This point is spot on. D&D predates computer/console games and MMOs but many of them use a system very close to D&D's levels and they do it because it works and players like doing it. Leveling your character, gaining new powers or abilities, getting more hit point, etc is something player's...

I so don't miss the technobabble of the TNG era. I usually found it more distracting than anything else.

You just depressed the hell out of me.....

There was a time where that might have been true but with the availability of older versions of D&D on places like DriveThruRPG and eBay combined with the OSR movement that history isn't likely to die anytime soon. Plus, there will always be a portion of the gaming community that is interested...

It's a prequel to the original series. It's the adventures of the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Pike, the commander before Captain Kirk.

It seems to me this ends up being where the problem lies. All of the editions of D&D are so different: BCEMI from 1st & 2nd ed from 2nd ed with Skills and Powers from 3.x from 4E and from 5E. Some of the changes between editions are so radical that it becomes easy to say "I liked this more" or...

I've never played any version of Rifts, including the Savage Worlds on so that might be it. I always thought is sounded like a cool setting though.

Maybe I'm missing something here but since that one show is part of the whole franchise then that one show altering canon means it's altered for the entire franchise, no? Someone can choose to ignore it as a fan and have their own "personal canon", but the franchise cannon is now changed.

All of the responses and poor Mezuka isn't around anymore to read the conversation he started.

I will certainly agree that the subsystems, like the chase system, drive me nuts. As for the rest, I feel like we are playing different versions of the same game, or maybe just using different settings with customized rules because I don't feel like the system is that complex. Some versions of...

My fondest memories are of 2nd edition AD&D, in part because, as was previously mentioned, of the amount of time I had to play. I played 3rd edition the longest because I migrated to Pathfinder but eventually got burned out and have grown to think it's too rules heavy. I chose not to play any...

Whatever the current edition is will usually be king, with the possible exception of 4E since Pathfinder carried on the 3.x tradition and by some accounts it outsold 4E. That said, games like Old School Essentials, OSRIC, and Castles & Crusades do have a reasonable sized followings and there are...

My copy of Pathfinder for Savage Worlds showed up the other day and I have slowly been flipping through it. So far the only bit I feel unsure about is the Conviction mechanic but I haven't read the entire thing yet so I am withholding judgment on the game until I finish reading it. As a fan of...

I agree, nWoD was a good game but after playing oWoD for so long and being used to its history and setting nWoD just kind of fell flat for me.

Hunt for Nazi occultists begins

I agree with you. I Like Chapel in the show but she is radically different than her TOS counterpart. May as well be a different character.

Well, that wasn't very useful. Do you have any reasons for your dislike?

Hey, my mom loves NCIS! :p

No back catalog is part of the reason why I won't pay for AppleTV+ but also because I am only willing to pay for so many streaming services. I cut the cord years ago because the cost of cable is obscene but now streaming is the new cable. I have a friend who loves See. I have tried twice to...

Severance is great. I'm not going to pay for a regular subscription to Apple TV+ but between Severance and For All Mankind Apple has a couple of great shows.
