That is one topic that I will happily stay away from because it’s so radioactive right now.

We played a Greek-like if you squint themed campaign called Odyssey of the Dragonlords that had a standing mythological “law” that anyone who attacks someone while breaking bread in their home as broken the law of hospitality and committed an affront to the gods. That actually freed us up as PCs...

I feel this one. This was me and the Capt America has turned Hydra arc at Marvel, and it was just an ick storyline. Yes, I knew it would be undone. It was largely irrelevant, I was not enjoying the arc because thematically it undercut the core of the character and sadly, the writer was also...

Filing that one away for later, thankyouverymuch.

This is Flash Gordon for me. It’s the weird mix of really wooden bad acting by some (Sam Jones, Melody Anderson) combined with really good acting by folks like Max Von Sydow and Timothy Dalton, and I think it’s kind of the point. Flash is boring - it’s everyone around him that is strange and...

Oh wow, perfect aside - I have seen more people bounce off that game than most others and it’s for those same reasons.

Agreed. 9 times out of 10, what I considered to be obvious and simple to me was not so to the players. I’ve felt that over explanation and obvious clues fare far better and are more satisfactory to players than explaining the solution after the fact, even if the players realize they missed...

Love it when someone wears that particular opinion right on their sleeve - makes it so easy to ignore them without a look backwards.

That’s a great point. Combat in OSR (and possibly any game) can be approached as a puzzle, OR it can be approached mechanically - both are viable options.

D&D should include Festivus rules including Feats of Strength and wrestling and pinning the DM. 😁

For me, it has nothing to do with verisimilitude or historical accuracy, merely if the game uses light as a factor in play, where operating with or without light changes what your character can do or see. D&D does this - having a light source has advantages and drawbacks. If the game didn’t have...

I don’t think I would want a “serious” Red Sonja movie - this looks appropriately cheesy. This is also the kind of thing I’d watch on PlutoTV which I consider the streaming version of UHF.

Firefly powered lantern was the first thing that sprung to my mind. 😂

We’re an Apple household so AppleTV. I know, boring.

I know that MCDM’s community is pretty active in a number of places, Patreon and Twitch amongst them, and if you were ONLY accessing them in one place, you would be missing out on extra content. I’ve backed MCDM stuff before and outside of a printing snafu where they gave people stickers to...

Yeah, I have a very hard time with that example. Everything in my experience as a player - experience that’s not on the character sheet HA HA HA - would’ve told me to not step on the pressure plate, and definitely not eat the conveniently left out food. This also goes to underscore the argument...

I guess it’s just me but I still treat Kickstarter and BackerKit as something where I’m putting money upfront to fund a project and what I will get are the specific things listed in the tier level I backed, no more, no less. Not as an early access club.

Man, that was just a bad article.

Last update was a month ago and they stated there that July 17th was the anticipated PDF release date.
