You don't play Arma 3. You live it, one round at a time.

Sounds like Zweihaender to me. https://publishing.andrewsmcmeel.com/zweihanderrpg/

Makes sense, if China is still interested in trimming that population down. Unless . . . does the robot get pregnant?

Oh, whoops. I just answered "no" to "would you buy D&D products?" Silly me!

What are the odds that someone wanted to make a supervillain movie at the same time that someone wanted to make a superhero movie? Crazy!

Glad to see the winter solstice on top, where it belongs. But I suspect "psychosis" is a better term to use than "hysteria." Only Def Leppard gets a pass on that word from me.

What about the relief of knowing the answer to the question: can you really do Olympic downhill skiing with a torn ACL?

Yeah, I ran into a megadungeon by accident too: https://oubliette.bin.sh/ Run the Endless Oubliette, but don't tell them it's endless. Just say, "look, just hold off on hating me until you see what's at the end of it. You're gonna love it!"

Besides using the donjon, I don't think that there is a quick, efficient way to design game worlds. "Anyone who says differently is selling something." https://donjon.bin.sh/

That sounds pretty awesome! Is this link in the OP? I didn't see it: https://sanglorian.github.io/flow/

It's a good thing they didn't call it "Chill Satanic Beats."

I think @Benjamin Olson was going for the former. I'm going with the latter, when "most of the mental load of planning or running a game relates to having balanced combats and combat stats familiar and at the ready, and then the actual combats are often on the sloggy side." When I'm writing up...

If you're on a budget, just watch the Neverending Story instead. Unless, of course, you like wi-fi jokes.

Well, D&D is easy to pick on. But there is a game design reason for fighters being meat-shields: if fighters are good at anything else, other classes lose their lustre. Fighters, in D&D, MUST be the meat-shields, because that's why someone picks the fighter class. If you want to be good at...

Are you seeing a different Old School than I am? I thought it was about armor classes that required understanding negative numbers and endless tables. In part. Or should it be called OSRL - Old School Rules Light?

Usually before I buy them / after I've flipped through them at Barnes and Noble.

It seems like everyone who wants an opinion on what to do next in his/her game provides a writeup that is waaaaay too long. I don't need to know what town Zorak is from and what school of wizardry his sister-in-law is considering for a specialization - to offer my opinion on whether he should...

Funny how shortly after these two mention the show (producers?) being broke, there's a quick reminder that Disney and ABC are behind it.

Fun is trickling in! You can try Eamon's Beginners' Cave with the link in the updated Original Post. Eamon, or "the Wonderful World of Eamon," is one of the earliest text-based RPGs on computer. It was an open system to which any user could create its own dungeon/quest module and add to the...
