Jasus this is disheartening. I've been trying very hard to just push past the online catastrophizing that gets amplified by outrage driven algorithms, but this is naked greed presented without shame or obfuscation in the slightest. My overall negative outlook on the effect of AI generated...

I think the danger here is confusing "good" as in to be viewed or to view oneself as morally correct and upright with "Good" as a game term, like "Lawful Good." That is a purely game term. It should no more exist in the setting than hit points.

So typically, what makes an ancestry not work is power level more than alignment expectations. A medusa doesn't work in my campaigns due to its abilities being far outside the curve for PCs, not due to it being typically evil. When it comes to species in the game and alignment, looking at the...

Honestly, it's more important for me that the other players at the table approve any new additions to their number. My players do the heavy lifting for vetting.

I'm likely to be running Scum and Villainy sometime soon and basically just run it as legally distinct Star Wars.

1987-1999. A good run of 12 years. But they were also some of the leanest years of the IP. In many ways, West End Star Wars helps keep the IP alive.

What hurts is how much Star Wars is both a great and terrible IP for a game license. There is a ton of lore that can be tapped for dozens of possible books, but it can feel too big.

Such is the fate of all Star Wars games, or really, all license based games.

The oldest DnD book I still have on my shelf because nothing has ever even come close to replacing it.

What a fascinating premise. Simplest answer I can give is what the child of divorce I am would recognize it as: Joint custody.

I will continue to advocate for tables to be willing to share economic burdens as evenly as everyone is comfortable with. A table of five players and 1 GM who each contribute $15 can be buying $120 worth of resources, which can really be stretched well. In comparison to some other geek...

I have every other time. Why would I stop now? How quickly is a separate question. I am holding out till next year and the expected printing of a boxed, LFGS alt cover collection of all 3 books.

It's Reeve. Right here. I feel bad. This scene is such a high bar.

So I'm running multiple campaigns and more and more, I want to develop them more cleanly. World Anvil sells itself as a service that could help. But I want some non sponsored takes on the service. 1) Are there any good video or written reviews for the service you can recommend? 2) Have you...

This isn't rocket science. Who is going to buy a rules book? Possibly anyone. Who is going to buy an Adventure? DMs, and even then mostly ones who plan to run them. I rarely run written adventures and only have purchased Ghosts of Saltmash, which I foolishly did in the hopes of real seafaring...

What I need to know is: A) are we seeing simultaneous or staggered releases? and B) Will there be a 3 book boxed set with FLGS covers? For A, I would prefer to have simultaneous release, with a clear date, so I can budget now. I am a DM and would just prefer to get them all at once. If it is...

I wish I got to run Paranoia enough to justify a new edition. But I already heavily invested in the previous one.

Meh. I am not interested in people going into excruciating detail about why the don't like a game. Tell me what works in your favs.
