It's not hyperbolic to speak about my own experiences. I bought the 4th ed PHB when it dropped. Because they had an online client, they were regularly making rules changes that were not just small clarifications or grammar corrections, but functional changes. Magic Missile is the best example.

Let's avoid hyperbolic exaggeration of harms as a means to belittle concerns. No one is claiming that buying a bad produce is equal to dying in a plane crash. I know it's the internet. Try to read scale.

It's a pointless binary to have the only choices be 'Perfection" and "Anything else". There is no perfect. There is a professional product being released at a significant price point by a multi-billion dollar industry leader. I will save my forgiveness for sloppy products for the indie projects...

Hoping this hits Florida at some point when I am visiting my in-laws.

YMMV. I just am flashing back to the online client for 4th ed where they kept going back and revising things. Sometimes just correcting typos sure. Other times just full on rules changes. Made the books obsolete. I'm more than resigned to errors in a print product. Hell, I played White Wolf...

Trying not to be enraged by this. Just feels like 4th ed all over again.

I went with 3. I try not to listen to the sky is falling talk, but I am not burying my head in the sand either. For me, the breakpoint will be how the game is monetized. Let me buy my books and play the game. Dungeons and Dragons was bigger than Gygax, bigger than TSR and will in the end be...

My wife was kind enough to snag 3 for me, using an app to aid in selections. Strahd, Tasha and Lady of Pain. They are a delight.

I wasn't being cute. The man literally wrote a racist poem. I can't even give you the title here. It will be flagged.

Lovecraft wrote racist poetry. That is proper dedication to racism. It was a feature of his character as a person. Yes, we can look at him in the context of his time, but when we do so, don't give him a pass, because in a sense it gives those times a pass.

People need to stop claiming there is no evidence when people keep responding, again and again, with said evidence.

So for context, I am a fan of Lovecraft. Got to attend Necronomicon in providence and even presented for the Armitage Symposium, dealing with Lovercraft's cosmicism as TTRPG narrative backdrop. When we appreciate the work of "problematic" artists, we can feel a need to defend our appreciation...

So I am curious. Are there existing good resources online dealing specifically with TTRPG crowdfunding? We see all these projects draw a lot of eyes during the funding rush, but rarely do I see much discourse on post fulfillment unless something goes disastrously wrong. The kinda info I would...

Anecdotal: A friend had a hybrid, not going into the model. One night while it was charging beside their home overnight the battery caught fire. The fire spread to their home. Everyone was able to get out ok and the house was able to be repaired. The lawsuit stalled when the slagged remains of...

"Minis?!? Why, we would have killed for minis! We had buttons! Buttons and pennies and bottle caps and dag gumit we were thankful!"

Amen. Look, if you have made your point to your satisfaction as clearly as you think you8 can, it is often better for your own mental health to just call it a day.

Mixed feelings on this. At one table, you get people pushing into the margins to do fun and creative things. At another table, you get people ruthlessly trying to exploit edge cases and interactions to wring every drop of power out of systems. Which one you may appreciate is going to be about...

So Morbius was bad, Madame Web was worse, will this one complete the prophecy?

So on reflection, and looking back at going through both edition changes and edition updates, I feel this is an edition update. It works like this: Mechanically, can I make older books work with the newer material? So say 3rd to 3.5, I can. Some things wont work or wont be worth it, but the...

Def gonna get at least a few of these.
