It is! I like actual plays. My main issue with them? Too much content! I always fall behind and then lose interest.

That is nothing. We spend more in salaries in a month where I work, and we're a mid-sized indie. And it's perfectly normal to not be profitable in the years where your previous game has been out for a while and you're on the verge of releasing a new one (and have invested massively into it)...

GlassCannon moving to Shadowdark will be interesting! It's not as old-school in all areas of play but I'll definitely listen to a few episodes to see how their style and the game mesh together.

Critical Role is about the people. The game could change, the universe could change, the format could change. The people could change too, but over time, exactly as a Ship of Theseus. But it couldn't be all at once. If next season had six different players, it wouldn't be Critical Role. Even if...

My ex-partner is iranian and they do it all the time. It was kind of impressive how they have whole social media groups where people say when they go to and from Iran and how much space they have available for others to put stuff in for their family members. And they don't charge for it (or most...

I had Netflix and Prime. Prime was for the shipping part and I had it for many years. But with the current Canada / USA trade war, I've unsubscribed from both. I might resubscribe to Netflix one day, Prime is more uncertain.

Like many said, I do think it imprints. However, good quality is good quality. There's some films or shows or games where I played a more recent version first, then went back and was able to enjoy it for what it is. Sometimes I go back to old movies and I'm like "I don't see where the genius...

I understand that. I'm not saying it's objectively undesirable. But it doesn't jam with me. If I'm offered something that's very obviously Warhammer 40k, but not Warhammer 40k in name... then it feels like the worst of both worlds. As I said, gunning for a vibe, an aesthetic or some themes is...

I don't know if you know about their core product: Outcast Silver Raiders. But it is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend it.

I just finished the podcast. It was a blast to listen to. I started to read some of Peterson's books this year, but I'm progressing slowly (life stuff) and the podcast was a perfect fit for when I was the dishes. I'm too young to have experienced the thick of what the podcast explore (born...

I think it's a well designed engine. It's very simple to explain, it has an interesting twist with pushing your rolls and Free League have proven that its adaptable to different genres. My two hiccups are: It's dice pools, which I like, but dice pools are often a bit more tedious to roll...

Yeah, same. First of all, I can't help but judge. It's a bit too close to the source material for my ethics. Secondly, it screams lack of imagination to me. I understand wanting to nail a vibe or an aesthetic that's already established, but there are ways to build upon something that exists...

Man, talk about filing off the serial number. With Nintendo's legal history, I would not feel comfortable doing something branded so close. It looks like Link, it's a product that's aimed to reproduce the tone of the game serie, and the name of the product is part of the name of one of the games.

The bundle of PDFs. But someone mentioned it might be CAD (as I'm from Canada). It's possible, but there's no indication of it anywhere, which is quite common. I always take for granted my purchases are in USD unless it explicitly allows me to choose my currency. And 89$ CAD for two PDF is...

My first suggestion, no matter what you run, would you to start right in the middle of it. In media res. They're not on their way to a dungeon, sitting around a fire and making plans for the last trek. They're not leaving the town on their way in search of the dungeon. They're sliding down a...

I agree. I also ponder on this. But I know that our reaction to prices and goods is much more emotional than rational. I'm mostly describing how I'm feeling. The conversation of value is interesting. Creators will talk about what it cost to create the product, or what it would take for it to...

I'm willing to follow a push in price with physical books (don't have a choice, shipping, customs and currency conversion from CAD doubles the price of books). But my limit for PDF is much, much lower. There is no universe where I will pay 50$+ for a PDF. And any bundle of Physical + PDF that's...

It's funny, I read this thread earlier this week and now it seems Draw Steel is finally available for purchase directly on their website... and it is 89$ for the PDFs! I've already seen a few reactions to the price of the PDFs. Draw Steel

That's a bit of a drastic example. If the gap between your fastest character and the second fastest is the difference between the Flash and the Joker, then yeah, I don't see why we're rolling. However, in most games (including D&D) the gap is much more narrower. The odds are absolutely in the...
