    Gaming Cons Have Changed (I'm Old)

    Most of the time, you're better off going off site to get food. Checking out new venues can be an adventure in it's own right!

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    If you don't want a single control spell to end an encounter, just give your boss monster an army of underlings to accompany them during the boss fight!

    Contemporary Simulationist TTRPGs [+]

    Did we mention Pioneer yet?? I might have missed it browsing through this thread? I assume having someone with NASA experience write your space TTRPG qualifies it as simulationist?? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mongoosepublishing/the-pioneer-rpg-explore-the-solar-system "Pioneer was...

    Matt Colville's Community

    I have to disagree with the premise of this thread because I'm firmly in the camp that Gygaxian Naturalism will produce the strongest community in the long term. https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-wars-are-good-for-enworld.699118/

    Contemporary Simulationist TTRPGs [+]

    Well the person who wrote it recommends using a bennie system to over ride some dice rolls so that you're more likely to generate a human friendly planet, but a true simulator will have no problem rolling dozens or hundreds of planets until a life supporting plamet is rolled up!

    What TTRPGs Excel At Not Having Combat?

    Golden Sky Stories is a heartwarming, non-violent role-playing game from Japan, by Ryo Kamiya. In this game, players take on the role of henge, animals that have just a little bit of magical power. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/118784/golden-sky-stories

    Contemporary Simulationist TTRPGs [+]

    If you're looking for simulation, then I would like to recommend "Architect of Worlds," a sciencetifically accurate world generation system. It may take four hours for a first timer to generate a planet using this system but it's a small price to pay to accurately simulate the creation of a...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I guess being produced in Mexico by a Mexican animation company is bound to make it pro Mexican. It's more faithful to Aztec culture then Ninja Batman was to Japanese culture!

    Fantasy shouldn't be political??? Could have fooled me... Non fantasy entertainment can be quite political too (and not grandma friendly)...

    It was always there. You (or they) just couldn't see it until now.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Where the rules don't reflect how people actually use the game, forcing them to houserule to make it suits their taste? We're already there again! https://www.enworld.org/threads/mike-mearls-explains-why-your-boss-monsters-die-too-easily.715658/

    I consider my posting a form of art. And art is suppose to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed.

    So BG3 is the ideal D&D experience since it can cater to many different/opposing desires at once?

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    But so many people claim D&D is infinite and capable of all playstyles? Or at least are deathly afraid of excluding people from D&D.

    Do you think I oppose representation? Am i being too coy with my words? Do I need to sing out feelings on the subject?? Edit: also,

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    It isn't. That was never my position. Why do you think that? I'm asking if people who oppose the "your story to tell" picture want Hasbro to restrict the sexual lives of characters instead??

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I mean "do the people who complained about the Queer picture want Hasbro to regulate who our characters can love?" As in do they want Hasbro to control what type of content people see in the game if it means WOTC excludes the stuff they don't like?

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Isn't the best part of TTRPGs being truly free to do whatever you want without needing it pre created by some system/designer? If my character is free to attempt whatever actions I can imagine, why wouldn't it include having relations with members of my own sex, or changing my sex, or even...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I studied this market. Dungeons and Dragons has less then an eighteen percent chance of surviving the next two decades without the loss of millions of games. This is not a threat; this is the truth. The powerful of this game destroy their own past time, stripping its resources for themselves...
