I know, but if I’m gonna travel to get a book, I’d rather go the UK. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This, but in Canadian, knowing that shipping will probably cost as much as the book. Might be worth it to literally fly to UK to get my copy; at least I’ll get a vacation out of it.

I know, I love some of them. Though I would never go so far as “most systems that’s aren’t 5E or PbtA are pretty good or exceptional”. That’s not likely to be true, and it’s super subjective. And D&D (5E currently) remains the elephant in the hobby—most players still won’t play anything else…...

For what it’s worth, I’m at a point in my gaming career where “straight out of mid 80s mechanics” is a compliment. There was a lot more willingness to try new mechanics back then, compared to now when folks seem to complain if a game isn’t either 5E or PbtA.

Is this sarcasm? I can’t tell.

His name is Vecnot, and he’s a totally original creation. Any resemblance to trademarked characters from other properties is purely coincidence! I like his stat block a lot better than the other guy’s stats, though

FYI I don’t believe this was a real image, rather the guy on Reddit has re-assembled the ToC from what they could decipher. So (hopefully) no blanks nor text overlap in the actual print lol

I think there’s a lot of room to make new religious titles in your home game, even just using common words. From Christianity, we could use the examples “Shepherd” (of the flock) or “Fisher” (as in, “fisher of men”) as titles, and the scriptural analogy would be clear to Christians—despite...

Wait, they sold those three books together in a slipcase? When was that?

They look neat, but who can afford all these accessories and minis that WizKids keeps cranking out? Seems like their product line has absolutely exploded over the past few years

I’ll never believe these renderings will resemble the actual minis. Certainly not with my painting skills!

Yikes that’s a bad take, buddy.

Yeah these were literally just called “Titans” in prior editions, and were clearly meant to represent ancient Greek (non-deified) “gods”.

Hey I think that was me who voted for Empyrean! I think they’re cool… but they aren’t my favourite either. It was open-ended poll, so I’m quite sure I checked like 30 or more boxes.

Over on Reddit (which surely skews younger and newer to the hobby than here) I keep hearing about how “expensive” D&D is as a hobby. I found that surprising considering that the conventional wisdom over here seemed to be that TTRPGs are a dirt-cheap hobby compared to most—you buy a few books and...

Where do you go from there? When is it time for the group to retire and start from scratch? Or do they go off into the multiverse to raid astral palaces and slay hordes of “godlins”? Not interrogating you, just always curious how high level play evolves. Should it scale up indefinitely, or...

Too true. Personally, I used to have tons of the old WotC D&D minis, but realized it’s never really enough—you never have exactly the right number of goblins with the right weapons, nor exactly the right dragon, unless you keep buying more… forever. Not to mention the storage space! These days...

Full disclosure: I love horror movies, but Hereditary scared the crap out of me like no other movie before or since. I rewatched the ending the next day to help me get closure on what I had watched. I loved that movie… but years later I still can’t watch it again. Even hearing a certain song or...

I agree. However, our price expectations aren’t caught up to the current reality anymore.

Right now, Pathfinder 2e is my favourite mashup of 3.5, 4E, and 5E. PF2 and DCC are two opposite games that both scratch my D&D itch more than 5E does. But since my main group isn’t ready to switch permanently, Level Up: A5E is the only 5E I really want to play.
