Combat is always my least-favorite part of an adventure game.

You're preaching to the choir, buddy; I love me some Not-D&D games. (It's one of my favorite weekly articles here on EN World, in fact!) My Current Top Five Not-D&D Games: Call of Cthulhu Mouseguard Shadowrun Old Gods of Appalachia RPG Dread And of the games I haven't had a chance to play...

I don't disagree; that certainly is a problem that can happen. Admittedly a lot less frequently now that we have the internet and websites like EN World. There's usually very little doubt if someone is unhappy with a game 'round these parts. :) When people are chronically unhappy with...

Why did the hipster burn his tongue? (He was drinking coffee before it was cool.)

Ah, yes...I totally misunderstood you, @Gradine. Lo siento.

And it's also possible to both enjoy something completely and want to improve/customize it. Most folks like to customize their pizza...but I've seen threads where any customizations at all are used as indictments against the whole establishment. Wishing the pizzeria had jalapeños on their...

I guess I take them at their word: if someone says they enjoy something, they are probably right. I don't dig too hard into trying to convince them otherwise, because that approach usually ends badly. A better approach would be "if you like the pizza here, you might also enjoy the pizza...

Any fans of pickled okra up in here?

(walks into a pizza shop, clears throat) "Why are so many people still eating here?! This place has been open since 1974, and there are tons of new pizza places all over the city!" (nobody notices him) "There are better options out there, people!!!" (still ignored) "You don't have to keep...

(Required listening: TMBG, "Man It's So Loud In Here") They revamped the pho shop completely now it looks just like a nightclub Everyone's excited and confused.

So--just to make sure I understand the issue-- Mastercard and Visa told them "remove this material immediately or lose our services," and if Itch.io didn't do as they demanded, everyone who wanted to buy anything at Itch.io (regardless of whether it was deemed NSFW or whatever) wouldn't be able...

Most of our campaigns last until 14th or 15th level, but our most recent one went all the way to 20th. ("Never again," we all agreed.)

Ooof. Hoisted by their own petards.

I'd say my interest in TTRPGs and Tolkien hit about the same time: I was introduced to both in 5th and 6th grade, along with Lloyd Alexander and Terry Brooks. Tolkien's works were a definite influence, but not any larger than most of the fantasy novels available at the time. Great. Now I'm...

I get about $30/week in spending money, after all of my financial obligations are taken care of. That's usually enough to buy myself lunch on occasion, or have a quick pint after work with some friends, whatever. As far as my gaming hobby is concerned, it's usually enough to get a couple of...

"I don't like the way this discussion is going, so I'm gonna stink up the room until it gets locked by the moderat...hey! Why can't I see the thread anymore?"

I think the thrust of the argument is, this action will unfairly impact LGBTQIA+ game developers and consumers, therefore it's illegal discrimination.

Ah geez, I didn't even think of that. I've purchased three charity bundles from them to support LGBTQIA+ charities...and now it looks like they might not be able to do those drives anymore. That will directly impact a lot of nonprofit organizations that protect and serve the LGBTQIA+...
