Does anyone have any examples of board games created by AI? I'm doubtful. I took a look at AEG's game list because I wasn't too familiar. Turns out I have War Chest, which is a combination tile placement / unit movement game. Maybe that's a variation on existing mechanics, but then I see...

I'm pretty sure in my 40 years of rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest I've never seen someone roll 4 ones. I did run a DCC 0 level funnel where out of the 15 scratch off character sheets one of them had a 3 agility. He didn't make it. But half the party didn't either. I think his real...

Thieves exist in D&D because of these guys. Who happen to be both thieves and warriors. (also one is a wizard's apprentice too, which is why originally thieves had some magical aptitude.)

Funny you should mention that, that's exactly what I did with my 3e campaign I ran 20 years ago. Forge is a great adventure and slotted in perfectly between B2 and the A series.

This doesn't seem correct, it says right on the back cover:

Price is ok, it sits fine with Heroquest at Target. I played Keep on the Borderlands back in the day (and more recently). I hope it's good. I love me some starter sets. Paizo's beginner boxes were top notch.

I hope it's Dark Sun. I've never played God of War but tonally it seems to fit.

Someone may have failed their reading the sample page check, as it explains how the character depicted is not what he appears to be.

Definitely the Keep on the Shadowfell starter adventure. Even if you just use the pregens and maps and monster stats and make your own adventure. 4e is very a different different game, you and your group might as well try it out before spending a bunch of money on it. I was nostalgic myself...

Zero magic. A party of rogues raiding a dungeon still feels like D&D to me.

Yeah I'm on SJG's mailing list. I meant more when I browse around the internet I wish the ads were "This thing is available in our store now!" instead of the constant "Signup to be notified when our new kickstarter starts!" All the SJG games I've kickstarted have turned out great, actually...

Car Wars 6th is great. Also most of the classic stuff was reprinted a few years back if you wanted to get into the lore. I love most Steve Jackson games stuff, I'm kind of over Kickstarter though. I wish I got ads when kickstarted stuff was retail available rather then when a kickstarter was...

How dare they change a game I've never spent a dime on!

I feel like a kid getting a rpg boxed set from relatives who thought it was a board game has been happening since at least the early 80's.

Someone needs to tell me if Nancy Kulp is actually rollerskating in this episode or I'll have to be buying it.

Whoa boy did not know that. Had to go look that up, because the Greyhwak supplement was before my time. That entry includes that the Dragon queen is striped and has a wyvern tail, and there's also a weird dig on 'women's lib'.

It's unusual that experienced players would make the newbie be the DM, so yeah, I can see that would be tough. D&D is getting more unwieldy, true, but it's still the least unwieldy edition so far.

I'm 50, and my kids are 13 and 15, so yeah this marketing makes sense to me.
