The old formulation suggests that only the temporary hit points granted by Armor of Agathys trigger the damage. The new formulation suggests that any temporary hit points trigger the damage.

I found the first season to be pretty mediocre television. But there's a few moments I enjoyed and I was open to seeing what they'd do with the feedback. My girlfriend convinced me to watch the newly released season. I've been a lot of people saying it's better than Season 1, but I disagree. I...

My experience is that players don't care about the settings at the start, or at least most don't. But my experience also showed me that through play and time, you can reliable get them to care a lot about the setting.

I'd agree with this. The war between creatives and managers/marketing has always been strange to me, as I found myself on both sides of the fence and understand them quite well. The idea that if you leave creatives alone and let them do the products that they want to do will inevitably lead to...

In my case it has a big impact. But only on D&D as an actual product. It doesn't affect my interest in the hobby, other games and the books and editions I already own. I haven't bought a D&D product since 2020, an I don't see myself buying more in the years to come. There's just too many good...

I bought Mongoose 2nd edition earlier this year and I've been slowly prepping. I'm about to run it really soon. I'm really excited!

I wouldn't say unreadable. It's well written and I like the tone. If you sit down and read it linearly it's perfectly fine. However, the meandering of Crane's writing, the unnecessary complexity of some rules (or at least how they're presented) coupled with naming rules like "Let it Ride" mean...

I own all Starfinder 1st edition books. Haven't played enough for the amount that I sank into it. But I really love their setting and I had two amazing campaigns with it. I was very excited at the mention of a second edition. When they mentioned compatibility with Pathfinder 2e I thought it was...

I don't really watch the olympics, so what I'll share is pure dump of opinion for conversation sake. I never understood the presence of disciplines that are not objective in their results. For example, if there's an event to see who runs the fastest over 100m... it's simple. Whoever crosses the...

I enjoyed Civilization games. But I felt like Civilization VI was lacking in many regards; and they fixed it by releasing 53$CAD DLCs that were quite meager in content. I'm not excited for Civilization VII as I expect the same issue to just grow in magnitude.

I'm not gonna comment on the issues regarding Crane's relationship to Koebel. But the quote of Crane saying that DW needs a good editing pass leaves me hesitant. I absolutely love Burning Wheel, it's a great game. But all the Crane's products that I've touched severely lacked in editing. The...

I'm very curious about it. The price is steep though, and I know nothing about it. Will look for a review or preview.

We're gonna need another club. The 10 Million dollar club. This one is not exclusive enough anymore.

Have you ever read or played Burning Wheel? 😂

Suggesting that a design is right and that the majority of its user are just using it wrong is generally a sign that the design is not that great.

When I was much younger, I was doing worldbuilding. I wanted to created a cool title. Looked a bit into other languages and learned that Kaiser meant emperor. So I made the title Allkaiser. I thought I was witty. Later, I decided it looked cooler with one L. So, if you had the title, you there...

Always love a large map.

It didn't seem so aggressively monetized to me. Of course the cards are pricy for what they really are, and they didn't shy away from the rarity dynamic to drive up the price of cards. But it still felt like they wanted to make the best possible product and just released more of it to increase...

Possibly. It felt like that by moments, but it was never obvious. They were limited by their success and the moderate size of their industry. Now that they've exploded in value and that they have the means to choose a path, they made it obvious. Their recent aggressive monetization of Magic the...

The topic has been cleared many times. I was not the best at explaining my point succinctly, but others did. You want facts? In the last two years WotC proved to us that they're a hyper-corporate environment that puts their profit before their customer, the quality of their product, the...
