And you live in Winnipeg. Sorry couldn't resist

For us it was some frustration about changing characters or certain aspects (that spell doesn't work like that anymore!) of the character. I'm overall more positive towards next than negative and it's thus far looking like this might be a good edition. I'm starting up an Iron Kingdoms game here...

Johnny3D3D big post. I am not disagreeing with what you said, just wondering if at the end of the session if you are the player would your overall fun ( if you could measure that) be any different in a significant way? There are sets of rules that fit certain genres better, no argument here...

therapy style and therapy modalities are two different things. Research would suggest that the modality chosen by the therapist is not a massively contributing factor when looking at client outcomes.

Not really a useful answer

Star Wars has had the beginner box to sell since around Christmas

that's very interesting that Wotc got the 2nd Spot with reprints. Makes you think that they will keep up the reprints once they release D&D next

I agree there is something to be said for finding the right game to fit the genre/setting/. I chose to run an Iron Kindoms game using the actual rules (as opposed to Savage Worlds) because even thought the IKRPG kinds gets a "meh" from me it fits better than Savage Worlds which would require...

Slightly different critique, but I see ads for new fantasy rpgs and they don't really do a good job and telling me why I should be interested. This game could be the best things ever, but the opening blurb made me go "meh" Also the ads for it I saw on enworld was of some undead creature eating...

This really makes me wonder what they're actually testing when the public is testing concepts that they've left and moved on

I'm glad that you were able to find someone who used a technique that was helpful for you and you were able to connect with that person. I'm not making any sort of comment on you or your experience, it sounds like the journey was very meaningful for you. Speaking from my experience I have had...

Rules DO matter for sure. I've played my share of clunky and unwieldy games (Rifts), games that had a ton of rules, games that slowed the game to a crawl, games where the mechnics didn't fit the genre (people trying to run Lord of the Rings with D&D 3rd/4e). These factors impacted the amount of...

I would concur I have to enjoy the rules of a game when I'm running them. My OP was about the players enjoyment.

Yeah, this. FATE core was great because of all the stuff I got for the cost of a pdf was staggering. Zombicide Season 2 gave all these exclusives and bonus stuff that I didn't want to miss out on. Interface Zero 2.0 for Savage Worlds said "hey you unlocked the ability to buy something...

LOL, I was going to mention FATAL as one of the exceptions to the rules. I think there is a White Supremacist rpg that would fit into this category as well. But yeah "reasonable" rpgs

I'm a therapist. I work with clients with wide variety of mental health and addictions issues. I'm also influenced quite heavily by Scott D. Miller, one of his ideas which appears to be backed up by increasing research is that the actual counselling technique matters very little in whether or...

Yeah I think you're right about this. With no information it would be a mistake to assume anything other than people make career changes in their lives.

I got the sense it was more of a career move than discontent with the progress of dndnext. Also adding a different set of eyes to the game (dndnext) may make it better overall.

Ha, no, not big scary ones like he has...He has a better robes too

Awesome!! I love the cover!!
