But there was a time when you played it semi-regularly? Twenty years ago, I used to log into EverQuest fairly regularly - the cycle has slowed - I may log into in once a year or one-and-a-half years, just for a brief taste before going on to other things. NMS never quite reached that point.

In the alternate universe in which I'm still alive in 2044, I'd probably buy the books just to check them out. I'm a mortal 'Uatu the Watcher', observing all the moments dispassionately, but with a certain curiosity.

My experience is similar - I'll get interested by something, an update maybe, try it again briefly, and the game's loop will push me away from it once again.

Sounds like corpo-speak needs a healthy dose of internet shorthand - they should preface their financial tweets with 'ngl' so that everyone knows they're sincere.

One of the neat things about Tolkienian cosmology is that other philosophies can be applied to it better than or as well as Catholicism - there's a cyclical nature, and recurring motifs in many of the stories that could easily fit Buddhism/Stoicism/Existentialism/Epicureanism. The beautiful and...

I've never played and have no intention of playing MtG. I prefer Silmarillion to LotR. I watched 'The Force Awakens', thought it was very meh, and haven't bothered with the other two sequel films. I've no interest in reading Dune. I think Denis Villanueve is a great filmmaker though...

If there's one conclusion to be drawn from the above, it's that there's obviously room for more VTT environments for different aesthetic tastes/hardware specs - I'd enjoy seeing Sigil continue to grow & take shape in under a different oversight/management arrangement: private (sold)...

I've used '5.5E' and '5E2024'.

Will this use the 5.5 ruleset? My wife and I enjoyed playing Solasta - if this improves upon that, I can see us playing this co-op. If finances (or significant discounts) allow, I could probably talk her into playing BG3 together in the interim.

Yes, I used to enjoy shooting a 70# Bear Kodiak when I was a strapping young buck, but I prefer recurves in the 45 - 50# range these days. =)

An article concerning the influence of Arthurian cycle (whether specifically from Geoffrey of Monmouth, or Mallory, or Chrétien de Troyes) and its influences on and similarities to LotR. https://journals.tolkiensociety.org/mallorn/article/download/118/112 By the modern day, there are many...

I played 3E more than I played B/X and 1E. At least seven different campaigns over however many years. It was fun, probably more for the cameraderie than the rules themselves. One of the campaigns was set in the Warhammer world, for which I have no particular fondness, but my character and...

I have several, I'm sure I could loan one out - what's your preferred draw weight?

I used to, when I was much younger and everyone with whom I played was also - I'd probably be too self-conscious to do it in the presence of others my own age now, especially strangers. =)

I'm not familiar with the expression "'marks' class" and "'smites' class" - is that just colloquial for the classes that do those actions/have those features? (I have no knowledge of 2014, only 2024).

I'm in the cohort that strongly prefers to read the books over watch shows adapted from them - I was never a part of its intended audience. I'm glad that it may introduce more readers to Tolkien's writing, but I have no intention of watching it, nor review bombing it - its a potentially...

I had just downloaded it yesterday and was enjoying playing around in its environment. Were I part of a regular remote/online game, I'd have loved to use this - beautiful visuals and sound, a strong tactile interface & presentation.

it apparently became popular when the assumption became that lying (even about trivialities) was the default position

I couldn't make it through the first book, but I'd probably watch the show if it was well-executed.

I tried this one - it seemed a bit clunky with searching through pages for the (what happens next) keyword, and I think I got a bit bored with it once I went in a circle without stumbling across how to get to the next major clue / plot point. Did anyone play it through to the end and have a...
