The old man was great! I love how they plan to blame the fallout in the ambitious scientist.

As I try to decipher what you are saying, can you help me understand what you think "badwrongfun" means?

PF2 works in this manner, or at least much closer to it. I actually prefer the adventure day attrition model myself, but have come to the conclusion you need to pick a lane between adventure day and encounter model. Splitting the difference as 5E has, just seems to give everybody headaches.

Star packed.

Well, thats the longest "I didnt get the joke and am responding earnestly" post I've seen lately.

Be direct instead. If you really want to change the topic dont use whataboutism.

I had a great group from '09 until '20 before the pandemic hit. It basically ended my decade long group. I also went through a divorce during this time and it turned everything upside down for me. I didnt game at all for a good year or two. No TTRPG, no board games, not even video games. I did...

Its an admitted broad generalization so not prone to being true across all time and games. This blurb itself is just one example from many RPGs of the time. Though, its interesting to note that the discussion was happening even back then so the two (of many) schools of thought have been argued...

Commander Shepard fighting Reaper indoctrination theory.

I can’t imagine being lazy enough to be able to tune one of those detectors out…

I’m a planner and part of the plan is to be flexible with my adventures. The key is to be broad in approach but specific with the characters involved. The tighter the plan the less player agency is involved and that I want to avoid.

I definitely have some run of the mill fatigue myself. Though I’m a hopeless optimist that a change is right around the corner. I was getting bored of supers flicks but Gunn nailed Guardians an unlikely hit. So I had hoped Superman would have been something new but it was run if the mill. Like...

For a time it was Dungeons and Dragons Online the MMO. Though after a couple years I burned out. I could see getting back in with the right group and motivation, but I dont see that coming into being anytime soon.

I thought it was based on FDR American werewolf killing badass?
