Long running anything are the outliers. Most things are interrupted by life. I have had the fortune of running both 2e & 3e games from 1st-20ish, and playing in a 1st-20th 5e game. Each took years IRL. The 3e game started with just the PHB and ended the week 4e books hit shelves. That's...

Heroes won. The campaign ended. Alternately You mean that really worked? Dnd 5e2014 pastiche of Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Princes of the Apocalypse, Courts of the Shadow Fey and probably other stuff

Its a fun puzzle on a forum and a way to add some hidden bits to a game book for the addicts, but unless its an unlicensed Professor Layton TTRPG, it should never be something a player has to learn for actual play.

What a Warframe is, is actually part of the story quests, so its a spoiler of sorts. The player characters start as semi-amnesiacs

I never got to play 7th Sea 1ed, but I loved the mechanics. Felt a bit like shadowrun-meets-deadlands.

Magic(+x and/or acid reistant) leather, studded leather or Hide armor, shields Dragon scale mail (specific item) Any items that grant acid resistance or cause acid damage, induce/resist fear, create darkness/see through darkness, summon insects or grants water breathing Magic (+x, acid damage...

Continual Flame is not actually fire, even in 2024.

I vote no. It is not "impossible" but it is foolish & impractical. 1) heat to your nether regions 2) lots of oil lamps leak, especially when shaken by walking, so flammable fuel on said nether region 3) a conveniently well lit target that if hit can coat your nether region in burning oil and...

Could say that the Animate Object spell as counts as necromancy when used on corpses. It gives 5-9 medium constructs for 1 minute in 5e2014 or 1-5 medium constructs in 5e2024. While playing a Bard, I have used it on corpses as they are objects. It's not an army per se, but it is a decent...

Tom Baker because he was my "first" Doctor. Peter Capaldi - Because he was a "mutant" doctor who eschewed the sonic screwdriver and asked "why am I like this?", while most Doctors accepted themselves fully without question. Lastly, the Missy / Bill / Clara /Me arcs could have been trash if...

That would be every RPG designer, artist, author, editor, map creator, mini sculptor, journalist, video game designers, programmers, and actors. Essentially everything ENWorld does or reports on. I personally would like to go back to 28 years of copyright but not only blowing up 8% of the...

Nope, not a lawyer and even if I was, copyright law is a notable crapshoot because by statute it is case-by-case and very non-deterministic. However a) I follow former copyright lawyer & Verge editor Nilay Patel who had a recent podcast on the subject and b) Alsop is a judge who learned how...

tI'm not ignoring it, I'm saying that is a different trial than this one. This judgement JUST says that you can train an LLM using books you buy. Hey look! You gave the quote saying that will be a separate trial! And not sure your "again" was directed at the right person since that was...

What this case does NOT cover is the USE of the database/LLM. This ruling is about a case where the AI company bought a huge number of books and then scanned them in a destructive manner. The books weren't resold so the company keeps their right to a copy of each book. Those books could be...

I leveraged the other oWoD materials. Some, like the Revenant/Crow, work really well. The black spiral dancer werewolves who can vanish into the spirit world are good long-term foes. Pentax, as either a cultist-run company or a mad Technomancer faction trying to force-evolve humanity...

I think Bond deal I dunno. Bond in a vaguely middle eastern region that controls some key resource as drone swarms flying around blowing things up and militia on horseback fire surface-to-surface missiles at cargo ships at the behest of oligarchs, billionairs, fascist despots and religious...

I listened to a BBC podcast on Ian Fleming. He was personally more M than Bond, never going on any field missions, but by the same token his team "30 Assult Unit" were much more Dirty Dozen than Bond. I think he called them the "Filthy Assault Unit" or something similar (along with several...

I ran MtA 1e back in the 90s. The 1e rules were a fascinating idea with a few dumb decisions. I'm pretty sure 2e and later fixed the "useless" sphere ranks. Plus, I really dislike the WW mechanics and prefer the Shadowrun mechanics it was based on. At a meta-plot level you had to take out...

For pure game world versimiltude, Expeditious Retreat Press's Mgical Medieval Society Western Europe. Part major factions, part village-level politics, mix in a stronghold builder system and some core economic concepts that help a GM have a more complete world. The Dragonlance Atlas was an...

Fun 5e fact: mitrhal and adamantine armors are not merely treasure or unusual materials, they are classified as "magic items" that are rarity "uncommon". By being a "magic item" they lose their properties while inside an Antimagic Field, meaning adamantine doesn't block criticals and mithral...
