If I'm paying for a product there should be no AI derived content in it. I can just prompt AI tools myself, not going to pay you for it.

Ascending. I only use descending when I'm literally playing AD&D. Any of its clones that use ascending AC or allow for the option, I do. It's AD&D with added spreadsheets.

Those are just the Impact Miniatures dice in a different tube sleeve. They are the most common iteration. There are also the Zocchi versions, which I prefer. And were the only game in town when I started. If you don't like the shapes of the Goodman/Impact ones try the Zocchi ones as they are...

Yeah, that's true. I'm not saying it's too much crunch for me ( I like a good FATAL circumference table) but just marked it as odd considering his rather vociferous contention when I talked to him about too much prescribed specificity in RPGs. That said my biggest complaint about Shadow of...

I find it kind of strange that what started of as "Shadow of the Demon Lord but with the all the icky setting stuff taken out for people who hate fun" turned into "Shadow of the Demon Lord but with all the icky setting stuff taken out for people who hate fun, but also lots more crunch". I...

All I'm saying is, I would absolutely download a car if I could.

" That's, like, your opinion, man." - John Maynard Keynes, probably idk

You'll note that my post never actually commented one way or the other as to the merits, or supremacy of any system (not becuase I don't wanna have a good internet argument, but because I don't want to tread too hard on the no politics rule). I simply pointed out the unambigious and objective...

That's 100% true. But also extremely reductive. What's also true is that capitalism is explicitly designed to exploit the many for the benefit of the few. You can have your quote be true without also designing an economic system to explicitly do that very thing as a feature, right?

The blockchain is a solution to a problem that does not exist. "What if we utilize the blockchain to do financial transactions, only far slower and consuming vastly more amounts of energy in the process" is an example. Eventually they'll figure out that when nobody is working, nobody can buy...

Right. I think it's dependent on what kind of theme/mood you're going for. If this is sort of a Dying Earth/Conan thing where sorcerers are all evil and there's hooded cultists with curved daggers around every corner and you're chilling at the courts of chaos at 1st level, then the magic...

Yeah, agreed. The community did what they were supposed to do, they voted and raised the point of improper votes and the committee ignored them. That's on the organization to fix.

That's the thing, though. In the report they insinuate right at the beginning that alot of the votes for China had just email addresses and no physical addresses attached to them as well, which is the norm. I don't think they have proof that there was some vote pumping here, but I think that's...

Yeah, I was just making a dumb South Park reference.

I mean, I guess? I don't quite understand what your broader point is. Every game makes mechanical choices about how aspects of the game function that will cause groups to choose another game or not based on their preferences. What causes one group to bounce off of something is a killer feature...

Science fiction books are often and most famously, at least in some way, about the dangers of authority in the wrong hands and run amok in some fashion. Therefore it follows that the first step to holding a convention about these works is to hold them in an authoritian country that censors...

I think this is a good point. I'm a strong DCC cheerleader, but yeah, even I don't like it for long campaigns. It really shines in short to medium term play.

IIRC there's a table in the book showing you how to simulate the dice with normal polyhedrals.

I mean, the king of reading terribly but being fun to play has to be OD&D, right? Or is that too obvious?
