As much as I despise the 'message,' I ended up loving this episode. I had absolutely no idea that the gay relationship was brewing. In fact, while Bill was playing the piano I kept waiting for the 'stranger' to club him in the head from off-screen after Bill had showed the man so much...

I think my "EQ-like" statement is being misunderstood. It doesn't look like EQ, but the way the group is having to carefully navigate the heavily populated, quickly respawning area, behind a genuine tank, did. Certainly, that kind of gameplay isn't unique to EQ, but that's the vibe I got when...

That looks really good. It has a very EQ-like feel.

I'm ashamed that I haven't completed this yet given the fact that the only games that truly keep my interest anymore is this type (Iso-RPGs). I'm about to hit Act 4 and my 3 'Rogues' (my character, Greybor, and Woljif) are a fucking blender. The others are basically just buff bots for my hit...

I think it's hilarious that so many of the woke cult are taking issue with Hasbros morality clause with D&Ds OGL. They were 100% in support of it when it was used to crush anyone that wasn't preaching the 'message,' but now they're completely against it because they could be the next target...

I couldn't disagree more with liking another satirical/whimsical D&D movie. EVERY previous D&D-based movie has been like this and all of them have been absolutely terrible. I want a D&D movie with the same type of tone that the LotR trilogy had. Certainly, LotR had some moments of levity, but...

Skyrim never appealed to me either. I've tried on numerous occasions to play it, but I never get past 3 or 4 hours in. I even included a huge suite of the most popular mods and the game looked good, but the core of it just couldn't grab me. I can't put my finger on it, but the game just feels...

I'm still very interested in this game, but I've decided to wait until the Season Pass is completely fleshed out and the game matures for a year+. Hopefully, the dev team will include a few quality-of-life patches.

Vex is definitely not straight. In fact, her official CR Wiki has her listed as Bi and Keyleth is "Demisexual." The show is absolutely drenched in LGBTQ-LMNOP

If there are, they're extremely rare.

I watched the first three episodes last night and rolled my eyes a few times. It's a decent show and worth watching, but the 'message' is still present even if a bit more subtle. There's a mercenary group with a 'badass' in a tricked out combat-wheelchair. I don't think he said a word and was...

All the more reason for its developers to give WotC a giant middle-finger and refuse to sign it.

I see more and more products being produced with this goofy, infantile, Funko Pop'ish art direction and I hate it. What happened to:

I'm honestly not sure what started it, but I began playing PC games in the 80s and I remember that a lot of games in that period defaulted to the arrow keys. It's been years since I've played BD and I don't remember my setup, but I played a Wizard, exclusively. I remember that I had to do a...

I'm even worse. I use the direction keys for movement and surrounding keys (Numpad, DEL, END, etc.) for abilities. That muscle-memory is so ingrained that I literally cannot play a game that won't allow me to re-bind keys to the right side of the keyboard. Monster Hunter is one of the games...

I completely agree with the premise that any time a character/party engages in combat it should be dangerous. There are a lot of reasons for that, but one of the factors is that 5e takes the "resource drain" approach by throwing numerous mildly challenging encounters at the players before...

It sounds like you guys had a ton of fun and I envy you in some respect because I don't really enjoy the 'less-serious' type of D&D games and I wish I was able to. My preferred style of play is very reminiscent of Dragonlance: War of the Lance or the quest to destroy the One Ring where the...

Charts like that can add a lot of spice to a game, but I've personally never been a fan of critical failures. Especially the blooperish ones where it's like "oops, natural 1, you cut off your own face with an errant axe swing" queue the Benny Hill song. Just starting out at level 1, adventurers...

I've taken a break from rage today and announced this change for my players for our next campaign (after the current one comes to its conclusion in the Summer). I've made a significant number of adjustments to 5e and many of which are designed to make the game more difficult while also...

I knew without a shred of doubt that WotC was going to pull the "hate and discrimination" card as part of the justification for the new OGL, but it's nothing more than an empty excuse that the woke sycophants will see as misdirected good intentions. Anything that doesn't support the 'message' is...

I don't have a fundamental issue with WotC trying to create more revenue streams from one of their flagship products either but, as you pointed out, it's the way they're going about it and one of the most insidious ways they're fucking 3PP is by wanting to claim ownership of anything that is...

I commend Paizo for doing something, but I'm going to have to hold my nose and close my eyes to get in bed with them because they're more woke than WotC is. In PF2e, they went full-retard with pronouns, were first to abandon the 'sin' of "race," banned the words Golem and Phylactery for...

Several major players in the TTRPG space have vouched for the credibility of that statement. I, and many others, absolutely despise the growing number of blue-haired, limp-wristed, woke activists that are infecting RPGs, but at least their weaponized autism can be directed at WotC.

They're calling for people to cancel their D&D Beyond subscriptions.

No, and they won't until there is an official statement from WotC. Despite the fact that we know the leak is legitimate, it's still a leak and Paizo isn't going to publicly involve themselves with rumors.

I'd wager the CR cast is opposed to it, but I have absolutely no doubt that they would get their own sweetheart agreement with WotC where they'd pay very little, if anything, in royalties because they have a lot of influence with the new generation of players. I think WotC has at least enough...

I posted a bit of this in the Solasta thread, but it's more relevant here: With the huge amount of backlash that this is receiving I have a hard time believing that it will stand. Following through with the revocation of the OGL would go down in the Hall of Shame as one of the dumbest business...

While Solasta may have played a part in a small way, I genuinely believe that the dollar-chasing Hasbro (WotC) is pursuing with the changes to the OGL is primarily driven by their belief that the future of D&D is going to continually gravitate to most games being played online. That may be true...

This thread inspired me to take a trip down memory lane and I found some old posts at the Safehouse while I was working as the rogue class correspondent after we came up with the idea at the SOE Summit. The digital stroll brought back a lot of great memories and I was incredibly surprised at...

I doubt I'll ever play again because I hate the gear system so much that it makes it impossible for me to enjoy the game. Unlike some of the others, I'm incapable of being 'satisfied' with 90%. If it's possible, I'm going to chase it and in BDO it's as close to masochistic as you can get...

That story touched me a lot more than I expected it to. It might be that I empathize with how amazing EQ was. I won one of the rogue BotB's, but I don't have access to a single screenshot from my years of playing. I still have my account, but I've long forgotten my password. I wonder if I could...

This thread is a siren song that keeps trying to seduce me into playing again. I know how it'll turn out in the end, but there's definitely an element of the game that is incredibly alluring. I never played anything but Wizard seriously. Is the class still good?

Those are print-on-demand books from the DMsGuild and DrivethruRPG. The Ebay sellers are just buying those PoD books in bulk and marking them up. DMsGuild, etc are legitimately great sources for books that are out-of-print and have gotten obscenely expensive. They don't have everything...

Yep, it's just cover art. There's absolutely no difference between the books except the cover. People pay for rarity/exclusivity and these books had a relatively small print run that won't ever be reproduced. Normally, these kind of things don't interest me, but I understand it. People that...

I made a HUUUUUGE score last night when I was checking Miniaturemarket to see if a 3rd party D&D book had been released and I saw single copies of several of the out-of-print books in stock. The real prize was getting an alternate cover of Volo's Guide to Monsters for $37. That book easily sells...

If so, I'd love to revel in their hatred vicariously. Do you have any links to them talking shit about her? I hate that bitch so much that if I were to ever meet her, I wouldn't hesitate to tell her that she's a worthless cunt.

If you get good proxies the odds of you being 'discovered' are almost 0 assuming you never give anyone (judges, etc.) a reason to de-sleeve your deck.

I'm a huge fan of anything fantasy. So much so that I'll often continue to watch stuff that is objectively bad. I made it 35 minutes before I turned it off. This show is absolutely unwatchable trash.

I just started S1 E1 and it's ....ehhh. Also, I'm trying desperately trying to separate art from artist because I know how completely batshit fucking crazy several of the actors are. I absolutely despise Ashly Burch and fuck around with my phone during her scenes.

Yep, I completely agree. Learning to use FG is a lengthy, frustrating process, but once you get it figured out it works quite well. At this point, my only serious complaint is that lighting, and to a lesser degree, line of sight, causes a lot of lag on maps. There have been several moments...
