    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Here's a partial list. Perhaps if defaults are used, there are no problems, I don't know. But I don't have the inclination to troubleshoot an installer when the user changes defaults to custom values -- it's easier to use a different product...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Installer / updater is complete garbage. If you cannot get that step of your software correct, it doesn't inspire any confidence for the actual application itself. I would have refunded this if I'd paid money for it.

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    When presented with 'modular design', I thought of swappable modules, representing specific powers or abilities, whereby one can be substituted for another. Each module could be assigned a point value for comparison with other modules to gauge balance. The point values might be opaque, or...

    What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

    That sounds fun, I've never played in one of those either. Anything that called for a grizzled, old Ranger to leave the forest that he knows for the complete unknown of the dungeon would possibly work, with the right hook.

    Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun - First Impressions

    If it's sufficiently popular with players and DMs, then the pre-scripted story could be another step along the evolutionary path of the RPG. Eventually the computer handles all of the processing, you feed it your desired outcomes, then strap in, attach the VR headset, and off you go in your...

    Spoilers Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    I watched about half of the first episode, it seemed pretty standard at best - typical serialized fantasy fare, I don't know that I'll go back to it. Hunters with longbows chasing after deer (on foot!) and shooting at the deer while both hunter and target are moving is pretty absurd. It would...

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Before I discontinued imbibing them thirty years ago, I called it Dr. Pepper or nothing. I'd even made the pilgrimage to the Dr. Pepper Museum. These days, black coffee provides all my caffeine requirements.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I don't know ... Jimmy Dean sausages are pretty darn awesome. Much better than those trash Bert Saxby sausages.

    Spoilers Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    If the "dual-shooting" style pictured in this marketing image was predominant in this series, I'd say the show could give 'Men in Tights' a run on its money for becoming a cult classic. There's all sorts of comedy potential here.

    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    Nine Princes in Amber would be the fantasy standout or exception to my general preference of 'lack of advanced technology in fantasy', but I'd also accept 'out-of-place' fiction (A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Three Hearts & Three Lions, etc). If in their story, a GM made the...

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    Idris Elba was great in the MCU Thor movies despite not matching most pre-MCU visual depictions of Heimdall - probably my favorite MCU Asgardian overall

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    Yes - assuming the players were either veterans or really adept at playing characters at varying levels of proficiency, or both, there would seem to be some unique overall challenges for a game that used this kind of structure that wouldn't be present in a more traditional long-term campaign...

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    I wonder if any success has ever been had with a campaign that wasn't strictly linear - where the players had x different character sheets for each level of their character from 1 to x, and on any given session, the GM would run an adventure from any point along a possible timeline, that perhaps...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm going to have to reverse myself regarding a stance that I took earlier about MtG Whenever this product is released, I will have to begin collecting - I must have everything in this set. Now granted, it's probably not enough to get me actually playing the game, but based on my unabashed...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Going great so far -- when the fat starts to congeal on top, I just blowtorch the surface a bit so that it looks a little nicer for the next Trick-or-Treater

    Ken Burnside on how screwed Asmodee is

    If I were Embracer, I would have at least wanted the 'Saudi investor arrangement' committed to paper, rather than merely a spoken deal. But the arts & entertainment and leisure industries don't have the options for shuffling money around that the tech industry enjoys, q.v. the current 'nVidia...
