I agree. I really like 2024, but you can dang well bet I ignore a few really annoying things in it, like the ones you mentioned. Luckily, that only took me about 30 seconds to figure out, and I'm not gonna let a one-time investment of 30 seconds ruin an otherwise good version. Some VTTs are...

Have you ever heard of an old computer game called M.U.L.E. from the early '80s? If you're interested in video games that simulated a working economy, it may have been the most influential one of all time.

There are only 43 votes for 2024 representing a product that sells millions.... Somehow that does not feel like a poll on which we should base anything.

We could spice things up! I've got two letters that rhyme with "say hi" that should reset everything.

Very sorry for your loss. Of all the things people bred into dogs over the years, I wish they'd bred them to live longer.

Amazon probably sells more copies of the 2024 books every hour than there are total votes on this poll.

Not bad considering it's barely a year old and essentially the same as 2014.

This is Marnie, our 2-year-old Aussie. She's the fastest, most agile, smartest, and most sensitive dog I've ever had. She's also completely bonkers in a good way. Marnie was a rescue and had a tough start in life, but she's found her forever home with us. She barks at animals on TV, barks at...

Which is crazy to me because math doesn't have to mean hard. Adding 20+2 is elementary, but remembering when to use 4d6s instead of 6d6s and counting the number of 4-6s rolled is simply bizarre, IMO, but I digress.... Any mechanic becomes an issue when the number of inputs required to...

Since the question asked was "What do you think of as modern TRRPG mechanics?" I would say for myself... Roll higher than a target number, as opposed to roll under Include a mechanism for advantage & disadvantage Unified level advancement (same experience required for all classes) Lots of...

That knife cuts both ways, Dr.

If you agree the DM can do anything they want regardless of another rule, then are you mostly disagreeing on principle?

OK.

I've started using ChatGPT's pretty new voice mode, and the quality of the voice is incredible, but one thing it doesn't do yet that is hella annoying is adjust its tone based on the seriousness of the topic being discussed. She/he (you can choose from among ~10 different voices) sounds just...

This is pretty sweet. I've never used something this formal or official for absences before, but I can see doing this for a campaign with more than a few players where absences are pretty common.

Hopefully it's less of a crash and more of a steady realization that only a handful of the big AI players are going to come through it, so the get-rich-quick little AI pipedreamers currently sucking up so much of the VC money disappear, and the VCs refocus their attention on the next, next big...

Big fan of reskinning creatures.

Did you ask them, "Why would an illiterate 25-year-old resident of a fictitious Medieval village know the detailed biology and ethology of a rare monster that you, nor anyone you know, have never seen before?"

I'll take it. Wouldn't that be nice? Now we just need corporate leaders to funnel the cost savings from this increased productivity into people who have titles that don't begin with "C." I wouldn't hold my breath on that...and I'm a frog.
