    D&D 5E (2024) Youre All Wrong. Its Not A Martial vs Caster Situation

    I’ll go way out on a limb on a D&D fan site here and say “The World’s Most Popular Role Playing Game” (tm) is great as is. All editions, all settings, all tables, all classes are perfect for a lot of people - “the market has spoken”, as Stephen Colbert puts it. If you need “everyone is like a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Youre All Wrong. Its Not A Martial vs Caster Situation

    By that logic, creativity is the ultimate tool. Which circles back to which class you play is up to you, it’s not WrongBadFun for someone else to play a different class, different edition, or different way.

    D&D 5E (2024) Youre All Wrong. Its Not A Martial vs Caster Situation

    The keys to caster supremacy claims: assume high level play, no time pressure, players of non-caster classes who don’t play creatively, and opponents that don’t adapt to “casters are better” by coming up with countermeasures or concentrating their attacks on casters. I mean, sure: “Casters are...

    A Call to Join Organized Play at PaizoCon Online and New Releases from Paizo

    Interesting. But I have only played PF1. I went to the first few PaizoCon’s - the first tiny one at Redmond Town Center and the next 2-3 at a hotel next to SEATAC airport. I guess I need to check out the online one.

    Second person plural pronoun

    The second person plural in formal English is “you”. If the question is informal English, it of course varies with the vernacular in question, which varies by country, region, class (something Americans pretend doesn’t exist), and race. I agree “y’all” is not only in the South, though it was...

    Speak of the Devil: Saying the real name of the Old One (Greyhawk’s Iuz) or any devil or demon attracts their attention. This isn’t specific to 3.5e for me - used it when I first DM’d, which was Oriental Adventures “1.75e” in 1987.

    Effects of tariffs on game sales (e.g. US/Canada shipments) (No Politics!)

    The China extra 10% tariff is still on, I think, but Canada and Mexico off, maybe EU coming soon. Hard to keep up.

    Effects of tariffs on game sales (e.g. US/Canada shipments) (No Politics!)

    Production requires time, capital investment, and hiring. Chaos - like will they or won’t they tariffs - discourages capital investment and hiring until things are less unpredictable. It’s not like finance, where all the investors can jump in or out of NVIDIA stock in minutes on a rumor they...

    Huh? Internet tells me Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Mississippi - in that order - produce the most paper.

    Effects of tariffs on game sales (e.g. US/Canada shipments) (No Politics!)

    To answer of the OP’s questions, tariffs are charged as good cross the border. So, for goods that already sitting in a store or warehouse on your side of the border, no tariff. That said, any refresh of stock will be more expensive, so retailers are already raising prices and there’s a run on...
