I love everything about this game and want to back it at the highest level, but just don't see how they're going to avoid lawsuits from Nintendo after looking at the previews. I think I'm going to wait this one out till the physical release.

If you have it, the C&C Castle Keeper's Guide has a whole section dedicated to this. It's the last one of the book!

Which podcast? Can you link it? TMNT was the first TTRPG my friends and I played regularly and would love to listen for the nostalgic feels.

Been reading the Reddit threads about it, and the leading theories over there are: 1) It is silly, the hive mind are a bit confused here. 2) The plant is not ready to give the fruit until it naturally releases; any sooner would be stealing it. Btw, fun fact: my X-sister-in-law was the...

Knew it was people too (and why), but they did get me by deflating it's importance right away! Love the show and usually don't mind slow pacing, but this one is certainly taking it's time... 😖

Hopefully this gets resolved soon though. Just dropped $120 on Draw Steel and was really looking forward to gushing about it on in the General thread!

Cool to @Gus L in the credits too!

That was my first thought: "How could I retool these mechanics as "seasoning" for upcoming adventurers I want to run...?"

@Staffan @AdmundfortGeographer Thanks for the info. I went to get the adventure, but ended up buying everything. The price point of each individual item is pretty steep, but $125 for all physical + PDF is more reasonable (and would recommend for anyone looking to get into this game). Can't...

Thanks, I think I'll dip my toes by getting the starter adventure and see how it plays since it's only $10 right now. One other question though, for classes, I see they have the Summoner class being sold for $15 (ouch). Is this the standard model going forward or is there a plan to release...

One of the ways I made 4E more fun was to level each session (8 hours for us). How long does it take to advance level in Draw Steel?

What I'm listening to now: Save or Die - OSR Focus. One of the last episodes was interviewing the guy who invented the Thief class - really cool! Grogtalk - More OSR. Fear the Boot - Looks like they have taken this year off, but still have over 600 episodes of general TTRPG discussion to dig...

I feel like that was everyone's shtick in the early internet days. Angry Jo, Angry NES Nerd, Angry, angry, angry... My guess is it's an easy way to boost engagement, seem confident, and have a comedic writing angle? But yeah... pretty lame IMO. I'll put up with it as long as there's something...

Oh, the Click Rule! I forgot about that. Not sure who brought it up here, but I think it comes from Angry DM. I'll add a link since it's also pretty relevant to the discussion: https://theangrygm.com/traps-suck/

Traps are certainly more fun when there is a "tell", especially if they have deadly consequences. Sure, the Thief gets a die roll to really point that tell out, but everyone should have the chance to point out that something doesn't seem right. Not only does it boost engagement of your wonderful...

Just watched the entire video myself and was really moved by it. Mandatory viewing for anyone online and a part of the hobby IMO. I've been reflecting on the mistakes I've made online over the years and also the reasons I've left other communities and it all seems to jive with Matt's...

This is so good. Thanks for sharing.

I really like that idea of Karma/Honor because I like to award bravery. Everything to heavy-handed Hackmaster where high Honor will get you discounts when purchasing items and bonuses in combat because your opponent can sense your importance; to the more subtle ACKS and Dragonslayer, where dying...

@Keldryn Thanks so much for the in depth write-up, especially since I use Wizkids miniatures. I've been kicking around the idea of using one 1" Chessex mat at a 10' scale, using one miniature for the party as they move around the dungeon, then another 1.5" mat at 5' scale for combats where we...

I did!: Doesn't really work that way, unfortunately. I recommend "Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t". It's helped me set realistic expectations.
