I strongly disagree with this part. Is part of that whole physical vs mental skills divide, where to play someone smart, you have to be smart yourself, but if want to play someone strong, you don't have to prove that you yourself can lift 50kg deadweight or whatever. If someone wants to play...

And then there is the cut after the bite, to when in theory he has now eaten it, but chip packet now fuller some time passed, opening up potential that took a bite, then spat it out making a mess, and they had to reset everything up and filled the chip packet a lot more than previous.

I found it confusing as well, but dug up the below, showing SLA industries being an RPG itself set in far future with a second edition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLA_Industries

I found the Vader comics tgen the continuation into the Doctor Aphra comics very good. The more general Star Wars ones covering events for Luke, Leia and Han between New Hope and Empire Strikes back, then Luke, Leia and Lando between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were enjoyable...

I dont know. I dont play MTG, but like to collect some of the cards based on various IP because I like the art, nice miniature pieces of art for IPs I like (Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer, Forgotten Realms etc). Im not one to buy the booster packs as such, I will buy the prepackaged...

Voted Jingo in the end, but so many good books, it is a hard choice :) im possibly one of the few that rates the Rincewind books. But whether the Rincewind books, the watch, Death, the witches, Moist books or the various more one shot type, they are all good and some simply fantastic.

Wow, did not know that :(

Edit Retro_x has an informative post below outlining ethical concerns with audible that you will want to consider before looking at the below* People may be interested to know that Audible has a sale going on on various series. Includes likes of Horus Heresy, 40k, Cosmere, Fourth Wing...

Five kids, 18, 16, 14, 3 and 1. Older 3 very much into dnd, and oldest also happily plays other RPGs like soulbound, edge of the empire. Unfortunately with the 3 and 1 year old im on a bit of a l hiatus from gaming myself.

I think slop is a bit harsh, there were bad books but good books too. I think to Staffans point, it goes wrong whrn too directly linked. Someone shouldn't have to read the novels to keep up with the rpg setting, or things from novels be automatically applied to the setting. But I think books...

I think where the lines get blurred is when they do novels as well for a setting, like the hundreds of forgotten realms and dragonlance novels. Those are intended for people to enjoy the stories and continuity as stories follow on from each other. Ultimately I came into Forgotten Realms from...

Seeing latest humble bundle book bundle with good Forgotten Realms novels, I see myself rereading Cyrse of the Azure Bonds and the Counselors and Kings trilogy and trying Brimstone Angels for the first time this year.

While I think i generally agree with a lot of this, I would say I feel no one has any obligation to reach out to others with compassion / understanding. I think it is fine if people want to cut others out of their life due to their beliefs / actions - yes it may entrench the other side, but...

I think if the person bought / enjoyed the games before knowing, while it may coloir their perception of some books (i can't look at Eddings books the same way anymore) I wont hold it against them if they continue to enjoy playing the game. Where i will judge, is where they decide to continue...

Following Interceptor City, been doing my normal start of year reading of various Kindle unlimited books, making use of their black Friday deal on Kindle unlimited before unsubscribing again:) Seem to be erring on horror these days. Last year was reading through various Aliens Omnibuses (cant...

I was somewhat inspired also by overgeekeds post in what are you reading about kishōtenketsu story structure, and recognizing i quite like that sort of structure, that line up with some of my comfort sort of reads, where a lot less 'stress' than reading books with a lot of tension etc.

You will get a series of events, but post events i think you can readily tie them together into a story as such. I think with dnd it is a post session thing where would string the events into a story, as a lot of in game play is determining things like do I hit, does anyone need to make a...

While I may agree with not getting that outcome naturally, I don't think that is only definition of story, and that you can have stories without conflict / rising action, and that dnd 2e cpuld generate those sorts of stories.

Are you me? Im watching thread for same reason:) my kids at least know i like spoilers, so they watch the movies/ shows i can't and let me know what happens :)

Well, in hypothetical example, that could mean a lot of rolls during prep to do possible encounters each time period, possibly each hour, depending on how granular the time period impacts on encounters are, and also how much of thr weather you want to determine ahead, again maybe hour by hour...
