Honestly I'd rather have AI players. At least then they might bother to read the rules or jot a note down. "Computer make player two 24% less murder hobo and increase pop culture quotes by 13%"

I skipped this the first time as I know I would never have time to play it....but backed it this time even though I know I will never have time to play it.

I don't use gnomes.... Should be a poll options.

I've gotten much better about reading reviews and waiting to see what the public thinks. Not that I trust most of you. But I can read what you write and then see if something makes an informed opinion.

Yeah I don't want constant RP, some but not all the time. But I'm old. I want entertainment, I want to have meaningful choice as a player. and I want it to be a game. By game I mean one that I can lose.

My last campaign ran for 130 sessions and all homebrew adventures in a sandbox. I keep the prep for the second campaign going to avoid writers block. With the added benefit that I have a new sandbox ready when the old one ends. But also world building and prepping is something I really enjoy...

To keep burnout at bay when I am running a campaign I am always working on a second and sometimes third campaign. Helps to have two creative outlets. And then I have something I'm prepared for and excited about when I start a new campaign.

I started VTT using Maptools so I got spoiled as it was actually decent at making maps. It did a lot of things right and was 100% free. The hard part was hosting a game and getting everyone logged on. Roll20 made that part easy and thus rose to the top.

If there are three options and only one is a sandbox I'm always going to pick the sandbox.

It's a great idea. Which is why they keep going back to the well. Maybe someday someone will figure out how to make it work. They should open it up for third party to build modules and mods. Someone out there would do the work to build Castle Ravenloft in it.

I'm 'Merican and I have never seen tipping for a retail purchase. Only in food or on a service like a haircut, valet, taxi/rideshare, ect. But also tipping culture is getting weird.

I honestly assumed my 10 year old laptop wouldn't run it and as it was probably wasn't finished yet anyway so I should just wait a few months till they worked out the kinks. I'm not a marketing guru but maybe launching it with a full 5.24 adventure to show off the system and get people to try...

Seems like a weird time to fire 90% of your staff just weeks after launch but I'm not really sure how the video game/programing industry works.

I appreciate a solo combat exercise to learn the combat rules. Not an adventure just here is how combat works practice a couple of times so you don't get killed in the game.

My undererstanding is the players guide is just the new classes, new spells, and player facing setting info.

I've played 1e Tomb of Horror multiple times as a kid in the 80s and once as an adult in the 2010s. in the 80s I ran UK2 The Sentinel multiple times as it was the first module I owned. I have about 10 homebrew location based adventures I slot into any new homebrew campaign. Part of a good...

I didn't think I needed Shadowdark, but with 5.24e being even more high magic and cool powers than 5e I needed something more grounded. It can be hard to get people to play B/X so I'm hoping Shadowdark is my ticket. I day it every Shadowdark post, but I wish they had a players book with all...

I think 3.5 will come around as people get nostalgic. Eventualy we will see some 3.5 clones I'm sure.

We had a mode called "Fast Shadowrun" The investigation would enter a "montage" of the GM giving info and overview of the investigation with some dice rolls. The GM would throw out some "red herring" on bad rolls, but those just slowed down or took resources. " the bartender story about bug...
