    RPG Evolution: Playing Your PC Poorly

    Keyleth to me seemed to be demonstrating things like the mechanical effect of Dragon Fear or failed saves. It seemed the role playing was informed by the mechanics more so than it started out that way. I actually prefer the dice to make the character appear weak. If players were casting the...

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    I don't know. But if I hear it and like it then I'll watch the show. If I think it sounds bad I'll drop the show. Vox had other things than bad Halfling bards and swearing that happened to be intriguing. But I'd never watch the show straight through again though I might watch some animation...

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    Who framed the complaint that way? Because I did not. I said I didn't like it. Other people thought I was talking about accuracy, trying to make a case out of it. If not for how Vox was animating fear and failed saves I probably would have dropped the show because of the dialogue.

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    No I didn't realize that. How silly of me. See above where I said speech used in shows like LOTR, Wheel of Time, Last Kingdom, Vikings.

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    So you missed where I said your "you want medieval was a straw man". Ok lets Focus in the Last Kingdom then. There's a whole range. But LOTR would be a far site better and I didn't think WoT was mumbling. If nothing else, Last Kingdom, Vikings, that is what I like to see.

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    Which works amazingly well in a movie set in the modern with those colloquialisms.

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    WHy would they not swear? Because its Aestetically unpleasing WHich Metaphors? I don't remember but I noted them when I heard them. I'd have to rewatch. Medieval Metaphors? Wasn't looking for that. I found the metaphors to meta from what I noted. I thought it was obvious I was talking...

    Worlds of Design: To Design or Publish?

    I have had part 5 of the Empire in Ruins campaign on backorder for months. Cubicle 7 informed me the print run was a complete botch (not their fault). Its been a tough run getting the hardcover WFRP Books. Most because of Snafus outlined above.

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    I'd be OK with that if it wasn't just a swear fest, Also MOdern Metaphors that don't work in context. That is what I don't like, to clarify. So its not the language I object to as much as the coloquial usages.

    Who Killed the Megaverse?

    Once you merge fantasy with Sci Fi the SCI no longer stands for SCIENCE.

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    I Don't. But I know what sounds modern. This was far to close to a night out on town listening to modern people. The show did animate rules situations well though so I was able to tolerate the modernisms. But it brought the show down for me. I especially dislike the Bard. Other than the...

    D&D 5E (2014) An Upcoming 5E Classic Setting in a Brand New Format: The Realm of the D&D Cartoon Show (?)

    Fair Enough. I just pray this doesn't happen. I don't like chibi art I can't immerse myself in a story with it.

    Who Killed the Megaverse?

    I am 100% convinced Gygax talk on Tolkein is all legal dodging to avoid the estate. The influences are obvious.

    RPG Evolution: What Makes a Show "D&D"?

    Once a show is relegated to a comedy I no longer am interested. Im not interested in my hobby being made fun of. The D&D Movie has always been a comedy and a drag. I don't mind some humor. I love Guardians of the Galazy humor, but I really really didn't like Thor Ragnarok (Again it felt like...

    D&D 5E (2014) An Upcoming 5E Classic Setting in a Brand New Format: The Realm of the D&D Cartoon Show (?)

    I doubt they are going to go there. The D&D Cartoon is thoroughly in Grognard Territory. They are no longer the target audience for D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) Paizo's 'The Abomination Vaults' Pathinder AP Coming to 5E

    I tend to use Brilliant in a british way more than the "Signifies intelligence" way

    D&D 5E (2014) Paizo's 'The Abomination Vaults' Pathinder AP Coming to 5E

    This is Paizo doing what they do. WOTC is going in a direction I don't like with adventures, from Coffee shops, to Iron Chef competitions, to just full on narrative adventures. Just like 2008 when WOTC put out a game system I didn't like Paizo was there with what I want. Here they go with a...

    TSR NuTSR Sells Rebound 1E Core Rulebooks For $650 Each

    This fool doesn't understand collecting. If there was a Captain America comic written as Captain AERICA i'd jump at it... because it was a print run error. Making a Book Derpy because you as a publisher don't catch the error is meaningless, unless he had a bunch more of these to do another...

    TSR NuTSR Sells Rebound 1E Core Rulebooks For $650 Each

    This guy must just think people are stupid. I can't fathom the logic behind this. He is truly a scam artist and I wish Ernie Gygax would separate from him.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Converting WFRP to 5e

    Why do you find it so? It clicked with me very quickly. Actually come to think of it there are alot of ambiguities you just kind of figure out. For example the fact lots of talents add success levels but it's not always clear what talent adds to what skill.
