Agency is the sequel to The Peripheral, which introduces most of the key characters. Agency must have read a bit oddly without that?

Did I previously mention This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone? This is a kind of mutliversal romance that is totally unique. It's short, but does an amazing job of building out an extraordinarily rich setting and relationship entirely through epistolary. Romance...

I've just read the first two books of Gibson's new Jackpot trilogy and love them! It's the most out there sci-fi Gibson has ever done in the sense of revolving the plots around a pretty fantastical premise: communications time travel so that a future earth is able to communicate backwards with...

Oh geez...how long do you have? I could write a pretty comprehensive list - if there's a way that a GM can screw up, I've probably done it. One I regret to this day is kind of vetoing a player's character concept, which involved wearing a super creepy mask all the time, everywhere (there player...

50 gp is a lot of money at tier 1, though, which is where my current campaign is, and then they'd have to find someone selling them. They do have access to a magic shop if they travel back to their starting city, and most are saving furiously for a coveted item. To put in context, most...

I agree - I would love to hear more of her side! But it's probably wise of Lorraine Williams to keep quiet, given the way that a certain segment of the internet would inevitably react to anything she says. She's old and long retired - she doesn't need that.

I have that model. The good news is that it was free as a KS stretch goal (D&L has very good stretch goal rewards - the same campaign also had a fantastic tarrasque as a SG reward!). The bad is that I was pretty happy with my paint job until I saw yours. That looks fantastic and you'rre not even...

Here’s the last two sentences of the post: “Whith my limited knowledge there are currently four countries for plastic miniatures (HIPS/PVC), China, Japan, England, and Poland. With currently only China having the capacity to fulfill the US demands on production.” So…please specify what was...

Burden of proof is on you to support your claim, so given that you can't name an example, your claim is currently empty. Moving the goalposts by blaming someone being "rude" for your inability to supply any evidence is weak. Also, here is their post: "Do you have an example of a miniatures or...

I tend to agree, but only for the original starter kit version. The four mini-campaigns in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount are the only other adventures I like as much, but they are only kinda sorta WotC adventures.

Maybe? Generally, a barbarian should have much better uses for their action economy than attempting an arcana check to use a scroll, but I suppose having one in their back pocket for a Hail Mary could lead to a fun moment. In my current campaign, the party doesn't possess a single spell scroll...

I've not heard of anyone using India for miniatures production and I'm pretty aware of what goes on in that hobby space. Maybe there's a domestic Indian market I know nothing about; if so, I'd love to learn more! Citation needed. Edit: I'm not sure if non-hobbyists fully understand the...

I can't imagine (i) even being considered a "sandbox" game in the way that I think about it. The football analogy suggests to me that it is not a sandbox game, it is an entirely prescribed narrative - basically, a tightly scripted adventure path. There is one way to win, and the only questions...

Will players want to distribute valuable spell scrolls to characters who have a high likelihood of whiffing on them and wasting the spell entirely? Like, would giving barbarians the potential to use a spell scroll on a lucky roll result in anyone ever attempting it? Unless the campaign is...

Let's just say I don't have a lot of hope for the C'Mon Games Cthulhu: Death May Die KS I backed a few months ago. I mean, C'Mon has other issues to begin with, but add the tariff situation and yikes.

Been listening to a lot of funk lately, and specifically Betty Davis's small but incredibly impressive catalogue. Woman was ahead of her time, and deserved a lot more fame and glory than she got!

I am a creature of routine, so not doing my workout is not an option unless I am so sick that I am physically incapable - I think I've maybe missed one workout in the past year or so. This is actually a problem, because I will work out even when it would probably be healthier for me to rest. And...

This is what I don't agree with. I think that will make everyone poorer, aside from the folks at the very top. I definitely think it would make our hobby substantially more expensive, for everyone. There's no way that an American company can make miniatures, for example, in the USA without...

The first category includes just about every responsible business, though I doubt any of them anticipated the ridiculous extent of the tariffs. The latter category is nonexistent, as far as I am aware. Unless you can cite a KS who claim they'll have "no problems" dealing with a 145% tariff? Are...

Agree to disagree. I don't see how moving production from China to a country that is openly trying to break mine will help Canadian TTRPG fans or producers in the short or long term. It just sounds like moving games production to a hostile nation that will tariff us on a whim. Respectfully, I'm...
