Probably because those of us who actually introduce people to the game and such find the idea of trying to change the game to something more akin to 3e as sort of offensive and infuriating. If OSRIC is to be an AD&D, it should be that, not some hybrid fantasy heartbreaker. The polls make it...

One of the beginning threads where they were discussing changes and things to change. It was posted in the OP some time ago. K&K thread jcboney brings up some really relavant points that I didn't see really get answered.

That's actually a really good observation regarding soccer and 4e that I had never even thought of before! I'll have to think on those parallels you bring up. Who are the controllers though, or what part do they play in futbal/soccer?

So, I read some REALLY BAD things about this in it's development (JCBoney basically covered a lot of reservations in the development thread on K&K). Is this some monster hybrid that is trying to win players over but isn't really 1e at all anymore, or is this actually still a 1e clone? I...

@Sacrosanct and @Aellic Mornbringer , I love the pictures that you guys posted here. Love the TSR shelf and love the shelf of books you had (I have around 3x that many D&D/RPG related D&D books if you count magazines like Dungeon, Dragon, White Dwarf, etc), but I don't have the cool artwork at...

I don't mind Genisys, but probably because I can't connect it to the rest of the films. There's just no way it can happen in the same universe as any of the other films, thus it has to be it's own thing. Sort of like that separate Star Trek line they made with the new Star Trek movies (which...

1. Most starter sets are made for people who have already played RPGs. It can be self evident in how many of them are written and made. They go over the rules and then dump and adventure on you. This can work for someone who's played before, but for someone who has no idea what it is or...

I believe they are referring to the Beginner Boxes that Paizo has. Excellent choices for starting into RPGs, and with the exception of the Essentials Kit, the ONLY one I actually suggest to beginners these days. Most starter sets are worthless for beginning RPG players. They are okay at...

The Wood probably is the best one of the choices. Another option that could be good though, is what Paizo has done with cardboard standees.

Oh dear, I've seen all the John Wick movies, all the Fast and Furious movies, and unfortunately, all the Terminator Movies. (That have been released thus far).

No, I didn't. Wasn't quite sure what to do. It wasn't mandatory, it just sort of popped up when trying to pay with a CC. I didn't quite know how to react.

Microsoft Surface is sort of like a TV. I think a large part of it dealt with the TVs of the past where it used other technology than the ones we use today. LED's and OLEDs are probably easier to have their sides than the older types of TVs where it had a lot of weight and such on the back...

So, hear me out, as this relates directly to RPGs. I recently bought a few RPG books from a company that I'm pretty certain is operated mainly from the UK, and specifically in England. I believe I know who the owners (knowing who they are and knowing them personally are two different things, I...

In my area 3rd edition was NEVER in the big box stores or even retail stores for the most part. Even AD&D was in more retail stores than 3e was in my area of the world and where I visited. Retailers that had held the late AD&D 2e stuff (such as the now extinct Mediaplay or other locales)...

Interestingly enough, I'm not sure why everyone says Keep on the Shadowfell is a bad adventure. I ran it (admittedly, long ago when it came out) and we had a blast with the module. I've had quite a few 5e adventures that were a LOT worse than it (the original Rise of Tiamat and Hoard of the...

Only one I've even tried thus far was Abomination Vaults. We didn't get far. That is sort of cheating though, since they made a version converted for 5e and that's the version I was using. (they also have a semi-converted version for Kingmaker, but that's more just an additional book with...

IMO.... I think over the past year or two sales were finally beginning to fall a bit for 5e, and seeing that trend was one of the driving forces to reinvigorate the brand. In addition, there was the drive to focus on D&D beyond and online ventures, and they needed a vehicle that was not out...

As with all live-action remakes of movies from the 70s or later...the question is...why? What purpose do they do this for? The other animated one came out not so long ago, so why make a remake? I am so going to go see this. I suppose that may be why?

Well, Coke rules the roost of soft drinks, but I'll take a Mountain Dew over a Coke anyday of the week. I'll take a Gatorade over a Powerade any hour of the day. I'll take a Mug Rootbeer (or just about any Rootbeer, Barq's is a really bad tasting rootbeer) over Barq's just about anytime. And...

If it has character creation (even if it is with cards) than it's going to be pretty awesome. Cards is a smart way to go, in this case. I feel that their usage will make it easier for new comers to understand the ideas behind it and able to physically select the choice and place it on a mat or...
