    RPG Evolution: The Phantom Party

    I can see this happening for single events, but a recurring session with a running campaign is imho something different from a one-shot event.

    RPG Evolution: The Phantom Party

    I would argue that UK culture is halfway between the European 'average' and the US, in some things more then in others. So that's not that unexpected to be honest. But I wonder how this works in other parts of the world? Brazil, France, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Japan, etc. A more diverse...

    Firefly Revival Confirmed

    The B5 world was more interesting then the Firefly world. But overall I agree with your 'lightning in a bottle' statement. The thing is, 'lightning in a bottle' might be rare, but it isn't unique. Thus it can be repeated, might not be the same kind of lightning, but it could be good anyway...

    RPG Evolution: The Phantom Party

    WTF!?!? As I've mentioned elsewhere, this is a cultural thing/issue. This is not 'normal' across the globe. Around here it would be pretty much anathema unless you have a pretty darned good reason, having to go suddenly to the hospital or something similar. We do have the occasional situation...

    Firefly Revival Confirmed

    Certain aspects had 'potential', like the Reavers and certain other things that came to light during the series and movie. Also the cowboys in space had a nice ring to it. But they can polish it to a diamond or a turd, let's see what happens... But others do, as such, your (or my) opinion...

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    ICv2 does not ask US hobby stores numbers, they ask what they feel was more popular.

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    I'm not angry about it, just realistic, the OP was asking the question of 'anyone'... I think I qualify as 'anyone'? ;) Where I do get annoyed is when folks say "If you look at any actual reviews oft he game...", which ones exactly? Which reviews are actually good and not viewed through fan...

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    The reality TV show Big Brother has been popular for 25+ years, but we don't need a pnp RPG for that either... You can like something, that there's a pnp RPG for your like is great for you! You just don't need to push it like it's the best thing since sliced bread! Nor do you need to justify...

    Firefly Revival Confirmed

    True, but even if he was still with us, he would be 80 years old and not every 80 year old is the same spry 80 year old... I wonder who's voice Shepherd Book will feature? Or will they write him out of the animation?

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    Remember the Exploding Kittens kickstarter? It was big, it was popular, but most board/card game enthusiast thought it was simplistic garbage... As the overlap between Exploding Kittens fans and board/card game fans tiny. The Exploding Kittens KS had 220k backers, the Cosmere RPG KS had 55k...

    Firefly Revival Confirmed

    I like! Animation is an interesting choice, it does give them more flexibility that age wouldn't allow. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't happen, but I'll not invest myself too much into expectations. If it happens, great! If not, aww... And even if this isn't for every old Firefly fan, just...

    Some news posts don't work: Oops! We ran into some problems.

    It's a known issue, no fix for it unless the owner of this plugin fixes it: XF2 Ignore/Block Essentials | XenForo 2 Addon Which I doubt, as it seems to be a feature and not a bug.

    Vampire the Masquerade: Love the setting but not the system

    While I am tempted to say something similar. They say the don't like the game, but they do like the setting. So saying that they chose the wrong game seems redundant... As you mentioned Monte Cooks WoD, that might be the right path mechanics wise, but it's a different setting, re-imagined by...

    RPG Evolution: Why Paper Beats Pixels

    I do not agree. Physical books vs. digital is a preference. Preferences can impact people in small ways or in big ways. There all kinds of things that influence people that can impact how well they can read on a digital platform how their brains process the data, etc. A simple thing is that...

    Is "finding the right players" a solvable problem, or just luck?

    While that might seem to be the the most logical feature to want in a group, in my experience it isn't (just that). As @Deset Gled said, people change, while they can certainly over decades, they can also suddenly change due to experiences. What I find most important in players is a 'give and...

    Paizo Price of Paizo PDFs goes up in 10 days

    Normally... Yes! In Paizo's case, maybe not... Normally companies sell to distributors, which sells to stores. In the case of Paizo they sell directly, I don't know how much of a percentage of sales that actually is though. A new rule book costs $70 in print (new price), let's say that it...

    Paizo Price of Paizo PDFs goes up in 10 days

    3+ years and they are inflating the prices by 25%-50%, that's significantly outside of the inflation percentages in the US... The related costs also don't involve the tariff shenanigans... So I wonder if this is due their market share shrinking and/or their policy of the rules being 'free'...

    What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

    I think that from an illustrator perspective generative AI is not iterative enough (Sketches => final design), but generative AI was not made for illustrators, as there are too few to matter from an earnings perspective, and to stubborn to get a big adoption. As the AI generative market matures...
