I'm not really familiar with 5E I can't speak to that, I stopped playing D&D with the release of 4E and moved to Pathfinder and only play the first edition of it. In 3.x/Pathfinder skills can be a big deal and if I dumped a bunch off skill points into Bluff, Diplomacy and/or Intimidate then...

If all things were equal that would be fine but all things rarely are equal. I have run games with players who are smarter and more persuasive than me (and my hence, my NPCs) and have had players who care more about combat and don't care about or are not good at the conversation roleplaying...

Vampire: The Masquerade (second edition I think) was a revelation to me. My group pretty much abandoned all other RPG's in favor off it for a few years when I ran games. It was the first time I really felt deeply drawn into the setting of a game when reading the rulebook.

I had no problems learning to draw on a grid when I first started playing but as an adult I couldn't do it very well if I needed to. I have essential tremors so my writing is often a mess, I can't paint miniatures very well anymore and mapping a dungeon, even on a grid, would be a pain in the...

It's the 50th anniversary? Even though I don't play D&D any more in favor of other games I would have expected to notice something.....

No, even if EGG's estate was ok with it he didn't give his ok so I would avoid it for that reason alone.

Well, thanks for telling me what I meant. Maybe someday I'll return the favor.

Wasn't the same true of Lost and just about any TV show up until the streaming era (with a few exceptions like Babylon 5)?

Oh please, no. X-Files was awesome and should be left alone. The world is currently awash in conspiracy theories so unless Disney is going to make it a serialized documentary I don't see the point.

I think you keep reading things into this that people aren't saying. As I sit here reading this thread no one has accused anyone of outright lying including me. As someone who has been laid off and rehired I intentionally don't bad mouth former employers if there is a chance I may be rehired...

Maybe they were and maybe they weren't, we have no way of knowing. However, if I were laid off I might be less inclined to publicly speak negatively about my former employer for fear of not being hired by them again, especially if I were a freelancer.

This isn't completely accurate. It is the responsibility of a publicly traded company to increase shareholder value, which can be defined in a lot of different ways such as growing the company over time, making a company environmentally friendly, concern over the welfare of employees and...

I think it depends on his age. Does he qualify for Social Security?:)

I have no loyalty to D&D and, with the exception of one night at a 5E table, haven't played it since 3.5 ended. I had been playing since the Basic and Expert set boxed editions and 1E and spent a ton ton of money 2e & 3.x. When I learned that a new edition was coming out I just didn't see the...

I read the first book in junior high school and the rest slowly over the years. When I read the first I wasn't aware of the rest.

I ate late this year because it was just me. Usually, friends and I get together to eat, drink and play games but because of various family issues people had my usual plans fell apart. Normally we eat between 5:00 - 6:00pm. When I was a kid, before my parents divorced it was usually around 1:00...

About 12 years ago I moved from a city I lived in since 1983, my sophomore year of high school. I had a regular Sunday gaming group (playing for decades with some changes in group members) and I didn't want to stop playing with them, so I bought Fantasy Grounds and we have been playing ever...

Any sci-fi movie that isn't part of an already existing IP is something I am willing to give a shot.

I have no survival skills so preferably more Irish whiskey than my body can handle. Also my telescope, the night sky would be amazing compared to what I can see now.

I would generally agree with you, except for Thor: Love and Thunder. It had some good bits in it, but I think it's the worst Marvel movie made so far. Eternals might have been better if it were a TV show where it had a more time to flesh out all of its ideas but it didn't, so it wasn't very good.
