Sounds awesome. I’m sure you did great. The old Star Wars d6 is one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

The GG-related discord servers are being taken over by a wave of new posters all cheering on the decision and saying all the things you’d expect from the worst, darkest corners of the OSR. Many long-time posters on those same servers who’re calling out GG for this decision are being run off...

It's way more open. Daggerheart I think is maybe the aspirational or idealized version of the game they play. They're nowhere near as scene focused as the game suggests. Matt calls for way more rolls than Daggerheart suggests. Etc. As an example, the Haunted City environment is basically the...

No, he plays a Vorta in a Ferengi-heavy episode.

I'm looking more at the exploration environments. There's a total of four. This is their exploration pillar. To me it's a bit lacking. From the structure of environments it's clear these are thematically related moves and dangers and possibly adversaries in a set location. Throw in a difficulty...

Exactly. A campaign set in Sharn is going to be wildly different from a campaign set in Droaam or Karrnath.

Basically this. The "canon" of Doctor Who changes with every episode. What's true in episode 1 is false in episode 2 and legend in episode 5. It's best to avoid it altogether. As one example, there are multiple versions of Atlantis and the sinking thereof within a single classic series of Doctor...

The thing I'm interested in exploring is the idea of multiple campaign frames in one setting. It doesn't have to be one frame per setting. I think of frames almost like TV series pitches. This series, this story, is going to be about these things and these themes. But that doesn't preclude those...

It's not really any different than a wizard in 5E. You have a spell list (all possible wizard spells) and spells known (the ones in your spell book) and spells prepared (one's you can use today). It's no more complicated than that. In fact, it's far easier than that because your total number of...

Wow. It's really climbing on Amazon. Some online sales estimators put that #75 across all books at around 12,000 copies sold. Just on Amazon.

Well, the silver lining is you can spend your money elsewhere going forward. I know I will be.

Yep. People will bend over backwards to justify getting something they want. Just look at Goodman himself as one example. Getting to produce this book is clearly more important to him than his reputation and whatever customers he loses because of his continuing to work with a Holocaust-denying...

“You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don’t alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs changing.” —Doctor Who

Depends on how you mean willing. Paul McGann could said to have done so willingly by drinking the gin and juice on Karn. David Tennant in one of his finales willingly uses regeneration energy, but it doesn't trigger regeneration per se. Matt Smith willingly regenerates at the end of his run in...

“We were somewhere around Lundeth, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.”

I'm a series-and-a-half behind. But when I saw that big Doctor Who forum site go down I knew something was up and was spoiled for the end of today's episode. Clearly I need to get a move on. So wild.

Ah. I was taking those comments more in the vein of "a good PR person could put a shine on this turd and somehow make it all okay" rather than telling him to not do it in the first place.

Or you know...not gone into business with a Holocaust denying bigot.
