    So Cyberpunk 2077

    Not sure why damning or not convincing, but then I've seen how it works on the inside. I've seen where something is working on one platform, so they use it for reviews and media, with the assumption that the other platform will 'get there'. And it can seem quite plausible, though it's never as...

    The Fantasy Trip outsells GURPS in 2019?

    So if you're a business, and you have an audience that supports your business at the level that you need to sustain your cash flow, do you (a) give your audience what they want or (b) take a risk and change what you're giving, hoping for that audience that may exist for this new thing that...

    The Fantasy Trip outsells GURPS in 2019?

    Considering that they're running another GURPS Kickstarter soon (after the successful Kickstarter they just held for GURPS material), it seems that they have an audience that is still quite interested in the product.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    That's not the part that I saw. It was something about transmission. Again, if you don't see anything that sets off your alarms, then I suppose it didn't set anything off for you. But know that a couple of people saw the same. It's quite a large document, or I'd just check it, but don't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Variant Monk that uses Strength instead of Wisdom?

    Why not just adapt the Brawler from Pathfinder, or am I missing something?

    D&D General How much of your annual gaming money does D&D get?

    WotC got a little money from me for Birthright, Dark Sun 4e, Eberron 4e, and a couple of other PDFs that they released on DTRPG. They also got a bit as my daughter's BF got her into D&D after me failing for a while, and I couldn't have my daughter without the PHB and got her essentials. In...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    I think that was mentioned above as an option. At least, I think this is where I first heard of that and owlbear.rodeo.

    OSR How Would You Convert WHFRPG to OSR?

    With no new systems being an immutable point, what is it exactly that you're trying to convert from WFRP that you're trying to retain? WFRP is a system with a world that has a unique flavor. Are you just trying to play in that World?

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    So presumably it is still there. Again, it was around broadcasting and ownership, and didn't differentiate between their content and your own. Decide for yourself. If you don't see anything problematic, that's fine. It probably won't be an issue in the long term; I doubt they'd enforce...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    I haven't read it recently, but a lot of it was around transmission and ownership of your data. This was just a PSA to take a look and decide for yourself, but some of the language that was in it when I was taking a look completely turned me off and did not look standard. Someone I told to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    All I have to say on that front, is check out the TOS of Astral before you become invested. That's what turned me off the platform.

    My Gaming Goals for 2021

    I don't mind the time that they take to market. I just want to make sure that when I back, I have something concrete in mind, rather than just supporting because it looks vaguely interesting.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    The two mentioned in this thread were what solidified this for me- you might check out Mythic Table and Owlbear.Rodeo and see if they might work.

    The Fantasy Trip outsells GURPS in 2019?

    They release (and have been releasing) product regularly on Warehouse 13- PDF material only, but there is definitely a cost associated with producing this material, so if there was not a pretty sizeable return on the release, I wouldn't think that they'd do it.

    D&D 4E Am I crazy? I've just gotten a hankering to play 4e again...

    4e was not as bad as people make it out to be- it was one of my most used versions in practice. Before I play 5e, I'd play another game, as it seems to emulate a lot of games I like better for that. If I want to play something more crunchy and tactical, 4e is exactly what I want to play.

    My Gaming Goals for 2021

    I love supporting Kickstarter Projects and Patreon Projects, but I don't use a lot of it. In many cases, by the time I get it in, I'm wondering why I backed it. I'm going to be more focused in the money I spend on the hobby. I want to get my 3d printer set up and start to use it for gaming...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    This thread has sort of solidified something that I didn't know that I needed- my requirements are just that it manage the desktop well. Not the system integration. Just the interface with the map and the dice rolling are enough (and I don't really even require dice rolling). In most cases, I...

    Buffy: An Appreciation and a Ranking!

    Seasons 2, 3 and 6 were my favorite. Yes, 6 was gloomy, but I liked it. 5 was good. I dislike 1 just because I have a hard time getting anyone to watch past this one because it was so formulaic and campy. My only argument is "It gets better...". 4 and 7 sort of stalled- 4 was running in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    How are you using Foundry? One of the hosting providers? Or did you set it up yourself? I ask this of anyone using Foundry. I found a docker image that I was thinking of spinning up on AWS, but I was wondering how people were using it.

    Any Skies of Sordane Backers Here?

    The thing to remember about resin printers is that you're dealing with toxic waste, and so there's a lot more concern about handling of the material. It's one of the reasons I went with PLA- the level of care and the additional material required were a bit much for me just getting into this.
