Thank you, that's pretty clear and indisputably positive, not negative! And yeah agree with him re: cancellation after best season!

SOUNDS LIKE EXALTED 2E ALRIGHT. PLEASE DONT PRINT IN THE PAPER THAT IM STILL MAD ABOUT EXALTED 2E. EDIT - On a happier note I still remember rolling like 18d10 for Aggravated Damage to a werewolf in VtM and watching as 10 after 10 after 10 appeared. I think I got 6 or 7 10s and most of the rest...

I just finally watched Alien: Romulus. What a mixed bag! I didn't think an Alien movie could make me re-appraise Resurrection and go "Huh, maybe I was too hard on Resurrection..." but Romulus sure did. The Good Cailee Spaeny - She may be tiny unlike our dear Sigourney, but like Sigourney...

Documentaries shouldn't be fiction (opinion, perspective, sure, but fiction? Ideally not!), I think you'd concur. The problem was that Netflix was paying someone to make ones that were!

I see.

I did but I'm only talking about as they impact my viewing (i.e. by cancelling shows prematurely etc.), unless they're really bad. Apple TV+, for example, doesn't really seem to "just cancel" shows. The nepotism one was really bad, because I nearly became an archaeologist, I have most of an...

More than 3-4 is what, 5? You're not really clarifying your position in a way that informs us here. With four players and a GM, let's be real, if you're playing WoD games, owning about 50 d10s is a pretty good idea. If you're playing Shadowrun, and you don't have at least 50 d6s, you're...

You didn't define that, so the natural interpretation is 1 of each of the primary polyhedrals. And that's nowhere near enough for comfortable play of most games.

I mean, it is though. It absolutely is. Because not only are those dice useless, but you have to keep track of those dice specifically, and after a certain amount of time, you probably can't replace them. Hell, like I said, I tried to buy funky dice for a game less than two years old, and could...

What exactly, do you mean? Dark Sun (1991) is far more relevant now than it ever was in 1991. Literally every single major theme and idea in it, is more relevant now than it was in 1991! So the idea that it is "weighed down by 1990s baggage" is utterly untenable, I would suggest, unless you're...

It would be but on a "Corporate-ness/Rank Cowardice" level from 1-10, where "No effs given" is 1, and 10 is "We will never knowingly offend, disturb or cause any kind of thought to occur via content/art", I would say WotC overall is at a 7 (up a ton from say, 20 years ago) and D&D specifically...

I mean, but do results like that have any extra value? Maybe it's just the example but it sounds it's producing a somewhat nonsensical result. Like, not completely, but also not possessed of special value compared to say a d6 dice-pool system which counted 1s as indicating something bad. That's...

If WotC puts out a Dark Sun that is mostly about: A) Fighting ultra-oppressive billionaire/dictator-type badguys (which is exactly what Dark Sun is about) and B) Anthropogenic climate change (or dracoanthropogenic lol) In the current US political climate (which we obviously cannot discuss...

Everyone who owns more cutlery and plates than they use at dinner on a regular basis has useless cutlery and plates. Everyone who has more pairs of shoes than they absolutely hard-need for the activities they do on a regular basis has useless shoes (so probably 2-4 pairs max). Everyone who wears...

Netflix produce almost nothing I like these days. And that which they do produce tends to be 1-2 series then cancelled. Almost all their movies are D/E/F-tier (occasionally reaching C with an non-comedy action movie). That Ryan Reynolds/Rock/Gadot thing was physically painful to watch. The only...

Don't you? That sounds awfully like Daggerheart or PtbA or Spire. What's the distinction you're making? I mean Daggerheart has you roll two dice, no special dice, and the potential results are: 2 of the same numberCritical success Beat DC and Hope die is higherYes and... Beat DC and...

Given Shadowdark's apparent continuing popularity it seems like as per Pathfinder 1E benefiting from 4E, people liked what they got enough to stay with it too, which is interesting. Sometimes, esp. with videogames, people will resentment-buy a game, but then just go back to the one they resented...

So what is the figure for their licencing? Because it's below, like $20m, they're pretty much got to be counting the BG3 sales revenue cut elsewhere (maybe in "digital" or something?), because BG3 is selling very well still (and at full price or close to it), and there are quite a few other F2P...

Wow I'm actually really surprised by how low that is for like, GenCon where you're looking at very serious RPG enthusiasts. I honestly would have expected close to 100% of games to be using 2024 rules. Maybe my expectation is what's faulty here but wow.

I'm sure that's true but given 20m+ of them are likely "people who played BG3" (given it hit 15m last year), and probably tens of millions of people saw DADHAT either at the cinema or in streaming (given it looked like it did pretty well when it was on Netflix), so that could be easily just the...
