I'm happy with D&D being D&D. 5e gets new people to enter the hobby, and getting more people to play any RPG has always been the hard part. I don't want them to break that pipeline because right now it's working better than it ever has. What I actually want is for D&D to be stable enough that...

I don't think WotC has revealed anything other than a general desire for everyone who thinks of "D&D" to think they're included whenever Wizards is talking about D&D (there may be different different editions, but it's all "one game" is definitely a thing I've heard someone say, possibly Jeremy...

So I'm looking to build up a list of non-D&D games that are good for one shots (or even 2-3 shots). The main criteria that I'm looking for are: Games that either: have simple character creation that can be done in 15 minutes or less OR have a good Quickstart/Starter Set with pregen characters...

I suspect that seeing it in motion in the movie with that as an intermediate step rather than on a freeze frame it'll probably look fine. But captured right at that moment it looks like it's responding to Captain America yelling "Avengers Assemble!" And not in a Hulk way but more of a Thor way...

Yeah I know I'm an old man about mini prices. I got spoiled by the D&D miniatures game back in the day. (But also my collection of prepainted minis is sufficient for me, so that probably plays into things) And if I were going to call out one it would be the owlbear. Not that its poorly done...

So I take it that's a "recommend" from you? Or just excited because you've been wanting to check it out and now have no excuses :)

I just posted this in the Sales thread!

One Ring 2e starter bundle at Bundle of Holding. Starter Set, GM screen and "Strider Mode" for solo play for $13. https://bundleofholding.com/presents/OneRingStarter

Took me a second to realize that you were the one making the joke and not that the MSRP was actually $100, which would be a joke. Just a different kind of joke... I looked it up - MSRP is $40, which is still too rich for my blood for minis...

Yup. "Immediately lock myself in my office rocking back and forth hugging my knees while the pressure of running a company where somewhere around 1500 people's livelihoods depend on me not making stupid decisions and tanking their jobs slowly crushes my psyche" is probably the answer for me...

Rules Cyclopedia SRD or bust!

I mean, the only way I'm watching the Super Bowl is if my wife decides she needs to see it and I decide to stay in the same room to hang out. I'm in that 40% where "watching it for the ads" is code for "willing to be in the same room while my wife watches it". (Though she's much less of a...

In addition to what @Willie the Duck says, it's also because it's not there. It's a game where the developers didn't really have an idea of what the core activity of a group of ghosts should be. Vampires are immortal backstabbers so core activities of feeding and politics fell out naturally...

I think that's going to be a thing that Wizards is going to discover. The more complex their VTT offering is, the harder it is to homebrew, the smaller the audience they're going to have for it. The more expensive it is for 3pp to sell things on it, the smaller the audience they're going to have...

3.x is the one that is currently OGL and so I expect that the discussions are all about making sure folks who publish using the 3.x SRD are covered/placated whatever your POV on what they're doing is. I doubt 4e is even on their minds. They've memory holed it as hard as anyone else has.

But 5.1 is actually an SRD. For 4e they'd either need to create an SRD or say "Hey we're opening up the PHB, the MM, and these pages of the DMG as open content under a CC-BY license. Have fun folks!" I mean, I'd love for them to do that, but expecting it is another matter entirely...

This is an open question in AI research -whether "strong" AI is possible or not. The jury is still out. But LLMs are not that and may not even be a fruitful path towards getting that. The jury is still out on that too (though I'm in the skeptical side - I think it's likely to end up being a neat...

Go for it! I suspect you're going to find that it's actually a lot more work than you think and you'll end up abandoning the ChatGPT once your own creative energies get flowing, but maybe it'll work better for you. I say this because I started doing exactly that, was excited at first but...

I think this is exactly what they decided to do. Whether it's a good idea or not time will tell, but I think they decided a while back that the movie's existence was promoting the game and that having actual tie-in products either wasn't necessary or would in fact dilute the gains they might get...

Toy Story 5? Wow - Lightyear didn't turn out to be the franchise movie they'd hoped for I guess, so it's back to the well. I thought 3 was a good capstone. Or maybe it's the Millenial nostalgia tour? Frozen 3 - Yeah, makes sense. Kids love Frozen. I just hope they hammer out a plot before they...
