Big disagree. We have no way of knowing what they actually believe. Besides, just because someone's convinced themselves that they talk to ghosts doesn't mean they actually do.

Like "mediums" and "psychics" who use people's grief to bilk them out of their money. It's all reading newspapers for headlines and obituaries along with cold reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading

Listening to static instead of reading tea leaves. Same nonsense.

Good for them.

For those who actually want to talk about the game here’s a + thread. https://www.enworld.org/threads/draw-steel-general-thread.714656/

Right. The general public has not.

The [+] is to keep things positive and prevent the same already tired arguments about Draw Steel, tactical-crunchy play, and the Kickstarter / patreon nonsense. There are plenty of other threads to hate on games and play styles you don’t like. There are a few people on here who backed Draw...

I disagree. Here’s an article. https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/darwin/evolution-today/what-is-a-theory I only ever hear non-science types using words like theory in that derogatory way. “That’s just a theory.” “So is gravity but you’re not leaving the house from the second story window.”

And that dumpster fire is why you have to plus thread everything that’s not 5E.

The more fun version is explaining that scientific definitions of words aren’t the common ones. Theory as one example.

I don't tend to have difficulty with any of them. But I think that's because I cheat. I give everyone and everything a goal. I don't need to understand it, just RP them trying to achieve their goal. Animals and beasts want animal things, food or safety or shelter. Intelligent creatures want...

Man, that's interesting news. I hope someone shares it.

Technically, maybe. But the intent was the product itself not just the Kickstarter.

Blood hunter and blood domain.

Yeah, that would work.

That sounds almost like a sandbox. I'm not familiar with Root or Avatar. Are their adventures sandboxes?

Yeah. I'm kinda the same. The core is all about centering the PCs and making the story theirs along with heavy use of collaborative worldbuilding. Not sure how that works with typical adventures. Maybe they'll surprise us with something like modular hooks and villains. Exactly. A $30 PDF plus...

Right, but it's a player who knows enough about the game to decide ahead of time which class they want to play. So they either already have the book (which means they have all the cards and don't need these), or they're going off the SRD, or they're an assumed buyer of the stand-alone book that...

The Kickstarter is kinda weird to me. Who is this for? Players who don’t want to buy the full core set? They aren’t selling just the book. Not yet at least. So that should be assumed in the near future though not announced yet. Players using the SRD? There are artless cards to print. So this...
