Great thing is, I don't even know what this infamous fight is so looking forward to finding out :)

Just want to say really appreciate this Lets Play as such, I have GOG and Steam versions of these games, have briefly played POR with a couple of random encounters in the slums (and relearning pitfalls of aoe spells and friendly fire) but don't have much opportunity for gaming with a 1 year old...

I guess the question for me is if they do know what they're doing, and have all this experience, why this year did they choose to override prior / established procedures to remove certain pieces of literature from the voting process? Why is this the only year with these apparent issues, when...

I believe they overlap development times though? Quick google suggests origins was 4 years, odyssey on similar engine 3 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_Origins#:~:text=Ubisoft%20Montreal%20led%20its%20four,authentically%20represented%20in%20the%20game. 'Ubisoft...

I don't know, I usually agree with a lot of your posts, even if you play games I don't like to play, but really I thought Lanefan's posts were a good example of how unclear 'if you do it, you do it' is without context, and too often it seems the phrase is given without context. So it warranted...

I don't know, I don't think dice rolling necessitates a victory / defeat scenario. To put forward my rough understanding of GNS stuff, based on these threads, and using what is probably an awful analogy, Game of Life: Game of Life as it stands is very much gamist, with a lot of RNG, but...

Talking about copyrights for photos puts me in mind of below case around a red bus on Westminster bridge, noting that it is more than just photography in play as some further adjustments needed to make end result, but interesting case nonetheless...

Just doesn't feel that Ben has paid much attention to the publicly available playtests. I guess there is potential they will decide to diverge massively from where the playtests are landing, which would open up a number of the above risks, but if they stick to what they are currently showing...

I don't think all the PHB sales occurring now / last couple of years are to the existing customers, otherwise I would ask why they are churning through PHBs so quickly. But if they were, then the updated book should sell just as well to these customers churning through their books? Otherwise...

Especially when original comment was that 'lied about capitulating' drawing a direct line between lie and falsehood.

I think there is a difference between breaking a promise you had an intention to keep, then making a promise you never intended to keep- the latter is a falsehood, the first isn't to my mind. Yes it turned out wrong, and people should explain why / look to rectify where can, but it doesn't make...

Was going to say, my kids still enjoyed toys, but it was very much concentrated on Lego, thanks to the great variety of sets you can get these days, and with all them the potential to build what you want, rather than other toys being somewhat more locked in as such. In addition, for the ones...

I don't think any particular RPGs, but I do regret getting rid of all the 3e forgotten realms setting books we had, while we wouldn't go back to 3e I did enjoy reading the lore and think could repurpose a chunk for 5e, while also ignoring spellplague / sundering etc.

In our own country Zardnaar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Maunganui_(mountain) The main thing generally though is to make sure it isn't a K'Chain Che'Malle device instead (having just read some Malazan books)

An interesting OP I think, and I have a few thoughts on it, forgive me but this may get a bit meandering :) Leaving the physics side to the side, I think there can be a bit of a blur between World and Story, depending on the game and how 'world shaking' it is as such. The more 'down to earth'...

Been pondering this one, and I'm not one to play fighters typically, and we don't tend to play beyond 11th / 12th level to see where problems really arise, but when I think of a good fighter, I'm thinking someone who is fast /instinctive and dangerous in combat, able to take on multiple...

One point in Disney Plus' favour for our household, is that they will be streaming Doctor Who outside of the UK.

Definitely excited. I haven't played other FF games really, but I love FFXIV for its world, characters and story. I tend to play it as a huge single player game with some forced group content (joined a great free company to help with that though), so don't play it continuously like I do...

Interesting, just grabbed a whole lot of Trail of Cthulhu stuff from humble bundle - may have a good deal there as doing 2nd edition, between that and looking to back Cohors Cthulhu soon when that comes to Kickstarter, feels like if can convince people to play it will be dabbling a bit into...

I think there is more room for gaming the DM in the more traditional style RPGs, e.g. where people reward role play over roll play, so people really good at former can end up having Charisma, Wisdom and Intelligence as dump stats, but still end up managing to convince / negotiate etc well thanks...
