Yeah, the main potential savings in going digital would be cutting out one or two middle-men between the publisher and the final customer. The usual route for physical goods is publisher to distributor to retailer to customer, while for digital it's publisher to digital storefront to customer...

This bit reminds me a little of Earthdawn. In Earthdawn you spend Legend Points (basically XP) to improve your Talents and to a limited degree your attributes and when you've done enough of that you can qualify to advance to a new Circle. Doing so gives you access to new Talents, higher...

That appears to be the exception. As an example, neither Pinnacle nor Onyx Path does that. Heck, even Paizo doesn't do that.

It also really sucks for customers who live on this side of the Pond when things aren't in distribution, because of transatlantic shipping and stuff.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

But wouldn't GenCon management object to throwing rotten eggs on the convention floor?

In 4e, an Exterminator (top level in the Rat Catcher career) gets to upgrade that to a Large and Vicious Dog.

I think the version in MYZ itself is great and very well-suited to that game with its theme of decay – pushing yourself runs a pretty strong risk of inflicting damage on yourself and/or your gear, but it's a gamble and you see the results right away. I think it works less well in Coriolis, where...

Having all labor that today is done by humans done by machines instead is highly unrealistic. There are too many jobs that need actual humans doing stuff. But there's certainly some labor that could be done by machines instead, thereby freeing up humans to do other things. Exactly how much, I do...

I still mostly believe the same things as I did back then, but my priorities have shifted. And I think I might already be pushing the limit on politics here, so I'll leave it at that.

Look dude, I used to be a member of the Swedish Pirate Party back when we had MEPs, but even we never argued for the complete abolition of copyright, only lowering its duration to something reasonable, a wider definition of fair use, and not prioritizing copyright enforcement over all other...

I might have to look into that. Right now I'm focusing more on Savage Worlds, but it's good that there are options. I'm mostly coming at this from how things work in 1e, and while the rules are a bit fuzzy on the topic they certainly do imply that you need the trappings of a career to actually...

So they didn't have all that much information? That's all?

1e (and I suppose 2e) had several careers that formed natural paths, like Seaman to Mate/Navigator to Captain. In many cases you'd start with one basic career and then move into another basic career that offered this kind of progression (Pedlar to Trader to Merchant). My impression of 4e is that...

I played some WFRP 1e with some old and new friends yesterday, and after the game we were discussing the game's virtues and flaws, as well as various classic campaigns, and I realized a thing: WFRP is singularly unsuited for mega-campaigns like The Enemy Within. The reason is the advancement...

Thing is, the Technocracy doesn't want cool stuff. They want safe, useful, and boring stuff. The Technocracy doesn't want flying cars, they want cars that get half an MPG more. They don't want a world with free exchange of ideas, they want a world where propaganda makes everyone believe the same...

OG Dragon Magic was fairly similar to mentalism, yes (and the 80s Magic box had Mentalism as one of the schools descended from dragon magic – I believe the others were Illusionism and Symbolism, but I'm not 100%). You needed to speak Draconic fluently to be able to learn it, and unlike other...

Oh, and there's of course this gem:
