    Me: <building a wall> Anyone who can climb over this wall is welcome inside! You: That's gatekeeping! Me: It is emphatically not gatekeeping. Me: Gates have doors :cool:

    +1 for No Thank You, Evil. It's exactly the kind of scope and tone that the Cypher system is actually pretty good at. Also they add a fourth stat called "Cool" which basically boils down to "how good you are at helping other people" and that's such an awesome approach.

    I mean... there's a lot of different ways presented to approaching Eberron. Baker himself deliberately calls out how the Emerald Claw were invented just to create the possibility of the players doing heroic things for good and justice. The core ideas of the setting though have always been the...

    The shock face react is for the FR/Eberron comment, which is, uh... certainly a take, though I'm not sure I would consider it very well-informed. Maybe you need to get more into the weeds to see how wildly different the two settings are, though. I also found the content in Curse of Strahd to...

    That said, I would love a more modular take on 5e. More multiclassing-as-feats, broader selections of subclasses, etc.

    Oh. Yeah, as a parent, I can hard disagree here. And I say that as someone who loves BG3 and has no problem with adult content. D&D is, love it or hate it, still the brand ambassador for TTRPGs. Being family friendly is what has allowed it to flourish, especially in schools where studies are...

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    Yeah, every Mongoose d20 book I ever saw during the 3.X era has been dire, but I've absolutely loved everything I've gotten from their Traveller line at this point.

    Okay, so here's the thing. Whether or not THAC0 and descending AC are hard or difficult or even complicated is a matter of personal experience. That's different from an opinion; that these systems may have been simple and easy for Amy but difficult and complex for Beth is, in both cases...

    Jason Alexander really is extremely good. My favorite story from the show is from when the show is still really early on, and Alexander was having trouble wrapping his head around the character of George Costanza; he didn't act in a way that made any kind of sense to him. So Jerry essentially...

    Rand's hyper individualism is specifically not about isolationism because without other people there's nobody to exploit for your own benefit.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    According to IMDb, apparently Auntie Em was played by Nina Hartley, and absolute legend and incredibly awesome advocate for women in the industry (one of my best friends runs a non-profit providing health care advocacy for the adult film industry) and has nothing but great things to say about...
