Meanwhile all I can see is Elminster in a mankini draped over the rollers of a slot machine showing results using beholders, mimics, and gold pieces. I envy you your visual as I do not want to see Elminster in a mankini but Borat burned that notion into a part of my brain that will not go away...

I'm just glad they don't own Mattel / Barbie or that movie a little bit ago would have come with an Only Fans page... But it's only a matter of time for Elminster to get his. :P

I've owned a Tesla Model 3 since 2018. Before we knew Musk was... problematic. It's paid off and worthless for resale now so I keep it. That said were I to replace it, I would only go for another EV, and despite opinions of the brand, I would only go for one that could use the Supercharger...

A lot of serial killers probably have better motivations... D&D PCs very often kill people to get paid or to steal the stuff of the people they kill. Trying to get a group of players in a fantasy RPG to do something just because it's the right thing to do, and to the minimize loss of life...

Bought the digital pack for Legend in the Mist https://sonofoak.com/products/legend-in-the-mist-all-digital-bundle Now I've been hovering over the same pack for one of their other games, Otherscape. Most of the week. I'll probably buy it today...

I agree. Not just D&D though. I don't like them or their equivalents in any tRPG. I'm fine with nature and spiritual forms of magic that circle around it. But anthropomorphizing it gets weird. Plus, people don't like it when I make this opinion (some folks get extremely mad about this view)...

The biggest flaw with a lot of fantasy pantheons is given that regular people also have super powers - you'd rightly see all those guys running around claiming to be divine beings as full of it. All they are is more powerful super heroes and villains than you. In any 'pantheon' where a mortal...

Fantasy was always Steampunk and often even had high SciFi. It was only D&D that wasn’t and that bled into other tRPGs and fed back into some post D&D “litRPG” fantasy. But we’ve always had rayguns, aliens, and robots in fantasy. Let alone steampunk. Terry Brook’s Shannara was originally...

For me the recommendations would be Foundry or Owlbear. Do you want a powerful engine you can heavily customize but might have to turn half of it off, but for which “there’s a mod for that” is the answer to most if your unmet needs? Or do you want a chat box, a pretty picture to set the mood...

Even years before Daggerheart came out I liked the idea of getting the players to describe what they see for me. Give a few mood triggers for a scene, then have them fill it out. I always struggled for ways to do the obvious without actually doing it - Daggerheart just suggests directly asking...

My biggest problem with Otherscape is that so far every game I have found running it is running Shadowrun setting using the Otherscape rules. ;) The game is "almost literally" Shadowrun with simpler rules. Probably a better setting too, since it hasn't retconned itself and I don't believe it's...

I'm almost wanting to say "nothing." Over the years it seems like every attempt eventually gets too complicated to run. In theory I think the best example I have seen is City of Mist - but I don't own it yet, I own another game in the same line: Legend in the Mist, so this is based on an...

Me too. But it is true that a LOT of DH players and GMs are coming from D&D and their idea of fantasy is whatever is in a WotC book, rather than literary or mythology based. So while that's the last thing I want, everyone else at many tables wants it first.

This. I did buy the Pathfinder 2E playtest - in print form in a local store. But charging for a playtest PDF. That's unethical. That alone might cause me to pass on M&M, and for a few years it was the main thing I ran and played. As for finances. If that's an issue - you use kickstarter...

"Skynet" has been here for about a decade. It's just a random set of memes instead of a hostile killer computer.

Lace and Steel. I barely remember the rules but recall they were interesting. However any game who's core ancestries includes Satyr needs to be more popular in my opinion. :) That it was one of 3, alongside human and "I forget", made it all the better. A tight core where each therefore had room...

Not on this forum but on some other software I was using in the last year the report and reply were side by side and so yeah... I hit the wrong one a few times. Thank goodness over here report is on the opposite side of the interface. :) EDIT: Right next to the edit button so the mods here can...

Do you want the genre to be action or the gameplay to be action/tactical. If you want deep story in an action genre - City of Mist (modern ley key with mystic powers) or Otherscape (Cyberpunk but where mythology from around the world is trying to creep into reality). So those are both 'magic...

See we would have thrown any kid that cheated at monopoly right out of the house. The first time I met anyone that figured the idea of doing that could be acceptable was around the year 2000 or so from the author of BESM on his then forum. Had never seen it in boardgames as a kid or after. I...

That said, I am very "let down" by the move to not use DH for their main show. As I've said elsewhere, we learned we're the sidechick. We always knew, but now it's just out there. It will take a lot of the steam out of DH's momentum to see that it's own publisher mainly focuses elsewhere, even...
