God people complaining about other people’s opinions on a topic other than the one at hand is so freaking lame and so typical of nerd culture. Just stay on topic, nobody cares what you thought about One Piece or any other show. Also, I highly doubt this rumor. Maybe there are talks going on or...

So, does Jergal play into this somehow? Reading the spellweavers wiki page led to an interesting conversation on how Jergel might have originally been one of their gods. It would certainly fit into BG3’s sometimes subtle story telling if old Jergel himself was somehow connected to all this.

This is simply not true. Both shows required deep lore knowledge to fully appreciate—seven movies, in the case of Andor, six movies and a ton of other crap for the Mandolorian. Disney was able to pull it off because they operated on several different levels in their story telling all at...

Doesn’t Vecna have a prison on one of the planes detailed in the original Planescape box? Memory failing here

Oh that’s cool, I must have missed that. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of the Hands of Havoc, Dude, at least it's an ethos. :)

People in 2023 are not Gary Gygax drawing on Jack Vance and Fritz Lieber (among others) in their conceptual imagination of what a wizard is. That’s what I meant. Today is more Harry Potter, and no one except for a handful of weirdos like me know who Turjan is. That’s what I meant in my post...

Re-reading the original Planescape stuff right now, these seem like eminently sensible changes. The Hands of Havoc Come across as a bit to try hard on the nose, but it’s 2023 WoTC. To each their own.

I’m one of those weirdos who go deep into a game setting’s lore, and Forgotten Realms used to have incredible lore. BG3 really drives this home—(it so drives home how good the lore in Tome of Foes was, but I digress). I don’t expect WoTC to go all 3/3.5 on us again when it comes to FR lore and...

I would love to see a system really lay into spell components, but in practice I think it’s too fiddly for modern conceptions of what a wizard is.

Lol ok. You can have your opinion. But if you see current WoTC as anything but focus tested corporate blandness then I don’t know what to tell you. What they did to the Dueger is enough to show you how boring current WoTC is, it doesn’t matter how much older you are than me lol. And yea, of...

Weird how much better that will sell than all of WoTC’s products published this year combined.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that people thinking making everyone morally bland is “adding nuance”, but I am. I’m reminded that DnD WoTC style isn’t marketed to anyone over the age of 35 hahah

There is legitimately nothing nuanced or subtle about any of this—it’s blatantly focus tested to appeal to a certain demographic that finds nuance and complexity morally abhorrent lol

Good musings on Conan. I especially like the savagery vs civilization conceit, and think if you could balance it well it could lead to a lot of fun story telling.

I have run multiple games of Star Trek Adventures and the system matches the theme extraordinarily well. Haters gonna hate hate hate, but STA is really good, so just shake it off, shake it off.

Wizards are (is) lame here.

Gosh this is embarrassing.

Anybody have any strong thoughts on Cloak and Dagger? Still usable for 5e stuff?

I believe there is the promise of eventual steam workshop support. I won’t muck around with mods till then haha

Is there steam workshop support for the game?
