Mystery Men. Even though I like more powerful supers in the genre itself, that movie was one of the few that had heart and characters that didn't feel like they were made in a corporate boardroom, nor a plot that felt 'big studio sanitized'). Since the genre became big, everything that's come...

That's how I feel as well. Personally 'grimdark' sums up everything I dislike about modern fantasy. I like heroic fantasy, and I like the older swords and sorcery (at least from the 60s-70s). But Grimdark isn't for me at all. However it's popular, and if someone shows off a good live play...

Late to the party here but... This is how I've felt mostly about assorted 'special' and 'limited' covers. I often avoid special editions because they have blander covers than than the normal art. That's how I felt here - the cover we're discussing is the regular one. The limited one that's...

I see AI Art the same way I see a camera 'back in the day', and then 'Photoshop' back in another day. It is a new tool. In the late 90s I actually took some printing classes and graphic design classes right before all of that become completely and not just mostly obsolete. I learned how to...

To a point he has a point, then he steps past it. I like the use of AI for things like added elements in your home table. I don't want AI content I buy or sub to. But I think it can be handy to flesh out a description in a home made adventure. It runs the risk of babbling too much like one of...

Calling their game engine Starstone is highly indicative of these folks at least being pathfinder geeks.

We're in an age of decentralized, balkanized media. 20+ years ago if I liked Star Trek and you like Star Wars we'd see each other as in the same fandom and just argue about which was better. Now if we were both Gen-whatever-comes-after-Z and I'm into 'this' but you're into 'that' we might not...

I'm very surprised that this poll is favoring Foundry as of my typing this on March 1st, 2025 by a margin of ~16% over the next entry. While there aren't that many votes, this forum has always seemed to be extremely pro-DnD and semi-hostile to other games. Every Pathfinder thread for example...

That depends on the tRPG you're looking to join. It's pretty bad for RPGs that mostly exist on other VTTs; which should be somewhat obvious as it'd be kind of weird to post an ad on roll20 for a game you're running on a competitor. For Pathfinder folks, Discord is the key to finding groups...

Gygax was everywhere, everywhen. ;)

Sims 4. Otherwise I most avoid them. Not because I don't like them, but because too many of them trigger addictive behavior and that's a large reason why for 20 years I stopped doing tRPGs, stopping reading, and stopped writing. It's way to easy to spend 8 hours after work picking herbs in WoW...

They have stated, as each book sells out and comes up for a reprint, that it is errata and will get PDF updates and that if you already own it, what's coming out in the reprint is just errata. That's been stated each time this has occurred - which thus far is only twice. Changes seen for GnG...

That's just not true.

Those aren't remasters. They're errata. Anyone who owns the old PDFs got them updated free. They're putting remaster sticker on them - which I feel is a bad move. But the contents are errata which is in free PDF updates AND on the website's FAQ. I actually stated that above. Several times. So...

That actually works to your favor in the Pathfinder world. The character maker that almost everyone uses is PC and Android only. I like Android in concept, but prefer Apple in practice due to one single reason: privacy. Everything else is better in Android - but the cost of 'being the product'...

They have stated this several times and they are... kind of... sticking to it. They ONLY planned to remaster what has already been remastered: The core rulebook, the advanced players guide, and bestiary, and the Gamemastery guide. These all got rewritten as new core books. In a sense the last...

This is a reason for consumers to make the move to PDF. With Paizo, when there is an errata level change you get it in a PDF update. That includes the Guns and Gears book. But it did not include Player Core's 1 & 2, GM Core, and other books being labeled as 'Core'. The books that are 'soft...

In one set of places I read that DnD often skips level 1-2 and starts at 3. I think I even saw that recommended in the new 5.5 player book. In other places I read that games rarely go past level 10. That means you're all getting a very cropped down experience. How is that at all tolerated? If...
