    [VTT] Going Back to VTT Instead of Live Play

    I have run games exclusively online for 10 years. Wow. I can't believe it. But it has been the richest and most consistent its ever been. From a pool of players that want to play in games I want to run (or how I want to run them) I found it very rewarding. While I have not developed any...

    D&D General That one player who cancels at the last day

    Once in a great while? Or every other week? I dont' care. Mostly I am looking to see how the person handles it. If they conduct themselves like an adult and tell me they can't make it regularly any more, great, I'll see if there is anyway I can accommodate them if they want to continue to play...

    D&D General That one player who cancels at the last day

    I would say absolutely not. A person has to decide what they can prioritize and what they cannot. But I have chosen to prioritize game time, and I ask anyone else who wants to play in my game to choose to do the same. Otherwise I will not run a game for them. And the moment I sense it is no...

    D&D General That one player who cancels at the last day

    I've been here. And I hate it every time. I think out of the 10 years and likely dozens of people I've played with only about 5-8 have ever left on their own accord. Most I had to directly ask "can you commit to playing?" or "please leave you're gone too much." I finally got to the point in my...

    Worlds of Design: Game Design vs. Story Framework

    I had never really done backstory for most of my games, mainly by setting them in Tolkein. But for a superhero game I used Microscope to help me generate the eons past, and I can tell you, that history has and will effect my players directly in future campaigns.

    Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix)

    Jupiter's Circle answers this. Just finished EP 8. I give the series 8.5 out of 10 (a little more action would have given it a 10, I like supeheroes breaking stuff). The discussion about Sacrifice was interesting. And I appreciate that Utopian knows he has sacrificed a lot. And I really...

    Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix)

    Episode 7 was really good. The fact that the door way scene was full of music made me think of Michio Kaku's discussion in his newest book about the fact that Music explains the foundations of the universe. I appreciated the fact that they had to gain entrance to their powers together, and I...

    Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix)

    Just finished Ep 6!!! They even referenced Lovecraft!!! I like how they are showing the old guard. Yes they are out of touch but not negatively so, they just don't know how (or aren't willing) to relate to the world as it is changing. This really hits home in general as I consider current...

    Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix)

    Just watching Episode 5, finished the scene with the Psychologist, and I think it is the Thesis of the Piece (show). This continues to draw me in, I am absolutely in love. its like Indiana Jones, Call of Cthulhu and Champions Now (or Mutants and masterminds) had a baby!!!

    Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix)

    @ShinHakkaider I was afraid it would be cynical/sociopathic too, because I know Kick Ass is (i kinda liked it, but it wasn't super enough for me). I was surprised in that I can see/understand the strains on these folks and it seems reasonable given that they have superpowers. But I don't want to...

    Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix)

    I saw the trailer, watched it, and then remember I had read the prequel to it Jupiter's Circle (i think). Then I was excited to see it cause I really liked what happened in the prequel. I really like it, I would say it is my favorite comic to "movie" adaption so far. Some of that is because it...
