As someone who used Roll20 for a lot previously, I'm kinda glad that they didn't like my credit card and made me go get Foundry. The learning curve from R20 isn't that steep, and I don't have to modify the character sheets for usability standpoint as much. R20 has more systems still though.

Not really a beef and I didn't mean to come across harsh, but they did call RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha "cutting edge of roleplay design" in 2019 while dismissing games with mechanics that came out after the 90s. And while I do like their games, they're not that modernised. And I'm...

One Ring and Mörk Borg are both games where they're the publisher/distributor, not the creators. So they're not "their" games. As for their fantasy games Symbaroum, Forbidden Lands, and Dragonbane will all have different rules and therefore speak to different people — five different rules if we...

Krister is writing for it though, even if he's not the lead designer. It's hard to make anything in BRP in Sweden without having him either involved or as an inspiration. (He's made it feel very contemporary despite it's early roots in a way Chaosium can only dream about..)

If you have a Foundry license, there is a subscription-based webhosted version called Forge. I've not tried it myself, but it should be able to what Roll20 does.

Yes, you can reroll. It was a while since I played it, but due to the handing the GM a darkness point every time you pray to reroll, this might be the one YZE game that allows you to reroll the reroll — but no-one has ever done that. Might be wrong though. But the thing with weapons and gear...

No, you need three sixes, not four. One to hit and then two to pay for the crit effect. The second one with five successes, yes, you can crit twice.

An full on FinD resolution is probably easier to do with the two dice and step up sizes rolling mechanic of the newer Year Zero variant than the old d6 pool one.

In this case, I feel it's very easy to just run it with the core book and ignore the campaign. Sure it ash twists and turns but a lot of those are not what makes the game good — quite the opposite even, the meta plot of the campaign removes some of the cool stuff in the setting IMO. As for...

Metal Weave Games have the accidentally best timed merchandise release with the preorder of their owlbear plushtoys. Including a snowy one.

Hellsongs are also a band that does covers on metal songs. More folk than bluegrass. Iron Maiden. Megadeth.

More covers! CALLmeKAT did a AC/DC cover!

Cowboy Junkies also did a great cover of Springsteen's Thunder Road. As well as a Townes song (that I think they did a lot better and I really like Townes).

No, that depends on how you see people through an anonymous lens. They're just removing the mask as social media makes that easy and shows you how they treat people they do not know. "Internet isn't real" is what naughty words say to justify behaving like naughty words as people online is not that...

Bots gathered around famous people doesn't really affect how people use it as such. So yes, it's still a real place as much as the next Internet site. It might affect the ego of Musk that he's lumped in politicians with made up followers, but for people who post about science fiction books...

I will add this: for a prequel it's very dedicated into making it into a show of today rather than one that will slot in seamlessly with TOS. Which IMO is the right choice.

Speaking of cover albums then. John Hammond Jr. did a cover album called Wicked Grin. Excellent bluesy covers of Tom Waits — produced by Tom Waits. Thea Gilmore did a cover album called Loft Music that's also great. And the William Elliott Whitmore song I posted above comes from Kilonova...

As a creative person, you need to learn not to take any stock in social media engagements. Because if you start to do that, then it will worm its way into your self-worth you'll get caught in a anxiety/depression spiral. This is not true just of Twitter, but tumblr, instagarm, facebook, whathave...

Original: The cover:

The best thing about the Cage was Number One's visible eyeroll when Pike had his "I don't want girls on my bridge" tantrum.
