Possibly, there's a lot I missed on my first run through the book-- I keep finding random feats that give ancestries more than two hands, and I've only recently read enough of Sarcesian to start falling in love with them after finding them a home in my homebrew world, Contemplatives were really...

We have been getting a fair bit of new content too.

Its the planet Apostae which dies have an entry, they're the same but just referred to as elves.

I'm hype for the archdragons in draconic codex, the wargamer article confirmed that each will have a big knock your socks off ability to make them memorable. Even if my current game falls through beforehand im feeling the call of high level play.

I like it as both a player and a GM, one of the big reasons is that I never really liked gentleman's agreements to control for optimization in a party, and I really enjoy the whole character optimization side, so the game having a no-nonsense attitude about game balance feels much better-- the...

I think its just her sense of humor and I don't think she really took it too far. I wouldn't say any of the other players felt uncomfortable with it for example-- I think she just had it in her head that she wanted to ham it up.

Its a little complicated, basically Luck has a standing grudge against the Japanese (from what I understand, due to historical stuff) and see's Japanese cultural elements from the space (e.g. fantasy samurai/ninja and stuff) to be racist against other Asians, so was using the concept of...

I think there's just fundamentally different dimensions to the concept of dead, but I think the biggest one is more or less which direction the factors are pointed in, in terms of it's community. It's possible for a game that doesn't get new product to be building on a healthy community, but...

I think it works well, the main piece of advice I can give you is to maximize your total number of focus points if possible as fast as possible because your lightning focus spell is so good but I'm not sure if that's the kind of thinking you were discouraged from. The only anti-synergy is that...

To me, it's a standard of discourse thing, most of the time when I see people drawing an explicit distinction, it's usually that they don't want to be held to the standard of a debate, but to my mind the standards of debate are just standards of validity and soundness-- I don't like leaving the...

I try not to get into the weeds of "Isn't Debating" and don't tend to approach the concept of debate as discrete from other forms of persuasion or exploration, debate is simply expressing and supporting a position from the perspective of contrasting it with other possible positions.

I always preferred the franklin forum model: "all debate seeks the truth" thats what I did in High School, discussion forum of the day's issues.

I think I agree with some of his actual points regarding not trying to force the GM to play what you want, and the basic etiquette that players should be more willing to run games, but the tirade about who Matt feels is entitled to complain and more specifically who isn't had me rolling my eyes...

Audible wasn't around in 2012, so I'm not sure thats a good suggestion for OP.

One thought is that last I checked, romances are pretty popular with men, just not in the novel space-- in the anime/manga space plenty of men are obsessed with their risque romcoms, VNs are an entire genre which more or less thrive on being multiple choice romance novels (though there are some...

I've been obsessing over the Wandering Inn and Dungeon Crawler Carl for a while now, so litrpg apparently. Orconomocs was a great recent series. More objectively, Dungeon Crawler Carl is flying off the shelves at the library, as are the Legends and Latte books in that I haven't ever physically...

I actually wouldn't be shocked if it's easier to do PBTA, unless existing "writing AI" development rams headfirst into a wall, they can already generate narrative flow and dialog based on a prompt, or switching between datasets to emulate different characters. The reason crunchy games are harder...

One thing I thought about a lot when I was listening to this, was that for the most part I agree with him, except I don't think that his "getting back to the basics" and anti-playing-for-rules ("why am I adding numbers as a barbarian!?") works very well for a significant portion of experienced...

Generically I enjoy the game's magic items, there's a lot of niche items, but there's also a lot of powerful ones-- everything from the practically mandatory runes you put on weapons (flaming/frost/ghost touch etc) staves and wands that help you manage spells or specific powerful magic weapons...

My reaction word for word pretty much.
