Eh, I loved the writing and combat in Divinity Sin 2, and I don’t feel weird or bad or guilty (?) for doing so. It was mad fun and creative and unlike anything I’d ever played before. And I wouldn’t call it grimdark at all, that’s just a weird take in my opinion. It was different. And that...

Oh yea, I picked up the Lieber stuff cause I’m increasingly obsessed with Fafhd and Grey Mouser stories. What I wrote above seeks to compare and contrast what we both find off putting and enjoyable in two different product lines—in particular when it comes to tone. Nothing more, nothing less.

That arrogance you speak of isn’t present in Shadowdark, nor does the author of Shadowdark annoyingly put herself in her own rule book repeatedly. The self-assured constant Pat on the back that Goodman gives himself comes across as incredibly insecure. Goodman probably is a good guy in real...

Eh, I read DCC as I kept on seeing it mentioned throughout threads like this, and it comes across to me as written by an arrogant dude with a way too high opinion of himself and his arbitrarily made conclusions as to “what is the real spirit” of old school DnD, a tone that I found so off putting...

This is a much better read on the episode and it’s subtleties than that “hard men” garbage. It’s like people didn’t see the M’benga obviously has PTSD.

Man, you do you, and you’re completely allowed to have your own assessment, it’s a free country. I just feel like I read a completely different book than you, because for the first time in my game playing career do I now want to play a DnD like instead of playing the original game. To each their...

Cody Rhodes is lame as fkn hell.

Just finished up an early access run as a forest gnome archer ranger who had a bear companion, and it was freaking awesome. I have NO idea what I’ll play when the game comes out, but it’ll probably be something boring like a human bard archer—because I am lame.

Dwarf will probably be a DLC, or will emerge in the inevitable Larian style Enhanced Edition, that suckers like me will of course buy.

Except for that fkn squirrel man, what a jerk.

Ars Magica, because it makes me feel like a real life wizard.

I think Shadowdark is pretty neat, and I don’t let the opinions of others sway if I like something or not.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could suggest any works that cover the theory, practice, and ultimately art of writing ttrpg gaming modules. Not necessarily for publication or anything, but works that touch on creativity and more pragmatic concerns are what I’m looking for. I get the sense...

M'Benga's a character in the TOS, but Bones is in charge. Probably this episode has something to do with that.

It is plastered all over Paramount Plus and my Amazon Prime, still. They clearly know this thing has a long tail and are still making money on it. Look, people in another thread have, in a very silly manner, debated this endlessly and pointlessly. I’m not going to debate anything about this...

Of course it will, I know people have endlessly debated this here, but it was successful enough to impress paramount and of course they will want to push forward a sequel that they think they can make even MORE money on.

Well this thread has convinced me to buy DCC and Shadowdark, so I guess well done all.

Yea, I did this too….,

Cool, thx for clarifying. The characters in Shadowdark seem SOMEWHAT more survivable at least :) I hope converting a hex crawl from one OSR game to another OSR system isn’t too tricky.

Forgive my ignorance, what is a funnel game? I’m hoping to attach shadowdark to a game of What Ho Frog Demons for some fun and zany dungeon Shenanigans
