Too fun not to share! Questing Beast quizzes Mike Mearls, Seth Skorkowsky, and Kelsey Dionne on their D&D edition knowledge. I had a blast playing along (even though I wasn't scoring nearly as well, haha).

I love Interface Zero and would certainly recommend. As for edition, 3.0 is finally out (PDF), but really hasn't captured my interest (still feels like it's in Beta stage), but can vouch 2.0 is solid and fun. Also, worth mentioning Cities Without Number too!

@Dannyalcatraz I love my cast iron, but I've never been confident in my seasoning. It's smooth and I've never have any horrendous accidents, but food residue still sticks to it when I cook. Is that normal? I've found my wok to be much easier to clean and keep in "cooking shape".

So excited for this! Glad to see Jonathan Tweet is back designing again too.

Also, don't know about others, but considering my book had an updated UPC code slapped over the old one, there must have been a last minute price increase?

I was a bit taken back too, but realized that was mostly to me just not fully adjusting to how terrible inflation (US) has been. Had to remind myself the last large pizza and two orders of breadsticks ran me $60, around the same price as what this book is offered on online. (y)

@DarkCrisis Have you heard of Forbidden Lands? I've never seen a game quite like it when it comes to sandbox play. The major locations, NPCs (and their goals), and rare artifacts are pre-defined thanks to the campaign setting being baked into the rules. For less-important locations (towns...

Aside from making the campaign feel more like an open world, I run my OSR games this way because mechanically it allows players to decide on the "difficulty". A Lv 5 group storming a Lv 1 dungeon is nice change of pace from time to time. Mostly for me though, his style of play is especially...

Not VR and pretty sure it will look similar to the first one, which had a normal field of view. Most PC games have a slider to set it to preference though.

I think his reasoning was the "snap" would be a soft-reset to give others the chance to live more sustainably. If in a hundred years they failed again, he'd just snap again (or double-snap to be extra punishing). Of course, not sure how the rest of the universe would know what was going on...

@Gus L Thanks for sharing. I collected OSR material as I saw it in bookstores, but was never part of the community during those early days. I don't think it was until C&C and Lamentations that I started to follow the creators themselves and join in discussions with other fans. Specifically...

Too cool! Agree. I still like OSE for fun, sporadic, whimsical type of fantasy crawls, but wasn't really grabbing me for serious, long-term campaign play. If you do end up running Dragonslayer, would love to hear how it went. Not sure if mine is going to get to hit the table any time soon.

I was considering the Remaster to be my "off-ramp", but my players have been liking Pathfinder so much and were excited about the changes being made, so I guess I'm still in. Having a hard time adjusting to all the name changes though.

So, did anyone pick the World book up? I was surprised to see it was $80!!! Still picked it up though because the art and writing is so good.

Reminds me of the time I was arguing with a friend at a small Hawaiian joint if hanging out with my x-wife was "okay". Our server couldn't help putting in her two cents and then the other patrons started to weigh in as well. Good loud back and forth with strangers for a solid 30 minutes. Only...

Like others have said, I think it's just a matter of getting different teams with different time frames. I remember Paizo being less than thrilled about their Adventure Path material being released just after the last book was being published (6 of 6). They've since fixed that, but goes to show...

So excited! I loved the first game and have been dying to continue Henry's storyline. Read this one is suppose to be twice as big too! Curious to other's thoughts and feelings about the first game and who else is excited about this announcement!

OSR usually means it's compatible with early D&D, but some might use it more liberally to describe games with the same philosophy and/or tone as early D&D. For instance, I have no issue calling Castles & Crusades and Shadowdark OSR games despite some major differences. No idea. Honestly, I...
