The impulse to engage in completionism is strong. Definitely have bought things I should not have bothered with as a result. Or just dipping deeper into a game or setting because, "well if I did run it, I would want rules for X". Hell, most White Wolf purchases I made were for this reason.

I think we should also accept the stark reality that if a persecuted minority member goes out to harm a White Nationalist, they are at best going to risk arrest if not being killed by law enforcement, while a White Nationalist can walk out of a supermarket after executing some ten people and...

So I am curious. Disposable income is a resource and being a TTRGP hobbyist is often about managing that resource. I am curious as to how my spending compares to others. Specifically, I buy RPG books knowing that my real use of them in a game may not exist. I have games in my collection, mostly...

People who feel we can just talk it out with Nazis, that feel the need to defend free speech even when it is vile, to be blunt, such people can do so because they will not be the people up against the wall when the time comes, not at first at least. To also be frank, I have enough privilege to...

Scratch a lie, find a thief. Thinks like this are why being ambivalent about White Supremacy can just be a public cover for good old fashioned enthusiastic endorsement.

Oh my sweet, summer child.

Honestly can't agree. DnDBeyond is the best onboarding tool to get rules nervous players into the game I have ever encountered. I just do not like the pricing structure.

for the record, I buy physical copies of anything I really want to have. I still plan to pick up this book, even though as it is at best a 5.1 update to existing material, its not a needed need.

As long as it remains merely an additional option, not a thing. But the fear is that the natural flow of capitalism will encourage removing the first option and instead keep just the individual pieces.

Pardon if my experiences with Video Games selling features piecemeal makes me very warry of such practices.

A more apt analogy is if the theatre, instead of charging $15 for a full, two hour movie, was willing to charge you "just" $5 for the most exciting 15 minutes.

Well wow. Pardon my ignorance. I'm gobsmacked.

A side benefit to Pro-GMing could be GM training/on ramping.

Possible ways to pull this off while protecting some against bad player feelings: Future version of the PC Alternate Dimension Variant Clone Beyond the bad feelings, trust that the logistics to explain how all the actions of the villain could be accomplished by the PC without them knowing is...

As a Forever DM, it's my observation that across all demos, most people don't DM.

For what it is worth, Pro-GM should be a thing. It's not going to replace the hobbyist model, only supplement it.

The second one.

Case by case for me. I actively encourage several elements, like decoupling stat bonuses from race. But have yet to have someone make a custom race build for example.

My definition of technology is more expansive. Any system is a technology that can be refined and improved upon.
