My advice is to remember, and remind everyone, that it is much deadlier than later editions. If players are coming from 5e, it can be a bit of a shock. I lost 2 PCs in 3 sessions when my friends and I started playing. I do love it though, currently running dolmenwood for friends and we're all...

Watched this last night, I thought it was a fun movie. I loved how he use what he learned about the planet to take on the baddies.

I'm incredibly bad at organically integrating new PCs into a group so I tend to pretty much make them appear as well, sometimes just replacing NPCs with their new character or otherwise just going "This is Dave, he's part of the adventuring party now".

In one group I still ran if a single person was absent, maybe it was even if two were absent. If we got to 3 we would look at rescheduling. I think it was about 6 players in that group. With other groups, we've never had a set day/time to play so normally we'd try sorting out the next session...

I've been reading some Conan comics, the dark horse volumes as well as going back and reading some of the old marvel savage tales comics. It was interesting to read some of the letters or editorials in those magazines as I've known for sometime that Red Sonja was a creation for marvel comics not...

I've always meant to watch this, it looks like one of those fun over the top movies where you watch it for a bit of fun rather than an in depth plot.

I do the same with art and like to use it as a reference for my players to actually show them where they are or what they're encountering.

I'd love to play a pulp action game, It'd let me run games like it's the mummy/mummy returns or Indiana Jones or like books written by Jules Verne or Henry Rider Haggard or even the disney cartoon Talespin. Now I'd probably run it in savage worlds, but I remember back in the day wanting to use...

I bought a tablet primarily due to my shite eyesight and wanting something more portable than my PC to read PDFs when compared to my phone (which I still use but am constantly zooming and unzooming documents). I think large print options would be a good idea, when I have a book in front of me...

I don't think anyone I've ever played with even knows about enworld. There're a few on the boards I think would be cool to game with but far more I would definitely not want to play with when I consider past threads that have talked about play style and how they run games.

If that's how it comes across then that's how it comes across. Like when someone uses the term AI slop, it comes across to me as them parroting the anti-AI buzzwords because they feel like they shouldn't like AI. if they instead say something like "I have concerns over AI, and here's why..." I'm...

Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe if we had more positive news stories about how it has helped astrophysics/astronomy by analysing the vast amounts of data to find more phenomena in space, or about how it is used to help in medicine we'd have people with a more balanced view of it. I think part of...

Yeah, some people are just so anti-AI that they can't see its good uses. A lot of the people who complain about it are just a little bit too extreme or overzealous and I get that there are concerns, such as deepfakes, but a lot of the hate comes across to me as insincere.

Which is what an AI can do, in fact I'd say that is a great use for it.

A decent word processor should be able to pick up on grammatical mistakes, though I've found some are better than others. I wouldn't have thought that a word processor would be able to pick up that the author called Mr Johnson Mr Smith at one point in the writing or be able to say that you only...
