    Babylon 5... reboot?

    I seem to recall JMS admitted, after the series ended, that was a mistake he wouldn't repeat.

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    Did you have sanitary measures? Like only half seats occupied and wearing masks?

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    My wife is a fan of the 007. Glad to learn it's a good one. We'll go see it this weekend in the theatre for the first time since Covid.

    Ted Lasso (Apple+)

    They won awards so I decided to watch it. OMG! Love it. Anyone is watching the show? I have to say with Fondation, For All Mankind, Ted Lasso and Mythic Quest I'm glad to have the service for free, for one year, because I bought a new MAC.

    For All Mankind (Apple+)

    Finished season 1 and two episodes into season 2. There is certainly a lot of human drama going on. The characters are well rounded and follow their own internal logic. Interesting to see how every one evolved during the 10 years between season 1 and season 2.

    What is the most complex TTRPG of all time?

    Should be called "Bones TV Series the RPG!" 🙃 Reminds me of a French rpg I only played once in which we had to guesstimate the speed of the wind and direction before telling the GM which angle we gave to our bow shot. He looked up a table and told us, you are short, it went wide, it went over...

    Big book or multiple smaller?

    Two books even if it's slightly more expensive. One book with GM info (+adversaries and detailed setting) and the other with Player info (+setting overview). 800 pages is just ridiculous. Scares away potential players!

    What would you pay for a book?

    The problem is the exchange rate in my case. If I could pay US prices in Canada I would be very happy.

    [PtbA] Any good YouTube I can watch?

    So far I've listened to the first 20 minutes of Gauntlet's Midnight Run session. I find it hard to watch other people play rpgs - more so when one participant slows everything down by supplying vague and uninspired answers to the questions. I'll continue tomorrow.

    Thanks! I started another thread and got some answers. So far I've listened to the first 20 minutes of Gauntlet's Midnight Run session.

    Sean K. Reynolds talks RPG salaries, puts his on record.

    That is not only in RPGs. The price for MtG boosters hasn't followed the inflation curve. WoTC decided to cut one set from their yearly block of sets because of that IIRC. To me one of the major problems is that gamers tend to be compulsive buyers. They spend a lot of money, per year, on far...

    [PtbA] Any good YouTube I can watch?

    Actual play. No specific game.

    [PtbA] Any good YouTube I can watch?

    Tik, tok, tik, tok, really? No one can point me to a 'right way to play' PtbA YouTube?

    What is the most complex TTRPG of all time?

    It had the award of the worst RPG ever, until FATAL came out. More info here: World of Synnibarr (Tabletop Game) - TV Tropes

    [PtbA] Any good YouTube I can watch?

    What Youtube channel do you recommend so I can watch how PtbA is played the right way?

    What is the most complex TTRPG of all time?

    Synnibar: "Rule Zero of every role-playing game is supposed to be either "The GM is always right" or "The rules shouldn't get in the way of the story", right? Not so in the World of Synnibarr! The GM is required to write his adventure notes down before the game begins, and then show them to the...

    Is there a good YouTube PtbA channel I could watch to see it in action?

    New Campaign - But Which System?

    Do a test drive of Warhammer with the quick start rules and pre-gens. D&D is not really designed for grim dark fantasy unless you introduce house rules.

    thoughts on Apocalypse World?

    I participated in a convention game of Dungeon World. We spent a good amount of time setting up our characters, origins and backgrounds, then we played. Honestly, maybe the GM didn't understand DW, but I felt like he was obsessed with his 'framing the scene' role, cut us when we talked and...

    [D&D Logic] Comedy Sketches on D&D

    When the background doesn't match the level of the character: I've had several of those over the years. :lol: :lol: :lol:
