I don't see any tenement halls...

I ask this entirely in good faith, and if the clear mod response is that this also counts as line crossing, I won't belabour the point. That said... The matter with the person in question goes beyond approval or disapproval, I'd say. We're talking about someone who's had an active business...

The only other guy who ignored me (that I know of), I had the same reaction. In fact, there my annoyance was more with the fact that I couldn't ignore him first.

Apologies! I jumped in to the thread straight from the OP, so this one is really on me. Thanks for humouring me though!

On top of what @Micah Sweet said, there are a few things that to me read like assumptions even if the actual tables themselves don't exist. Namely: These made me think like the players have absolutely no way of knowing what the tables contain or how they work besides "The RNG for Road 2 has...

I understand this can't happen due to harrasment risks, but I do wish we had the chance to ask a person who puts us on ignore "Why?". There's a user with whom I had no negative interactions AFAICT, but I realised they put me on block, and I would've liked to ask them why. If I was being a...

I think there's a distinction to be made. In principle, I don't think random tables limit player agency at all. If anything, they limit GM fiat by tying their hands to the constraints of the table. If the table is good at achieving verisimilitude in terms of the content it generates (e.g. the...

To be fair, blue is one of the most unfun opponents to have. I started playing Magic right around The Great Simic Power Creep of 2019 - seeing an opponent slap down a UG land was enough to make me concede sometimes.

Fun fact: Coaches are a big thing in Turkey, and back in the day many coach drivers would write boastful stuff on the back of their bus. One of the most common phrases was, translated into English, "My only competition is Turkish Airlines!" Luckily, Flixbus is now buying all local coach...

You can't get it from D&D Beyond, Fantasy Grounds, or any other digital marketplace. I live in a country where the D&D books aren't really imported, and buying the books through Fantasy Grounds on Steam is the best option (Steam's regional pricing also means this is also really affordable, as...

Hmmm. I kinda liked the "Do I upcast counterspell to make sure that spell is countered, or do I risk the spellcasting ability check?" minigame. Counterspell as it is written is overpowered for sure, but I don't know if I like it being reduced to a Con save either. Especially since this means...

It's true that Gygaxian Naturalism is more about worldbuilding - and notably, treating the game area like a living, logical area. But there's something more to it, especially this bit from Grognardia where the term was coined: In contrast, Gygax says (in Snarf's quote): "It does little to...

What I find ironic with this passage is the fact that Gygaxian Naturalism (as many OSR folk understand and defend) seems quite antithetical to it. Perhaps Gygax himself was not a Gygaxian...

I wonder how Counterspell works now. The unofficial nerf to Counterspell with the new statblocks has been annoying, so I'd like to see how OneD&D handles it.

Critical Role was a home game in 3E/4E era. It became a show in March 2015, by which point all 5E rulebooks were released. Stranger Things was not the end-all-be-all for 5E's success, and 5E was immensely succesful right from the get-go in its niche hobby audience. But things like Google Trends...

I really like those "ribbon" abilities, and I think the OSR influence in 5E's development process definitely affected that. I still think the "iconic" spells didn't need to be overpowered, but I definitely dislike OneD&D's turn towards standardisation. As for which factions had a hand in this...

I guess one way to make a big tent edition is... To have many sides of the big tent actively pushing for their vision in the development. To be fair, it could've gone horribly wrong. It could've been an incoherent mess that tries to do many things but fails to do any of them well. Right now, I...

Oh, I missed the new comic! I guess the Giant really meant it when he said he was going back to an early episode feel.

Actually, the Minthara fixes were removed from Patch 2 at the last minute. Patch notes don't mention her at all. My bad, her fix was added in Hotfix #5! You... Might want to reduce your expectations.
