My fiction is divorced from the real world as I am not a child and I am not playing at allegory. I’m not interested in this conversation with you, especially since you decided to swear at me.

This isn’t real life, it’s a fantasy game established on a literary property that has distinct regional differences between peoples that is emphasized through the story telling. Again, I’m not sure what the issue is here, as we are dealing with a fictional game of make believe dealing with...

Why does it seem questionable? It’s been the accepted practice through a good chunk of DnD’s history that some races/lineages get +1 to this stat, +2 to another etc etc. I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying here.

In the recent LotR works by Free League, The Folk of Dale, Men of Bree, and Wardens of the North are all different regional heritages/races/lineages. That’s why I consistently referred to regions/peoples above. They all have innate stat differences, because the mechanics all purposefully match...

I see how that might work out for some, but it doesn’t work for me. I don’t like it. I like lore tied to mechanics and vice versa, and I like my species to feel mostly alien to each other. As I said above, I’ve been doing a deep dive into Tolkien lately, and I appreciate how he gives each of his...

nuDnD post Tasha and that terrible Monsters of the Multiverse flattened and arguably neutered all meaningful species/lineage/racial differences in this system. It’s nearly all style now, meaningful mechanics coupled with lore have gone by the wayside. I think that it makes for a rather boring...

I am super excited about this! FoF wasn’t simply disappointing, I found it bad—poorly written, poorly explained, and ultimately poorly conceived. Only RPG product I’ve returned for a full refund. I simply can’t wait for Colonial Gothic!

I mean, I don’t know about anyone else, but I won’t simply buy or use the books if I find them lacking in areas I find interesting such as races. There are other books with the material I am looking for.

Reading through the books right now, I really like them. Love love love the art!

When they clog up the front page, and the conversation is all the same, then typically they’re grouped into a single thread. That way other topics can get more eyeballs. This isn’t that complicated nor is it asking too much.

They’re annoying as heck, vastly overhyped and breathless, and generally preachy. I’d love it if I didn’t have to see that junk unless I had too.

Thanks for clarifying!

I don’t find D20 as a system too taxing, but having run multiple campaigns in Star Trek Adventures, I do think, based on my experience, that it can be seriously streamlined and cleaned up.

It’s a pretty taxing system on the GM, I hope they really streamline it.

I’m going to have to see the books, read reviews, and hear other people’s experience before I decide if I’ll incorporate anything.

Cool, I hadn’t heard of this. Thanks for the rec!

I mean, you interpreted the “clues” a certain way, and fell for a red herring. I am honest not sure what the point you are trying to make here is and I’m trying to understand better.

This doesn’t make you come across as the paragon of virtue you imagine it does.

It strikes me that if you spend too much time online you’ll inevitably be disappointed. The ending was completely inline with previous seasons of the show—if you didn’t get the closure you were led to believe you were deserving because YouTube told you so, that’s on you, not the show.
