I wouldn't call it naive, I think its just a positive fantasy. For example I think every queer author who pushes for queer friendly content in D&D is not so naive to think that the real life is becoming more queer friendly, they know exactly how much the situation worsens. I would say my...

I think they are interesting, because they have pacts with otherwordly beings that grant them boons. Thats what make them interesting. But Shadowdark is easy to homebrew and I think granting them some little ability depending on their patron like you did makes sense, why not.

I have the feeling these 4 overture episodes are like a narrative session zero for the viewers and the players did know from the start what their teams and goals will be starting from episode 5. At least thats my guess, they know they somehow should end up there and thus can do actions in this...

Why would a warlock get additional advantages on specific "skills" like Thief or Ranger? They are a) not a "skilled" character, they literally can be any normal buffon that met the devil at a crossroad and did a pact. Why would they be skillful like a scholar or thief or ranger that trained for...

I was really afraid reading that title of what I will read, but I was positively surprised! Glad you had such a nice experience! CPM I unfortunately still spot (and smell) from time to time especially on smaller cons or events in hobby shops.

Did we though? I never heard someone thinking its not a generic label. As others pointed out its a term on a high abstraction level similar to "book" "game" "sports" etc. Its absolutely normal to have a hierarchy of definitions with more abstract, generic ones being at the top and more concrete...

I just looked it up, around 4-5k € per cycle. I thought, yeah, that is money, but doesn't seem like it would burn through cash even for rich couples. Then I saw that sometimes our statutory health insurance covers up to 50% of the costs for 3 cycles, depending on several conditions and what...

I havent thought about that at all, like that they do this now because they probably couldn't afford it before. I am really happy for them, thats great!

If you are not familar with GoT, you couldn't tell the difference anyway? But don't worry, the only similarities are powerful noble houses in a political struggle. Great episode, really enjoyed it, the plot starts to get momentum and I really enjoy the characters. Almost all of them have...

I observed the same. In person is much more fun to me, due to direct interaction, having physical minis and maps and pens, having cross-talk, its just more liveley. But we always get much less done than in online play. No you just move their turn forwards. As stated if they don't want to they...

Ok I think I need to see some new episodes to see if they actually feel like adult Millenials or if they just slapped than on them.

My initial impression flattened a bit. I finished it yesterday and while the strenghts remain, I must say that unfortunately the author took something from videogames that I could've been good without: level grinding. In the middle of the book there are some boring passages where Carl and...

I understand that, I found characterization not a little thing though. Imagine Homer suddenly behaving and speaking like Lisa (without any plot reason). And a lot of their characterization and background is based on their generation, at least thats how I read them. I mean its not a big thing...

But it is exactly that. Just because its organic and good, doesnt make it something else. Its exposition and its a lot. Yes, some plot events happened already but it still feels all like the premonition of the REAL inciting incidient that will push the players into action and form them in their...

haha thanks for the reminder - I actually really liked that one, don't know how I could forget

Yes I exaggerate to make the point that acting like there is none exposition is wrong. The monologues are just an obvious example, but the two episodes are THE exposition. Its the introductory act to the story where all the characters and the world get introduced. There is not a lot of plot...

of course we have, everytime someone rolls high on an INT check and Brennan delivers a 5-minute lore dump.

I didn't touch Dungeon Crawler Carl for a year since I heard of it for the first time. I hate LitRPG, I alwas hated the trope of being part of a game and leveling up in a story and all that metagameplay being forced into a story. But everyone told me to give it a chance and that I would like it...

Not about gaming, but reading: This is how I got out of my 10 year long reading slump! I read whatever I am in the mood for and I stop reading when I feel forcing myself. Yes this sometimes leads to having a dozen started books and none finished, but I don't stress myself anymore about started...

I love it! This could be the first CR campaign I will actually watch every week - although I said the same about CR2 and CR3 and than they lost me at some point. But I know Brennans style a lot from Dimension 20, which I watch religiously. I think it shows that Brennan has tons of experience as...
