The un-redacted after-action report? The Dracula Dossier

Is your player's character named Benny?

I double checked with the SRD -- a cleric without a specific god has been a 'thing' that's an option since 3.x at least. "If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, he still selects two domains to represent his spiritual inclinations and abilities. The restriction on alignment domains...

Maybe bring back the first-edition Sweep attacks where they're being mobbed by lower ability monsters, each attack becomes a close AOE effect.

Because new players haven't been shown how to homebrew? Probably why they put out an Acq Inc book and like seeing Exandria books - there are plenty of new-gamers who only know D&D through those things.

I agree. I wonder if the writing strike affected how hardball Netflix wants to play? I wonder, comparing this to the Dragon Prince rpg (Tales of Xadia), if anything is different in the contract language, if these 'NDA breeches' that supposedly happened during a con with Netflix there etc, if...

What this feels like to me, at a cursory glance, is the whole kerfuffle over Babylon 5. The nutshell of that was JMS trying to shop around B5 and taking it to Paramount, Paramount not wanting it but still having access to the series bible, and then... magically Paramount decides to make a Star...

Actually, you're human. I think a more apt version would be if you were a merman - half human, half fish. YMMV

I think the issue here is George Lucas specifically negotiated for the rights for toys. Possibly as a way to make more money that no one else valued as something to haggle for. Even better than that, look into how much money Sir Alec Guiness would have/did receive from Star Wars? By the time...

I wonder how many creations or inventions you see in the world like this, because it really also sounds like the Apple story with Jobs and Wozniak.

Exactly. One of the reasons was the invasion mechanic. In the 80s(?) they didn't think you'd try to commit genocide on a nation. The mechanics went like - Territory A can hold 8 people. There are 8 Greeks. You move 5 Germans into it. You each lose a person until the total was 8. So it...

"Civilization by Avalon Hill is an innovative board game with rich, strategic gameplay, embodying the rise and development of ancient civilizations. Players take on the roles of bygone cultures, expanding their territories, building cities, and trading commodities, while enduring calamities...

I hate how hard people want to go into the 'subvert expectations' thing in recent memory. I've never really thought about it until I'd discovered the podcast Babylon 5 For the First Time where two Star Trek guys finally sit down and get into Babylon 5. There are certain things they talk about...

You have to admit he was dead-on when he reviewed Pink Flamingos: I am not giving a star rating to Pink Flamingos, because stars simply seem not to apply. It should be considered not as a film but as a fact, or perhaps as an object.

Exactly this, I think. If hypothetically they brought back Dark Sun, they'd absolutely bring back Brom, even if his art style had changed to be more manga look and no longer looked 'Brom/Dark Sun'. And we'd be in the same boat we are now

I totally understand that, but my situation is that the more downtime I have between projects or work activity, it becomes increasingly hard for me to get motivated and have initiative to accomplish anything. Does not matter if I'm at my cubicle job or my grocery job - I'm terrible when famine...

I've been reading these comments, and I have been amazed at how composed and level they've been compared to OGL 2.0. Clearly, people aren't aware OR it hasn't clicked in people's heads about the costs

I think what will be interesting is if Lost Mines (original) remains available for beginners.

They probably are, and I think that's why it's kinda relevant. Yes, it's protecting the park and operators, but it's doing it by drawing attention to circumstances that could/will cause harm, and you are opting in (giving consent) to . I'll give a relatively local example. The haunted house...
