LITRPG is a genre of fantasy inspired by games and their rules, their universe generally includes a 'canon' rules system, although how that happens and how fundamental to reality that actually is differs between stories. The game rules do things like give the characters Skills, Feats, and Spells...

Heh, gotta be honest, I really love LITRPG-- I didn't think I would and there's a lot of it that's decidedly amateurish (in the sense that places like Royal Road are similar to fanfic sites to begin with) but The Wandering Inn, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and some of the higher quality litrpg anime...

hard disagree, country is the worst genre.

My experience of the Mythic Rules is that the most valuable part isn't really a full mythic campaign (which competes with our beloved Free Archetype) but the option to use the best parts of the provided material in a normal PF2e game. Which is good, because I have a couple of players obsessed...

Dungeon Crawler Carl is excellent, I read it after I caught up in The Wandering Inn (which is absolutely incredible, and also very TTRPG, set in a more traditional fantasy setting), Princess Donut really steals the show.

Personally I haven't been impressed with the WoD5 lines (especially not H5), and have been following Onyx Path's Curseborne, since I liked COFD, and this seems to be a cleaned up spiritual successor. Which follows on from what some of you guys were talking about-- Paradox is no longer approving...

Broadly I think that the difference between the current market and the 90s market is that while TTRPG is bigger now, there's more games too. DND is still the heavyweight, even though its taken hits lately, and they had some success with a slower production schedule (although personally, they...

Not yet, I got the same email you did, I haven't even looked at the start shipping date.

I think that the answer to that question hinges very heavily on the specific nuance of "PF2E design decisions that you feel aren't the Best Decisions for Starfinder 2e" like some people have said they feel that way, but their apprehension is usually before playing it, or is revealed to be based...

It do be like that sometimes, I got jump scared by my Lost Omens sub for Shining Kingdoms the other day, I'd literally forgotten about it.

Possibly, there's a lot I missed on my first run through the book-- I keep finding random feats that give ancestries more than two hands, and I've only recently read enough of Sarcesian to start falling in love with them after finding them a home in my homebrew world, Contemplatives were really...

We have been getting a fair bit of new content too.

Its the planet Apostae which dies have an entry, they're the same but just referred to as elves.

I'm hype for the archdragons in draconic codex, the wargamer article confirmed that each will have a big knock your socks off ability to make them memorable. Even if my current game falls through beforehand im feeling the call of high level play.

I like it as both a player and a GM, one of the big reasons is that I never really liked gentleman's agreements to control for optimization in a party, and I really enjoy the whole character optimization side, so the game having a no-nonsense attitude about game balance feels much better-- the...

I think its just her sense of humor and I don't think she really took it too far. I wouldn't say any of the other players felt uncomfortable with it for example-- I think she just had it in her head that she wanted to ham it up.

Its a little complicated, basically Luck has a standing grudge against the Japanese (from what I understand, due to historical stuff) and see's Japanese cultural elements from the space (e.g. fantasy samurai/ninja and stuff) to be racist against other Asians, so was using the concept of...

I think there's just fundamentally different dimensions to the concept of dead, but I think the biggest one is more or less which direction the factors are pointed in, in terms of it's community. It's possible for a game that doesn't get new product to be building on a healthy community, but...

I think it works well, the main piece of advice I can give you is to maximize your total number of focus points if possible as fast as possible because your lightning focus spell is so good but I'm not sure if that's the kind of thinking you were discouraged from. The only anti-synergy is that...

To me, it's a standard of discourse thing, most of the time when I see people drawing an explicit distinction, it's usually that they don't want to be held to the standard of a debate, but to my mind the standards of debate are just standards of validity and soundness-- I don't like leaving the...
