    Tell us about something good that you got recently

    Call me petty if you want. I guess if feeling that my broadside of "haters" includes you personally, it's a fair riposte. I've read many negative reviews. I watched the video posted earlier. Literally NONE of the criticisms felt like they were complete condemnations. I genuinely don't get it. I...

    Romance… without awkwardness

    After playing some video games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve had a yearning to tell romantic stories in RPGs. But it’s hella awkward. I know plenty of people who enjoy this side of fiction, and write about it, but at the table? I’m a sucker for this sort of thing, but I don’t...

    Tell us about something good that you got recently

    Every review or opinion I’ve read, here or elsewhere (especially Reddit) called this game utterly disappointing at best, utter crap at worst. Upon my read through of it, I found no glaring issues (yet to see play it more than once to really test it out). When the hobby unanimously says “wanna...

    Tell us about something good that you got recently

    General concensus in RPG hobby circles tends to be "dissapointed", "okay, but we went back to 2020 instead' to "this game is utter shit". Shrug. It doesnt' seem all that bad to me.

    Assassin's Creed Tabletop RPG

    Those are some sweet minis. I'd buy those seperately. Couldn't care less about the franchise, or this game though.

    Abandon Google Chrome

    I also use Edge, but since it is now a Chromium browser, will it be impacted by these new practices?

    Oh that's perfect. I can't really focus on more than that in terms of scope. Even there, odds are I'd get overwhelmed, LOL.

    I wonder if Cities without Number would be a good generic "Cyberpunk" world-building toolkit (as Crawford's other genre books are). SWN got used a lot for my sci-fi games. My game of choice is Cyberpunk Red, despite the haters.

    Agreed on all fronts. I’ve merged my favorite bits with Old School Essentials. It’s been beautiful.

    So.... Baldur's Gate 3

    I certainly hope that approval ratings can mean more than romantic interest. Platonic love is a THING. Laezel can still be a fierce friend, can’t she?

    So.... Baldur's Gate 3

    Yeah that sort of thing pissed me off too. Breaking up with a character is always pretty mean-spirited. Holy crap it has to be so fucking dramatic. My character has 18 charisma! Trained in persuasion and deception! Why would he break up with someone like “fuck you, you disgust me, piss off”?!

    So.... Baldur's Gate 3

    Can't believe that I'm saying this... but BG3 has made me want to play D&D again. Which is ridiculous. With some house rules, and a slight reduction in the setting's trivial ubiquitous availability of magic items, it could be good. Er... with the right players too.

    The Star Wars Thread

    I’m just bored of Jedi stuff now. I appreciate the drama around Obi Wan and Anakin, but I never bothered with the Clone Wars so I have no interest or investment in any of the newer characters. Glad that Ashoka exists, but I don’t really care. I was unimpressed as a teen with the books about...

    So.... Baldur's Gate 3

    Oof got to the point when I had to choose between Laezel and Shadowheart. Both of their reactions were surprisingly heartbreaking. well done, Larian. You made me feel sorry for imaginary characters.

    What's the one game in your collection nobody else seems to own and you can never get anyone to play?

    Trying to find a group to play Carbon Grey has been a challenge, I’ll say that much. Definitely considering tweaking the setting to be “Diesel Punk meets Lovecraft” might get some better traction.

    The Video Game Thread: What are you Playing?

    So Starfield looks good but I’m currently busy with Baldur’s Gate 3 and then with the Cyberpunk update. As with other Bethesda games, I’ll wait until there are some solid mods out there and a slight discount. I actually broke my rule and paid full price for BG3 because of the positive reviews...

    An audio choose your own adventure by the BG3 narrator

    I used to read the original book to my kids. A cute gimmick, although some of the rhymes had odd rhythms.

    So intead of the typical advancement table, which lists what a character gets (pre-set in stone and in a certain order), you instead roll 2d6 whenever you level up and check out what advancement you get. Randomised. As a Fighter, you could get stat boosts, weapon specialties, special maneuvers...

    I particularly like the improvements table during levelling up. 2d6, nice curve. I actually added that to OSE for the kids (to give them SOMETHING besides +1 HD). Much more fun that way.

    Am I doing my players a disservice by not doing voices?

    I tend to cringe when DMs do funny voices or acccents. Even worse when they appear to be having a little TOO much fun doing bad scottish or irish accents. So, naturally, I assume that everyone cringes at ME when I do this, so I don't. Instead, I try to describe HOW they talk. Narratively, I mean.
