Oh no, not CNC'd lol. Woodcut laser. Like these I can find USB drives for $1.40 each. So not a huge cost impact to the end boxed set (the most expensive item is the box itself). Dry erase can get spendy though. The best I could find are 9x12 sheets for $2.13 each. A couple of those can...

Every time these types of discussions come up (deifying or demonizing someone), I try to take a step back and look at it a bit differently. I think the collective we often make judgments about a person as a whole based on snippets of if information we get from them. Contrasted to that by people...

These are certainly some good ideas. Wood minis are about the same weight as cardboard. A 50x50cm map is pretty big. Even folded that might take up a lot of space. I'm really hearing that beyond the initial adventure, folks want replayability. So perhaps a 9x12" grid, where you just use it to...

For real. Of my last 5 Shadowdark PCs, only one survived more than a couple hours of real time game play ;)

Not really a starter set. A boxed set version of the game. For example, what would you want in a boxed for the D&D game in general, or the WHFRP game, etc.

When purchasing a boxed set, what do you want them to include inside? Keep in mind that publishers are looking at challenging times with tariffs, especially boxed sets which are subject to the full tariff amount. What this means is that you're looking at either spending triple what you're used...

Even then, how often do PCs drop to 0 hp in 5e? Not that often IME. For 1d4 + 1/2 your level?

But still super squishy because you're stuck in light armor?

Yeesh, the hexblade no longer grants armor or weapon proficiencies. So your "spectral blade" has to be a simple weapon?

Just started, and right away this stood out: How often do they think players are using Spare the Dying? That seems really weak for something almost never used.

I was lucky enough to spend an entire afternoon with Rose in her shop a year or so ago. Her relationship with Gary was...not the best. He would tell her things like, "The only job women are good for are secretaries and housewives--anyone else is a whore.", and telling her, knowing she was...

I remember hearing a story that a woman chatted with ChatGPT so long that she felt a genuine relationship with it. Then the limit hit, and she had to start all over again. She kept repeating this same pattern.

I'm a fan of most of these folks anyway, but Greg Davies is one of my top 5 all time favorite comedians. Even though he doesn't know D&D, he was a drama teacher, so he would fit right in lol. Ed Gamble calls him for advice during a streaming game of fellow celebrity comedians. Have to say...

I've mentioned before how TSR era was a textbook class on how not to run a business (both under Gygax and Williams), but Gygax is also the textbook example of why we shouldn't deify anyone. He was just a man. Did some great things, did some bad things. I've always thought celebrity culture to be...

My big ones are cooking gardening food preservation woodworking brewing writing (non gaming related)

I'm most curious to see the Borderlands boxed set, and how it looks in final form (with impact of tariffs). As someone toying with a boxed set myself, I have been particularly keen on seeing how other boxed sets are designed.

Judging by how management reacted to the pitch originally, I don't think its out of the realm of reality to think that they wouldn't have launched heavily into the novels without first having seen how successful those EQ books were. Which was my point, that the huge success of novels didn't...
