That certainly matches my experience. Boring and serious? Nah. Sounds like torture. The only way to make D&D even minimally palatable is to make it gonzo and goofy.

Margaret Weis out here spitting stone-cold facts like Toon is more fun than D&D.

Not here. Not even ENWorld. Holy hell that is the dumbest thing I'm going to read all week. Maybe all year. You just cost me IQ points with how dumb that was.

I can think of a few people that applies to.

In book publishing it’s usually about 18 months between submission of manuscript and publication date.

We must be reading different threads. There's not much nuance surrounding the game I'm talking about. Outside discussions about That One Perfect Game, sure there's plenty of nuance.

LOL. This place would be a ghost town. Right? There's no problem with the game, the game is perfect, therefore the problem is you.

The flip side is The Game Is Perfect Guy. Me: This is the sort of game I don't enjoy. TGIPG: You must be the problem because the game is perfect. Me: And this other game is what works for my group. TGIPG: That's not possible, that game is trash because it's different from the perfect game...

People always think about the butterfly effect in time travel scenarios but ignore it in their daily lives in the here and now. I’m generally a very pessimistic person, but this is some next level pessimism.

That’s the part most people never realize. The problem isn’t that people are disappointing, it’s that you expect them not to be.

All RPGs are play pretend with extra steps.

Just finished Perry Rhodan #3, The Radiant Bell. Only took me 1.5 hours but far too long to get that time in. The first 2/3 of this one was “As you know, Bob…” dialogue along with catch-up description and synopsis of what’s happened so far. The story, such as it is, centered around a constant...

There's a whole lot of which comes first: the group or the game. For some people the group comes first. It doesn't matter what they play as long as it's the people they want to play with. For some people the game comes first. It doesn't matter who they play with as long as it's the game they...

Exactly. It's not the grin-and-bear-it people that are the problem. If any gaming is better than no gaming for someone, then they'll not endlessly complain about how the game sucks at the table or in text, etc. If, however, they're the type to endlessly complain about how the game sucks while...

Oh. Is she a native speaker?

Despite being an actor, Travis visibly checks out every time there's a shopping episode.

You'd clearly rather be playing a Civilization game on Settler...so go play one. You'd clearly rather be playing a co-op legacy boardgame...so go play one. You'd clearly rather be playing a Rogue-like or a Souls-like...so go play one. You'd clearly rather be playing a mega-dungeon with...

What I’ve done for most of C3 is watch an hour or two “live” then ignore it. If it’s something important, Matt will recap it at the start of the next episode. If there some big moment, it’ll be talked about or clipped in a dozen places by morning. If it’s one of the dreaded shopping episodes, I...

Invincible takes an early lead for me as it looks far lighter than Outgunned.
