We're almost through the first three seasons of our re-watch (we never made it past season 4 our first try through, mostly because my wife was spoiled on what happens to Jadzia and got so upset she crashed out; she's committed to getting over it this time around). Some scattered thoughts: We...

Join the thread, Snarf. You know you want to.

The problem of stats and especially stat penalties is a game design one. Saying that Halflings get +2 Dex means you are encouraging players to make specific choices (ie, Halflings makes great Rogues!); while saying that Halflings get -2 Str means you are actively discouraging players from making...

It's frankly a crime that Dugnutt still isn't in the Hall of Fame

My favorite is when you get a million likes from one person in a single thread, and you look and the thread is like three years old. Usually it's due to a necro but sometimes it's just very strange

Fun fact: they are already the same people. They're also the ones who did the bullying in the first place.

Oh yeah, one other thing I was going to mention is that the most unrealistic thing about the show: humanity finds out that they will be endangered in 400 years, and humanity collectively drops everything to focus on the problem? Would absolutely never happen. I do enjoy how they never even...

I had zero interest in Daggerheart before I read this, but now I am that Leo DiCaprio meme from Django Unchained.

Actually the best War of the Worlds iteration is 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim but not enough of y'all are playing peak video games so I don't know what to tell you. Tom Cruise running really fast a lot carrying a screaming Dakota Fanning wasn't too terrible though

I liken it to Umbrella Academy, where all of the characters are deeply broken morons but also I love them and they're my deeply broken morons.

Wow this is an absolutely epic combination of poster name/contributions to this thread

Diving into Tactics Ogre Reborn once again; hopefully this is the time I finally do a full playthrough on all three paths and complete all of the Coda. New update for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 dropped I think yesterday, so it's a nice time to pick up what is almost certainly going to be the...

I will have to checked out the revised rulebook then. I can't speak to all of the supplements and third-party stuff, but that level of guidance and empowerment to created your own focus is I think all that's really needed.

My biggest issue with Cypher, at least from what I've been able to find, is how little guidance there is on developing character creation elements. Focii in particular are the most specific and character-defining aspect of creation, but they're the hardest to just make up so out of the box...

Just binged this show while my wife was out of town and... I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly how I feel about it. I mean, it definitely has some of those wild swings in quality that we've come to expect to from the makes of Game of Thrones. The pacing is all over the place and the...

I think maybe I was unclear; what I meant was that the whole "you play D&D? <scoff> You should play a good game instead" attitude is the security blanket. Like... everybody knows how counterproductive and condescending it is but some people just cannot let it go.
