Did we watch the same movie? This film was an absolute masterpiece and one of the best adaptations I've ever seen, possibly the best (up there with Amazon's Good Omens). The characters, setting and themes are translated to the silver screen with such elegance that this movie could functionally...

That was way faster than I had anticipated. Feels good to be wrong in this case, hope this means good things for the company and their people going forward.

Rejecting it full stop is extremely unlikely in my mind. My guess is the first rounds of talks will be “how many of your other demands do you want met so we can give them to you without any unions forming?” and be met with “naughty word you just recognize us now” in so many words. I’m expecting...

Jason was on a livestream with one of his old work friends and answered questions about the Union, the state of Paizo, and where things will go from here. Jason and Owen are cool guys, and they clearly want Paizo to succeed in the long run, they’re just frustrated there’s no process to improve...

Sounds like the workers know what they’re doing. That is beyond reasonable, I’m frankly surprised that wasn’t standard operating procedure. If the margins are that tight, renting a smaller, cheaper office and mostly remote workers sounds like a win-win for everyone.

I find most organizations that claim this are lying. It's a pleading of poverty to distract from the fact that funds have been mismanaged, usually in the direction of executives getting more than they're actually worth at the expensive of the other departments. Which is why I think the Paizo...

I think history has show that is definitely not the case. The strength and success of most institutions, companies included, is not the sum of the well-being of it's members. If that was the case abusive institutions that exploit or backstab their members and subordinates would fail, and...

I’m not so sure. The Paizo Union understands exactly what it wants and what needs to change. They have a pretty specific set of demands. Why should Paizo employees make their needs and priorities subordinate to the separate circumstances of others? Forming this union is already a measured...

Agreed. It's exhausting when every discussion of 2e and Paizo anywhere on this board becomes a debate about how hard Paizo is "losing" in sales based solely on some graphs from the Orr group. Same goes for fights about 4e; it's been almost a decade, please just let it rest guys. Absolutely...

Certainly in a state that demands reform, which is what is being asked for. Like Morrus said, the efficacy of unions is beyond the scope of this thread, but to put it simply, the unions people worry about are the huge corrupt ones like the US Teacher's Union and the US Police Union that...

I don't think anyone was seriously doubting there was truth to what she was saying, most of the complaints I read (and had) was about her proclivity for crude hyperbole and frustrating tendency to cast herself as an oppressed savior and almost everyone else as vicious accomplices of the forces...

I don't see how this could really be a bad thing in the long run. At worst it fails and a bunch of people leave, who then get replaced, and the company goes back to normal in a few months. At best it could facilitate some needed reorganization and workplace assurances. If there are tensions...

Matt’s setting is basically a home game extruded out into publishable size, absolutely. But it’s telling that it’s the first new setting that isn’t just a plug for MTG this edition. It’s also the only setting that has anything on Dragonborn, a phb race that wotc never bothered to marry with...

They would be right to think so. We know now Critical Role is the most watched and most profitable show on Twitch. Considering the massive amount of setting work Matt Mercer puts into his game, and the equally massive following he has acquired, it’s no surprise wotc has recognized CR as the...

xQc will always be remembered as the moron who got fool’s mated out of a chess tournament, despite being coached by one of the highest rated chess players in the world for that very same tournament.

Abomination Vaults is very good, I recommend it. It's written by a Paizo and industry veteran and it shows. I don't know of any official game manual that provides the correct answer to any and every conceivable scenario within it's system. Either there is no published system that meets your...

This is definitely the case, PF2e is more deadly and the way crits work makes numerical differences between the roll and the DC more impactful. I’ve had encounters go south pretty fast when the enemies get an early crit or two off. Ultimately I want those kinds of stakes in my games though, I...

"Hey Kosh, you're cute, wanna go on a date?" "RELATIONSHIPS ARE A THREE EDGED SWORD."

Maybe someone at CW was watching the Earth Gov plotline and thought it was topical. More seriously, if this is going to happen I hope the new Sinclair/Sheridan equivalent be more complex and less an outright messiah figure. This always bothered me. The show was great about portraying the...

I like Eberron as much as the next guy, but I can't imagine we will ever see a Wizards published Eberron book again for this edition of D&D. Keith Baker seems to be doing all the work for Eberron on his own, and we haven't seen any real interest or investment into Eberron from Wizards post...
