Clearly discouraging anyone from owning and buying a book is not a good business model. What people forget is this was not the modern age of big business RPGs…these folks were the first generation. I think this was being treated as looking at the DMs notes behind the screen. Owning the dmg is...

No and we don’t. But…if my goals are to wargame, I won’t accept the OPs explanation no matter how artful. Its just a mismatch in desired style and approach and it’s ok.

Part of the disconnect is probably about the nature of the challenge and not the language used. When people are hoping to level up and get better gear, it’s to better face the challenges that already exist. There is a belief or hope that the world “is” and that they need to be ready for it in...

That unfortunately sounds like a mismatch in gaming preferences. It reminds me of people who only play say euro games being expected to play some traditional wargame or worse one that is traditional and has player elimination. It is just not a fit. The jargon…I admit it’s not rational but if...

Dunno man. We had the same issue with Samsung. We bought the most basic thing possible to replace it… Unfortunately I learned a lot of old reliables have been replacing metal parts with plastic too. Disposable everything. Might as well get the cheaper version if they are all trash.

I kind of like that but wonder how it would play out in very remote regions. Short rests and hope for the best? Sure makes it more challenging. What about big dungeons? Would you allow resting outside the dungeon at camp if creatures are not assailing them? Not criticism, just thinking of...

I was going to skip breakfast but all of these posts about pizza combinations has me ready to rummage. None of them mentioned pineapple. Not a coincidence…

My friend uses a tv hooked to his computer sunk in a table (I use physical terrain when it’s my turn to run). He let us play a party of duergar Saturday…here they are on the digital map!

I don’t think he was mean to well meaning players based on anything I have heard… I think he let some of them find “consequences” but then it happens. DMing my kids 6 months ago they decided to negotiate with a burger on the bridge which was good since some were dozing under it! They would...

I am ready to be mocked for this…. But I see his body of work as not dissimilar from the work of philosopher, theologians and even some revealed religions in this: His thought and audience was evolving over time. As such, there are some great pearls of wisdom and some ideas that were evolving...

When you want beer flavored water, nothing else will do! Unless you like something else better. Wait…

You know…it depends on the goal. Cheap macro brews on ice are…nice.

I finally got my hands on one. A coworker constantly comes in my office talking about how “great” some new powerful thing is. “Yeah they are great you can get x attacks now and do y damage!” The whole time I am left wondering why that would necessarily entice me but 🤷‍♂️ So I got my hands on...

All duergar party, fun dungeon

Yeah and for the purpose. I don’t want 5e/2024 to be a hard core simulation. I want it to play quicker and easier than 3e/4e but have more dials than 1e. For me that purpose it works…but I get it when folks want something else 100%

Think you misunderstood. I was saying that too. Some people have very specific interests and this game not meeting that taste may say nothing about quality. Other games probably do a better job for them.

How is the consumer using the product? What do THEY want? I like to drink coors light. It is good if I am thirsty. I can swill on them over a game session without getting wrecked. It’s smooth and cool and 50% of t he time it works every time. But when I read beer advocate etc I see I am...
