If someone where to cut a few dozen Internet cables, the US would be completely cut of from the rest of the world... :ROFLMAO:

It kind of depends exactly what you mean by mind control. But as with anything, a thing is not just good or evil, it's the use of it. Buttering my bread with a knife is OK, stabbing random people is not. I prefer mind alteration, if you can use an ability that affects the mind to influence...

And then the question becomes, does customs listen to their courts or their president...

Yeah... It really differentiated Paizo in the D&D-esque space, a sort of a monthly magazine for running adventures. It might be an upgrade, but the monthly adventures were a unique format, each clocking in at 96 pages, you could just buy one and never run the rest. Also 3x 96 = 288, not 256...

Also keep in mind that books are not tariffed at the moment, so if they do the printing in China, and the final assembly in the US. They only pay tariffs for the boxes, screens, cards, dice, and mini/biggie dragon. Also keep in mind that if they import that, they're not paying the tariffs over...

WotC has been in the 'gambling' racket and aiming at young nerds since 1993...

So they start in 7 years, right on time for the next edition... ;)

After 10 years we got a 5.5 edition, if we would see a 6.0 edition in another 10 years I would like to see: even more streamlining less words used to explain a function/ability/system A more coherent whole (5.5 feels like a bunch of different departments worked on their part as islands and then...

I know, that's what got me inspired to put it on the official WotC list. 3E had such a book officially (and many unofficially). It's not that I need it right now, but I do prefer official over third party in this case (due to how my players work). I might still buy this at a later time as a pdf...

And it's not just books, it's also old edition pdfs, electronic versions for VTTs, which in turns sells all the licensed stuff, from boardgames, card games, the occasional Magic set, computer games, art books, novels, toys, the occasional movie, comics, etc. During the last decade, I spent more...

Isn't any war a war for survival? And what about all the human on human wars over the ages, even pretty recently all sides had a pretty callous regard for human life. No nation will state that publicly, but the actions speak volumes... It's not as if when we hit actual space travel, we'll be an...

I'm missing the option: "Depends on the story/design..." There are all kinds of fantasy sci-fi settings I like, for all kinds of reasons. From the Expanse to Farscape, from Renegade Legion to Warhammer 40k, from Honor Harrington to Altered Carbon. Sometimes I love the starship designs...

Maybe Draw Steel is not generic, but it sure as heck does look that way... In the same way as D&D4e was mathematically brilliant, but it's presentation didn't match it brilliance (hence we never adopted it).

Yeah, the conversion charts are just an absolute pain! A reason why not to play a game. You could do something with stickers, or maybe even some custom dice made via Etsy or something (but very expensive and thus another hurdle). For me it totally turned me off on WFRP3e and the FFG Star Wars...

Honestly, I suspect the same to happen to those two as what's happening with the Cosmere RPG, just a fan cult following buying the product, something they will likely never play or not all that often. Something similarly happened to all the D&D alternatives that spawned from the OGL shenanigans...

I dislike the FFG type of custom dice for RPGs as you're totally dependent on that company for those dice, especially annoying when you try to run games a while after they stopped supporting that game...

1st level characters killing Brainpuppies!

Immersion. 3D dice rolling for me is a necessity for a VTT, as just random number showing up totally disconnects me from the pnp RPG experience we're trying to recreate online. 3D dice tend to be very low impact on the computer hardware, 3D minis tend to be very high impact on the computer...

While normally that would be an automatic buy, but with the recent Spelljammer, Planescape, and Dragonlance implementations, I'm not convinced it would be something I would enjoy. What I would buy: Monster Manual 2 Epic Levels

It's WotC after all... And another reason why I'm not buying this, no more room in my book case and space in there is precious! The videos of Exodus the computer game were interesting, the announcement of a TTRPG was one of those red flags. This release so far ahead of the computer game is...
