It's never been an option for me to go. But I might be financially able to go next year. My only worry is I don't know anyone, it might not be as fun?

My opinion is that most of the Star Wars stuff that came out was adequate as movies or shows, but pretty terrible as Star Wars media. Disney released some mind-numbing bad content. There's often some cool moments sprinkled in there, but it's pretty bad. It's the Hollywood tasteless and bland...

I'm surprised that I'm surprised, but many of you named some of the movies I've seen the most. Lord of the Rings 13th Warrior Blade Runner Conan the Barbarian Interstellar Master & Commander Enemy at the Gates

I backed the Kickstarter. I received the book; it is gorgeous. The quality really is there. It's a beautiful product. I do not regret pledging at all and I can't wait to play it. However, I'm still a bit salty that while the kickstarter backers were waiting to receive their product, it was...

If you were having fun in my game and then I start spraying you with water and you become crappy about it, that's on you. You are ruining the fun you were having by holding on to your idealized and dry version of D&D. Obviously, I'm being dishonest with an hyperbole. But I don't think saying to...

Congratulations. It's a big achievement to go through such a big project! 🎉

Of course I let them. If it's a very focused story that's being ran, let's say the hook of the campaign is to find who stole the jewels of the King, I'll let them know that leaving the region would equal dropping the current "quest" or "plotline". Most of the time, they'll decide not to. But...

This is an argument that always leaves me pondering. Whenever I tried to have a traced road with plenty of prepared elements (for whatever reasons) it always ended up being much more work than just have some tools, lists, prompts, tables and a bit of improvisation. You don't have to prepare for...

I didn't mean it that way. It was just a bit uncanny to have someone talk to me about it at 2 o'clock (first time hearing about it) and then sitting down at home at 6 o'clock and seeing it here.

A colleague of mine pitched me The Big Wet today during lunch. I'll probably play it within two weeks. I was surprised to see here!

I don't mind hit points that much. But when the numbers get higher, it does tend to become a bit tedious. However, Starfinder does something very simple. You have your hit points and your stamina points. Any damage is first deducted from Stamina Points, and if depleted, then goes to Hit Points...

I've tried to get into the comics (being of fan of the original material) but there's so many series, authors that I didn't know where to start, what was good, etc.

My understanding of what he describes is as follow. Obviously, this is tainted by my style and limited experiences. Players will sometimes have long-term goals. But most of the play action in a session is directed towards shorter-term goals. We often seek to achieve short-term goals in the most...

After a few years of break from 3rd edition, I dived hard into 4E and absolutely loved it, warts and all. I invested in a ton of books, had two campaigns running. I was in. Then they announced essentials. I was a bit stunned by the sudden stop to the product line. I bought the Essentials books...

From the answers I'm getting elsewhere, there was not a ton of changes in between editions. I'm really curious, the setting looks fun. But the books are really pricy...

Being a big fan of Conan and Sword and Sorcery, I've been looking into possible products to eventually explore these genres. I've also been interested in exploring the OSR movement, which has been difficult because of the sheer number of options. That's when I stumbled on Hyperborea by North...

I found the Symbaroum books to be great read. It's a great setting and the art is gorgeous.

So as a creative, if I want to leave something from what I build to my children, I am very much encouraged to sell the rights to it in my waning years and turn it into something physical. Actually, I'm encouraged to not pursue creative careers. Not only are they often not as paying as others...

I don't necessarily disagree. So if my father had bought a house, or had kept working for the last twenty years, that's his work not mine and I shouldn't inherit? Why is creative work not working the same?

I have very limited knowledge as to how copyright laws work. But I've read this thread and it was a very interesting read. Personally, I don't really agree that copyright laws stifle creativity. Anyone can look at the absurd amount of consumable media released every year (games, movies, series)...
