    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I know it will end in disappointment. I don't know why I bother.

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th Edition Is Coming in 2026

    No, not using D&D 5E as the base. It's a revised WFRP 4E that's backwards compatible. Your books will still be usable with the new edition...wait...where have I heard that before? https://cubicle7games.com/en_EU/blog/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-fifth-edition-in-house-interview

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    Settings of Hope strike me as inherently unrealistic and break my suspension of disbelief. Settings of Despair are more realistic and are easier to suspend my disbelief. There's also more work to do in Settings of Despair. As Gradine and others have said, turning despair into hope is some of...

    Are we still supposed to pretend it's about taste instead of money?

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Yeah. You could easily switch casting times to costing X actions where X is the spell level. Fireball costs three actions, etc. It would help to drop things like bonus actions and switch to 2-3 actions per round.

    Geek Confessional Thread 2024 [NOW 2025!]

    Still true. 2001 is the single most overrated movie of all time. It’s the most boring film I’ve ever watched.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Malapropisms can be hilarious though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malapropism Such a great quote. Another, similar one from Doctor Who. “There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t act a little childish sometimes.”

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    Exactly. Mirth & Mayhem. You can have both whimsy and darkness. They're not mutually exclusive. I've always thought it more silly and childish to insist on the purest black grimdark without a hint of irony or glee than to have goofy elements like ducks and wolfkin and halflings.

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    Just have to add them all back in. Besides the awesome that is the system itself, a big draw is the races. Especially the ducks.

    Critical Role Reveals Soldiers' Table and Motivations

    The much discussed scene starts around the 51:30 mark. If we‘re talking about escalation, Primus insults her teeth as the 2-3 thing he says to her and her response is a literal F you. It goes hot from there rather fast.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    See also the JRPG inspired games like Fabula Ultima that did well over $1 million recently. Exactly. They‘ll sand off the rough edges and make it appeal to a modern audience, but they‘re also 100% trying for the nostalgia bait.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    To the complaint that D&D is marketed to kids, yes and no. Clearly they're marketing it to younger people in some respects, but those same younger people have zero nostalgia for Spelljammer, Planescape, Dark Sun, etc. They have zero nostalgia for Warduke and Venger. They have zero nostalgia...

    Tell me about VtM when it started

    When the Mage LARP rules were released we had a guy go around town spray painting utility poles with glyphs. He‘d use them to teleport around.

    Your top 5 sci-fi movies (and why)

    My favorite sci-fi author is Philip K. Dick, so I'm a big fan of mindscrew sci-fi stories. Despite having a few adaptations made of his work, most of them are not that great as movies and the best, Bladerunner, has already been listed a dozen times so no need to repeat that here. City of Lost...

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    I’m not sure I buy that as a criticism. The core box has a fleshed-out sandbox setting with the Misty Vale and the Secret of the Dragon Emperor. The Vale map covers about 150 km W-E and about 100 km N-S. That’s bigger than some “complete” settings.

    100% this. It’s a stellar movie in every way. The soundtrack kicks ass, too.
