Red dragons are now cinder dragons (coming in Monster Core 2). The Horned Dragon is identical to the Green Dragon. These creatures did not suddenly cease to exist, they're just getting new designs and lore instead of copypasting DnD's ideas.

The gaming industry is absolutely cooked. 8 year dev cycles with violent, nightmarish crunch, where they lay off half the staff every year and then get bought by venture capital vultures are the norm. Journalism outlets got scammed by Facebook in to killing their already functional and stable...

Imagine the beautiful world where the people in this thread adamantly insisting that it's impossible for an RPG to do [thing] would just go read a game where it's expected that you do that thing. I do not see any difference between solving a mystery that is pre-authored by the GM versus the...

Binary success is usually just very boring. Like wow, I have a 45% chance for Literally Nothing to happen? Awesome.

Just some of that Epic Awesomesauce I Love Science!!! facebook-tier "science fandom" where one decides to reject basic facts and fall in love with PR campaigns.

If I like it, then it's worth it even if I don't use it.

There's already a thread on this, and the answer is still no. Try and post real things.

Paper and shipping costs have exploded since 2020. 70 bucks is about what I would expect for a 260 page hardback book with a ton of full-page color illustrations. Like, these are luxury entertainment products. You want it cheap, get a PDF. Andd if you already own Guns & Gears, there is no...

Finally grabbing the Get Loud bundle: The Get Loud TTRPG Bundle by NotWriting and 20 others And eyeballing the Pathfinder humble bundle...

I would simply not get this mad about this subject.

Reddit, famously a very small corner of the internet that nobody uses. This bundle is extremely good. Buy it.

I can only envision a game where weakness (in terms of "power") is defined by not being capable of doing the things you should probably be doing very well due to what your character is. This is generally a design flaw. I'm more interested in like, emotional weaknesses and parameters other than...

Short answer: no. Long answer: his thoughts and feelings surrounding this whole thing are complicated and a big part of later in the manga. All surrounding the broader themes of the work, in particular "what does it mean to desire something".

i heart new games

I fortunately do not have this issue. We finish a game, we play another game, or maybe another campaign in that first game. There's so many games out there and most of them are pretty easy to learn! It'd be like limiting yourself to one video game.

I think this is a very goofy opinion to have. People don't accidentally write a hundred pages of heavy crunch. If they had a "disdain for mechanics" or did not think the mechanics mattered, they would simply not have written them. Game designers do, in fact, design games. I'd say Starship...

Probably the bit where you start talking about the Great Replacement Except Happening To Gamers and very directly use the word "inclusivity" as a negative thing.

This too - stop staking your whole identity on corporate media, people. They were corporate when you were a kid, too.

Yes. Unambiguously, yes. The things previously referred to as "paraliterature" in works like Delaney's Shorter Views - that which was at the time decried by the mainstream as "not literature", such as pornography, comic books, and science fiction broadly are the predominant modes of culture...

We should go back to the much funnier debate over if it's unethical for a player to declare that other people exist, like the "I want to punch the nearest person in the bar" discussion.
