    All this hack ‘n’ slash has got me wanting a champions of Norath remaster that’s probably never gonna happen.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is it possible to balance the six abilities?

    There are so many leaps to conclusions here it’s hard to keep count.

    How do you handle gems as a GM?

    I just say how much they are worth. Any game discovering the worth or haggling to sell is just a boring distraction from getting on with the game. I’ll note I’m a recovering simulationist so that kind of consideration isnt one I value any longer. I get the interest tho.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is it possible to balance the six abilities?

    The argument that one can act stronger than one is but not smarter than one is, isn’t compelling.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Weed vape is more popular in places its illegal because its easy to conceal. Folks tend to prefer flower, at least locally here where it is legal.

    For those who don't play D&D (or its clones), what keeps you engaged with EN World?

    While I wish the non-D&D chatter was more frequent I do find EN World a good RPG general discussion place. I can compare and contrast games in ways that specific sites don’t have an interest in. I can also get diverse opinions while mostly avoiding the unpleasantness of many internet sites...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Yeap, my experience with them was so funny to me. Being a PC gamer I had experience with FPS games from wolfenstein to Quake. I remember the first non-pc gamer friend to get goldeneye. That first night they were like “what the hell is this?” They were blown away as madden and Mario players...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    I think the trick with Goldeneye is that it tread ground none had. That is it had an engaging story and single player mode that followed a popular action film. Turok was also a step in this direction but James Bond was the IP to transcend genre and bring folks to the FPS beyond PC gamers and...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    I appreciate your knowledge in these discussions and think facts are important too, but there reached a point where an opinion can be a discussion without devolving into a debate team exercise. Many of the fact corrections are out of context in a sweeping attempt to fact dunk on the opinion to...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    you don’t mean to be rude but are going to anyways it seems. Condescending comments are still condescending when you sugar coat them. Bottom line Goldeneye was #3 selling all time N64 after Mario. Even perfect dark a repackaged golden eye did much better than turok. If you want to argue Turok...

    D&D General D&D Editions: Anybody Else Feel Like They Don't Fit In?

    I’m not sure what you mean by 23 year trap in the context? In one instance you make it sound like it was planned from inception like a “trap” and the ogl itself is a debacle. I’d disagree I like the ogl and the resultant years of products from it. Or did you mean ogl debacle that occurred...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    There would be no Halo without Golden eye. Yeah, thats right. The very concept that you could stake an original IP FPS ona console owes it to the success of Golden Eye. It was the first FPS on console to not simply suck, but actually be pretty great. Also, it was wonderful in how it adapted the...

    Your most "visceral" experience at a movie theater.

    Adaptation is one of, if not, the best Cage movies. Check out Hardy's Bronson its actually really damn good.

    Your most "visceral" experience at a movie theater.

    Well thing is he is capable of acting well on occasion. Like 1 out of 15 films. I read a story about Tom Hardy who I love but had to agree he has a cage like career with one or two excellent roles in a long list of garbage ones.
