So I am curious. This is labeled as a Chaosium product on a WotC platform. Curious to know how much Chaoium worked on this or is it just brand synergy?

I picked up Sany Peterson's Cthulhu Mythos a couple years ago which seems much more exhaustive than this. So even though I'm an avid CoC player, probably not picking this one up anytime soon.

Real Talk, I don't see the cover when it' on my shelf, just the spine.

The chips I got when visiting my Grandmother, made in beef tallow, which always ran the risk of burning down her kitchen, were objectively the best. Skinned potato, soaked in water then thick cut, dried, and into the fryer. Not from frozen. Closest match is the steak fries. But yeah, best chips.

Same. Not sure I will get these, as I am not looking to run a FR campaign in the immediate future, but FOMO is real and I get the alt covers whenever possible.

I somehow doubt he gets a cut.

Only if the client's didn't desire that.

I think the better measure is being a successful professional GM, as in, you successfully get clients who pay you with some regularity. That that is about more than learning to be a GM.

So some more on this. My misgivings are mostly as an educator. Obviously this isnt actually a Uni course with proper rigor or depth. It's only 4 days long. It's a seminar. Now, I'm not claiming you can't learn thing at a seminar. I just don't think it is much more than another DnD vacation...

I mean, I would be sorely tempted.

deeply mixed feelings on this.

It's a good example of how any game analysis is goin to be through the lens of one's own preferences. There can't ever be an objectively best adventure. For me, Lot Mines is likely the best starter experience I have seen for DnD period. But that is because it has features and elements I think a...

I will admit that because of my long held love of Keep on the Borderlands I was thinking of getting this update, but for this price point, I would have to wait for a deep discount to fell it was worth it.

So I am curious as to how often a table of completely inexperienced people get into TTRPG. It's a larger topic than for here. But what I mean is, how common is it for a given table of say 5 complete gaming virgins to decide to buy an intro product or perhaps receive one as a gift and start...

I am not disputing that what is in the box is worth $50. What I am arguing is that it should be a loss leader. Or to point out another simple fact, why would I recommend this product when the PHB is the same price?

Time will tell, but yeah, intro products that have reduced appeal to already enfranchised consumers should be underpriced. It's basic drug dealer 101 people.

Well the Half Elf returning is the surprise for me there.

Do we have any confirmation on which Species are included, besides Warforged?

I'm looking for an example of a ttrpg that is properly bleak in the text as written. I will try to explain what I mean below. I don't mean a game that can be played bleak or hopeless. I mean one which is rules as written designed for the players to expect to fail, ideally without even the...
