I just finished this earlier today and felt it was a good game. It's extremely obvious that it's a low-budget game, but I was legitimately impressed with what they were able to accomplish with such a small team and very little money to work with. The mechanics of the game are fantastic and...

Something interesting about mapping on VTTs is the recent implementation of lighting/line of sight and how punishing those features are going to be until players adapt. I know for a fact that, in many cases, lighting in dark areas and LoS gets hand waved, forgotten, or have their impact...

I don't think I can disagree with you.

For me, the thought of running combat without a map sounds terrible. Even in the late 80s when I started playing, we'd draw out the area on graph paper or on a dry erase board. I've never played in or run a game without maps, but I do see the possible benefits of using theater of the mind. With...

Super valuable site, but it's not even a fraction of a fraction of what The Trove is/was. To answer the question -- No, there's no replacement, but the Trove 'staff' say they're still working to get back up and running. There's a lot of rumors swirling about what happened, but I wouldn't put in...

A couple other people in their comment section also mentioned the similarties, but the Dungeon Dudes (creators) response to it was -- "there's nothing to it, any similarities are purely coincidental." Then, earlier today, they responded to my posts stating they have previously reached out to GW...

I don't even like GW (in fact, I think they're pretty scummy), but I emailed their legal department about the KS. I feel like a snitch, but this is just too blatant a theft of IP with absolutely no credit given to the source material. Had they done just the bare minimum and made a highly...

Eh...I didn't know any of that. Looks like I'll be roasting them and then withdrawing my pledge. I'd like to think that these guys played the PC game and got inspired to do a 5e re-skin, but the similarities are too ridiculous. I get cool ideas from existing IP all the time and sometimes change...

I got exposed to him through his node series way back and just watched his whole 'quit' video, but I'm not sure why because I haven't played BDO in years. A few months ago, I did log ib once to preserve my account, but I didn't actually do anything. Now that I think about it, I suspect I...

I've honestly never understood why WoTC ever bothered to listen to the competitive crew because spikes don't buy cards. With each set release they'll either trade with casuals or use store credit to pick up what they need. Spending money is a last resort and even then it's on singles, not...

That may be true to a certain degree, but the economy of MTGO makes it exceptionally easy to cash out and take very little loss. Bot price scrapers can even allow you to come out ahead if you have the patience to sell card by card. Before I gave up Magic entirely, I bought in and sold out of...

I just backed this immediately after it fired 25 minutes ago. I know this one is going to be great. I already use some of his ideas. That cover art is some lame weeb type shit, but the mechanics are solid.

Yep. If I ever move I plan to make my own. Unfortunately, when I was designing the house we built, I wasn't planning on running games of D&D at home so I don't have space for it. My man cave is awesome, but it's not a good fit for a gaming table. I don't even have a traditional dining room...

Yep. I haven't played Magic for 6 years, but I've been checking in on the FR set because I'm a massive D&D fan (fuck WoTC though) and the naming conventions really do suck. They're almost campy or like something you'd see in a starter set for a new player campaign. I'm not sure how to describe it.

Whatever happened to Soriak? I remember that dude being a goddamn savant when it came to discussions about economics or am I misremembering? It has been years since I've even thought about him.

Ya, my fault. I over-simplified my argument. I'm also a bit guilty of: "I know how this works, but goddamn I'm struggling to explain it to you." To add to my earlier post -- Eventually, the Fed is going to have to do something with interest rates. Money has been cheap for a very long time, but...

It's a little more difficult to encapsulate than a simple bulleted list because each contributing factor is extremely nuanced, but with a few simple searches you can easily find economists discussing it in far better language than I am capable of. However, I will say that hyper-inflation is a...

I'm not interested in anything but BTC. 250k is about 30% of my total assets so even if I lost my entire bankroll I wouldn't be completely crippled. Though it would be quite a dick-punch. As a few others in this thread have pointed out, we're in very dangerous waters and I genuinely believe...

lol rekt. I guess I have an addiction. You'd be shocked at how many gigs of TTRPG pdfs I have.

I believe you. They look fantastic even in pictures/video, but I'm way too frugal to buy one and my tabletop campaign just wrapped up after 19 months. I was going to run another campaign for them, but realized I wanted some new blood in my seats. Despite spending a 4-5 hours together every week...

I watch every episode of Wyrmlyfe, but I can't ever see myself purchasing one of their products. I completely understand that stuff crafted in the U.S. is considerably more expensive, but $7000+ for a gaming table and $100 for a set of 6 dice ain't for me, homey.

ya...

It could be. The way I see BTC is that it's standing on a knifes edge -- it's either going to blow up to insane values or completely crash and burn; falling back to its roots as a method to make purchases where other forms of payment aren't viable.

I listen to everything (except music) at 2x on YouTube.

Heh, some days I feel like an absolute fool that I'm not on the train yet and other days I couldn't be more thankful that I'm not. However, I KNOW we're in for some financial fuckery over the next few years. I genuinely don't believe the buy and hold strategy in traditional markets (which have...

Primarily, because I enjoy collecting hardbacks. Secondly, I'm hoping there might be some decent crafting rules to augment my own system. If there's 20 pages of usable information in the 300, I'll be ok with it. I incorporate a lot of homebrew rules, but a lot of the 'homebrew' is the result of...

I just backed both of these, despite the fact I think they're both going to suck. I genuinely think the first ones success is partly due to pathetic, thirsty beta neckbeards and the fact that 5e has absolute shit for official crafting rules. We'll see how much of Hamund's shit gets stolen. I...

Absolutely zero fucks given about those faggots. It's time to actually get a job instead of spending their weeks playing Modo/Arena while high on Adderall and whinging on Twitter about social injustice between matches. I hope they put their pronouns on their resumes and wonder why 99% of doors...

I haven't read a single page of this thread, but I plan to depending on the response I get to my question -- I have 250k in liquid assets (that's not my entire portfolio, just what I can move around easily) and I'm finally ready to make the leap in to BitCoin....am I retarded? I'm not...

There are a number of videos on Xptolevel3's channel that are entertaining, but I'd avoid his social media at all costs. It's stereotypical, Leftest mental-illness.

These are worth a play through. The base game is probably the worst of the three, but for ISO-RPG junkies they'll scratch the itch.

I did a little research and it looks like Luke has little-to-nothing to do with the new TSR. Ernie Gygax is heading it up, but I have very little knowledge of him so I can't comment on what that might mean. *Edit* I did a little more digging and it looks like Ernie is based. Maybe there's hope!

I would love to see the TSR of old rise from the ashes, but it's not going to happen because Luke is a massive SJW faggot. You don't have to take my word for it-- there are plenty of podcasts where Gygax jr. makes it crystal clear that he intends to include real-world social activism in his...

Fortunately, that's not the case. I found out yesterday the site will be back up. They're just doing some content updates and addressing a few leftover problems from when they swapped databases last year.

The Trove has been down for almost a week. I'm beginning to wonder if it's going to come back up.

I'd be interested in seeing it, if you'd be willing to share.

I think the last few pages has inspired a lot of behind-the-scenes conversation (I know it has in my circle) and you're not the only one seriously considering taking a stab at Foundry.

I love BG:3, but I completely agree that when the Early Access first launched it felt a lot like DoS with a D&D mod slapped on it. However, the sheer amount of feedback Larian is getting has been listened to and the game has begun to evolve. It's slowly 'becoming' more D&D-like and I have faith...

FG doesn't have any sound built-in right now, but it's on the short list. However, Syrinscape has a mod that allows you to run their entire sound library in conjunction with FGU. Apart from a few basic effects like rain, fog, snow, 'underwater blur,' and a couple others, animation doesn't...

This is a genuine question (seriously, zero patronization) -- Do you really feel Foundry is that much better than FG? If so, why? Does Foundry have the same level of rules automation as FG? With the right extensions, there's very little that isn't auto-calculated and applied. Though the...
