    D&D General Which Campaign or Adventure Would You Adapt To Prestige Television?

    I don’t think it’s the Dragons to thank for GoT popularity. More to do with Martin’s writing and the execution (both of which dropped off the later seasons which are mixed at best in reception) PF and Golarion are not D&D or owned by WotC. So I assumed out of bounds for this. Though I think the...

    Immersion?

    Immersion is such a moving target, though I think you cant completely ignore folks opinions. You also cant let the squeaky wheel drive all the decisions either. Im not sure where that Goldilocks zone is, but I know that if the game doesnt feel right folks abandon ship. So, the idea you can make...

    I appreciate the comments. KSAGG is like the super bowl of BT for me so I definitely put a lot of work into it. Not sure if I shared my promotional video YT channel or not? I also ran a persistent intro tech tournament a few times this year to great success. If you have 4 or more players in...

    Immersion?

    Immersion is a subjective thing. There is no example of something that will provide immersion for everyone. So, when a person uses the term I assume they are talking from their own perspective. Some find that to not be useful becasue they can not logic slam the discussion into an argument...

    Battletech Public Playtest Thread

    So, my convention game is a progressive one. The first match is a 2 hour 1v1 played on a single CGL neoprene mat. The second match is a 3 hour 2v2 played on two CGL neoprene mats. Finally, the last match is a 3.5 hour 4v4 played on a single 4' x 6' mat. I'll be sure to get a lot of photos to...

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    You can say the same for every species in every setting in every genre. 🤷‍♂️ To you, is pretty key. You seem to ignore quite a bit of whats available. Though, I think that outlines a large missing piece of the puzzle. A lot of what makes species unique is what folks bring to the table. I dont...

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    It did for me. I cant speak for the OP. My view is that Paizo was able to suit both the generic and unique setting lore. I dont know, I got a lot of value out of it. I'd need to better understand why you didnt to answer beyond that. I found the opposite to be true. Golarion is able to both...

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    I think there is a lot of relying on the tried and true recipes and not trying to step in it when constructing a unique species and it's culture. Like the D&D setting with formerly enslaved monkey minstrel people. I mean, good god who thought that up even in the 80's or 90's? I think more effort...

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    Im not entirely sure of the original quote's context? Based on the OP, it seems less interesting setting because of lots of species, and more interesting because of places and factions. The Inner Sea Guide for Golarion of Pathfinder is an excellent read for just this sort of preference.
