    Degenesis RPG is discontinued

    I saw the name before, but it never picked me interest. But a friend of mine told me he was considering getting it. Degenesis RPG will be discontinued as the publisher calls it a day I don't know if the publisher had created games before, how long the game ran before turning to a...

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I enjoyed it. I agree that I don't think Travis' character is what he'll play. I don't know if that means that he'll have his real C3 character pop up sometimes later, or if he'll be playing some NPCs and other characters for Matt, or if it's a West Marches style of game. I enjoyed all of the...

    D&D General Lorraine Williams: Is it Time for a Reevaluation?

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It's an era I know very little about. I will Peterson's first book and will definitely look into this one.

    Paizo Paizo Workers Unionize

    That's exactly what I said. The issue is bad management. Crunch is a consequence of it. As are bad decisions like releasing your game when it's far from being a finished product. Extreme crunch will absolutely destroy your team's morale and will eventually hinder the product. But once again...

    Paizo Paizo Workers Unionize

    The state of Cyberpunk 2077 is not a product of crunch. It is a product of bad management and releasing an unfinished product. Crunch is also a product of bad management and unrealistic deadlines. But crunch itself, in a vacuum, doesn't lead to bad games.

    Starfinder When players ask "leading questions" rather than just saying what they want to do.

    In my experience, these veiled questions came from a place of lack of trust. Either they were players I had never played with, or maybe I had made a bad call a few sessions earlier, or wasn't in my usual good shape. They fear you shutting down their plan and want to get a firm information from...

    D&D 4E Inquiry: How do 4E fans feel about 4E Essentials?

    Overall, I'm pretty neutral. But do understand that at the time, I had splurged an obscene amount of money on 4E books as WotC bombarbed us with material over three years. I played a ton of 4E, had some of my best TTRPG moments with it. Then, a mere three years or so after I got into it, they...

    On GMing Advice

    You're right that all learnings as a DM take a long time because of the frequency of play. Some things are just internalized through trial and error while playing. You develop experience and a sense. When it comes to concrete advice (from someone, or from a media source) I agree that it's a bit...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - 5th Edition Survives! [+]

    I enjoyed 4E as much as 3.5E. But if you were to ask me today, in 2021, I would glady play 4E again but I have no interest going back to 3.5E. But I know 4E is disliked by many. Out of all the editions I enjoy, I'll try and keep it alive because it deserved better than what it got.

    I went shopping today…

    You have the best books in my opinion. Aside from that you have... Starship Operation Manual, which is good if you intend to spend a lot of time in space doing space battles. I would suggest holding off and trying the space battle rules before. Lots of people did not enjoy them. If you don't...

    What's your proudest DM moment?

    I posted this in TTRPGs General. Moment from any tabletop RPGs are welcome! So, the question is simple, what's your proudest DM moment? I often share stories with other DMs I know in person. All DMs are different, so are their players and the games they play. So if can be any of these things...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Kobold Press] Book of Ebon Tides: 5th Edition enters the Plane of Shadow!

    I'm going to give the same feedback I've given in almost all of Kobold Press' kickstarters in the past two years. By reading the kickstarter page, I know I how many pages the books have, I know the general theme, I know that there's character options, and monsters. But I have no idea what the...
