I hadn't heard of this project, and out of curiosity (morbid?) I thought I would check it out. As soon as I saw the names associated with the project, I felt like I needed another shower. "We're an indie studio of geeks and gamers..." No, you're a group of opportunistic grifters who look down...

Oh yeah?! Have they set a release date for it? ;)

When I gripe about the game not being fun, this is usually what my complaint boils down to. When I play with groups who have experience with older editions or other systems, this is generally not a problem. Those players seem to be used to contributing to the narrative and the immersion for...

Much like you, I'm still caught up in my own traumas. I can't stand the term "nerd". It was the word used to signal that I was about to get a severe beating. Like @delericho said, I believe the culture has been appropriated. Most of the time I can't help but think that they're still making...

When I have run a fantasy game it has been some form of D&D. Whenever I needed to make a ruling, I would nearly always find myself referring to the Rules Cyclopedia. It took some time for me to figure out that RC is my favorite. Shhh...don't tell the other editions.

I'm not seeing any ratings for the Boxed Starter Set, and I'm wondering if folks who have used it find it useful. Is it a good introduction to A5E? Are the adventures a good representation of how you would expect it to play? I'm starting to get my convention plans and games together. After...

Yeah, I find this pretty strange also. Coming to ENWorld to complain about free stuff at DDB, while I'm not seeing any holiday specials in the EN Publishing store.

The first 12 days are for joy and cheer. The other 12 days are for layoffs.

Some were grown women (mother, aunt, grandmother) who said things along the lines of "why can't you do normal things" and "that's just devil worship". Some were classmates who definitely were not mature enough to be considered women. Just wanted to make that distinction of the various maturity...

20 years ago, give or take, I was one of those people. I wasn't debating anyone about it, because I knew it was "me" thing. It took a long time for me to accept a woman at a gaming table I was sitting at. Ever since I got into this hobby, and even just gaming in general, the females in my...

I stated with the mishmash of B/X and 1e that many of us played. Then played a little bit of 2e, but bounced pretty hard off of that. Moved on to GURPS, ShadowRun, and White Wolf's stuff. 3e entered the scene and I enjoyed that for a while...until it started getting bloated. But continued...

Exactly! If I don't share the duties, they will never know that I rarely ever look at Gamemaster Guides. ;)

I very much agree with this. If I'm asking my players to do more work outside of them just playing their characters, then they will start learning the rules. I'm afraid they will learn some rules I don't want them to know about, because it may restrict their ability to freely play their...

The laws sound pretty sexist to me. But, I guess, those were the times. And now we've come 'round full-circle.

Why would it have been up to Gary, alonge, to secure his family's well-being? Why wasn't Mary out in the workforce?

Yup. Right away I figured this was just him reacting to a bunch of publishers and RPG-related communities leaving his platform and joining Bluesky. Essentially, just a slow news day.

Which makes me wonder why the good folks here have spent over 100 pages paying attention to Elon. Just let the guy shake out his sillies. Next year he won't be able to post as many of these crazy things, because that wouldn't be an efficient use of his time or the taxpayers' money. ;)

What are the rules?

Nope. My only real objection is that it takes the "game" out of the role-playing game.

Thank you...that's what I was looking for in trying to explain why I like it. Coffee isn't working this morning.
