Phase 2 could also be chipped humans.

I liked it. Shrugs. Plots going somewhere as the Enclave was kinda assumed destroyed.

Plane of light or equivalent. Truncated planes light, dark, elemental, astral.

No idea.SMAC community is still active. I bought it on GOG.

We used the 1991 set. Enjoying being blatantly wrong again? Boxed sets disappeared around 1999, 2E product was still on shelves 2005. I've ran OBS for under 30s. I dont use the revised one. We started late 1993 red box and B2-4 and X1. First campaign was 1994 one guy had the RC. We...

People underestimate old D&Ds sales numbers. Core basic stuff outsold AD&D combined 4.5 million vs 3.5 million. Basic line sales are split over several boxed sets and decades. Old D&D ballpark sold 8 million. Basic line had boxed sets sell more than your favorite edition unless its 5E or...

Not sure how many st fighters I've got.

Im 47 played OG DS in the 90s. Ran OG as late as 2025 and 3E 2006. Basic was 94 to mid 95 using RC and whatever we had. Switched to 2E tge we did Spelljammer. 1996 added 1E with mates brother and some of my group. And we did DS pre WotC buyout.

Mostly been console since Atari 2600. Had PCs last 20+ years. Basically use PCs for gangs theyre better at and consoles same thing.

Well they jumped from 50 to 80 million very quickly. I remember a video at 15 million beyond accounts. Only 1.5-2 million were active. Fairly typical of services.

Environmentalism picked up 70s was a thing 90s. Maybe NZ focused more on it (nuclear free 1980s) Captain Planet anyone, New reboot of Darksun could focus a bit more in it but it was a big thing in OBS.

Yeah rest of World it was megadtive. Sega sid better than Nintendo most areas iirc except Japan and NA. Never saw a SNES retail here bigger cities maybe. Mate had one via Australia. We could rent them and they're few and far between second hand. NES was around but Sega "won".

Genesis in USA. Streets of Rage is side scrolling beat em up. Streets of Rage 4 is a modern take/cheap.

Well it seems theyre being a bit obscured with the numbers. We do have some hard numbers. Expressions of interest is meaningless they may have watched youtube. I"m not counting 5.5 numbers. Alot of them would be to existing customers. They haven't sold X10 the amount of phb.

And you have those numbers from? 2023 is last year and X4, X5 is upper limit what I posted. Its in the ballpark though WotC manipulated the numbers. 50-80 was lifetime players since 1974.

Not much. People were pushing innovation = good. Theres a time and place for both. Generally play it safe early. Middle is often peak quality wise late edition is innovation. What sticks influences next edition. I like 5.5 for example. Due to 5Es success innovation was off the table.

Alot of classic era D&Ds is quite bad. I'm giving it a pass on product of its time in social stuff and art. Anthology reprints they've generally picked decent adventure

Kinda right. Innovative doesnt mean better. 4E was very innovative. So was Tashas. Not much of it was good.

Best D&D product is generally made by veterans. 5E biggest selling ever designed by people with a decade+ if not 2. Early on they went nostalgia baiting. Experiments generally were poorly recieved. Eb Spelljammer, Strixhaven etc. You want new bloods doing stuff. That's usually...

DS has a lot of youtube videos with reasonably high view counts. Its D&Ds "forbidden" setting. That tends to make things more desirable. It also has a rather active and large fansite, Facebook group and they also produce product for it still.
