Not really, no. I ran a playtest game with six PCs. I did the math on the encounter and even shaved off a few points to make it easier. The fight was in two waves, a bunch of mooks and a solo monster. The PCs grinded through the mooks in two easy rounds, with minor damage at worst. Then the...

I was wondering about that given their hiring of Perkins and Crawford. Best of luck going forward Ian, you make some great games.

If you have a certain look and live in certain cities you will often be pursued by bears.

Bonus Action and Knights of the Last Call as well.

You mean beyond all the other huge problems like copyright violations, IP theft, etc? Also, LOL.

Despite owning and having read several books on organization schema and having taken the quite fancy sounding "Theory of Organization of Information" class for my MLS, my books are roughly sorted by a dozen different schema at least two of which are variations on "whatever shelf had room at the...

Entire shelves of books have been written about organization schema for books and libraries. Not surprisingly there are classes on it in librarian school.

At the very least he sat next to Jennell Jayquays and lied about either never working with Bledsaw again or lied about not having any outstanding contracts / planned work with Bledsaw.

Just leaving this here…

Exactly. High-minded literature sucks because it’s largely plotless and boring like large stretches of real life. The stuff that makes for a good life makes for a terrible book. And vice versa. Except for the naughty bits. Those are always fun.

I’m arguing against books without plots. They typically have the label “real literature” attached by snobs. And can generally be found in the general literature shelves in bookstores. Beyond that, I got nothing.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen the boxed set.

Yeah. Stories with a ripping plot can use emotional beats between story beats to give the characters depth and let the story breathe. Stories that focus only on character without the plot? No thanks. It’s not emotion or thinking I object to, it’s lack of interesting or engaging plot. Which...

Eh. To each their own. Genre and other modes of classification are quite useful distinctions to me as it at least roughly outlines what to expect in a piece. Fiction vs non-fiction. Murder mystery vs romance. Fantasy vs historical. Sci-fi vs western. Sometimes I’m in the mood for one but not...

Yeah. I'd rather have a ripping yarn that's well written with evocative prose over anything that makes the stuffed shirts drool. Getting a couple of degrees in literature absolutely killed my snobbery for "real literature." Save the navel gazing for the philosophers and get on with the story. If...

It’s exactly as deadly as an individual player wants. When you hit zero HP the player makes a death move. They pick one of: get a crit and die, survive but KO’ed and scarred, or a 50/50 get back up and fight or die outright. They always have that choice. There’s no instant death outside of the...

Is it taco Tuesday again? Hot damn.

It's now listed as "in stock" but the earliest delivery date has been pushed back again to July 1.

Yeah. They’re just 5E players trying to play 5E with 2d12 instead of a d20. The second there was even the hint of a problem that couldn’t be solved with either fighting or talking they literally gave up. A few threw up their hands and quit. FFS.
