    Some news posts don't work: Oops! We ran into some problems.

    It's a known issue, no fix for it unless the owner of this plugin fixes it: XF2 Ignore/Block Essentials | XenForo 2 Addon Which I doubt, as it seems to be a feature and not a bug.

    Vampire the Masquerade: Love the setting but not the system

    While I am tempted to say something similar. They say the don't like the game, but they do like the setting. So saying that they chose the wrong game seems redundant... As you mentioned Monte Cooks WoD, that might be the right path mechanics wise, but it's a different setting, re-imagined by...

    RPG Evolution: Why Paper Beats Pixels

    I do not agree. Physical books vs. digital is a preference. Preferences can impact people in small ways or in big ways. There all kinds of things that influence people that can impact how well they can read on a digital platform how their brains process the data, etc. A simple thing is that...

    Is "finding the right players" a solvable problem, or just luck?

    While that might seem to be the the most logical feature to want in a group, in my experience it isn't (just that). As @Deset Gled said, people change, while they can certainly over decades, they can also suddenly change due to experiences. What I find most important in players is a 'give and...

    Paizo Price of Paizo PDFs goes up in 10 days

    Normally... Yes! In Paizo's case, maybe not... Normally companies sell to distributors, which sells to stores. In the case of Paizo they sell directly, I don't know how much of a percentage of sales that actually is though. A new rule book costs $70 in print (new price), let's say that it...

    Paizo Price of Paizo PDFs goes up in 10 days

    3+ years and they are inflating the prices by 25%-50%, that's significantly outside of the inflation percentages in the US... The related costs also don't involve the tariff shenanigans... So I wonder if this is due their market share shrinking and/or their policy of the rules being 'free'...

    What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

    I think that from an illustrator perspective generative AI is not iterative enough (Sketches => final design), but generative AI was not made for illustrators, as there are too few to matter from an earnings perspective, and to stubborn to get a big adoption. As the AI generative market matures...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Campaign: Should I make the switch to 5.5?

    If they are interested enough to ask, discuss with the group. For us it was an upgrade, for your group the conclusion might be different.

    Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

    I was never a fan of the spandex neon colors that most things that the Green Latern(s) were part of. And I wonder how much I would have liked a similar TV series. But this seems interesting enough, might lay a good foundation for folks that have the same perspective on GL as me... I also was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Your CR limit for an average 1st level party?

    Our current party started as three 1st level characters (5.5e) and they won against two bugbears that housed an Intelect Devourer (Brain Puppy) each. Their synergy is amazing though and they had quite a bit of luck! The only reason they encountered that as a 1st level character is that they are...

    Why do so many campaigns never finish? Genuinely curious what others think

    I would like to differentiate between campaigns not completing and people leaving a group. We've had people leave the group in the past because they either: Didn't fit in with the rest of the group (had this happen with an old friend from school). They felt they were too 'adult' for it (moving...

    Humble Bundle Pros and Cons for the Publisher

    I got that bundle, with the FVTT Abomination Vaults module. That was very beneficial for both FVTT and Paizo. Bought quite a bit of FVTT stuff and Paizo stuff specifically due to that bundle. It showed off the paid FVTT module quality made by both FVTT and Paizo. I eventually spent a lot more...

    D&D 5E (2024) So What Is Winter's Mysterious D&D "Season of Champions"?

    I wonder if WotC at this point would even do another full Dark Sun book? Yes it's rumoured, but rumours also can be wrong. What if it's a collection of classes, variants that could be used in other settings, including Dark Sun. At this point, i wouldn't be mad about it. And would just use the...

    Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

    Am I the only one that's disappointed by the lack of a 'Curse of Strahd' anniversary edition? And to be honest, last year WotC did an update on Forgotten Realms and Eberron, this year apparently Ravenloft and maybe Dark Sun... If they do two setting updates per year, they'll be running out of...

    Poll: VTT Users - Do you prefer self-hosted or cloud-based VTTs?

    A better question would be, are you even in the market for a switch to a different VTT? And my answer is: Heck no! I'm already using Foundry VTT, and I would not see a reason to move to something else. While I do self-host FVTT (on a dedicated Raspberry Pi 24/7), it was more the option to...
