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

    Path of Exile

    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...

    Night Court

    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.

    The Callisto Protocol (Survival Horror)

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Although they stuck it under the OGL banner they're pretty sure their second edition of Pathfinder is legally distinct enough. I have to think they've been planning for this for about a decade after Pathfinder started drinking 4th edition's milkshake year after year. I still don't expect Hasbro...

    The original OGL is written in such a way that I have a hard time believing that Hasbro is trying to use an update to neuter the companies and products spawned from d20 and the SRD (basically the third edition rules with all the trademarks removed).

    Enchanters can turn in to everything, bestow illusion AA exists and a ton of store bought or otherwise premium illusions exist.

    In a completely unrelated topic I cannot see the Sanctum boss's Dance Dance Revolution red lightning for shit and I'm pretty salty about it. It's giving me Sirus flashbacks where I need to run an assfuck of maps to get another attempt. Maven though? Zero deaths every time.
