I don't see it as a loss for gaming if they also release their system - they literally are Yes And'ing themselves to possibly get more money. I don't see it as any different from a company making 5e books to 'keep the lights on' and then putting effort into non-5e systems.

I think that's because a lot of people don't realize Germany, as we know it, was not a thing before 1871. I feel like, at least in America, Germany is as old and settled as France or Spain or England

On a side note about Jane Austen, not enough people talk about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I've never read her works, but a dear friend told me this movie tracks with the books... with zombies added.

Matt Forbeck's Brave New World. Updated and broadened in powers. As well as the sequel that was going to be about just where all the Alphas went when Chicago got cratered with a nuke during the Bicentennial Battle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World_(role-playing_game)

This talk of Warcraft and D&D makes me wonder if we will see another Warcraft rpg, now that Metzen is back in charge of Blizzard. He does put out 5e stuff with his company Home Page - Warchief Gaming

I remember the old Diablo II books Wizards had put out and a lot of the fun from that came from rolling the random magic item abilities. Some, obviously, were super overpowered but some were just randomly cool like 'your character gets +3 levels worth of spells a day'

I don't feel there's a huge difference between his being a role model for a streamed game vs a home DM. Is he a lot smoother now? Yes, he's had a ton of time to practice. But if you've ever seen Ashley Johnson's video of the original home game before the SHITs were forced to become Vox...

Hand-wavy of me, but I could easily ascribe that to... they're alien intelligences. How many decades of science fiction movies do we have where we absolutely can't understand aliens. And that's before you even get into the weirdness of TNG and Darmok

That Gamera is full of turtle meat?

Not sure that's an apt analogy. Carpenter claims he wanted Halloween to be an anthology but got 'forced' to do II; Season of the Witch was supposed to be the yearly changing story

This is interesting to me because I'm pretty sure that the 1e DMG's example of play had a lot more of the DM asking for dice rolls, even bend bars/lift gates, so maybe it was more representative of actual table play. If memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure the location is the same between 1e...

While GURPS may be a foot note, I think it's managed to stay more in people's mind or peripherary than, say, Rolemaster/MERP or some other systems. I do have an issue with using Fallout as a benchmark. You say Fallout is a major gaming IP - and it IS - however, people playing Fallout 3/4/76...

There are some interesting ideas still, I think, in Guardians of the Flame. I'm a big fan of Doria's protection robes, how they're absolutely just soft normal clothes until something hits them; I always laugh at the scene where they're trying to figure out what to do, and one of the characters...

I think we'll see it, but maybe not in 'official' supplements/work. Who knows. It's a blur, but I'm pretty sure I lifted an idea like the quasi deities from a Dragon article when it had gone digital? It seems like it was about 'local' gods including the example of a venerated old tree which...

I think you're overlooking also Joel Rosenberg, I'd wager, is the Joel Rosenberg who wrote Guardians of the Flame, one of my favorite series I got into as a youth (at least the early books) For those unfamiliar, these college kids play a D&D type game with their professor, who starts up a new...

I would absolutely expect Sharn to have SWAT teams which are probably (former) adventuring parties. Look at Force Grey for Waterdeep - a higher level example, but... you have a ranger with two blink dogs, Khelben's apprentice, a frost giant, a priest, and a guy who commanded a djinn.

Maybe in addition to this, you need to consider Reservoir Dogs, where it's not about the thieves leaving as a group, but them meeting back up. The Watch will probably arrive in waves - like Mister Pink said, the cops who immediately were there were there because of the rat in the group, and...

I've been intermittantly playing but now I've finally uninstalled it. My game crashes any time I fast travel

We met a space Kardashian. (Traveller 2e, and not a Star Trek joke)
