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.

I actually had a D&D club in middle school, in the mid eighties, but not in high school. Not exactly sure why. During lunch in high school we played spades. Now that I think of it, I wonder if there was a contingent of my friend group who would have been averse to D&D due to their church. I...

So what do we think the tentacles are? Darkmantle? I'm assuming these assets were given to represent something from the movie.

To me, starting out as a kid in the early 80's, the basic and advanced products were all the same game, because they both were unplayable as written. We cobbled together from every source we could find. I inherited both a holmes basic and a player's handbook from my brother, but ended up...

Since every interaction I have had with backerkit has resulted in my receiving product, it somehow feels more reliable to me than kickstarter. I know that is just a trick of the fulfillment process, but psychologically I have no problem working with backerkit, they feel like a known quantity.

So could use this with vanilla 5e right? I love me some dungeons.

I have Wrath of Ashardalon and I think it's bad, like astonishingly bad, for a dungeon crawler. So bad I dig it out occasionally and try to understand what about it I must be missing. Nice minis, that's about it. I don't care for HeroQuest but it's pretty clear what it's going for. I just...

Do you have to make motorcycle noises to make it go? Because I totally would.

Who was this style guide for? Was this mostly a marketing thing or for product designers too?

I also really loved D1-3 when I ran it for a 3rd edition game. I have an inexplicable fondness for Kuo-toa.

Well, depending on the tavern.

Didn't get the NDA. Maybe they took it out once all the beans were spilled.

I feel you on this. Back in the distant 90's, getting a new computer was pretty easy. CPU clock speed, RAM, and HDD size all doubled every 2 years, so it was easy to just wait 2 years, put down the the same money, and get a box that was obviously superior.
