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.

From poking around, looks like she's the one that got it across the finish line.

Going to be a hard sell in this oversaturated market for sure. If anyone picks this up, I hope they go in some detail what sets it apart from the others.

Anyone read through it yet? I had issues downloading, so waited till now, but now I'm hesitant. Feedback doesn't look too positive on the subreddit and the original core is selling for double on eBay. Not giving me a whole lot of confidence that I need to switch over...

My guess is to make them more likely to be used as opponents? If I'm buying a book of creatures with combat stat blocks, I'm going to want to use them in combat. Speaking as someone who doesn't actually know the contents of the books, so could be wrong here.

I hope OP is more forthcoming in future posts what their actually intent is to save us all time trying to figure it out. Nothing deflates a topic like realizing it was just a setup to humble brag about their own product.

Haven't heard of them, but will check them out!
