I drink and make bad choices.

Absolutely pitch perfect! 10/10, no notes.

Not to go full Ouroboros here, but there is a thread on the WFRP subreddit referencing this interview and there is a big tangent about how this one dude saw Daniel Fox be a jerk to a barista at a cafe in 2018 and that gives me endless joy. IYKYK

I always found Scrap Princess' art to be terrible childish splatter, and she's all over every trendy OSR book, so it definitely can work. That may not be a popular opinion.

Speaking of RPGs and Germany I've been trying to convince my groups to give Das Schwarze Auge a try. And man, it's a hard road. Turns out, nobody wants to roll D20s three times while spending metacurrency to augment each roll and then using the leftover currency amount to gauge the degree of...

There's a "miniature game" called Beer and Pretzels where all units are represented by literal pretzels and cans of beer. Let's normalize that.

I mean, where do we draw the line? To your example, is Dragonbane a Runequest "rip-off" because it has ducks in it still? Over the editions it's become less and less Runequest mechanically.

Yeah, I'm just saying I don't make the switch while playing AD&D because... I'm lazy.

I don't like Zweihander or Daniel Fox particularly but this is such a weird tack to take, imo. I mean, that's like most games? Like, should we boycott Rifts (not for the other, many and valid reasons) but because at its core it's house-ruled AD&D? What about Delta Green? I could go and on here.

I absolutely agree with most people here. It absolutely requires nothing. All you really need is a notebook and pencil and some sort of random number generator if you're willing to do work. If you're willing to do less work you can buy a couple books and just play forever. It's how we did it in...

I know Evil Hat publishes non-FATE stuff like Monster of the Week and what not, but honestly surprised this isn't running on some version of FATE. Are they stepping away from it?

What, having a 30% chance to climb walls at level 10 not good enough for you?

Yeah, it makes sense from a business standpoint as it absolutely was a WFRP clone at conception, that is indisputable (see its multi-year development on Strike to Stun). But once WFRP 4e came out removing it from that origin made sense, as well, you can just play that and not have to re-skin...

That's a fair point. I was referring to prose and images generated by AI directly. But yeah, I mean, at this point you can basically just have Grammarly write for you, so

If I'm paying for a product there should be no AI derived content in it. I can just prompt AI tools myself, not going to pay you for it.

Ascending. I only use descending when I'm literally playing AD&D. Any of its clones that use ascending AC or allow for the option, I do. It's AD&D with added spreadsheets.

Those are just the Impact Miniatures dice in a different tube sleeve. They are the most common iteration. There are also the Zocchi versions, which I prefer. And were the only game in town when I started. If you don't like the shapes of the Goodman/Impact ones try the Zocchi ones as they are...

Yeah, that's true. I'm not saying it's too much crunch for me ( I like a good FATAL circumference table) but just marked it as odd considering his rather vociferous contention when I talked to him about too much prescribed specificity in RPGs. That said my biggest complaint about Shadow of...

I find it kind of strange that what started of as "Shadow of the Demon Lord but with the all the icky setting stuff taken out for people who hate fun" turned into "Shadow of the Demon Lord but with all the icky setting stuff taken out for people who hate fun, but also lots more crunch". I...
