One can read the major works of Marx and come to quite different interpretations of those works and can agree or disagree with the main ideas. If you look at the history of Marxist thought, it proliferates rather than consolidates, with different philosophers emphasizing different aspects and...

Yes, basically it’s a handful of house rules

I need to just stop glancing at that thread. Those kinds of spaces only exist for people to repeat their own calcified opinions while somehow feeling both smug and victimized.

So what's the "big picture" and story of everyone's megadungeons? Do you have one yet, or are you just adding rooms and building things up slowly? What sorts of factions (if any) are the major players?

Has anyone played Urban Shadows? That's one game I really want to try

Let's call them "munchkins"

I did notice this in the rulebook, that they almost played up the violence/colonialism of the game.

I somewhat hastily caught up, and then some, but also have come to a decision about my #dungeon23 project (see below) First, we have a revolutionary group called R.A.T.S (Revolutionary Alliance of Tacticians and Saboteurs) that operates a restaurant in the city, from where they spy on the...

One tip for any evil cult leader is to periodically go around your lair and review all your idols. Ask yourself, "does this demon idol spark joy?" If not, thank it for its service, and send it back through a portal to the abyss.

Just found out that Caverns of Thracia has 117 keyed locations, or about 1/3 the number of a completed #dungeon23 project...

I've played Brindlewood Bay with multiple groups and each has been totally charmed by it. The most appealing thing about it is the theme: Murder She Wrote and Golden Girls meets Lovecraft mythos. The most innovative thing about it is that there is no canonical "solution" to the mystery...

Attack the character sheet. Mausritter (an Into the Odd hack), for example: After you run out of hp, remaining damage goes to your Str score. This doesn't limit your ability to do damage in combat, so you are still effective that way; also, HP can be regained on a short rest. BUT, Str...

Separately, the amount of complaining on the Necrotic Gnome discord right now is crazy. It bears a large resemblance to the anxiety about onednd and compatibility. Which is ironic, because you would expect this to be a group of people who don't play by the book or put too much faith in...

I like the simplicity of race-as-class, where (in OSE) you just have a two page spread with all your possible character abilities. Gavin was saying maybe he would include that option as a pdf which would be great. Oddly, I'm most curious about this: The treasure tables are very non-intuitive...

It's been acknowledged the the 2017 genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar was supercharged by facebook's algorithms spreading misinformation. Certainly we've seen many other examples of how misinformation spreads on social media. I can see a future scenario when misinformation spread by...
