That's not really meaningfully condescending though. It's not even truly unhelpful - it still helps other by illustrating and labelling a dangerously stupid person as a dangerously stupid person, because sane people think twice before joining the guy people called dangerously stupid. It just...

Not really though, given . I don't think that actually adds up. A lynching or murder or five sure. First off, they don't turn up until Second off, the To me it seems more like the vibe is that Your general point re: I will say whoever came to that scene after

Really?! I find that other people's well-explained and thoughtful opinions on things, even if I totally disagree with them, can be absolutely fascinating and meaningful, and tell me about both the piece of art they're discussing and often themselves, sometimes about their entire culture and...

My entire direct family is "sausage analysts" as it were lol, so yeah I grew up around people doing that constantly and kind of competing with each other to do it, and when I came to realize some people didn't like/get doing that, or thought it somehow "ruined" things I was quite vexed. Many of...

Apparently so! I'd say that was absolutely a thriller-esque situation - political/crime thriller/intrigue, specifically (it's an assassination/terrorism scene essentially, could fit in a gangster movie or politician/rule-centric one). Horrifying/awful is not the same as horror genre, otherwise...

Wait he realized ALREADY?! Oh well maybe I will get Ashes without Number when it comes out officially then. Cities Without Number definitely had some AI art and he was took the attitude of "Well it's not my fault if people use AI to make art I commission!", and it's like, the buck does actually...

Definitely this. One thing that I think can be quite interesting in this topic is revisiting the same thing at different ages, decades apart, and seeing how differently or similarly you react to all or part of it. Can really reveal what mattered to you about something, or where you were being...

Yeah we had one like that in the 1990s oddly enough, worked fine. Not sure why they went away.

Okay, but none of these are horror situations (which is the cause of this discussion), nor are they regular situations, so to me those aren't what we were discussing, but I guess we were talking past each other? Additionally, I think many/most groups wouldn't even bring all the PCs into them...

Horrible Roku stick that I hate but that technically does exactly everything I need so cannot justify replacing because any kind of actual upgrade is like, 3x the price. 4K on a 4K TV, nothing esoteric. I did have to mess around with setup a bit to get it to actually always do 4K I note. The...

I was doing that (well, Twitter not Twitch) but at a certain point - and I know this is very much a "me" problem not anyone else's least of all Matt's! - Matt's incredibly dubious (to me) and super-ultra-nuclear-gamma-ray level deep cut Gen X-ish musical and filmic (and videogame, for that...

Yeah action economy is major with healing, and is a part of game design that videogames, especially MMORPGs have been considering for at least 20 years, arguably more like 25+, but that TTRPGs seem to only have really started often considering in the last 5 or so years (notably 5E 2014 doesn't...

It's way deeper than that even I think! It's a fundamental part of Western (and I suspect Eastern, and probably African and Oceanian and Latin American too!) cultural heritage. Our mythology, our folktales, our fantasy fiction (and our sci-fi for that matter) all says "Don't eat unattended food...

I think depending on the project that can make complete sense. Especially if you're not interested in anything but the final product and completely trust the company to do a good job. With X Without Number products, for example, I'm not interested until it's done (I mean, to be fair I'm done...

I mean, was it? I'm guessing "No" because, for my money, that's deeply bizarre and counter-intuitive, not "very simple". It also requires PCs to eat unattended magical food in a magical place which is one the the "Top 10 Fantasy No-Nos" (way worse than splitting the party!) - usually that sort...

For a Kickstarter involving multiple millions of dollars, the updates have been exceptionally sparse and frankly unnecessarily limited. You can say "Um ackshully" the few updates they have made, but they have been low-grade. Unusually so. If you think this is a typical-quality for updates on a...

LOL yeah I've had the same thing happen and I also am not sure whether that speaks to my improv or my prep.

I am very confident it is "because they didn't think it through", because it's completely inconsistent with the unarmoured opponents in a way that the rest of the game isn't - it's not just asymmetrical in the way the game generally is. Guarantee that whenever DH2E comes out, if they still use...

Obviously I'm not saying that, least of all literally, so why claim I am? All you're doing is undermining your own position by casting yourself as someone not engaging in good faith. I'm saying that particular approach is mechanically completely unsound and the game is specifically not designed...

Maybe, we'll see if I run a mystery at some point. An awful lot of magic doesn't require Hope or Stress though, or is relatively socially/practically powerful for the 1 it does. Certainly more powerful than +2 to a roll would be. Druids I suspect will be very useful. You can do that, but it...
