Moon was one of the old guard who vehemenytly defended against any RPG adaptations of her work so I am as surprised as happy that we are getting this one.

This is awesome!

Darakhul fever from Tome of Beasts 1. It has clear rules on how it spreads. They had multiple hints and blew off meeting people in town etc to explore the caves. I was not comparing the con vs home game. I even stated that earlier. I do not see the bolder part as adversarial at all. The...

Agreed. The term social media specifically arose around platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube etc and arose after chatrooms, forums, and VoiPs. Those platforms do not serve the same purpose as places like forums. I could see micro-blogging or blogging as a form of social...

Depends on the game. If it is a one-shot con game, then it could have been the final boss, which means that retreat probably ends the session. Even in a home game, I have seen players refuse to retreat because they feel like they can win, and they usually do even when people start to go down...

No, he is not responsible for other people. It looks like he did clarify in this very thread but people will still use their own lens to interpret the comments. He can choose chess or thermonuclear war.

Wow....you and I had very different takes on what he said. He clearly established that the type and style of the game would be set up in session 0 so every player would have already agreed to it. He never said the entire point of the game was to kill 3 characters. He said it happened because...

No. It’s pretty obvious. I think every one of my friends who spend a lot of time on social media like twitter, FB, TikTok etc are angry and unhappy and polarized. Algorithms? It is worse than when my parents left the 24 hour news playing all day before they passed.

Not everyone spends their lives paying attention to the internet. I had no clue what he said. I did not even read this whole thread. I skipped forward to see what folks were saying and only caught references to it. Just because you know about it does not mean he does. I have not even seen a...

He cannot control if other people use his words for negative content or control what people think. The people who use his words for their own ends are already spewing that content. If you are reacting to the mob and deciding that their take on his words are his intent, then you’re giving them...

Reddit and discord are not social media. Reddit is forum. Discord is a VoIP or chat program with an added text chat. it is not my fault that folks are not more precise. :D

I never do on your KS either. If the concept sounds cool, then I look at the tiers. The only time I read the campaign page is if the things sounds confusing. To be honest, half the time the campaign page never gets to the darn point to give a decent synopsis of the product. Of course, if...

I must have missed it or it was not clear when I was reviewing the rewards. Ah! It is not listed in the rewards and that is where the app starts you. You have to read the campaign page.

I do not see people as anti-story. It's just that few people like reading a book or watching a movie/show where they know that the characters are always safe.

I see your point, but disagree. The free part is the PDF. I would have given up all the swag just to get POD discounts codes for the physical books.

This. I have started before that ENWorld is not what I consider social media. Social media consists of the self-branding sites designed to fulfill proto-narcissistic needs to post about yourself and have followers or follow others. Calling ENWorld forums, which grew out of old school chat...

The rewards should include a discount code for POD versions.

I am the same way about talking with people and getting feedback to make sure they are having fun. I have people who are not happy over losing a character but usually most people have some many concepts in their head that they just roll up something new to try.

I think it is not for use if toggled off and the player does not own the content. The player has to own it to use it.

I am a younger Gen X and I remember the first time they introduced participation trophies after we had a disaster of a season and were ranked last in the league. No one wanted them and it just made everyone feel worse. I remember a few kids pitched them in the trash. There was no sense of...
