Agreed. Fortunately, I already own literally 95% of 3/3.5 material in hard/softback.

I guess I'm guilty of being one of the NPCs because I buy every hardback that WoTC publishes for D&D because I'm a collector. However, I also pirate the absolute fuck out of D&D material; including a lot WoTC stuff. All that said, I'm getting incredibly close to completely turning off the...

Yep. Agreed. Even without WoTC, there's so much inspirational D&D material online that no DM or group could ever come close to exploring it all. Not to mention, decades worth of physical material. I love collecting D&D books but, to be frank, I've found both of WoTC's last two books, The Wild...

I'm genuinely and totally confounded by the fact that so many companies believe that walking, face-first, off the figurative cliff to appease the woke mob is the correct business decision. I play D&D weekly and will continue to do so for years to come but, at this point, a significant part of...

I bought Outriders for $10 on Epic and the game is an absolute steal for that price. My best friend and I have been playing it non-stop for the last 3 days. Yesterday we did a 12 hour marathon. I read that it had a rocky release, but now it's genuinely a great game. I haven't gotten to the...

Absolutely disgusting. Fortunately, even the morons on Reddit feel that this is a pointless overreaction. Heh, WotC gutting lore for "sensitivity" reasons and Paizo is literally no longer going to use the words "Golem" and "Phylactery" because they think "it might" offend Jews. Fuck all of...

Every time I see this shit it makes me want to vomit. I started playing Magic 5 or 6 months after it came out. I missed being able to actually buy Alpha and Beta packs because they were gone almost immediately, but I did manage to snag some packs of Unlimited and bought a fuckton of Revised...

I back a shitload of D&D projects so I honestly went to the page thinking I may offer support even if the product wasn't my speed, but I don't want any part of 'Wokesong.' Here's an excerpt from the campaign: "We’re not going to appropriate anyone’s cultures or experiences, so we couldn’t...

What? That was cringe as fuck. I have less than zero hope this series will be anything but a complete trainwreck.

Mmmhmm, the loser embraces the attention even if people openly despise him. Losing at being a loser is a serious blow to his warped ego because he won't have the title or avatar to parade around.

I backed this Kickstarter months ago. It had a relatively humble performance, only getting ~$50k in support, but I've been following the updates and it seems like an incredible campaign. They originally aimed for it to be ~300 pages, but it has blossomed to over 900 pages. I think it might be...

That's actually a good point. I never even considered that angle. I guess it eluded me because, despite the fact I 'qualify' as a nerd, I've never found myself wishing-to-be-like or identifying with any of the characters I'm a fan of. And SJWs have definitely poisoned the well in terms of...

Yep. I honestly don't know why characters like her are popular. Who is her fan base? Certainly not men. And I do mean, men. Not little limp-wristed, faggot cucks. Women/girls like Vi have less than zero appeal to masculine men. I just roll my eyes at the fight scenes. I know it's just more...

The art/animation are amazing and there are numerous scenes that truly capture the emotional element, but I am so fucking tired of the 'edgy,' lesbian, strong-wahman characters. They disgust me and Vi isn't an exception.

I don't know squat about the lore but, in this show, The Dragon was never going to be anything but a sheboon.

I just finished episode 3 and I to have to agree.

I've been out of the country so I finally just caught the first episode during a layover. I never read the books so I don't have that basis to be disappointed. Despite that, it's still not great. The first episode definitely has elements of the SJW woke cult, but it's not shoved down my throat...

I can see staging as an issue for some folks, but I've almost always played at my house so I don't have to deal with a lack of room or dirty space. Fortunately, I've never had anyone mess my house up during a session. Though, I have had a million spilled drinks. A few of which have ruined a few...

Jesus Christ, yes. The hardest part of playing D&D is finding a group of people that get along, aren't idiots, and show up every week. As a DM, it's relatively easy to fill up a group, but I find filtering through the trash/flaky people to create a stable group, incredibly exhausting...

I've got a full play set of Revised in great condition (and another $30-40k in great Modern/Legacy playables). I can't provide pictures right now because I'm in Mexico with the wife but I'll be back in the States at the end of the week.

I know they're beloved games, but I've never played any of the Dark Souls-type games. Although the aesthetics of them are great. The gameplay of bashing your head against an encounter until you figure out the proper sequence for victory, just doesn't appeal to me. Maybe, I'm not giving the...

Pretty much this. The timeline for the campaign I'm running now is 1495 DR, which is current for 5e content. However, I don't really think it makes a bit of difference to my players. None of them are particularly familiar (or likely care) about the year/era. It's mostly for my enjoyment of the...

It depends on what it is. Some of the old content isn't nearly as valuable as I would have expected it to be, but you're correct that some of the old stuff is quite valuable. The condition, like most collectibles, is extremely important. As is the print run. 1st print runs are worth A LOT. I...

I know there was a bit of interest about this, so here's a reminder that it closes in a few hours. I backed with two separate accounts (for a total of $650, 120 sets) to get two sets of stretch goals. There were a couple of sets unlocked through polling that made me salty (baby monsters...

I tried playing DoS 2 co-op with my best friend I and gave up after two nights. The game is already incredibly long, but adding the co-op element easily makes the game twice (if not more) as long. I simply have way too many games in my backlog to devote 250+ hours to a single game so I went on...

I didn't want to Google it for fear of spoilers, but I did look a little bit and I think you're right. Him leaving is part of his arc, but he'll be back. It makes me feel better because I was leaning heavily on him for damage.

So, I'm finally able to get back to playing this. I just hit level 8 and got tasked with going after the Giants slinging alchemy-bombs, but I seem to have lost access to Woljif. Is that a normal, unavoidable situation? I feel I missed something.

I didn't notice anything, at least not relating to modern politics and I'm hyper-sensitive to woke, political trash. It's a great game.

I almost completely forgot about these two games. I never finished Arcanum, but I did complete ToEE. However, it was hot garbage for years until the mod community fixed it. Circle of 8, I think they were called. They really turned ToEE around and made it a great game.

Not a clue. I'm not a min/max'er. I've never looked up a build guide for a single one of these games. I played a Rogue for Deadfire and had a great time, but I really can't help you with some kind of game-breaking character. It's just not my thing. And honestly, I doubt it'd have that much...

The Monk class has never appealed to me, but for PoE 1, I went out on a limb and played one because their take on Monk with a mechanic based on taking damage/wounds was interesting. I had absolutely no problems finishing the game with that character.

It's been a long time since I've played DoS II, but IIRC, that's roughly the level I was when I left the first map. I know I wasn't higher than 9. Also, there isn't a level cap. My characters were level 23 and 24 when I finished it, but I did absolutely everything I could find. However, it's...

It opens after a certain point in the game. It's fairly early on (maybe 10-15 hours into the game), but it's not available until after you leave the first map. There's a mirror on the boat that allows you to, basically, re-work an entire character.

Agreed. I found Tides of Numenera to be extremely difficult to get through. It's the only Iso-RPG I've played that I couldn't wait to be finished with. I didn't back it, but I followed the Kickstarter campaign and when it was finally released it was such a disappointment because it was promoted...

I don't really know which game I'd recommend based on difficulty, but what I will tell you is that if you play modern Iso-RPGs first, you're going to find it very, very difficult to go back and enjoy absolute classics like BG I/II, Torment, and Fallout I/II. Those games are absolutely amazing...

That sounds really fun. Everyone getting together every couple of months for a few hours of high-level, episodic adventure would be a blast. Only being responsible for one game every 8 weeks would allow me to craft some really amazing sessions. I'm not an incredibly expressive person, but for...

That's a totally different dynamic than my groups, but I also try to foster a fairly complex environment. Playing online really let's you go crazy with certain aspects of the game. I started running games on Fantasy Grounds 5-6 months ago and it allows you to easily do a lot stuff that is much...

I don't have a clue what the framing, narrative, or theme is at your table so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. Also, my comments may be self-evident or completely irrelevant for you and your players. For Epic (level 21+ characters) that, inevitably, spend a lot of time...

lol Yep. At that point it's the Wild West and the DM is just trying to hold on tight enough to keep from being bucked off completely. However, I've had a couple of campaigns (one in particular) where the group had a really massive shift in focus. Almost to the point they were playing a...

Come on, now.
