As I see it, GG is a business. The goal of a business is to make money. If appealing to certain ideals makes money, a business will want to do that. If there is more money in ignoring these ideals later, they will be ignored. It takes some thick moral backbone to stand firm and let the money...

Very well put, I think this sums up my stance very well.

Finally found the time to watch it, was really interesting and entertaining to watch. The insight into how they got started, while anecdotal, was especially good.

Absolutely. At the arcane library, you can download the quickstart rules or something like that for free. They will get you to 3rd lvl, if memory serves.

Well, if the backers get the refunds from JG if they ask, and now they get the refunds from GG if they ask, my initial question still stands. How is that not money saved by JG? If backers don't get refunds from JG, its all clear. But what I read from comments in the other thread, they do. But I...

Thanks for the replies! But wasn't it stated in the other thread that you could ask JG for a refund and you would get it? Because it reads to me like GG has no info about the backers from the old KS, so you have to contact them. So I guess I am still a little confused.

What I don't get: If JG had to pay reimbursements, and now GG is paying the reimbursements (at least in parts), how does JG not profit from that? It's less money they have to pay. Maybe I am a little slow right now, can somebody explain it in easy terms? Hopefully, the net winners will be the...

I don't want to be rude or anything, but that seems like a lot of work for a result you already know you wanted before you started.

On the grand scheme of things, hard to say. But for me, absolutely right. the game went in a direction I have no interest in, which is totally fine. I think, though, if they went further than the little step, at least something interesting would have come from it. As it stands, to me it's...

Well, guess I am a Merry Mycologist now.

5e and the other, newer 5e. Don't worry about it, I tell you what to roll in any case. Yes, that is a 20 sided die. Did you add your profency bonus? Yes, now the six sided die. The normal one, yes that one! Now add your strength mod...

I checked the older issues, they are a piece of art. Probably need to sleep on it.

God, on the one hand, I heard a lot of good things about Knock! from sources I trust, so this comes at a great time. On the other hand, I promised myself to not buy any new hobby related stuff I do not immediately need. How good is Knock!, are all the past issues worth it? I am sure I won't...

Interesting, I only recently learned off this RPG. Sounds intriguing!

Let me know if you find out!

When I started playing with my kid (5) last year, I found that she could handle skill based characters very quickly, but had a harder time understanding class based designs/archetypes. This makes sense, because thus far we have not delved far into fiction. No idea how applicable this is to your...

1. Shadowdark 2. Mothership 3. D&D 2014 4. Kal-Arath 5. Solo Borg (once it is released) 6. Traveller 7. Ironsworn 8. Pirate Borg (gotta have pirates on an island, I guess) As book probably Ptolus - City by the Spire, and as luxury some dice. Surprised that I could easily fill the list, and have...

Hope I can watch it today, busy day. But open table play has me interested since reading The Alexandrians thoughts about it.

I'd argue that piracy is simply the first step in the process. They download the books without paying for them. How is that not piracy? If you can't ask ChatGPT to replicate the PHB, you can't use it to pirate it yourself.

I like to occasionally play solo to get my TTRPG fix when I otherwise can't. What I really like is using it as a backdrop for my ongoing campaign. I currently play Lichdom (well, haven't continued in a month or two. Seems I can't even get a group together if it's just me), and the journal I am...
