Welp now I have to go find my DC Heroes boxed set and check it out again. I'm pretty sure I hated it in the 80's but I was a big Marvel Heroes RPG fan at the time.
What gets me is not that he post something racist, it's that seven people liked it. His facebook is a bubble where that kind of talk is completely normal.
I have Livelock, it's an ok sci fi twin stick shooter. Maybe they'll go for a diablo type game? Of course that was already tried with the wretched Daggerdale. We'll see.
Yes I have a 10 inch Kindle fire that I got for 100 bucks on prime day, and it's great for reading pdfs and comic books.
I also agree with the D&D beyond compliments. I find I can have a character sheet in one browser tab and the players handbook in another, and it runs great.
Free when you print from work! :)
Seriously though, if have a nice big tablet and it still isn't doing it for you, it's probably never going to. I still prefer books but I'm starting to come around on PDFs. I think they are better for rules books anyway.
I've been thinking about this too and it really seems tough. One issue is that Icespire is designed to work as a one-on-one adventure, with one character and a sidekick, but Mines would need to be revised quite a bit for that to work. I'm wondering if Mines would work as a sequel to Icespire...
Weirdly when I counted my main hardback rpg bookcase it was exactly 100 books. Add to that a secondary shelf, all the boxed sets and modules, it's probably close to 250, plus dragon and dungeon magazines.
For whatever reason I can't watch live role playing games on video. I do enjoy the occasional podcast. I'll be interested to see if this brings any innovations to the format.
Never could get into Infinity Engine style games, but I did really like the Kingmaker adventure path. I'll be watching for a console version. Local co-op would be amazing, but that's a hard ask these days.
Before Goosebumps R.L. Stein wrote a CYOA type book called Badlands of Hark. Every ending save one ended in your gruesome death (including just standing still at one point!). I loved that book.
