I've managed to hold back and not buy TOR 2E multiple times (being reasonable). But it's really hard. I'm not too interested to play in a so established settings as Middle-Earth, but holy hell are Free League in a class of their own when it comes to books, layout and art quality. And I'm also...

I have some issues with stretch goals sometimes, but it's really context dependent. I really like when projects increase the quality of the product when reaching certain stretch goals: adding foil to the cover, adding a ribbon, improving the quality of the paper, including a small print of some...

I'm a big fan of Chris' work. I've also been following the development of this game for a few months. I wonder if anyone else had a healthy amount of play with either Into the Odds and Electric Bastionlands are are excited for it. Into the Odds had such a big impact on the indie scene of...

I'm a big fan of 4E. But I won't pile on, most of the things that I like about it were already mentioned. However, I always homebrewed and didn't touch the official settings. Why is Nentir Vale getting so much love? Isn't it really small?

I agree. The amount of money crowdfunded is not the measure that interest me the most. Backers are. There's so many Kickstarters that have their numbers bloated by stuff like minis and other accessories that are not necessarily tied to the system/game/setting. You could argue that the backer...

One thing that Paizo absolutely excels at is cramming their books to the brim with options, objects, ideas and monsters. I own all the Starfinder books and there's enough material in there for several lifetimes.

As opposed to newer editions? I've been circling around Traveller for a while, but I got some contradicting advices left and right about what edition to get. The newest Mongoose edition was on my radar.

I'm not done with my current readings, but I bought a copy of Rogues of Merth by Robert Zoltan. A more modern take on Sword & Sorcery is exactly what I'm feeling for!

What's even pay to win in a VTT?

I dove in This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It's not my typical reading, but I'm enjoying it and it's pretty short. Last week I bought the Book of the new Sun by Gene Wolfe. Excited to start it.

In my experience, I have two recommendations: 2400 (Link) is a super lightweight rule set. You basically get a ton of three pages pamphlets that all focus on a specific flavor of Sci-Fi. It's incredibly simple, lightweight and easy to run. I wouldn't run an incredibly long campaign as it might...

Betrayal? Time passes and things change. They supported PF1E for one full decade. The company and the creators inside it will want to move to something else at some point; it's good for them, the company and the hobby. I'd roll my eyes if they had moved on a year or two after releasing a game...

Advantage and Disadvantage would be undesirable in PF2E. It's a very convenient and simple mechanic (I really like it), but it removes granularity when it comes to narrative advantages and disadvantages. You either have advantage, disadvantage, or you don't. You might have an enchantment, your...

I'm very happy that you've enjoyed every single movie you've ever seen in your life. It'd be a shame if one of them just didn't click with you and that made you part of the fun-hating gang.

My expectations were very low at first, I had no intentions of seeing it. But I saw several reports that the movie was actually quite a bit of fun. Finally got you see it tonight. I honestly don't understand the praise. The special effects were nice, the production value was good, but that's...

Being from eastern Canada my mother tongue is french. But I work mostly in english and consume my media in english. The two languages are severely tangled in my brain. It's probably a mix between the usual and a free translation of a french Canadian expression.

Everyone works differently. But I constantly take notes or snag images, quotes and ideas from most media that I consume. When I'm hit with a blank page, I go through it and take one thing that inspires me when I set my eyes on it again. Then I put on some appropriate music and try to merge two...

I'm from Canada, but I'm used to whatever strange mix we use here. The experience is not the same for every Canadian (big country), but in my thick of the woods... I measure 6 foot and 1 inch. Anything construction related is in foot and inches. I buy a two litres of soft liquor at the store...

Tales of the Valiant does not end between the dates covered by this news.

I'm mostly done with WotC with everything that has happened in the last few months. But even though 5E books have never impressed me with their quality, a price increase is absolutely reasonable. I actually think that the whole industry could do better by selling their products at a higher level...
