Thinking like it's Buffy/Angel the ones you're missing are: Graveyard Trash dump Upscale shopping area/mall - (which is distinct from the outwardly scarier "city streets" but might be more likely to contain weirder magical beings or threats) The Docks - (at least in Buffy/Angel this is...

I mean I can't disagree on the final note there! The first two though I don't think he really understands the system. There's no such thing as an action, only an Action Roll!

Gosh what a tempting offer lol. Only full price!

Pretty much everyone who knows about Dark Sun except you? Every single person who has expressed an opinion on the subject in this thread has said that the major themes of Dark Sun are: 1) Climate change caused by greed and lust for (magical) power, and that this is bad. (Ecological disaster)...

Yeah I got that too, but I wasn't even offered the first book!

Shadow dropped in the sense that Sigil was "shadow dropped"?

Mentioning a fact about Athas is not the same as "supporting your position". It's absolutely a fact that Athas doesn't have gods, as the second video mentions, but it doesn't support your #1 theme claim. Also, you're asking me to prove a negative. That's impossible. No-one would make a video...

Go to the subreddit, and tell me how many people agreed with you about how "The #1 theme of Dark Sun is how important religion is, and why the world sucks if we aren't religious".

I get that you're focused on this, and can dig up videos by probably Gen Z guys which mention it in passing, but it isn't a thing bro. You're not going to make 'fetch' happen here. Why don't you go to the Dark Sun subreddit and explain to them how the #1 theme of Dark Sun is that the world sucks...

They've tried dozens of ways with projectors, AR headsets, VR headsets, VR/AR hand controllers, and so on. Those are fine for piloting a drone. But when life and death are on the line, and you're planning or providing information, you need two things: 1) Correct information. 2) Awareness of...

LOL what? No. Both those scenarios mean you're wrong. In fact, in the second scenario, if WotC release a "faithful interpretation" of YOUR ideas of what Dark Sun is about, then I'd absolutely be saying "That's not a faithful interpretation", so if people are saying that, it's more likely they...

Dude lol. D&D Shorts agrees with you? Who next, a luminary such as Howard Stern? Like D&D Shorts is great if you want weird D&D gossip, especially a couple of years ago. But his takes on D&D subjects tend to be well, very much hotter than the surface of Athas, that's for sure, and often just...

We've got that. It doesn't solve any fundamental issues. The lightest ones aren't cheap but are insanely light but the wealthy people who buy them follow the exact pattern everyone does - 2-6 weeks of "Wow" followed by a few months of "Oh yeah, I guess I could" followed by "Meh, can't be...

Any longer? Not trying to be a big downer, but they never were. There's no period in RPG history where that was a major, popular thing in RPGs. The earliest RPGs are wargame-adjacent "kill your way through a deathtrap of a dungeon" deals. There was no "medieval sim" let alone "dark ages sim"...

AR and VR both just keep swinging and missing, over and over and over, have done for my whole lifetime and I'm 47 man, because it's a solution looking for a problem, and not willing to wait the tech is so good it might become viable, because that might mean a competitor got there first. The last...

😭 No why you coming for them! I thought they were horrible when I was a kid but I quite like them now, so long as they're not sloppy (they should be more at the mashed potato end of things).

Work on Sigil started before the Beyond acquisition, and head of WotC's digital was actually opposed to the Beyond acquisition (this came out, of all times, during the OGL 2.0 deal), so yeah I don't think there's any question internal politics was in play here. Interesting re: the small updates...

Factorio is a wild and crazy impressive game, but... I don't think anyone is going to hire them with their current guy in charge, who has a history of attacking age-of-consent laws as "woke" and immoral (he thinks there should be no laws there, so probably going to get arrested on "serious...

I think I have to agree with @Dausuul here, though also with you re: Exodus. Beyond wasn't a WotC product at all, the only credit they can take is that they gave that licence to a company which made good use of it, and had the sense of eventually (after they'd been sold twice already!) buy...

I mean, it kind of does actually, just in a different way. In BG1/2 the abrasiveness doesn't usually come out in talking to the PC, it comes out in the barks and inter-NPC chatter. They basically behave like a bunch of children stuck in the back seat of a hot car on a long journey, insulting...
