Unfortunately didn't have that long of a conversation about it. Class and all that got in the way. :D But, I think that @Ruin Explorer has the right of it. It was a fun thing that's not screen related. Note, her books were all in Chinese as well. It took a bit of a conversation to figure...

That's what blew me away. It wasn't an ESL camp. These kids go to immersion schools, so, their English is already pretty much fluent (or at least my student's was). I mean, sheesh, I've got students of my own here that I've taught ESL to for years and I wouldn't dream of trying D&D out on them.

I know that D&D has been getting all sorts of wide spread acceptance but, this was a new experience for me. I teach online English classes to Chinese students in China. Mostly kids from elementary up to high school age. Today I had a new student. She announced that she was tired because she...

Heh. Sometimes I remember why I don't live in Canada anymore. :D Of course, we have volcanoes. So, I guess you gotta take the rough with the smooth.

Oh, that's just SOOO wrong. LOL. Someday, if I actually had any skill and/or talent with mapping, I'd love to create a 3D megadungeon where you have all sorts of verticality and ability to take multiple routes from A to B that might stay on a plane, or go up or down in order to reach B...

Will have to check that out. I'm polishing off a run on Battletech BTA3062 before really diving into Menace. I'm almost at the end of my career, so, it won't be long. But, yeah, always in the mood for something like that.

/edit Whoops nothing to see here.

Heh, ironically, this popped up on the map Reddit I frequent: I would love to use this, but, I'm afraid my players would probably hate me forever! Still, it needs verticality.

Just to echo this. I adore mega-dungeons. It's one of my favorite ways to play. I'd recommend a couple of things: 1. Clear goal for the session that is doable in that session. Or, if it's not, then clear ... milestones (to borrow a term) where you can put a pin in things until such time as...

Well, downloaded Menace and absolutely LOVING it. Hitting all the right places for a turn based combat game. It's still early release, so, it's a bit rough, but, very, very cool. Challenging, complex in just the right places. Even the UI isn't too bad. I've had a couple of miss clicks at...

I keep failing my damn Will save to disengage. Sigh.

For those of us who aren't really big into video games, would it be too much to ask people not to use acronyms for games? I tried reading the last two posts here and have absolutely no idea what it's about. I mean, sure, I can talk about BTA 3062 until the cows come home, but, I wouldn't...

That's kinda/sorta how Scarred Lands works. The Titans actually created everything, including the Gods. The Gods rebel, since the gods get their power from mortals and the Titans keep wiping out all the mortals and restarting the world every few thousand years.

I dunno what to say man. I don't do that? I'm pretty easy to please typically, so, I'll try anything pretty much. Tried it, didn't like it. Only tried it again because of recommendations (I.e. doing homework) that the show was worth my time. Turns out it wasn't. I'm a little surprised that...

Oh, don't get me wrong. I have no problems with different. Loki was great. WandaVision, OTOH, did have rather a lot of action in it. But, again, no, I'm a HUGE fan of Moon Knight and Jessica Jones. No, I'm not all in on action and whatnot. It's just that this particular show did nothing...

Bully for you. Like I said, I don't do that. So, that's why I didn't read about it before watching the show. Not really sure why you feel the need to bang on about this. Sorry. I guess? I'm sorry that I didn't do my homework before watching a show? I'm sorry that I thought that a show in...

Again, not English either. Look, I get it. You think that I should have known what the show was before I watched it. I missed the stories. Didn't cross my radar. It happens. 🤷 Tell you what, you tell me how many times you've seen stories about Kusunoki no Bannin and then we'll talk.

+1 for Scarred Lands. LOOOVE the setting. Also Primeval Thule had a really cool way of doing it. The gods in PT are very far away. They do not interact with mortals, like, at all. Each faith is essentially cabalistic with older clerics teaching magic to newer clerics. Basically, they are...

Very much describes me. After finding most fandoms to be a toxic cesspit, I've largely abandoned any fansites or discussions of pretty much anything so that I can come to a show without a bunch of pre-conceptions and fresh eyes. Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, pretty much any major franchise, I...

Not all of us live in the US. Never saw any marketing about this. Had no idea what it was. Certainly never would have guessed it was this. Hey, I'm not saying it's bad. The acting is good. The actors are great. It's just 100% not anything I'm interested in. If it didn't have the Marvel...
