    Dice with character...when is using them cheating?

    That's pretty much where I'm at, and I say that as someone who was once the most diehard of dice fairness enforcers. Once, my collection was only precision, unused casino dice and painstakingly polished Gamescience dice. But in a world where most folks grab a Chessex or knock-off set, I realised...

    Dice etiquette, rules, and superstitions

    I assumed it was a jest. As all of my replies bar this one have been. ;)

    Dice etiquette, rules, and superstitions

    Psst. It's spelt with a k, not an e. Spelling error aside, you are correct; that sort of interaction must be agreed to first.

    Dice etiquette, rules, and superstitions

    1) Rolls must be on the table to count. Dice trays eliminate this issue (and protect the table). 2) Cats are untrustworthy players; choose better sorts to game with. Such as retrievers. And folks who like dice trays. 3) Train your golden to retrieve (it's in the name!), not eat the dice; a win...

    Is Evil Genius Games Doubling Down On NFTs & Blockchain?

    I don't know enough about tech bro rubbish to state this with authority, but it feels to me like he got together a pitch and supporting materials awfully quickly for someone who (according to his own answer in the AMA) said he wasn't there to enter the competition. Especially because, according...

    Evil Genius Games Attempts To Remove Bad Press [Update--And Then Adds Legal Threats!]

    I meant it more along the lines of the question: "Where did the money go?" Because if a sizable chunk went to funding his lifestyle while simultaneously not paying employees, that would be even worse. If that was the case, ultimately it doesn't matter then whether it's his personal money or not...

    Depends on what kind of salary he also awarded himself, I suppose.

    D&D 5E (2024) What is With Poison?, and Other PHB Conundrums.

    I think the issue with poison is that it spreads so quickly because it's catchy. I mean, it's like... "It's poisoooooon! Poison running through my veins! It's poisoooooon! I don't wanna break these chains!"

    Evil Genius Games Attempts To Remove Bad Press [Update--And Then Adds Legal Threats!]

    Paraphrasing here: "You raised 1.5 million dollars (a vast sum for a TTRPG company). According to the ENWorld report, a few months later you couldn't even afford to pay staff and they were working unpaid. If this is accurate, what happened to the money?" This was after he'd told someone else in...

    What’s good about Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed? (and what’s not)

    Do we know how the new edition of Trail of Cthulhu is shaping up? I know some of their scenario and setting supplements have been second to none. I'm curious how they're improving it.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, said guy was reportedly using a lot of bots to shill his stuff on Bluesky and promised action when called out for issues with them. Only to turn around and ban the guy who called him on the bot use, apparently.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Is Almost Upon Us! Discuss What You Want

    Damn, I was hoping it was imminent and I had simply missed the info.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Is Almost Upon Us! Discuss What You Want

    I may have missed it, but is there an actual release date for S3 yet?

    D&D Forums and Spam Threads

    Yeah, I'm going to say it's a clear DDOS attack too.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's not regular spam, imho, it's a bot attack. So, do we know anyone who's petty, has reason to bear a grudge against ENWorld, would benefit from it being swamped right now, and has the technical knowledge to do it (or the crypto currency to pay someone else to)?

    Apparently I was incorrect (I was blocked by Scott. I guess my question was something he couldn't face, even though it was polite). He is still answering there.

    Edit: Apparently, I was blocked by Dave, so his posts and account showed up as deleted to me.

    Edit: My mistake. It appears I have been blocked on the AMA by Scott, my guess is for asking tough questions. And I wasn't impolite in any sense.
