    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...

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The D&D thread

    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.

    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.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    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...

    The D&D thread

    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...

    To be perfectly frank, I didn't know Foundry had come quite that far. It looks quite good.

    No experience with any VTT but FGC and FGU, but I have looked at others and compared their functionality. It seems like FG has the most options and content integration, but with all of those features and under-the-hood automation comes a pretty steep learning curve with a considerable amount of...

    A few of us from FoH just started a brand new campaign on Fantasy Grounds Unity a few weeks ago (everyone is still level 1) and we have room for another. If you're interested, let me know or PM Seananigans for Discord access and we can talk about. We were playing on Thursdays, but given we plan...

    No single-weapon equivalent aside, GWM is a dumb feat. At my table, GWM is -PB to attack and 2x PB to damage. In other words, it's -2/+4 at low levels and -6/+12 at the top echelon.

    I'm sure there's an autist somewhere that has done exactly that with a spreadsheet, but generally speaking, no "DPS" isn't a thing. That said, min/maxing is still definitely common, but it's mostly ensuring that the benefits a character gets from ability scores, class, sub-class, race...

    Yep. I'm fully capable of building a system on my own, but the $150 premium it costs for someone else to deal with the headache is absolutely worth it. In my experience, it's only retard purists and poors that argue against pre-builts.

    I just started setting up Syrinscape for my Fantasy Grounds campaign and it's awesome, but wow....filtering through the massive library to find what you want is incredibly time-consuming. I also purchased a Voicemod license for those situations where you literally can't reproduce the sound of a...
