    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    Top physical games tagged Solo RPG Here's a whole beautiful world of games you can play solo. I highly recommend Hardcase, Anamnesis, Cartograph, Ironsworn and Starforged are in there... It's really easy to find people to play with. Why would you ever be bothered to play a game nobody ever...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I love how you've turned "it's good when events continue moving forward when you fail" to "these damn MILLENIALS think you should NEVER FAIL!" i have no idea how so many people in this thread are just completely ignoring the actual topic to to -CENSORED- themselves about how Good And Pure And...

    Pathfinder to Release Lost Omens: Draconic Codex in December

    Red dragons are now cinder dragons (coming in Monster Core 2). The Horned Dragon is identical to the Green Dragon. These creatures did not suddenly cease to exist, they're just getting new designs and lore instead of copypasting DnD's ideas.

    Mass Layoffs At Polygon, Major Gaming News Outlet

    The gaming industry is absolutely cooked. 8 year dev cycles with violent, nightmarish crunch, where they lay off half the staff every year and then get bought by venture capital vultures are the norm. Journalism outlets got scammed by Facebook in to killing their already functional and stable...

    GM fiat - an illustration

    Imagine the beautiful world where the people in this thread adamantly insisting that it's impossible for an RPG to do [thing] would just go read a game where it's expected that you do that thing. I do not see any difference between solving a mystery that is pre-authored by the GM versus the...

    Binary Success vs Multiple Levels of Success

    Binary success is usually just very boring. Like wow, I have a 45% chance for Literally Nothing to happen? Awesome.

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    Just some of that Epic Awesomesauce I Love Science!!! facebook-tier "science fandom" where one decides to reject basic facts and fall in love with PR campaigns.

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    If I like it, then it's worth it even if I don't use it.

    There's already a thread on this, and the answer is still no. Try and post real things.

    Guns & Gears Remastered Review

    Paper and shipping costs have exploded since 2020. 70 bucks is about what I would expect for a 260 page hardback book with a ton of full-page color illustrations. Like, these are luxury entertainment products. You want it cheap, get a PDF. Andd if you already own Guns & Gears, there is no...

    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    I would simply not get this mad about this subject.

    Polygon: Indie TTRPG Companies are "sitting in their own little corners of the internet and wringing their hands"

    Reddit, famously a very small corner of the internet that nobody uses. This bundle is extremely good. Buy it.

    How do you define character "weakness?"

    I can only envision a game where weakness (in terms of "power") is defined by not being capable of doing the things you should probably be doing very well due to what your character is. This is generally a design flaw. I'm more interested in like, emotional weaknesses and parameters other than...

    Just saw Delicious in Dungeon

    Short answer: no. Long answer: his thoughts and feelings surrounding this whole thing are complicated and a big part of later in the manga. All surrounding the broader themes of the work, in particular "what does it mean to desire something".

    What are the primary reasons your players reject other systems/settings/games?

    I fortunately do not have this issue. We finish a game, we play another game, or maybe another campaign in that first game. There's so many games out there and most of them are pretty easy to learn! It'd be like limiting yourself to one video game.

    Did the nerds win?

    I think this is a very goofy opinion to have. People don't accidentally write a hundred pages of heavy crunch. If they had a "disdain for mechanics" or did not think the mechanics mattered, they would simply not have written them. Game designers do, in fact, design games. I'd say Starship...

    Did the nerds win?

    Probably the bit where you start talking about the Great Replacement Except Happening To Gamers and very directly use the word "inclusivity" as a negative thing.
