Yeah. I'm kinda the same. The core is all about centering the PCs and making the story theirs along with heavy use of collaborative worldbuilding. Not sure how that works with typical adventures. Maybe they'll surprise us with something like modular hooks and villains. Exactly. A $30 PDF plus...

Right, but it's a player who knows enough about the game to decide ahead of time which class they want to play. So they either already have the book (which means they have all the cards and don't need these), or they're going off the SRD, or they're an assumed buyer of the stand-alone book that...

The Kickstarter is kinda weird to me. Who is this for? Players who don’t want to buy the full core set? They aren’t selling just the book. Not yet at least. So that should be assumed in the near future though not announced yet. Players using the SRD? There are artless cards to print. So this...

Oh hell yeah. Can’t wait to see that.

You want to debunk the existence of ghosts? Here goes. The US South is not overrun with millions of ghost stories centered around the angry ghosts of enslaved people. Germany and Eastern Europe are not overrun with millions of ghost stories centered around the angry ghosts of the Nazi’s victims...

I got nothing. If they’re doing it manually that does not fill me with confidence.

Someday I'll learn to not bother. I wish it was sooner rather than later.

I lost interest in M&M during the release of 3E. But I'll still buy the core book regardless. I hope they release the "playtest" version as a PDF instead of keeping it physical on-site only.

I absolutely love them. Makes things so, so much easier at the table. I hack Blackjack opposed rolls into most roll-under systems because it makes more sense than any other method I've come across yet.

I always come back to mushrooms. How many people died trying the different varieties of mushrooms and why would they keep on trying to find the edible ones? I guess it's a bit of "We're going to die anyway, might as well risk it." But still. And once agriculture is discovered, all the...

Yeah. That thought goes through my head regularly. I'm the primary cook at my house so I'm always encountering ingredients and recipes that make me wonder about that. How desperate were they to try that? How did they randomly come across this complicated series of steps to make that edible?

The great thing about Eeyore as a character is that it shows kids what kindness and compassion looks like. Eeyore's friends in the Hundred Acre Wood never abandon him despite his sullen disposition and depression. He's legit a walking poster child for mental health and his friends keep on...

The human brain has evolved to see faces and patterns as a survival trait. Far more likely there was a vague pattern in the mustard and the student's brain filled it in as a child's hand print. Similar to your story, I had a philosophy lecture where we talked about knowledge. The prof lead the...

No, ghosts aren't real. Low-frequency sound does weird things to people's brains. https://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/extrasensory-perceptions/infrasound-paranormal-activity.htm

We've been talking about it since Saturday over here. https://www.enworld.org/threads/sword-world-rpg-official-english-translation-by-mugen-gaming.714547/

The Daggerheart license has been updated to include clarification on actual plays and a few other bits. In all some good changes. https://darringtonpress.com/license/

Prepping a Modiphius Discworld game.

Adventuring is all the fun and exciting bits that separate what the PCs are doing from the ordinary life of an average person in the setting and from the ordinary lives of the players at the table. Danger, suspense, thrills, amazing locations, terrible monsters, etc. All of it.

Great summary. Heel turn is the perfect phrase for this. Goodman spent years (decades) building up a stellar reputation for products and inclusivity, including denouncing Bledsaw on camera while sitting next to Jennell Jaquays. Then he set the whole thing on fire with a single announcement and...

Finished this last night. A peppering of decent advice through the second half of the book. Worth the read to reinforce what others have said better. Game Master’s Handbook of Proactive Roleplaying and Return of the Lazy DM have far more detail and far more actionable material that covers the...
