  1. Professor Murder

    What is your favorite RPG book of all time?

    The oldest DnD book I still have on my shelf because nothing has ever even come close to replacing it.

    D&D General Who “owns” a PC after the player stops using them?

    What a fascinating premise. Simplest answer I can give is what the child of divorce I am would recognize it as: Joint custody.

    Is TTRPGing an "Expensive Hobby"

    I will continue to advocate for tables to be willing to share economic burdens as evenly as everyone is comfortable with. A table of five players and 1 GM who each contribute $15 can be buying $120 worth of resources, which can really be stretched well. In comparison to some other geek...

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    I have every other time. Why would I stop now? How quickly is a separate question. I am holding out till next year and the expected printing of a boxed, LFGS alt cover collection of all 3 books.

    Your best live action Superman?

    It's Reeve. Right here. I feel bad. This scene is such a high bar.

    Looking for views and reviews of World Anvil

    So I'm running multiple campaigns and more and more, I want to develop them more cleanly. World Anvil sells itself as a service that could help. But I want some non sponsored takes on the service. 1) Are there any good video or written reviews for the service you can recommend? 2) Have you...

    D&D General Top selling 5E official non-core 3 books? / Why aren't adventure books catching fire?

    This isn't rocket science. Who is going to buy a rules book? Possibly anyone. Who is going to buy an Adventure? DMs, and even then mostly ones who plan to run them. I rarely run written adventures and only have purchased Ghosts of Saltmash, which I foolishly did in the hopes of real seafaring...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Core Rulebooks: 'We'll Still Be Working On Them In May'

    What I need to know is: A) are we seeing simultaneous or staggered releases? and B) Will there be a 3 book boxed set with FLGS covers? For A, I would prefer to have simultaneous release, with a clear date, so I can budget now. I am a DM and would just prefer to get them all at once. If it is...

    I wish I got to run Paranoia enough to justify a new edition. But I already heavily invested in the previous one.

    D&D 5E (2024) I'm a longtime player and there really is only one thing that will stop me from switching to 5.X

    Meh. I am not interested in people going into excruciating detail about why the don't like a game. Tell me what works in your favs.

    D&D 5E (2024) I'm a longtime player and there really is only one thing that will stop me from switching to 5.X

    One way in which you are incorrect: If I stop buying books, I get to keep the ones I have. If we see a move to a pure subscription service, when I stop paying, I loose access.

    D&D General US Postal Service Releases D&D Stamps

    To Clarify: Forever Stamps here in the US means that they always hold value, even if the cost of individual stamps go up. A Forever stamp is always worth the base value of a standard letter.

    RPG Print News – Free League, Columbia Games, Arc Dream Publishing, and More

    I'm glad Commandroids is getting a printing. Played it years back at a convention. The price made me check the page count, which turns out to be pretty robust. Not an immediate pick up but could definitely end up on my Xmas list.

    D&D General Vague idea: Humans as the descendants of Elves and Orcs

    Had a LotR vid on in the background and had a thought: Humans can produce viable offspring with both Orcs and Elves because they are themselves the descendants of those two older peoples sometime in the distant past. Not a general lore but more one to develop for a specific setting.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Audience - Do you feel like you're the target audience?

    I am also an unrepentant gaming cannibal and just buy such products to swipe ideas.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Audience - Do you feel like you're the target audience?

    Real Talk: I should not be the "target audience". I'm an entrenched gamer in their late 40s. It's my take that about half of all material should be aimed at either onramping people to take on gaming, or geared to help people start GMing. I dont have much need for published adventures, but if its...

    What dead game would you resurrect?

    I'm jealous. Could definitely see the game getting a "timeline update" to cover events from the revival, and then another book that was just heists.
