He's an oligarch billionaire who p*ss on working people and spend his days at Maralago playing Game of Thrones. This dude getting real power that affects us all is scary. But I couldn't care less about his opinion on our elf games.

I've been on Bluesky for a while, but this did remind me to actually delete my X account. Done.

Savage Worlds: been GMing a fun SW Pathfinder urban campaign. Currently waiting for the Sci Fi Companion to be Foundryfied, then I’ll start up a massive longterm Travelleresque campaign. Dungeon Crawl Classics: My current passion, so much fun! OSR stuff: prepping on the side for a full Rappan...

I started my gaming with The Fantasy Trip, Traveller and Runequest in the early 80ies. D&D came much later, and was just one system among many.

Awesome!

Video clips is the worst way of communication in the human history, so of course I didn't waste my time watching it. But from a dungeon rational perspective, I don't really see why repeatedly poking beings deep into their sensory organs with a rapier is a worse combat method than slashing them...

Good reading! But as my group only game via Foundry VTT, I really wish for official and full Traveller support for Foundry, with premium modules etc. Yes, one can use the TwoD6 workaround, but it's still too techy and fiddly for an old humanities dude like myself. Mongoose, my wallet is open...

Haven’t been a player since the 80ies, I’m simply not interested.

Allright. First, I might have lied at no. 1 :) I'm a long time happy user of the x-draft tools and like having manual control of my maps. But lately I've been using Dungeon Alchemist for basic fantasy battle maps, and it's simply amazing at what it does. Would I like a similar tool for...

1 Not very. 2 Pretty important (pun intended). 3 Yes. 4 No. 5 Yes.

As a GM I don't care about character mathematical balance, as long as each character can be useful in many different situations - that's in systems which I use with a roleplaying focus (not necessarily what focus the system have). But I'm more and more drawn to OSR:ish stuff and a focus on...

Rolex, since Dalton Bond is best Bond!

True. On the other hand they are milking for all it's worth now, happy times :)

Commercially I think WotC has been on the right track since 3e, but have refined the process with 5e. Release edition with lots of broken stuff, let the fan debate rage for a while, make errata but keep most broken stuff. While the debate temp keeps on being high, release a supplement book with...

As to 80ies esthetics and D&D: Yes, for me 80ies fantasy movies are way more Dungeon Crawl Classics than D&D, but without the tech or budget to make the gonzo and grand elements non-comic. Imho that's why movies like Krull are such amazing golden nuggets with sweet cheese filling. And that's why...

If it was me as I were in the early eighties who got the job, the budget would probably be minimal. So chances are I would go with soft pr0n Italian fantasy, throw in a bad stop motion dragon and even worse non-lip synched dubbing, and call it a day.

AD&D was my first meeting with the system, but these days I vastly prefer OSE Advanced for a similar experience.

That's because he has a permanent, seriously upcasted Shillelagh on his staff, and a Robe of Mithril Full Plate +5.

Normally I buy a couple of modules per year for the systems I GM. Most I never run as I usually do sandboxy campaigns, but use as inspiration and as examples of that the creator think an adventure in the system should look like. But I'm currently on a Dungeon Crawl Classics high, and have...

I actually like this series. Yes, there are serious lore flaws, but it's not that bad as modern TV adaptions go. If the show is allowed to run its course it will probably serve as a pretty good prequel story to the Jackson trilogies. In one way I guess I've resigned to the fact that for someone...
