    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    That is my understanding as well. SF2 is supposedly mix and match with PF2. Might be some terminology issues between PF2(OGL) and SF2(ORC) but probably nothing that can't be puzzled out.

    Your Top 5 Superhero Outfits

    For many of the same logic points for the Christopher Reeve Superman outfit, the Adam West Batman outfit. The Green Lantern movie outfit. Captain Marvel's outfit. I liked the Stark Industries Spiderman outfit for the cool factor but Spiderman is more about doing Spidy things instead of high...

    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    PF2 is a 6 year old game. Possible a lot of folks that already had PF2 skipped the remastered books. The remasters are advertised as includes errata + name changes to escape the last vestiges of WOTC IP. Around $200 for errata and name changes might be more then a lot of existing PF2 players...

    Buffy Reboot Cancelled

    Not sure how someone could be described as a 'hater' if that person never saw the show. Sounds like Hulu is cutting expenses and cancelling a reboot with several known stars is a quick way to cut future expenses. Making a new show with cheap unknown talent seems the fad these days. Its also...

    How Do you have an adult conversation?

    Don't worry about having an 'adult' conversation. Kids often do a better job of communicating then adults. Just have a conversation. The medium of the message depends on the situation. If the situation is salvageable, then in person is probably best. But if the game is primarily VTT, then...

    RPG systems frozen in time

    While generally set in the far future, watching how Traveller deals with computers is entertaining. In the 70's Traveller, computers are massive multi-ton things that sit in the bowels of a ship and can only run one or two things at a time. As the game versions get closer to now in publishing...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Maybe no. Glowing sword. Nat 20. Head severed from attack. Dead dragon. Previous room featured an encounter with a well dressed gentleman offering the Fighter in question "The Big Deal of the Day".

    D&D General Reincarnate is and has always been, weird.

    Have rarely seen Reincarnate used. By the time you have the 6th level Reincarnate, you usually have available the 5th level Raise Dead. And the 7th level Limited Wish is just around the corner. Often the GM would hand wave away the can't Raise Dead that race issue to avoid the party either...

    D&D General Favorite builds for noobs?

    2nd the thought on Fighter, Barbarian and Rogue. Most of us have seen enough shows/movies that feature characters that stab, bash and sneak to quickly grasp the concept and imagine doing that in the middle of a game session. Primary spell casters are fun to play but require additional...

    RPG Evolution: The Phantom Party

    I have seen a variation of this at conventions. Players in early rounds of Game A will also schedule slots in later time slots in Game B in case they lose early in Game A. If they win early rounds in Game A, they are no shows for Game B. If you are running Game B, you quickly learn to deal...

    What mechanics or subsystems do you use regardless of the game you are running/playing?

    A limited variation on the Go Back to Town Card above. IF a party encounters a situation where a nominal amount of <normal thing> is needed and no one in the party has such an thing AND the party has enough cash on hand to have purchased the thing, THEN someone in the party is assumed to have...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Many "Anti PC" Abilities are to Many?

    Suggestions for other effects: Area that prevents ranged magic. No fireball. But touch and burst spells are OK. Area that limits physical ranged weapons. Maybe range increments are decreased by 80%(Pick a number), 100ft becomes 20ft. All of a sudden, that long ranged compound strength bow is...

    What's your favorite Linux distro?

    Ubuntu or its lighter sibling, Lubuntu. Running Lubuntu on a Dell thin client used as a media server for both ripped media and streamed stuff. No fan so silent. The ripping PC uses Ubuntu in a case that has four 5.25 bays. Odd how often a DVD/BR won't read in one drive but will be fine in a...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Go Bag

    Many years ago, snagged a mil-surplus assault pack mollie style for not much. Plus some of the add on containers. Currently setup with two 40mm grenade pouches( 1 LED headlight), (1 loan a dice set). A 1 qt canteen carrier(normally fit a repurposed 20 oz Gatorade bottle with drink of choice)...

    Neopets Terminates Geekify's License, TTRPG in Jeopardy

    It is a rare game design that survives first contact with real players. Very likely that if a Neopets fan sits down in a FLGS to run a legit G rated game, that at least one player will have NO idea what a neopet is or that the neopet genre is supposed to be G rated only. Best to have at least...

    People can stop complaining about "historically inaccurate foods" in their RPGs now

    Considering that the whole point of the real history spice trade was so folks could enjoy tastes from 'not here', hard to argue that any food is historically not accurate for anyone wealthy enough to afford the transport costs. Also, any PCs that are not the game's equivalent of first level...

    There Was a Magic: The Gathering RPG Being Developed at WotC And You Can Bid On The Draft For Charity

    For all the folks wondering about copyright and distribution rights for whoever buys this, don't see how it is much different then walking into a used book store and buying a PHB or Core book. Owning the physical copy of a PHB doesn't legally allow you to make and distribute copies or produce...

    There Was a Magic: The Gathering RPG Being Developed at WotC And You Can Bid On The Draft For Charity

    Version 4.1? Guess it went through several revisions. Wonder how long it was under development?

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

    This. Was in a good group with an engaged couple. Both were good, fun players. They both left at the same time. The story I got from the GM was that her parents found out she was playing D&D and so was her fiance. Parents gave her a choice. Walk away from that evil corrupting person or be...
