    Evil Genius Games bleeding personnel?

    That's not terribly comforting, because either that investor is making public statements with (alleged) material misrepresentations designed to induce investment or EGG isn't doing so now but the investors have plans to do so in the future as part of an existing business strategy so that EGG can...

    D&D Celebrity Satine Phoenix & Husband Jamison Stone Accused Of Abuse Towards Freelancers

    Starting to see why WotC eventually parted ways - People reported abuse & failure to pay. Satine offered advice to 'talk it out', told no one else in WotC, then kept working with the person she had reports about. This one I can't put on WotC, this sounds like flat out dereliction of duty.

    If you'd like to see him play, he's done Honey Heist with Loading Ready Run on their Dice Friends series.

    D&D Celebrity Satine Phoenix & Husband Jamison Stone Accused Of Abuse Towards Freelancers

    Nah, Satine's most recent toxic behaviors have just come to light, but she has a long and storied history of 'falling in with the wrong people' from James Desborugh to Zak S, and it's not like WotC doesn't continually have bad actors showing up all the time because they are Nerd Notable (not...

    D&D Celebrity Satine Phoenix & Husband Jamison Stone Accused Of Abuse Towards Freelancers

    Jennifer Kretcher had a few notes on that, now that she's coming forward. Basically Satine was a Big Deal on the backend (Think producer or directer in Hollywood speak) and has successfully blown up a number of people's careers if she didn't like them. This supports Liisa Lee's statements.

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    You don't even have to particularly screw up, as Wired's Story (alllllllllllll the content warnings. You can guess the type of people trying to evade detection) - you just need someone with nation-state levels of resources. Because Bitcoin & Etherium in particular have negligable transaction...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    OH, it's fine to get the response. The fact that he fell for 'sustainable crypto' shows he's still utterly clueless something that Linda Codega came by to share an article about how the crypto glipner is using still relies on Etherium. The joke is that the only crypto that's actually capable of...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    I mean, the company eventually severed ties. After Nicole got banned from RPG.net claiming that all the accusations were rooted in bad faith, and besides, Onyx Path has done far worse! Let's read that ban, shall we? When GR decided to do something it was a notice that they were severing ties...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Hey now. CA has spent the past few years saying nothing happened and he's an innocent victim of cancel culture & metoo mentality, and Green Ronin backs him up. So who's to say what happened? It's just CA's word against the victim's. And the VP of the Horror Writers Guild of America. And some of...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Fine. They're a pyramid scheme. As detailed in the Bitcoin whitepaper. It's a system that requires more people to put money in so that anyone can get money out. When new investors stop, everyone loses everything. Bernie Madoff was in jail for the exact same type of scheme. Crypto fails at...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Then you're the wrong person to try to defend the company, because no one really cares about another heartbreaker, the question is about what, exactly, an NFT provides that a standard centralized hosted database does not and so far none of the 'gaming nfts' has provided an answer. Because as...

    Release [Chaosium] Call of Cthulhu arrives on digital collectable app VeVe

    If you ever feel confused about NFTs or Cryptocurrencies (NFTs are a use case for Cryptocurrency and require an associated cryptocurrency to work with) just know that this is intentional. Like all good conmen and grifters, they know that complexity is the best place to hide malfeasance. Each...

    Release [Chaosium] Call of Cthulhu arrives on digital collectable app VeVe

    That's not how NFTs work. Your idea would at least have some value. Because The Blockchain is 100% public facing, and everything you are purchasing must be in the token (stored on the blockchain) everyone has access to the high resolution jpeg. You could, if you wanted to, create a storage...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo's Stephen Radney-MacFarland Previews The Rogue Class For Pathfinder 2nd Edition!

    DYAC - Was supposed to be chokepoint. Essentially there are many enemies who are immune to 'fear' but very few that are immune to 'engaged in melee by an ally'. So you're going to have to compare Gang Up - the ability to sneak attack anyone who's in melee with your party - against all the...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo's Stephen Radney-MacFarland Previews The Rogue Class For Pathfinder 2nd Edition!

    This all depends on what kind of battles you are running. Hearing up allows you totag team with the classicon lines of enemies, or large or huge targets. Or people in a coffee point. Given the amount of critters immune to fear or other status effects. Even on a medium target that's a huge...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo's Stephen Radney-MacFarland Previews The Rogue Class For Pathfinder 2nd Edition!

    Gang attack looks mandatory and a tax. It's also level 6 and is something rogues get for free in 5e. I'm not sure how you make something better than "actually use your core feature" as an alternative

    D&D 5E My New Players Have Quit 5th Edition

    Y'know, PG 76 is weird about this (I have v.01) - It seems like you go to -[hp] from a hit you die. If you take less you go to 0 hp and make death saves. I read the 'natural' language that you keep track of extra damage and die if the total hits neg[hp] value but I can see on further reading...

    D&D 5E My New Players Have Quit 5th Edition

    Something changed. You die at Negative HP value. The first encounter has 4 goblins and a bugbear who puts out damage a few points below the ogre. If they get surprise (due to bad rolls etc) and roll normally you're looking at at least one dead PC because the bugbear can reduce direct to dead...

    D&D 5E Blog Post by Robert J. Schwalb

    Don't Dog Whistle and you won't get called on it. Seems simple enough. I mean...he clearly lays the blame at when fighters wanted to do more than just swing a sword or loose an arrow. He talks about the math minded spellcasters but it's really the people who wanted to play Conan (the wizard...

    D&D 5E Additive versus subtractive modularity

    And I'm betting to WotC's mind that's not a playstyle, that's a single minute issue. If I had to hazard a guess what they would look for in a 3.x playstyle is a list of things that 3.x intentionally encourages - System mastery, purpose built characters and careful resource allocation between...
