I dropped the real time torch timer almost immediately. i understand that it solves a problem some people have, but I did not have that problem so it was more of a PITA and intrusion than it was worth. I also dropped always on initiative early, too, mostly because I felt like that actually...

Mark Waid is easily my favorite writer and Irredeemable is indeed a great take on "evil Superman." I actually think the Injustice comics are another good take and maybe DC's best take.

Random thought: it would be a neat study/survey to go back and follow the development of D&D memes online from pretty much as soon as they started t appear to the present day. I bet we would learn a lot.

Right but you are going to need all new components and pretty much all the tokens and extra components that were in the Special Edition core set. It just seems like it would be cost prohibitive for someone to by half the game and then have to go buy the whole game again, when they can get the...

Yes. As we have discussed a hundred times, this is a place where we give our opinions.

Sure, if you want to take your time.

No, they all have equal ownership and interest in the thing, and equal input in the outcome. The idea of "GM as director" needs to go away.

Those places are rough. I wouldn't go without a gnoll buddy.

I am not sure they need a starter set given how much material is already out there for free, especially since I can't imagine they could ask much less than the core set for a good starter set.

We get it, you don't like Daggerheart.

My point was that the idea that stone age weapons can be used to take down a T-Rex is just laughable.

Basically this.

Stone age hunters did not go toe to toe with massive predators. They drove herds of horses off cliffs and chased a wounded deer for 3 days.

When considering what is true or maybe true about Middle Earth, you absolutely cannot just rely on The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. That is not how Tolkien built his world.

This is an important distinction and I agree with your point here. Re-using work you did is not the same thing as forcing an encounter in the moment regardless of what the PCs do. In my opinion, the most important aspect of RPGs, the thing that separates them from every other form of game, is...

I keep meaning to watch that series. I love the comics -- might be my favorite non-DC comic series after Astro-City -- but because of that I kind of shy away from the adaptation. Unlike the Boys, where I hated the comic but really love the show.

Someone did not grow up in the post apocalyptic outback and it shows.

As a former 11H, I recommend a TOW missile mounted on a Bradley.

There is a LOT about Daggerheart that reads as "this is how people play D&D in real life, so let's just make that the rule" to me.

I think people forget how much weird fantasy is in Tolkien. people think of elves and dwarves and boring fantasy stuff, but they forget about the Watcher in the Water and the unnamable things beneath the mountains and Tom "WTaF" Bombadil. ETA: not to mention the magitech sometimes steamtech Numenor.
