I'd also like to point out that this isn't just about WotC or even rpg's; almost every game sector is down (apart from minis). There's a lot going on here that has nothing to do with what Hasbro/WotC are/aren't doing.

Sorry to digress, I have all these games through Steam. How do you access the Gold Box Companion UI?

I agree. And most of the complexity is front loaded in character creation. Once that's done, I thought it ran pretty smoothly.

The problem with Kickstarter is that it doesn't provide a pledge management service; that's why companies like Backerkit (et. al.) came along in the first place.

I was born in '71 and we didn't have much in the way of video games at the time. Nowadays though, I think most people are coming from video games because most kids start playing video games before ttrpg's.

I used to play chess regularly, but eventually I admit I got bored with it. In FIDE chess, two decent (or better) players of equal ability play to a draw too often. I do like many of the variants, though. Shogi is my favorite. I've wanted to build a Jetan set for some time but I never seem...

I thought Moffat did great, when he wasn't in charge. Once he was in charge, even some of the stuff he created (like the Weeping Angels) became increasingly silly IMHO. One thing I think a lot of Who writers have struggled with is when they go into the past, they suddenly get very timid with...

Unfortunately, the actor who played Wilf (Bernard Cribbins) passed away this past July.

A frighter.

Yeah, my understanding is that this was a Paramount/Viacom decision. I don't know the specific details, but apparently IDW Comics has some type of exclusivity in relation to PDF's of TMNT material.

Just so everyone is aware, this is apparently physical product only - there won't be any PDF's.

I believe that's the entire intention for PF2. I think it was somewhere on the Paizo forums where it was mentioned that, unlike PF1, PF2 assumes you're playing in Golarion. You don't have to, but the design decisions assume you are.

Also, in dual classing, once the "new" class hits the same level as the "old" class, those abilities can be used again without penalty. In the very first Baldur's Gate game, my first character went to level 4 as a Thief and then dual classed to magic-user. I think BG1 just prohibited me from...

I pre-ordered the game when early access started as well and I also didn't like what I saw at the time. It wasn't that certain things didn't work or weren't included - that's all expected in an Early Access game. It was their responses (or lack thereof) to certain issues. I had an encounter...

One thing I like (potentially) about shows that go from 20-24 episodes per season is that it allows for a larger ensemble cast. With 8-10 episodes, there's only so much character growth that can happen and only to a small number of characters; there just isn't time for anything else. There's...

Agreed. I imagine ownership rights might be bizarre. TSR released a flat-pack Monopoly style box version of both 'Snit's Revenge' and 'The Awful Green Things from Outer Space'. Steve Jackson Games released an updated version of both about 10 years ago in a Munchkin style box. 'King of the...

Amazon is hard to rank. It has a few gems and it's hard to find stuff in, but I didn't even subscribe to it to watch TV. I save more in free shipping every year than the price of Prime membership even with the additional charge that I pay for BritBox.

The new edition is functionally the same as the old, but is explained much better. Vastly better explained. You're paying for it too. The two book slipcase comes in at $150 plus another $30 or so for the Fortune Deck. Add in even more $$$ if you want to buy the Vision packs to help guide...

Tolkien really wanted to write about the Elder Days and get that published, but knew that would be a tall order. 'The Hobbit' was written to drum up interest in the themes he wanted to explore, but it wasn't originally the same world as the Elder Days. When 'The Hobbit' was successful he went...

No.
