I obviously have no opinion on the legal side, but I agree with you that it is a very sad story. Unfortunately this kind of episodes seem to always have been present in the RPG world, right from the start.

Nasty stuff. I didn't know anything about this story. Does this legal action look to have merit? EDIT: Never mind, I saw the actual thread.

The d3 vs 2 issue does not seem to me a burden at all. It gives a little variety while maintaining overall balance. Presumably, each player will run one character at a time and since this is something that happens every turn, I think that it will be easy to remember.

I saw Superman at one of the fanciest movie theater in Rome and it was 10 euros. Two days earlier, just €6.50 to see The Master and Margarita.

I can give a better deal. For the low, low price of 100 euros, I can send you a selfie with my ugly face blocking the view of some monument in Rome. I'll put your name in the file name.

I played for a while Ironsworn with a friend in GM-less mode, but I have to try it as a solo game.

Yes, that struck me as very weird to me as well. They want to build a factory for manufacturing their for-profit goods and they ask for a donation? In exchange you get a brick with your name on it? Very weird, but everyone is welcome to spend their money as they wish.

Just an anecdote, but that's exactly how I got into D&D. Back in 1985, I received the Mentzer "Red Box" for Christmas, I read it, ran through the solo adventures and then I began to DM for a group of friends.

Of course it depends a lot on the situation, but this set is stand-alone, while you need the DMG and the MM to play. Further, if this is well done, it will teach new players in a quick and efficient way. Learning D&D from the PHB can be challenging, IMO.

Yes, the original Starter Set was a great product and the adventure is outstanding. I was less enthused about Dragons of Stormwreck Isle and even less about the Stranger Things starter set.

Yes, very true. Personally, I feel that I'm rather out of touch with the current younger players, but I can still get enjoyment out of several recent offerings. As I mentioned previously, I don't really need a starter set for D&D at this point in time, but this product does look nice and also...

Yeah, the price seems to be fine. I don't know how it will affect its market penetration with beginners, but - luckily - that's not my problem to worry about :)

I really don't need this, but it will be hard not to buy it...

The European Commission (the executive branch) currently has five Executive Vice-Presidents. Hover, I agree that the video title is misleading, since the VP of the Parliament has far less direct power.

I would use my house-ruled AD&D 1e. I know it like the back of my hand and I can create encounters on the fly.

I don't know but I bet there's something fishy going on. I won't take the bait.

One TV is "smart" and I use its native apps. For two other TVs, I use an Amazon Firestick.

I'm surprised to read that. In the KS for Ashes Without Number the author declares that no AI art is used.

The maximum strain that you can accumulate is equal to your constitution score.

In WWN, you have "strain" equal to your con. You recover 1 point per night of sleep. First aid costs strain and, usually, magical healing does as well. Natural recovery does not cost strain. Keep in mind that my experience with WWN is very limited, so I'm no expert on the system.
