Okay, then. I, on the other hand, can only speak to my experience of having actually played through 1e for years, because I am, sadly, old as dirt. Of course choices and consequences matter. In fact, they matter more. In 1e, we all rolled for ability scores, with consequences that lasted...

"Life sucks" so your game that you play to have fun should also suck?

Yes, but this was just as true for monsters (especially higher level monsters and characters), so you'd have to change this as well. We seldom used it either. Wasn't fun. Same. I was both, but more of a DM. Monsters, like players, had far less HPs but also had some scarier abilities, like...

This trailer made me get off the fence and decide that I do, in fact, want to see this movie in theatres if the reviews are strong. Definitely not an opening weekend film for me, unlike Fantastic Four.

This is hard to take seriously. First, it makes me doubt that you actually know much anime - if you are familiar with even just Miyazaki's work and dismiss it out of hand, then...yeah. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, I guess. Secondly, doubting the sincerity of anime's fans and...

Can't really argue, and I like The Doors. Most of Morrison's lyrics are high school poetry level. He's still iconic - what a frontman!

That sounds about right. I think the main appeal was that you got to roll lots of dice!

Speed paints for the base with a bit of highlighting and dry brushing after.

1e recommended FOUR methods: My group sometimes used method I, and more often method III.

We did that in 1e - that was a pretty common practice. If you're really going to make it like 1e, the party has to have a ton of hirelings. Basically, minions you can hire for cheap that will do anything you ask without question. That's how so many of our 1e characters survived to have long...

It’s a good movie but far from the best of that year or Scorsese’s career. But AMPAS likes to recognize icons that have been overlooked, so it was a good excuse to get Marty his Oscar. Not to mention all the heavy hitters in the cast out there lobbying for it. Kinda like Dicaprio for The...

Except...as far as I can make out, that experiment is about seeing if people would recognize Henry Cavill the actor, not if putting on a pair of glasses will prevent people who know you extremely well from recognizing you. I only wear my glasses some of the time, but I've never put them on and...

Not as unhinged, but yeah.

Yeah, you're right. Still, I would like it, if only for cultural reasons - would make traveling a lot easier. Now if only we could adopt EU attitudes towards public transit... The downside is that means higher prices, almost for sure. Significantly so, most likely. It's hard to see any way out...

Yeah, I think it was more this - as the podcast makes clear, Gygax seemed oblivious to the idea that he could ever lose control of TSR...which is why he eventually lost control of TSR. Still deceptive, and I'm definitely not defending him on this, but I think in his personal narrative it was not...

In a decade we might be in the EU, so...

Last chance to back: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/archon-studio/dnl7-porthaven I'm a huge fan of their work, and they always overdeliver, on or ahead of schedule.

For miniature collectors and painters: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/archon-studio/dnl7-porthaven It's been very successful and is now in "overtime," which means you can still back and get a pretty sweet set of stretch goals - I am buying two core sets which, with SGs is well under a...

Yeah, having the word "invisible" in there still needlessly complicates things.

Hmmm...I think it kind of depends on your job. I do kind of think of teachers a subculture, and I suspect that's true of quite a few professions. My dad and father-in-law, not to mention my spouse, for a time, were fisherfolk, and that is very much a definable subculture, IMO!
