I looked at the campaign and all the artwork looks similar. I don’t even dislike it, it’s quite suitable D&D art (in the modern, light-hearted style) but yes, definitely not “grim”.

Yes. So tragic, so grim. He’s carrying a scythe, you see. And he wishes it were raining. And his girlfriend just dumped him. It’s all quite grim.

Must’ve been something like that, you’re right they all came out of nowhere. I think it might slightly predated the pandemic though, I remember looking at such dice around Xmas 2019. No doubt that the pandemic-era “I need a side-hustle” culture just turbocharged it, the same way that D&D got...

Cheers, friend. But don’t throw them away! Donate them to some player who might use them, it’s better than the waste.

I can understand that too, it is fun to get new dice. With veteran players, I suspect that many of us have acquired enough dice over the years that “new dice” just doesnt have quite the same appeal anymore. Man, remember when you there were, like, two companies for polyhedral dice?? Now it seems...

I will say those “dragon scale” dice are neat, something I hadn’t seen before. I don’t care about the texture, but the slashes bleeding over the edges (rather than pips) is a pretty cool look. I’d have to train my brain to read those dice on sight though—most of us have a lifetime of practice...

Some of these dice look very cool, but I’m also starting to think I’m the only one who prefers ultra-readable dice: big numbers, high contrast, no embellishments

@Abstruse Colossal 70+ Dungeons RPG Collection | eBook Bundle | Fanatical

Seems plausible. I recall reading some fascinating stats (I think posted by you) about how the general pledge patterns in crowdfunding tend to be U-shaped and front-loaded. A creator would probably have a solid guess by half way whether their campaign has the momentum to hit their goal...

Just chiming in to say that I continue to be appalled by this situation. But I appreciate the updates, @Staffan

I don’t see this one on your list but I got an email about it from Goodman Games: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/colossal-70-dungeons-rpg-collection I paid $25 CAD. I got 4 holiday modules for DCC RPG, and the entire 3.5 Dungeon Crawl Classics lineup, a few of which are huge products that...

Are there even steps between AAA and Indie studios?? /s

I can relate to loving a setting too much to want to play there. (For me it’s original Eberron.) The setting becomes this precious thing that you don’t trust other players to respect—I think this is a relatable experience, but also perhaps a sign that I need to let go instead of holding on so...

No, that’s the upcoming A Bug’s Life sourcebook: “Flik’s Mound of Everything”

Came to make the same joke. WotC could bundle it with a magnifier!

“What did you call Eberron??? Get ‘em!!” /s

That’s lovely for you, but this thread is about spaceships. Thus far you’ve only made a cryptic comment about software, a terse assertion that that’s somehow relevant here, and then this anecdote about becoming a librarian. I’m choosing to ignore the fact that you seem to using an allegory to...

…What is it?

Am I trippin? How is this related to the topic? Is this comment appearing here by accident?

Your description of the scene and quote is a little bit off. For anybody who hasn’t seen this film, Tuco (“The Ugly” per the movie’s title) is taking a bath in an abandoned building, but knows he’s being followed. So he behaves deliberately unstealthily to bait the would-be assassin (a minor...
