I still think it's possible that Vaniki brought in enough cash from the in-game shop relative to its costs that the low population isn't all that big a deal.

The Wikipedia entry estimates the licensing cost to get ET was, in the dollars of the day, over twenty million dollars.

I know as time has gone on we've made jokes about one year year or the other being godawful but 2023 needs to sit the fuck down.

The quality isn't the best but her heart is in the right place.

This was my first impression as well.

I see what you're saying. Yeah, fuck him. unrelated Pepe -

I've gained a lot of respect for Magicians after the last few TLPs I was on. I had the good fortune of playing with a couple that were really on the ball when it came to maximizing their dps and utility. If you're proactive/responsive on the malos, summoned junk, tank DS, etc. while punching...

It sort looks like she's tapping her own thigh? He might not have realized. If this is the book I'm thinking of it has sex position golems? It's possible more than one erotic d20 product got made and I'm confusing them.

Bards are great. There's room for one in every single group on every single raid.

Yeah, it really is the meta. If you're on any raid or in any group you're going to be expected to have a charm pet and manage it properly. Proper management requires some help so it can really grind on you if the tanks keep breaking mez, people kill the double shrunk thing with...

Damn it, where were you nerds when I was in high school. I too went the "grind until you don't get one-shot" route. I'm not sure if I had any tech at all.

Yeah, pretty much.

Pfft, you can farm that snake if you grind a little. I've played FF7 a number of times and I'm still not totally clear as to what the fuck is going on. Did one of the imperfect cell implanted things wreck that snake? Astral project telekinesis a tree through it's fucking face?

My hunch is Enfeeble for general mapping and Punishment for bosses.

He plays games well though.

Enchanters are S+ tier in Classic for sure. Some people get burned out from all the charming though. It's raid night, you're doing some dragons and sky, you charm an ice giant, you charm a fire giant and you go on to charm a pixie on top of all the buffing. Pull your pets back! Whose pet is...

The only thing to keep in mind with an Enchanter is that you will be expected to have and maintain a charm pet in every group and on every raid where there is something to charm. During Classic that's kind of everything with raid charming diminishing in necessity over time.

Also, I assume that's a dude.

They're solid if not terribly dynamic during the first few expansions.

It really is a mechanic for established characters. Trying to interact with it during the campaign sucked ass but once I had my shit together I came to really enjoy it. Getting tossed out of the fucking thing by flicker strike sword guy coming in hot from off screen can definitely make you feel...

There's no way a modern writing room is going to construct a scene in a twenty-two minute television sitcom involving a long, winding story propped up by the comedic timing of half a dozen cast members. One of the reasons the reboot of MST3K didn't work is everything felt so fucking rushed.

You're both crazy. Sounds kind of cool.

Twenty-two million (sixty-two million inflation adjusted) for ET on the Atari? Is that like 20 million for the license and 2 million on hookers and blow? edit - shit, actually yeah. Looking at the Wikipedia entry for the game it's like 20+ million in licensing. Goddamn.

There's no royalties in the new OGL which is why a few days ago Kickstarter was patting themselves on the back for negotiating down the 25% Hasbro wanted from projects over a certain figure to 20%. You'll still own your work which is why in the leaked draft we included See, it says you own...

I saw it as her refusing to give up her position even if things were coming to a close.

I assume people hate it?

Basically, yeah. I remember back when the OGL was first introduced back during 2000 and knew quite a few game designers at the time. No one was worried that if they launched a version of their system converted for d20 that WotC was going to deauthorize the existing OGL and implement a new one...

I'm waiting to see if the female writing staff they hired throw him under the bus.

K, saw it, rip's solid. It's fine. It's kind of stock but it also doesn't overstay it's welcome with the traditional 90 minute horror runtime. There's some good themes here regarding the modern career woman and children becoming addicted to devices. Megan herself is really solid. The director...

It's like joining a bowling league year after year even if you know it's going to be the all the same fat old drunks down at the lanes. EverQuest at least has elf booba and krono to go with the booze and repetition.

Canada bros is this true?

I suspect Vaniki, in terms of revenue, punched above it's player number for all those early months. People were buying a fucking mountain of shit from the Daybreak store to be/stay competitive. It very well might be regarded as enough of a success to continue experimenting with more event...

Some sort of bonus loot, random loot, bonus random loot, free trade, relaxed true-boxing kind of thing I'd expect. I don't know how many sweeteners they think they need to add in. Vaniki was fun for what it was but ain't no one gonna want to bind rush Avatar of War for an hour again. That...

Goddamn it it's always fucking May. May's gorgeous!

Whatever the hell this was https://www.everquest.com/news/miragul-progression-server-faq-2019 The Quarm challenge server started at I think Omens of War?

I think that one had no build up but yeah.

Hunter had substantial "you almost died" type blockages in his heart and Stephanie has been involved in the business for her entire life. I expect Steph to do some kind of philanthropic charity route. In Hunter's book he talks a lot about the local gym that got him started bodybuilding and the...

Blew my mind for a second as well.

Sounded crazy until I thought about it. I bet it checks every box Vince wanted plus lets him stay in charge because the Saudis give none fucks about whatever bitches he was paying.
