    Spoilers Rebel Moon-my spoiler review

    There's not really enough to hang on to any other emotion than disappointment. I wish it had been worse, at least that would elicit some feelings about it. Crap as he might be, Uwe Boll at least has some creative intent, I can find none of that here. (Image not fair to Street Fighter.)

    What do you want in a shapeshifting class?

    For unlimited shapes, the extra hitpoints need to go of course — or at least be offset to spendable resource. So let's use WildShape for that, and I think that could also be a thing you use to get direforms or have to spend for creatures with breath weapons and similar. Unlimited regular beast...

    What do you want in a shapeshifting class?

    As a shapechanger, I want the shapechanging to be the focus and not just a cool effect once in a while. To be able to go from one form to the next fluidly within the same fight or chasing after someone without going "sorry, I can only do this twice a day."

    Star Wars Rewatch

    They really should have avoided the accents for the Gungans, tightened up the pod race, and taking things a tad more seriously, then it would have been a lot better in hindsight. It's one of the rare Star Wars movies with an actual plot and not just "random things happen in a sequence". And...

    Show me your Shelfie!

    @Mage of Spellford Neat collection, makes me wish even more that I hadn't taken that RPG sabbatical during the 90s and early 00s.

    WotC Hasbro's CEO Reports OGL-Related D&D Beyond Cancellations Had Minimal Impact

    And they insists on going "this is what we meant to do al along! All the rest was just a test/request for feedback/never meant to be sent out!" after getting caught and trying again with another OGL that was also terrible but more sneaky about it. The CC came when too many mainstream news...

    WotC Hasbro's CEO Reports OGL-Related D&D Beyond Cancellations Had Minimal Impact

    Not only what @doctorbadwolf said above, but also since then Paizo's workers unionized and the company didn't fight it. That goes quite a bit more than simply going "sorry" and continue as usual.

    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2023 [NOMINATIONS OVER]

    For me I nominate Fight With Spirit and TOKYO : OTHERSCAPE. Edit: remembered another so moved Shield Maidens to honorary.

    Babylon 5, new series, new rpg?

    Asmodee moved the RPGs from FFG to Edge Studio. Think they rehired some of the people there and they still make rpgs, just unlucky that the pandemic hit and made it take a lot longer than they had anticipated to get things up and running.

    Tell Me About Cortex Prime

    Yeah, the five Spotlight books that remains from the kickstarter have sadly not had the highest of priorities but hopefully we'll get at least one soonish (November is the latest for the first volume but I'm not holding my breath). Content from the kickstarter: Spotlight Volume One Miriam...

    D&D General Would It Matter To You if D&D Books Were Illustrated by AI Instead of Humans?

    That do you base that on? What I've seen of the AI art companies are that they're started by people who want to be good at art but quit on day two because no noticeable skill change*. The machine learning software analyses what's popular in the image set, but it has no compositional weighting...

    Artworks in an RPG

    I'm sorry but Midjourney landscapes are just as easily identifiable as Poser 3 art were in the late 90s.

    Million Dollar TTRPG Kickstarter Club

    With Free League, one can make the argument that the kickstarters are there to make them afford the stretchgoals rather than the game — because I think the low goal are what they need to pay a small initial print run.

    Artworks in an RPG

    It doesn't feel like it's underground but more among the mountains. I don't know how the big floaty rock in the middle is suspended but for me it feels very out of place due to the sunlight around it. And there's nothing connecting all the samey buildings all around — buildings who seem to be...

    Artworks in an RPG

    Art in explaining the rules brings up Atomic Robo to me, and it does this excellently. Art as examples can make the rules stick in a different way than just text can.

    [BLADERUNNER] Updated EARLY ACCESS materials.

    They've used 1's for bad stuff in some games and not others but over all they've used the same mechanics. T2K and now Blade Runner are the two that has had significant change in how the dice work, so I'd argue that we now have two different forks of YZE. Before we just had slight variations.

    [BLADERUNNER] Updated EARLY ACCESS materials.

    I think this was first seen with Twilight 2000 which in turn was a refinement on the Forbidden Lands that introduced the die steps (but still kept the dice pool).

    Which VTT do you use?

    I did like the grab dice and toss in Fantasy Grounds diceroller. That is also the only thing I liked with it. Automization might be great if you own all things, but I like physical books and can not afford to spend almost the same amount for a finite digital product. It's also easier to...
