Too...many...tempting...delicious...starter boxes!!!!!

Looks like I'll be moving to the New Berlin, NY area some time in the next couple of months. That's roughly halfway between Uitica and Sydney or Oneanta. I'm 60 years old, but I usually get mistaken for 10 years younger, and almost everyone I game with is younger. I've been playing rpgs since...

BIND has me intrigued for their approach alone.

The approach/attitude you describe here is the real culprit, I think. You can have an army of talented, experienced people, but if the folks in charge don't know what they want then you get a mess. Relatedly, if the folks in charge don't agree on what they want or don't communicate what they...

I'm going to assume you're trying to say that there are 1E clones that do 1E better than 1E (although that would be subjective), and not that there are 1E clones that do 1E better than the OP's version would.

When the pandemic hit I was just about to start running a game for our group. I decided to run it virtually, and HATED it. After a couple months I have up. Then someone else in the group ran something virtually, and they managed the interface better. But after months and months of that, when we...

Although some of the features in newer cars are super-handy, I really miss being able to reach over without looking and just press a button or turn a knob. Now I have to navigate a menu while driving. Who thought this was a good idea? In what way is this an improvement? I have ADD - this is...

Did you play much superhero stuff back then after you discovered D&D. I just find peoples' paths through gaming genres interesting. I weirdly played very little of the original Marvel rpg - we went from Villians & Vigilantes and then pretty much straight to DC Heroes. To be more precise, me and...

I have a real fondness for this game, having played an awful lot of it back in its heyday. I remain a massive fan of its 3x3 grid of stats, where each column and row created a secondary stat. Brilliant.

I regret not getting the original core books and the DDG in print, so I'll not make that mistake this time!

The rancid cherry on top of my slice of $#!+ cake today is that my foul, foul supervisor has been promoted to manager. He refers to women as "females". It's a day for at best thoughtless white men, I guess.

[checks policy] OMG - me neither! [hordes blankets]

Our customers regularly include us in group email discussions amongst their team about an upcoming print order with us, just as a "friendly heads-up". NO. Stop doing this. Send us the request when you have your $#!+ together. Yeesh.

If Douglas Adams gave us gated reverb*, the universe is indeed a very odd place. Knowing that the universe is indeed a very odd place, I am content with this newly-discovered fact. * the distinctive sound of drums in '80s popular music, natch.

Okay - The Aegean had me from the name alone, but PsychoDungeon takes the cake here. Very interested!

I mean, I get it, and it's probably a balance issue. I guess you could represent the "Tie your camel first, and then put your trust in Allah" approach by getting some levels in Fighter before going Cleric.

If masteries represent skill-at-arms beyond Proficiency, then war clerics as-is either: a) aren't capable of that kind of skill with weapons - in which case, why not? or b) their weapon skills are limited (by their god, I assume?) to only whatever buffs their god (i.e. war domain class...

Weapon masteries/properties really kick things up a notch in terms of setting things up for one or more subsequent attacks against the same target. Fighters get more masteries than anyone else, so they have more ways to do this. I just don't understand why fight-y-oriented subclasses don't get...

Literally one of my favorite movies of all time, but I totally get people not liking it or even can't stand it. I find the pacing and artistry of it mesmerizing.
