Yeah, you are always going to have folks playing and never paying. Though, most owners I speak to are cool with it as folks that do buy stuff tend to make up for it. Having a bunch of people playing is always better than having two people playing. It makes things look happening and then it...

Awesome, i'm glad you find it easy. Not all folks have the time and some of us want WotC to do it. I get why they dont, but id like them to.

We have been over this before. Its not nearly as modular as discussed and not even close to the satisfaction of folks that would like it to be. They discovered it wasnt needed because 5E sold like hot cakes. There has been no driving need. Will that change in the future? I think this will be...

I can see that. I think there has been some reduction in the suburban mall nobody goes to anymore variety in the mid-west. Though, one of out largest stores (former FFG HQ event center) tried to go full fee to play for any game. Turned the place into a ghost town and nearly ran them out of...

I agree and think if the modularity they talked about in NEXT was actually developed further, a lot of complaints could be answered in 5E.

Me too, I try not to be like those folks (I dont associate you with them either) but understand these topics get hot and the common quotes of dismissal get annoying for everybody. Even when folks dont mean to be flippant, but are just stating their experiences.

Paying to play at FLGS isnt something thats common here. I hear about it, but only tournament formats do it. RPGs are basically free first come first serve game space. Though, I could see a fee going towards the store and materials and helping keep attendance up. I think the reason its uncommon...

Never heard that one before.

Thats fair. Folks who enjoy 5E constantly being told its bad and that being popular is no substitute for "objectively" better design but they are just too stupid to understand that is also not particularly friendly. Just sayin.

So almost nobody is like the O'Briens? That is what seems unlikely.

While true, I do like that they addressed Molly a bit in the O'Brien family dynamics.

Yeap, ive run into more "wake me up when combat starts" types than combat disengagers!

I keep forgetting to activate my 90 day Apple trial!

Some fair points. On the other hand, with Kira and Dax running around bucking trends, it was nice to see a traditional female type character for contrast. I think the big idea was this kind of relationship between Keiko and Miles must be enacted out all over the federation. You often dont see it...

One of the arguments I often see is that simulation must be a complete reality simulator or its no simulation at all. Another is that folks want a game, and not a simulation, as if the two are mutually exclusive. Though, a lot of simulation can live in the abstract. For example, the 5E 6-8...

Some of it is the freedom that comes with role playing. Folks are like, "I can haz rat bastards as PC?" You see it in video games a lot where open worlds begun and folks do awful things to NPCs. Part of it is simple guilty pleasure in engaging in things typically out of bounds by game design...

You are on to something here. I run a lot of Traveller and I tend to have narrative driven combats a lot more than I do with D&D/PF. Part of that is the Traveller system is different. At first, I thought I was more comfortable experimenting as a GM with how to run the game. Then, I realized a...

Pretty much this. The trailer leaves me wanting to see and find out, not like I got everything I need in 90 seconds. A good one to pick on is the recent Chris Pratt sits in a chair movie. The trailer basically gives away the entire plot and the impression it leaves is that this is a feature...

Oh its 2031 now? A better guess than the 2026 folks were chirping about last year.

Imma just refer to it as I.C.J from now on lol.
