    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I needed a new PC so I didn't have to sell anything, but it does suck for those that just want a card. Fortunately, a lot of the boutiques use off-the-shelf parts so you're not stuck with a bunch of hard-to-sell proprietary parts. I know pre-built boutiques get a bad rap, but I've purchased 3...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    This thread makes me feel like a genius for buying a pre-built system with a TUF 3080 in it for $1900 in January.

    Does anyone have a Hardback copy of Matt Colville's Strongholds and Followers you'd sell to me? There's going to be another print run in the future, but I have no idea when and really don't care to wait. If you do have a copy, I'd pay a bit more than the cover price.

    WTF are you talking about? We need more of this -- Into the Mother Lands RPG. Truly a shame that comments are turned off; I wanted to offer my support. "A Brighter, Blacker Future." Anything that involves Tanya DePass should be nuked from orbit and then the remains shot back in to Space.

    Ya, I suppose everyone has their own preferences because environmental challenges can be a lot of fun. The way you describe them they sound incredibly tedious, but in practice that's not the way they play out. I've used them for a long time which is partly why the book appealed to me. However...

    Yep, the only reason Drizzt (and to a lesser degree, his father, Zaknafein) was interesting is the fact that he broke away from a fundamentally evil, masochistic, hedonistic society because it didn't align with his own morality. He also knew that exiling himself was very likely a death sentence...

    Shit like that is already all over stuff from some 3rd party publishers. The Uncaged series of adventures has trigger warnings for about 20 types of 'disturbing' content in each adventure outline. That series is also absolutely crammed with 3rd wave Feminism cancer. Can't say I'm surprised...

    This Summer, the Drow are going to have their lore 'expanded' (retconned) so that they're not an evil race. There's massive settlements of 'good' Drow in the extreme North/South of Faerun that are so remote that almost no-one has had contact with them. /rolleyes. The dozens of books...

    I do, in fact, have that supplement. You'll be happy to know that the battle wheelchair even has an option for a piston-driven dildo in the seat that performs an amazing 20 revolutions with every foot traveled.

    3.5 was fantastic, but it eventually just became a massive algebra equation and died under its own weight. 4th, as most agree, was garbage because it tried mirror the PC MMORPG experience. 5e is pretty damn good (apart from the continual infection of wokeism) because the barrier of entry is...

    I've been on a Kickstarter backing spree over the last few weeks and this morning I decided to familiarize myself with some of the authors I hadn't heard of....I wish I hadn't. I, obviously, know that D&D authors overwhelmingly lean Left, but I was caught completely off-guard by the sheer...

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    I play every iso-rpg that I can get my hands on and when I tried the beta for Solasta, I really enjoyed it. It's a fantastic game given how tiny the dev team is. I'll be buying it on day 1.

    Fantasy Grounds Unity Campaign

    @Amod , this is a cross-post from the tabletop forum, but I don't think the D&D thread gets enough traffic and technically FGU is a PC game. However, I completely understand if this post gets nuked. To the post: In a month or so I'm going to start a new 5E campaign using Fantasy Grounds Unity...

    In a month or so I'm going to start a new 5E campaign using Fantasy Grounds Unity so I'm looking for 1-2 additional players (for a total of 4-5). Here's the rough outline and requirements: 1. Attendance. We'll play once a week for 3.5 to 4.5 hours. The specific day will be decided by the group...

    Had mine a few days and they're intended to be sprinkled in or run individually. You might be able to string them together but it'd take a lot of work and still it'd feel contrived. Not to mention, I'd balk at playing Medieval Scooby-Doo for a year straight.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I don't agree with that sentiment. I fully believe that Larian truly wants to create a fantastic 5E game. They're investing plenty of resources into doing so. However, after playing the demo for ~50 hours, I feel it's lacking something that really captures the essence of the first two games...

    Black Desert

    I've been monitoring this thread against my better judgment and I've finally cracked; I'm going to DL the game again and check out my Wizard. I think I'm level 58 or 59, but I haven't played the game since the Summer of '15 or '16.

    This. I think about this game every six months or so, but I can't bring myself to reinstall it despite having a tremendous amount of fun for a few months before the enjoyment fell off a cliff.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I had an entirely different experience. The game didn't get easier for me, but I've never played Pathfinder. Despite that, I never looked up a build or investigated what I should/shouldn't prioritize. I extrapolated my 30 years of D&D experience and managed to get by. I probably made the game...

    My Skinny Minis arrived today (delayed by the storm) and they're even better looking in person. I definitely recommend them. I spent nearly $1000 on my first order and I'm probably going back to the well for another couple hundred.

    Ya. They're very similar to the Pathfinder Pawns, but..better. Front/back art, much more sturdy, clear background, the die cut hugs the outline of the art. I should have mine in hand by Saturday.

    You could get them with some mail-order service called Dungeon in a Box (or something similar), but never by themselves. I have a ridiculous collection of D&D books, but minis is something I could never bring myself to buy unpainted and I know I won't paint them. Nor will I pay the premium for...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Agreed. Mechanically, I loved DoS: II. And, despite finishing the game, I found much of the story terrible. Obviously, some of the game was really dark, but the slapstick comedy and whimsical tone just aren't for me. DoS: II with a much grittier story (and art direction) with a PF or 5E...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    That's where I bought mine and ya, it didn't give me a choice. It just said "3080, pre-order." The one I just bought is actually the 3rd system I've purchased from them. I've had absolutely zero complaints. Certainly, you can (usually) build a system for a couple hundred bucks cheaper if you...

    My pre-built system arrived yesterday, but I had no idea what 3080 was going to be in it. It ended up being a TUF gaming. Those are actually really good cards and run very cool. Satisfied.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I think it was PlayStation for me, but I played both I and II and enjoyed them. Though they were a bit too arcade-like for my tastes. I'm not a gaming snob, but I definitely know what I like. BG:II, Torment, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, PoE II, DoS II, and even Wasteland II/III are pinnacle gaming...
