I agree, a difference of opinion isn't trolling. But that's not what you're doing, you're playing bait and switch. Showing a small RPG made via ChatRPG is interesting enough, but then you start preaching, throwing a molotof through the AI window. Then I go looking and see your account was made...

Not everything needs to be my creation. As I indicated, neither was the used adventure, Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Nor were the rules that is D&D and we use. Think of it like this: When I walk out on the street, doe the pavers I walk on need to be handcrafted by myself? Does the bread I eat each...

And now you're just trolling! 🧌 AI/LLM can do certain things, other things it absolutely sucks at, and there is no way of really improving that due to how the whole LLM thing actually works. 63 years ago the Jetsons predicted we would have flying cars, but they didn't predict the smartphone...

True that it's going to impact the math hard! But even before the tariffs you saw a bit of an implosion on boardgame KS projects. Mythic Games was just one of the companies that started to drown, three years ago they started to fumble with the Darkest Dungeon KS and recently CMON had to start...

Devastate does not mean destroy. Also keep in mind that these tariff shenanigans are US only, the rest of the world is still perfectly willing to trade with each other. And while the US might be a large part of the English pnp RPG industry, it's certainly not all of it. Free League for example...

Hey. This is how we did it pre-Internet. I would ask colleagues of my father to bring back specific Warhammer stuff from the UK which we couldn't get here or only at insane prices. I still remember going to the UK on a school trip (from the Netherlands) in the mid 90s, doing some serious game...

Let me start by saying that the negative comments with little more argument then "But it's made by humans, thus better!" argument is going to drive more people into the arms of AI/LLM generated content. AI/LLM are tools, tools used by humans. Those humans decide how to use the tools, and what...

Looking at the last two articles, someone's hungry! ;)

It's a forever arms race. Those laser might be thwarted by deploying reflective clouds of particles that either fully reflect (possibly using the laser/energy against the craft that's firing it) or diffuse it enough to be essentially harmless. Or missiles with reflective heads of ablative heads...

I absolutely think that depending on the situation, a rotary cannon atop an armored flying tub ranges from cheaper to far, far cheaper. Imagine an Iraqi tank column moving up. Are you going to use a guided missile for each an every tank in that convoy? Do you even have enough guide...

People dismissing Cosmere as "IP fans just bought it with no intention of ever playing it!" let me ask you the question: How many books or pdfs do you have of RPGs you've never played? What about once a decade or two ago? Us pnp RPG folks are historically famous for this! ;) Let me start by...

But didn't the books happen before the TV show? And the TV show is pretty true to the books from what I remember... So the setting didn't benefit from an actual physicist and engineer. It's a story that's not that far into the future (~2350) where humanity has colonized the solar system, but...

Why just Slaanesh? Is it due to potential tentacle porn? What about Tzeench 'The changer of ways', that might also have so horrific consequences! Papa Nurgle isn't exactly family rated either... And the amount of blood and gore Khorne can produce might make some people hurl if you get into the...

It seems like you're more talking about splitting the player base then splitting the attention of the publishing company? WFB => WFRP4e has a LONG standing fanbase that would have zero interest in an AoS RPG and vice versa. BUT there a ton of new AoS fans since the 2015 release because they...

Sure, how we think about that now. But just how realistic is the psychic goo and the giant space portal? Or how realistic is the actual space ship when you start thinking about things like reaction mass quantities (fuel)? Certain aspects make appeals to your feelings or 'realism' while ignoring...

Depends, what kind of story is being told, what kind of atmosphere is being set, and what kind of technical designs are being implemented. What would Star Wars be without the X-wing and Tie fighters? As for nuke it from orbit, why don't we do that now? We have the capability, we threaten with...

Yes both split their product lines. FFG only on the 40k side and not on the WFRP side, which at the time made a LOT of sense. C7 is imho only 'splintering' 40k with W&G and IM, as HH might be the same setting, but GW also made that a distinct game from 40k (one might even argue multiple...

WFRP4e (2018): 31 distinct physical products/books (not counting special editions, etc.) (WFRP2e had 29 physical products) Soulbound (2020): 15 distinct physical products/books (not counting special editions, etc.) With the big difference being that WFRP had 3 editions and 32 years of content...

Shees, can't we have any fun before someone rains on our parade... The art in the twitter post is obviously inspired by a parade, Mardi Grass or the Rio carnival. Those are all inspired by far older European events/parades that were eventually exported with the colonization of the 'new world'...

Don't you mean your fantasies... ;)
