here's my response: HOW ABOUT TREATING PEOPLE WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF COURTESY AND RESPECT? WOW.
