    D&D General D&D: Literally Don't Understand This

    Isn't there just a lot of negativity on Twitter in general? Drama seems to drive 'clicks'...

    D&D General D&D: Literally Don't Understand This

    Quite a few actors get a flat fee, regardless of how well the movie/tv series does. Singers are a special case due to how music is distributed these days. But back in the day of records, tapes, and CDs, many music makers only got paid a flat fee. And even if they got a royalty, record companies...

    D&D General D&D: Literally Don't Understand This

    Does the lineworker that made assembled your phone get paid every time you make a call? For a corporation like Hasbro it's way saver and cheaper to just pay the artist for their work without royalties. Cheaper because if they have to pay royalties they need to keep a whole administration to keep...

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Drakonym, Heart: The City Beneath, Vaults of Vaarn, and more

    It's on my wishlist to GM, but after Spire and a couple of other niche RPGs. They've raised £150k+ already with almost 2k backers, so they are doing well!

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    I really like the design and illustration. That said, I do NOT like it as a Topaz dragon in D&D: #1 The floating spine crystals, while cool make the dragon look too fantastical for it's 'family'. And I say this fully realizing that the Topaz dragon concept is already pretty fantastical... #2...

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    BG4: Who would make it? Give it to a new unproven studio like Giant Skull and the audience will have zero confidence in it. But which of the established game studios would want to make it without being 'booed' out of the room by fans? But blind fans will probably preorder it anyway, so it's up...

    Looking for a Cyberpunk Genre Game

    A couple of caveats: The English version of Shadowrun Anarchy is less 'good' then the French version (or so I'm told), and there's an Anarchy 2.0 being worked on. Personally I found Anarchy the other extreme, where SR 1-6 are incredibly crunchy, Anarchy is so rules light you might have to use a...

    Looking for a Cyberpunk Genre Game

    We're all our own problem! ;) I'm from the Shadowrun side of things and have similar issues as you have with Cyberpunk. I do not like the new Shadowrun 'world', I would prefer to keep it 2050-2060. There were issues with the old rules, and issues with the new rules. So IF I ever run SR again...

    Worlds of Design: Only Human

    That's because you don't take into account how long a generation is. In PHB 3.0 the 'adult' age of a human is 15, 40 for a dwarf and 110 years for an elf, you can directly translate those ages as generations. So for every 120 years, that's one elf generation, 3 dwarf generations, and 8 human...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    Netflix Apple TV+ (part of family subscription including music, and storage) Prime TV (probably killing that later this month due to a massive price increase) Disney+ (already killed that almost two years ago due to a massive price increase or ads) Crunchyroll Viki Rakuten Someone else at home...

    Imprinting on media

    I'm 49, so pretty old. It really depends on the quality of the remakes. And as we are deep into RPGs, the idea of alternative realities is an easily accepted situation. For Superman I actually prefer more recent TV series 'versions' to the movies, I really liked Smallville and the newer one...

    What's Your Price Limit?

    No, it isn't, but paying for something that you don't need for a price you're not otherwise willing to pay, is charity. I see often people talking about products they'll buy to 'support' either their LFGS or publisher xyz, even though they don't actually 'use' either the gaming support at the...

    What's Your Price Limit?

    I think that the first part is just sloppy from their part, this is information you put on your character sheet: 1D8+3 damage, 2 attacks. The second part I can understand, with 35+ years of Games Workshop games and their WFB, 40k, Necromunda, etc. being so similar across editions, eventually...

    What's Your Price Limit?

    -$30 for physical books. No more room, I even considered selling my entire physical book collection, I've come back from that (for now), but a LOT will be sold. Not to make room for more, but to make it take less space. I have have a lot in pdf of my collection and for Pathfinder/Starfinder...

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    We can add a very cool Gundam into D&D Forgotten Realms as a core feature... But I hope we'll all find it inappropriate for official core D&D and FR releases. A world feels like a world when it's internally consistent, those lore fans pointed out a flaw that WotC should have know, it's writers...

    Starfinder Player Core Review

    All by the same poster: LPuff, all the 'reviews' seem like Le Puff Piece... ;) It certainly isn't a detailed analysis of the changes to SF2e and how they improve the game (or not). But on the other hand... If you're already buying into PF and SF, chances are good that you'll continue buying...
