    RPG Evolution: Game Cancelled, Now What?

    <insert meme> EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! </insert meme> ;) These days we play remote on a Sunday morning/afternoon. If they cancel early, I can sleep in! I still want to look for a fun boardgame we can play online that's good for three players for those days when we just want to chat/hangout online and...

    What's your VTT of choice?

    I don't mean a single person, I mean an entity, could be one, could be 20 working together. So they are all looking the same way. The problem is that all the different groups making these modules don't work together as such. I know that Foundry VTT isn't made by a single person, they have a...

    Theater of the Mind and VTTs: Oh Brave New World...

    Using Theater of the Minds and art/images is a bit contrary imho. But I get you want to get away from the tactical combat element. I get that, while we use tactical combat in our D&D 5e game, I do want to use more images as the thing we're looking at instead of constantly a combat map. As...

    What's your VTT of choice?

    That's because people have been trained to update-update-update. When a campaign in Foundry is running, you don't update if you do not need to. Is there a bug you really need fixed? Sure, update, but otherwise leave it alone! FG is a single developer. One thing to update, no conflicts. Foundry...

    Worlds of Design: A Pretty High Price

    You mean over 20 years ago... Twilight Imperium 3rd edition was already $80 in 2005, we left the $60 behind us a long, long time ago! And sure TI3 was a big chunky box, but I have more like those big boxes from that era, all were priced at $80. And FFG was not unique in that pricing scheme for...

    CMON to Publish 5E Books For Massive Darkness

    Massive Darkness is a board game, if you're not deep into board games, especially not KS board games, then it's not surprising people have never heard of it. Chances are that you only heard about it now because they're adding D&D 5e books to the KS...

    CMON to Publish 5E Books For Massive Darkness

    I'm very interested in this, but I'm not backing this,but I might pick up the pdfs when they are released.

    Shadowrun: How can they properly use Native Americans?

    But does it need any further support? Shadowrun: Anarchy => core rulebook Shadowrun: Chicago Chaos (Anarchy) => adventure campaign Shadowrun: Anarchy 2050 => 2050 setting and adventure/campaign conversion of old (1e) adventures It's rules light enough that you can pickup any SR...

    Shadowrun: How can they properly use Native Americans?

    Have been a fan of SR since 1e and have most of the 1e/2e/3e books on my bookshelves. The more recent editions I have in pdfs via Humble Bundles and Bundles of Holding. I don't like many of the newer 'fluf' directions they went with, where the internet now is more like another form of magic...

    What's your VTT of choice?

    Foundry VTT: Two years ago I went looking for a VTT as we were playing very irregularly (one of our people was not in the country and we would only play when they visited). One of my requirements was that it needed to be web based, no clients/plugins required. As we played very irregularly, I...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "I Was Not Fired From D&D"

    I think you're reading too much into that. People sometimes just stop posting due to all kinds of reasons, from avoiding a toxic environment to just not having the mental bandwidth to do it anymore. And maybe after a while realize that they can do without xyz (in this case Twitter) in their...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Honestly, what I read in the OP article sounds 'fake' from Mike Mearls, and quite honestly, a bit dishonest. Like the D&D fanboy that got disillusioned by his obsession, especially when he now works for Chaosium (which doesn't do D&D 5e compatible products at all as far as I can tell). What I...

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    I wonder how dedicated people are to your convictions? What about programmers using AI, AI trained on others code (without permission). This forum uses XenForo, what if the programmers there used AI in their writing code for this forum software? There are some good indicators that this is the...

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    But then they don't equal (or surpass) their human counter parts, as the mods do answer question about their mod decisions. And folks willing to pay for AI mods on here? Why? There are perfectly fine free mods currently active. The only people that would complain about the mods are those that...

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    I think that's an assumption, just like the line-welder in the car assembly plant said "Robots can never replace me!". AI moderators have the possibility of always being at the same state. Not being cranky due to a bad night, etc. You could get more consistent moderation, in theory. Question...

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    They just don't have room in the schedule, they need to rehash all the content from the last decade asap... ;) But the reality is that you got a Curse of Strahd once in eleven years and an Vecna: Eve of Ruin once in eleven years... Even if they move to a biannual campaign release schedule...

    RPG Evolution: You Can't Just Buy Hasbro

    EM isn't the only impatient person, many investors are, people want to make money now! ;) The problem is that you would need a person or group of people with enough money, patients/coherency for 5-10 years AND no profit in mind. Because D&D and Magic might be keeping Hasbro on live-support...

    RPG Evolution: You Can't Just Buy Hasbro

    Yes, as I said doing it slowly could work. But Hasbro/WotC stock isn't exactly volatile, so there's not traded much (1.5 million per day). As the US stock exchange is only open 5 days per week, and how much can you acquire per day without driving up the price consistently? Maybe 10% if you don't...
