I bought Alice is Missing today. The latest episode of Ludo Narrative Dissidents podcast is about it and it sounded intriguing.

Wedding crashers slay every guest

I think it's kind of a bizarre position as well since they're really effective at giving different classes different feels. They're not particularly elegant and, for a designer, that may chafe. But functional trumps elegant, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, that was another thread shot straight to hell.

Marvel 1602 was really good. If you can find it in a used bookstore or some other way that doesn't give Neil Gaiman any money, I'd recommend it.

If the people giving it a bad rep online weren't participating in the community, that would be true. But fact is, they are. And though they may be avoidable through my effort, I'm not really nostalgic enough for the OSR values of play to go to that effort.

I don't think there are broad swathes of media I refuse to partake in - like it's something that's anathema to me. I played Magic back in fairly early days and had some fun for a while, but then stopped and haven't significantly gone back - so it's not like I refuse to play collectible card...

Catherine O'Hara has died at 71. https://people.com/catherine-ohara-schitts-creek-star-dies-71-8659396

In the end, they may be a wash as far as complexity. But in my experience with both, PF1 has a longer onramp of lower to increasing complexity than PF2 that I found a lot easier to manage.

Is there a good reason the GM curation vs Player PC choices conversation has polluted this thread now?

Well, that pot is most assuredly cracked. And I'm not at all surprised.

US public schooling is constantly caught in a nasty social dilemma because it's publicly funded out of everyone's tax dollars, has a mandate to serve all kids of virtually all abilities, but is also subject to every individual's private agendas and interests - particularly, keeping their own...

Solo was, like, 3 movies squashed into one in order to hit all the important story beats in Han Solo's life because who knew if they were gonna get a sequel.

Between this and customizing monsters, I kind of expect one of the follow-up publications to include some of these options and gameplay dials for game customization. And how many people made use of the Fix menu option in their SSI D&D computer games? It automated casting all the healing spells...

The only comic book I still buy regularly is Usage Yojimbo. Stan Sakai's narratives are always top notch. I do, however, still buy the occasional trade paperback compiling stories from days gone bye, but even then I don't buy very many of them. I did drop a big chunk of change on Marvel...

I see it's one of these kids of days. Must end in a Y.

I used to run Villains and Vigilantes at Gen Con an increasingly large number of years ago. I think there'd still be a lot of nostalgia out there for it, but if it isn't a game you've got a lot of familiarity with, I'd skip it. Mutants and Masterminds is my go-to supers game now in general and...

I started with the Holmes set and we muddled through well enough, though one player had experienced the game before. And having seen the original books, I do think Holmes truly was a major step in making the game understandable. Maybe not as far as the Moldvay then Mentzer editions, but still a...

The book sets that put The Magician's Nephew first generally put The Horse and His Boy as the third book in the series since it's after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe but before Prince Caspian. And I don't like it put in that slot any more than I like The Magician's Nephew first.
