If you live in a larger city, see if TooGoodToGo has taken root. It is an app that lists deals from restaurants when they have too much of something, often near closing, but not always. You can get great deals and is a good excuse to try new places. It is still fairly new to the USA and seems...

My workspace is pretty conservative in terms of dress and office/cubicle decoration. While I still have a bit of hesitation in coming out of the game closet at work, I mostly don't bring it up because other than kids, weather, and maybe local sports teams, most conversations stay work related. I...

Yeah, I mean every game I play is actual play and live play. Maybe "broadcast actual/live play" would be better? BAP? BLP?

I still read "AP" as Associated Press, have to remind myself this is a gaming forum and then read it as Adventure Path because that is the first TTRPG use of the initials I encountered. Having AP being used for Adventure Path and Actual Play in the same thread is confusing. My New Years...

I guess I'm not really disagreeing insofar that I'm not going to disagree with your person view of D&D. I personally enjoy D&D, even if I've not been playing it for over a year. Lots of people are obviously enjoying it and sticking with it because they enjoy it and are familiar with it. Do I...

Moving to Milwaukee made me realize how good I had it in the Twin Cities. From my old home in Roseville, I was minutes away from Gamezenter (Previously Fantasy Flights Game Center) and the The Source. The source has a great collection of new and old TTRPGs. Gamezenter has incredible play spaces...

Disagree with the first point, but agree with (less emotionally) with the second. I appreciate D&D as having enough cultural cachet and market penetration to act as a gateway to the hobby. I wouldn't have had nearly as many opportunities to introduce people to the variety of other games I have...

Sometime the pressures of Kickstarter itself leads to mental health issues. I try to default to sympathy. It is just another risk I accept when backing a project by a solo creator or small team. I've had some projects that I thought for sure were going to fail when it became clear that the...

Thanks for the context. I came at it for completely different direction. I never heard of the company and was just searching for TTRPG world building tools and after some research I chose RealmWorks. I came into it expecting it to be a prep tool. It was great for the worldbuilding aspect of the...

Isn't the installed version of Hero Lab still supported? I mainly used Hero Labs in conjunction with RealmWorks because of how you could launch an encounter in Hero Labs from RealmWorks. I also don't use any of their software these days but basically because of the opposite reason as you. After...

I'm mostly neutral. If it is a newer creator and the Kickstarter relates to expansion of the core product, that might make me hesitant. Otherwise, I just ignore the stretch goals and back for what I want. If the stretch goals apply to my tier and they send a bunch of stuff I don't care about, I...

Sine I played and bought the game at Game Hole Con, Stealing Stories for the Devil by Monte Cook Games. InSPECTres continues to be solid standby.

Ouch. I didn't back the Kickstarter, but bought the software after it was released. It had so much promise and I continued to use it long after Lone Wolf ended support for it. Earlier this year I finally used Farling's RealmWorks importer mod for Foundry and migrated my world to Foundry. I...

Its gotten much better, but for a while porch pirates were bad in my neighborhood. Still, for anything expensive/important I use the option to deliver to pickup locations.

What kind of games are you running!? I approve! :) My collection of different sized fold out banquet and work tables that or select from and arrange depending upon the game and number of people would never survive us standing on them, but I wouldn't be particularly put out if one is...

The real challenge for adults, I've found, is to retain a sense of play. Those who do, those who don't mind or can laugh off looking dumb and making mistakes, who can enjoy doing something for the fun of it are the ones most likely to find themselves good at something, often precisely because...

This discussion thread has more historical significance than his museum.

DM: "You find yourself standing in an open field, west of a white house." PLAYER: "I check the mail."

Wait... I've just always thought it made logical sense (in English I read left to right, so...) to put the core books on the left. Core, supplements/expansion rules, settings, and then adventures. Now I'm questioning if this is just because I'm left handed.
