"Tactical" is that just because it is painted black? It doesn't seem to conceal a firearm or even a sword. It doesn't even have straps and those plastic clips you get with "Tactical" stuff, and where's the urban camo pattern?

4th Edition - Pretty much as is after Monster HP were adjusted and just slap as "Tactics!" sicker under the D&D logo. I'm lazy. Little Extra effort - also release the Heroes of Battle book (originally for 3.5 updated to 4E). Even more effort - update the Birthright setting to 4E, I'd leave in...

Might I suggest you play something other than D&D? There are plenty of RPGs that characters start as more competent characters and don't develop as significantly. There certainly isn't a need to change D&D from what has been a successful formula for it for decades, it seems a daft problem to...

I suspect I know the one you mean, and if they had made that into the big Bollywood style production with Ms Marvel getting involved I would have been completely down with it. As it would have fitted the style they established for her in the TV series, you know like how we accept Deadpool knows...

Why see it in theatres when I can watch it on Disney+ in a few months? In fact Disney+ has conditioned me to watch Marvel on a small screen with all their TV series.

Yeah it definitely a timing issue The Marvels Movie only came out in the cinema in in November last year, Secret Invasion was June 2023. But the Marvels was original schedules for July 2022. So imagine a lot of the script was finalised before Secret Invasion's. Still I'm not sure Asgard would...

Kamala Khan was easily the best thing in it, her Disney series was probably the best since Scarlet Witch's. I look forward to seeing more of her in the MCU.

I'm guessing technically that would be a pain in the butt. Not that it couldn't be done, each user getting a different experience based on when they signed up, trickier than just everyone switching over at once but possible. However you are selling that advertising, and you can't say it will...

I have the separate, I just pay for the streaming, at £5.99 a month (now with ads). I get the Prime delivery through a shared account so don't pay for that. To be fair I watched the whole of the Mr & Mrs Smith series and I think I only saw about 3 or four ads. There wasn't even one per episode.

4th Edition, was much better tactically, but that in turn made it a little harder to just use it for theatre of the mind conflicts (although it was certainly possible for small fights). 4th Edition had a lot of features built in that either were ignored or needed to be improvised for other...

I disagree you usually know how long a session is going to last. People generally won't play till 4 in the morning they will meet next week. I think rather than no definitive end, lots of TTRPGs have multiple opportunities to end, but are then continued. Games often have an end goal for the...

Favourite is humans, can't beat them.

I imagine it will be like D&D where you can run the game with just the PHB if you had too. Still I'm looking at my 5.2 Edition and wondering what they could leave out and push to a later book, and still have a playable game. Technically you could leave out the chapter on family background...

Hopefully it is like the Investigators Handbook and Keeper's Rulebook for Call of Cthulhu, where you only really need the one to play. The fact there is no news of a release date for the Gamemaster's Handbook and the Player's is called the "Pendragon Core Rules" hopefully implies the game is...

Not sure about the two books where one use to do.

I'm a strong believer in the mechanics reflecting the flavour, and vise versa. It usually leads to a strong sense of verisimilitude. Although by that I mean real to the game world, not the real world, so for example Doctor Who's initiative system where fighting only comes after exhausting other...

Totally agree, very bland, but it seems to be what WotC think people want with stuff like their removal of racial stat modifiers, size modifiers for weapons, every background/culture available to every character, etc.

Yes that's the point you could offset a lot of penalties of size by class choice, but then that's a restriction, and they got rid of racial stat mods, because it favoured certain classes so, having size modifiers favouring certain class options is going to be just as unpopular.
