I went digging through some old notes and came across this idea I thought was worth sharing. I took Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and made a list of 30 needs. The hierarchy is in five tiers, with the lowest being the most fundamental and the highest being the most abstract or esoteric. Hence the...

Looking forward to the inevitable "this game sucks" thread in six months.

Incredibly frustrating. It's hard to live in a world when other humans are so chronically disconnected from reality. But that's the thing, it does effect other people. Because the believer of false things will not keep their nonsense to themselves (spreading the nonsense to other people, like...

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?
