Climate change denialism is not a good look, not when it’s widely accepted as fact by the overwhelming majority of climate scientists (who surely have the best understanding of it). Meanwhile, we’re in the middle of the first winter Olympic Games with no natural snow, but you’re defending the...

All of the nascent industries you mentioned offered some value to adopters. Crypto and NFTs don’t do anything except exist to be traded. NFTs aren’t even the art they claim to be—it’s just a holder for a link to an image, which can still be unhosted or swapped for another image on the hosting...

The difference is that cars fulfill a need and have a clear use for most people. Bitcoin only exists as an investment security. It provides no value to its owners, but it costs a lot due “proof of work” by the network (which comes in the form of energy costs and environmental impacts). It has no...

Yeah Dan Olson makes the same point quite explicitly (in the 2hr video linked in the first comment). Not only is the current situation favouring the already-wealthy, but that it was inevitable and by-design in most crypto designs. He calls crypto a fight between the 5% and the 1%; it’s never...

Thanks for the link! I watched the whole thing last night (2+ hours). While I won’t pretend to understand everything discussed—especially in the later half, when my focus was waning—this video did a good job systematically describing the entire blockchain/crypto/NFT environment. It definitely...

Said this in another thread—I like the idea of these products, but rather than pushing the luxury angle, I’m a lot more interested in buying a cheap, sustainable version: cardboard cover, recycled paper, digest sized.

Some of their stuff looks really cool, like perhaps these Chronicle books. Alas, I wish that instead of making things more luxurious, they made versions that were cheaper: smaller format, cardboard cover, B&W art, recycled paper, $10. I love the Pocket Editions in PF because they’re cheaper to...

This except it was Baldur’s Gate

My Eberron knows no multiversal impurities

I hope it includes rules for searching for rare trees to repeatedly chop down so I can grind my Woodcutting skill to lvl99. /s

That’s a solid plan! That way, WotC is making content for ENPublishing’s game.

Nice! Timely too, considering I asked was wondering about that first book just a couple days ago

Hey gang, I’m plotting out my first A5E campaign, and planning to use the starting/intro adventure, “Memories of Holdenshire” as the basis. I have a few questions about the setting though: 1) Does Holdenshire exist explicitly or implicitly within another setting world (e.g.: Zeitgeist), or is...

Thanks for this! I had no idea it was still around so recently. I just had a vague recollection of the name “CodeMonkey”.

Right? I used the heck out of that CD for a few years. IIRC, didn’t that project turn into something called “CodeMonkey”? I thought a full character builder appeared, but too little too late. Same here. WotC’s stuff seems very fluffy and boring to me lately, while A5E and PF2 increasingly have...

You say “Atomic Arcade”, and I hear “Gleemax”… My god, has it been 15 years already????

I would play this unironically… …while all the songs flood my brain and slowly drive me mad.

Ah, there goes whatever respect remained for Ernie Gygax.

Is there a summary of the basic rule changes in LU:A5E compared to O5E? I don’t mean spell-by-spell or monster-by-monster, rather just an overview of the major changes I should remember as a DM. (I used the search function but didn’t find a prior thread asking this question; sorry if I missed...

Yeah, that email was where I heard about this. I immediately went looking for more info, because I surely don’t understand why Kickstarter is doing this. Still don’t, tbh.
