I think the guys name is Matthew but I forget his characters name. It was like “Glarg” or something. Anyways, I remember laughing about how often he lied about rolling 20’s. Core memories unlocked

That’s funny you mention Critical Hit. It’s the first podcast that got me into DnD when I stumbled on it in 2010. Only listened to first season but loved it

I'm always in the market to find a new actual play podcast to get into. Been trying to get season 1 of Not Another D&D Podcast to stick for me. 9 episodes in and it still hasn't won me all the way over yet. Really enjoyed Dimension 20 season 1 and CR season 1 (Only 40 episodes into season 2 but...

I agree with this. In my case I was a ranger in that campaign which I feel made it easier for me personally to just shoot an arrow or two from a distance. I'm sure I'd have been lost if I was running around getting into combat with different enemies. Also, when I was thinking back about this...

Put Children of Kerensky on hold and am starting with the Warrior Trilogy

One of the online campaigns I was in was all totm AND the group was extremely tactical in how they fought. I was always impressed with the DM and the players that it all worked so well. No one complained and no one felt ripped off by not having a map with actual measurements. It was the first...

Does this style make it really hard to keep up as the DM? I feel like I would never remember what happened in the previous session.

Agreed. Stress testing the limits of a video game on a PC/console to see if it breaks the game is different than getting extreme in a TTRPG that takes the game to a point a small small percentage of people will take the game to. Feel like you would want a maximum amount of right down the middle...

This is the info I need! Warrior trilogy en route. Now you've signed up for being my roadmap guide.

Children of Kerensky is the book my buddy recommended to me. So I'm just kind of starting there. Really want to get into the Battletech lore as he and I love playing the tabletop game.

Find a group of people that want to play a live game and DM it. That's the top goal. Side goal would be to DM a game of Star Wars (West End Games)

Currently reading through the Drizzt series. Actually really liking it. Just yesterday though I got a bunch of recommendations for the Battletech fiction books. Excited to dive into those ones.

Will the system affect wether or not you all listen to C4? I'm so far behind (still working through C2) and think I'm just going to start C4 when it starts. 4 hours for a week seems a lot more enjoyable that trying to binge as much as I can a week.

Totally agree. Personally I think the mechanics sound kind of cool! I need to sift through the Open Playtest thread. I do feel like CR always has really cool artwork attached to their name and although I realize that is nowhere near the point of their book it is something I'm looking forward to...

The pictures in this post are insane. Well done @darjr! This looks amazing

Alright! Excited to see how this goes. Also I do love the continued support to local game shops by releasing books there first. Very very cool move by the publishers that are doing this.

For SURE with this. Makes sense. I just don't know that I would try to undercut Monopoly at most turns because I like playing Carcassonne I hate that this makes all the sense in the world but it does in fact make all the sense in the world

Much appreciated. Excited about the discourse here. Going to try to get into DM-ing a game for buddies that don't know anything about the hobby so I know a lot of the threads here will be super useful. And I'm with you about the feeling of social circles being crossed. What a freaking weird...

Hahaha. This is what I hear. Without trying to derail this thread too far... Coming from a place in high school and through my 20's where I was embedded in the "jock-world" I unfortunately got caught up in the looking down on the "nerds" world (super regrettable and something that was great to...

For sure this makes sense but it comes across very petty. "Look at my game!!!" turns into "Look at my game because your game stinks". It's a weird vibe to watch as someone new. But your post made a lot of sense and it's a good pillar for a new person to grasp.
