Kennon James…saw him at Gary Con and lamented I only had pdf handy for the game I played. I played a game and enjoyed it. The friar Tuck monk is cool…quarterstaff fighter who can do Gregorian chants to cancel charms… I bought it due to the cool ass art. Easley did the cover. I would pla...

Hell yeah! I had to buy a few prints while I was at it…game room acquisitions!

I don’t know where people find the time to play many different games. I am lucky to play anything with work and kids! We are not abandoning 2014 5e…still like it. But for a harsher vibe going to play some shadowdark. Really have had fun with it. What is interesting to me is that my kids see...

I called my wife from Gary Con to tell her I was having lunch with celebrities (I was eating lunch several tables over from vaugn….did not bother him of course). I did however get Easley to sign my unearthed arcana though!

I don’t know what to say that has not been said about AI. However I disagree with the main premise of the thread in this case. Art is a one time cost before publication. After that, you print what you have. If the lunch of a game is wrecked due to say 5000 dollars (just an example) then the...

It has been in waves…so we did not stick with a 1st edition of anything indefinitely but have skipped stuff along the way. We played Ad&D 1e through 2000 or so. Played 3e through 3.5 skipping it and playing 4e very briefly, effectively skipping it too. We play D&D 2014 now skipping 5.5. I...

I have played a lot of 5e. I find very specific skill systems breaks immersion for me. Splitting hairs about two closely related skills does little for me. I do like the more generalized approach in shadowdark I have just found. I am X background and when someone wants to do something X...

Watching the interview with Luke Gygax describing the meeting with WOTC sure makes it sound like a legit release… I am intrigued especially by comments about making it more challenging.

Epic…the dopamine that keeps us coming back

I had mine personalized! Not up for grabs :D But me gouging the cover an hour later is a good lesson. I covet treasure and it rusts! No, the treasure was playing and knowing already I can GM this in like a week. F-ing elegant and fun! We had a “guns of navarone” scenario. Get in, bomb the...

You don’t. I got it an was excited and then scraped the front cover with a minis case. as much fun as I had playing, it was still good for me to hear the comments about her design choices and clear understanding of the game’s pitfalls going back decades. She is not a fad—-she gets it. This...

So stoked…first I got to play for the first time. Secondly I bought the book and cursed scrolls. Lastly I went to a Q&A with Kelsie. I was blown away by the play. Fast, consequential…lean but flavorful. I had to admit my biases too. I admit to wondering what a younger designer would bring...

First game is in the tank… That was fun as hell…the gm was great so I wonder if it will always be that good…a blast…

Bought the book and a magazine…play tomorrow!

Looks like I will get to play at Gary Con in a few short days!

Had the same thought this AM. Will only due 3d6 psychic damage to me. I may as well dig in and prepare to work longer anyway.

Spot on—-curious less anout hopes and more about what to expect. I wondered if folks thought less crunch more story…but so far sounds like mostly more of the same. If it does stay the same I wonder if they will change flavor at all. I kind of lost hope for a bit rougher. I just don’t see...

I think a new edition of D&D is inevitable. As opposed to discussing that possibility I would ask: What do you think it will look like based on current trends? I am recently super interested in shadowdark…but have a feeling that is not the direction D&D will go. I have not looked at new...

I am laughing out loud! Hysterical!
