    Musk says he'll create an AI Game Studio

    Which is why he has to borrow from banks all the time. He can't liquidate a lot of assets either because the stocks will plummet, so it's basically group wealth hallucination for all the people involved and normal people isn't invited — because that would be unfair somehow. If I were a betting...

    Tabletop creators leave X for Bluesky in droves

    Re: Feeds True! But for a personally made feed — which also others can use because this is Bluesky — can also have "do not list this" as well, in case you really don't want so see anything with certain games. What I miss right now is a bookmarking function, preferably one with some minor...

    Tabletop creators leave X for Bluesky in droves

    You could use things like SkyFeed to create your own feed that looks for things such as ttrpg, D&D, rpg, whatever. It has some limits but it's also free — I'm also sure there are other places that allows you to make even bigger feeds. Because I've not seen much excessive tagging of words that...

    We’re On BlueSky

    Oooof! Yeah. While I will miss some of the things in my twitter history a lot, some of those things do not make sense without the other person's replies there. You're not the person you were when you signed up in 2007 and while it might seem daunting to start over, see it as a fresh start. It's...

    We’re On BlueSky

    That's probably never going to be seamless, both have different federation protocols and developments.

    Random House to Publish New "Tusk Love" Critical Role Novel

    Have someone told Herman Melville or Neil Stephenson about this?

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    I do agree about the map, it's terrible in so many way. But see, to me that means it's probably originated with Gygax.

    OSR BrOSR

    It was a while since I read this book but I'd call at least "you will find no pretentious dictums herein, no baseless limits arbitrarily placed on female strength[...], no ponderous combat systems for greater "realism"" are all lies because those things do exist in the book. Well, okay, I'll...

    OSR BrOSR

    Quite frankly? I'm not sure. Logic says they should be younger but then one looks at what they write and their opinions and how they present them, and even what kind of media they consume and champion, and they seem to have a brain from the 1950s* that just can't cope with things progressing...

    OSR BrOSR

    Nah. Looking at these people's twitter following and stuff, they do know OSR but they're very insular and angry so no-one bothers with them. They're more like the people who never left AD&D 1e because that was The Game As Gygax Intended and Basic and everything after is ruining his legacy.

    The 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide is Chris Perkins' Last Book as Product Lead

    James Wyatt is also from 3rd edition, perhaps they're getting promoted to Lore Twins. Oversight rather than design.

    Dungeons & Dragons May Not Come Back to Greyhawk After 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

    Not to mention that the Greyhawk community fraction more and more for every additional Greyhawk publication after the original folio because it does not match up to their now 45-year old homebrew, I really don't see how they can do any anything else than what they're doing here. Doing an...

    OSR BrOSR

    Not just publisher as in they publish VD but as in the publisher he founded. And Jeffro ran the blog for that website so you can't really separate him out from Vox Day.

    Best Horror Movies of All Time

    All of this yes. And I think it's best exemplified with the dances — we do have those, traditionally but that's more enacted by either social conservatives or kindergarteners — felt like an American version by someone who didn't really get it. Which propelled it far into fascicular territory...

    D&D 5E (2024) The New DM Tools In The New Dungeon Master's Guide

    I've read the 5.14 DMG, and frankly I understand why they haven't. It's not good. Terrible disposition hampered by uninspired writing and vague rules descriptions written for experienced dungeon masters that don't really need to read it. Coming after the excellent 4e Guides, it's a disgrace...

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 Is Hilariously Broken. Most OP of All Time?

    It doesn't give the bonus action attack back, it just says the bonus attack can be made with a weapon that isn't two-handed. For all intents and purposes, you still only have one bonus action, it's just that the authors suck at describing things in natural language so they didn't bother to...

    Mongoose acquires Twilight 2000 and 2300 AD

    If one were to steal and homebrew magic and abilities from their other YZE games, I think their TW2000 version would be an excellent foundation for a Stand Still, Stay Silent campaign. Which also can feel a tad too close to reality nowadays...

    Is There a Better Way to Illustrate Water on a Dungeon Map Than This?

    Shade the water works great in order to make it distinguishable. I quite like how watabou's One Page Dungeons does it but limitations happen when drawing on paper vs printing out/using digitally.
