Agreed - he’s become increasingly negative and often feels like he’s rooting against WotC.

He's never run a campaign remotely as long as CR C1-3, each of which come in at many hundreds of hours. I think that may be one of the reasons that this is being described as more like three campaigns that sometimes link.

The Unsleeping City is New York - it's not like Mulligan had to invent the New York Stock Exchange, the Statue of Liberty, Staten Island, etc. It's apples and oranges comparing it to someplace like Zadash, just one of many cities that Mercer built from scratch for Exandria. I'm quite familiar...

Same - I cut back and forth.

I have questions about Brennan Lee Mulligan's ability to run an epic CR campaign - his campaigns have always been much shorter and rely far heavier on improvisation than Mercer's. He doesn't do remotely the world-building prep that Mercer does, by his own admission. Though splitting it into...

With regards to the OP, I'm not surprised. Daggerheart is not really built for long campaigns, but beyond that, its brand recognition is tiny compared to D&D's. In a way, CR are victims of their own success in that DH has been popular enough that using it for their next campaign even seemed...

I think you made an assumption. CR and WotC still work together. They do support their own system. No, it was originally in a modified 4e, then in Pathfinder, then migrated to 5e at Geek&Sundry's request, because D&D is a much better known brand. There was no "endorsement money" involved...

And, as previously quoted, the current PHB specifies that a Tiefling’s ancestry has no bearing on their morality - play them how you like. Arguments about “evil” vs. “Evil” are besides the point (also, note that the PHB pointedly uses the word “moral” rather than “alignment”).

Here is the description of Tieflings from the current PHB (emphasis added): Which is fine by me - I don't use alignment so, while most fiends have motives that are inimical to mortals, not all of them do.

I am intriqued to learn more about this game as it seems very unique, not to mention successful if you have hundreds of players at any one time! Kudos for making it happen! I'm sure that the text of the FR 2025 books will reflect the current design philosophy of WotC, and the strong trend among...

I agree that the pacing is odd, but I also think the casting is bad. Specifically, I do not buy Chris Rock or, especially, Jason Schwartzman as mob bosses - I kept thinking "hey, it's like the kid from Rushmore wrote and starred in his own mob show rather than Viet Nam epic." Fargo (the TV...

I just read The Tainted Cup - it's really good! Fantasy murder mystery with Kaiju thrown in. The protagonist is a genetically modfied Watson for his boss's ASD Sherlock.

Eh, I just watched season 4 of Fargo. It's not good. Otherwise, I agree with you. But I can;t call a series a masterpiece that has that season in it. The first two episodes of this series are promising but there is a lot of style over substance happening.

With some Westworld thrown in.

I understand what the writers are getting at, but I don't believe it - for me great writing doesn't take me out of the story. I think it makes his character cartoonish.

Could you clarify a bit more? Is this a situation where players might wind up with different DMs, and you need to ensure that there is a more or less uniform experience? Or are they typically always with the same DM? I'm wondering why each individual DM can't chat with their players to...

I played my 1e main, a ranger, for about six years across multiple campaigns and I believe he made it to level 11.

Just watched the first two shows. I like it, with some reservations. First, I agree with Snarff that this feels almost as much Bladerunner as Alien. It's taking some big swings at heady concepts (what is a person?), and I like the ambition. The claustrophobic visuals, especially in the second...

They generally seem gimmicky, and are usually more about branding than anything else. Typically, you can play just as well with regular dice, though if used thoughtfully they can make certain results more obvious and save a bit of thinking. And sometimes they look kinda cool. So I'm not...
