Adding Guardians to the mix (yeah, pun intended :P) I'd rank them 2, 3, & 1. 1 was fun, but 2 and 3 are stronger in their themes and thematic/character exploration. Rocket's arc especially really kicks into high gear in 2 (the ending, so perfect) and comes to fruition in 3.

While I get where you are coming from, as noted by others this is such a broad issue across, well certainly the English language but likely across all or nearly all languages. There are just some things that get put into a vast and broad category. An issue, perhaps, but mostly/"only" I would...

I've RPed in both tactical games (Battletech, Renegade Legion) and also while playing solo computer games such as 4X games (Master of Orion+), or semi-story games (Battletech, again). There's probably been a "traditional" board game or two that I've RPed at least in my own mind while playing...

Both the above, and also riffing off my earlier comment how, IME, the DM's of many moons ago seemed to view D&D as a core framework to adjust to their preference, WotC getting DMsGuild going was a great (and maybe under-valued?) boon as it provides as it provides a centralized location for...

"Bleu", or as I like to jokingly put it, "The meat passed through the kitchen on the way to my plate." :)

As a resident Cortex Prime lover/booster, I have to second this! And I'm cool with FitD as well. :)

Hmmm... in no particular order and likely missing some: Blade Runner (and I'll put 2049 here too) Arrival Wall-E Akira 2001 Trek II & VI Robocop Tron Star Wars Trilogy Macross: Do You Remember Love? Aliens The Matrix Gattaca Also gonna give mention to Outland. Something about it's grit hooks...

I have played RPGs for nearly 40 years now. I do not feel that WotC, specifically, has decided to ignore me. Or wants me out of gaming. Or doesn't care about me because I'm old. Take that as you will. And if we wish to discuss whether the current WotC under the current corporate ownership...

Scry. Buff. Teleport. Classic. :)

Sorta... if moving 0 MP (so not moving out of the hex) doesn't count as being immobile, as the 'mech is still able to duck and weave and move about enough within the hex to not get the immobile modifier, then being at 0MP due to damage to me still feels like the 'mech would still have enough...

I clicked them both to indicate we're using Essential stuff alongside the Pre-Essential extension. (Though if we really wanted to get our selves twisted in to a knot, we are of course using the excellent Rules Compendium, so even if we didn't have any Essentials classes in our party, would we...

Eh, I wouldn't read too much into it. In my monthly group we're a) only playing once a month and b) have multiple GMs and so about 2.5 campaigns being run in that stated once per month of playing. We just switched back to our Princes of the Apocalypse campaign which we began in 2018, so it is...

I played a bit in Dark Sun back in the 2e days, and more recently as a one-shot at a convention, so my familiarity is not super high. From what I've heard though, from a world building/game running standpoint (putting the rules aside) 4e's treatment of it is well thought of and mitigates the...

It's quite likely that if I were to look at all the hours of D&D I've played, the majority of those hours would be with 2e. When I joined a D&D group (I had been playing RPGs for a few years already, but not D&D) we were playing 1e, but soon elements from 2e were being introduced into our games...

I will have to live vicariously through you. :D Looking forward (or backwards with a PSR) to your report.

Hmm, guess what is meant by simplifications. If it's about making the game less granular, that I'm personally not that interested in. There are other games out there that already do that. (Alpha Strike included, which I don't play as if I go BattleTech I want BattleTech, if I want something...

Giving these a read, not sure I'm keen on including Mech's with just 0 MP due to damage as Immobile (just because they can't move fast enough to really leave a hex doesn't to me mean they aren't still moving about within the hex or even a bit in place). The rest though it seems like their...

"We're gonna need a bigger boat..." :D

Another old timer who had to put 20. :) Hope our answers lead to some interesting findings!

Oh yeah, that's another biggie. The surprises that come up in game, the cool stories and moments that could only happen in collaboration and in a group, and the times where I surprise even myself! (Including the moments where I so get into character that they do things I don't plan or...
