    Trailer Superman Full Trailer

    I like the conflicts and that he has moods and is sometimes down- but overcomes them. Not having them and being forever naive is boring to me. Knowing that people might prove the worst but still believing the best- that's hope, not naivete, and that's where I like Superman to come from.

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I'm with you on it, but not that RMSS doesn't add anything for a reason. Training and character creation is easier to grasp in RM2 for non-RM players in my experience.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Friction and entropy are failing in this regard. The net is still +tive, to my chagrin.

    Trailer Superman Full Trailer

    Bill Gates announced that he is giving away 99% of his wealth while he's still alive. People still riffed on him for that, saying it was nothing and there was an ulterior motive. It's not being cynical- it's the world that's cynical. This one sold me on Corenswet(?) where I hadn't been sold...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I mean, the art is bad- don't get me wrong. The rules though. They went in the wrong direction. That's what turned me off.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I haven't been able to quit it, only slow it down a bit.

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    Same. I was just getting ready to type this. I was excited when I heard of it, and now only have the first book, even though three(?) are out now.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    If I did this, I'd be posting all the time. I have a problem with crowdfunding...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    Hey, me and my group played and ongoing game of World of Synnibarr. We had fun in spite of the game system, not because of it!

    Spoilers THUNDERBOLTS* (spoilers I guess?)

    I still say it's worse, though that's only measuring the difference between nightmares. Cloak and Dagger anyone? And they had the show right there!

    Spoilers THUNDERBOLTS* (spoilers I guess?)

    If it was anything like what we saw for Yelena, et al, it was much worse than the blip. With the blip, it was literally that- they were gone then they were back. They showed that several times. With this, they were in their worst nightmares. I'd think it would be much much worse and keep...

    This? Or something else?

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    No game is 'dead' as long as it's alive for someone, IMO. Now, it might be little heard of or very hard to obtain, but the thing about this particular medium is that it doesn't take much for a game to be played and enjoyed.

    California bill (AB 412) would effectively ban open-source generative AI

    The point is, you're only right about two of these. It does have experiences and these color the way that subsequent data is interpreted and contextualized, just as it does for us.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    They were already 20%, but I don't think there was a tolerance from the American people to raise it to 30%. That's nearing 1/3 of the price of goods.

    Spoilers THUNDERBOLTS* (spoilers I guess?)

    I don't think that it is a monetary reliance - they rely on it for their tech, which they use to drive their economy. They don't export it, so not sure that other than it giving others the ability to start to try to catch up/keep up, that the idea would hold water. I like the angle that they...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    If you told people on March 31 that we'd have 30% tariffs on China in May, they would have reacted very poorly. This is still economically destructive and stupid (and ripe for corrupt exemptions). I used this method on my mother way back as a teenager if she was complaining about the volume...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Oh... it's a 10% increase? That's not the way it's being reported, so that's good to know.

    Spoilers THUNDERBOLTS* (spoilers I guess?)

    I think that BNW had a good movie in there- they should have just gone with less is more if they weren't going to go all the way. Sidewinder was a nothingburger and those parts pulled it down, for all that Giancarlo Esposito put into it. If there had been less with such a star they could have...

    Sinners (2025)

    If you look on the multiple layers part, the epilogue is definitely needed. Think about the time that both said they were the happiest and what that meant? It needed to be said as a punctuation to the statement, IMO. There's a lot of commentary in the movie- some less subtle than others. And...
