    Conan and Mad Max smash-up... ;)

    League of Dungeoneers

    As it's a boardgame, you'll get better feedback on bgg: League of Dungeoneers It has a subforum with quite a few threads.

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    Don't forget that there are folks with tens of millions in just MtG assets, besides their other assets. There have been other 'shareholders' that were fans first and business people second that made a $#!& storm a while ago, they failed, these folks might fail as well, but they might win...

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    I suspect that they are not saying that they acting 'dumb', but that they are acting maliciously to line their own pockets, and that's a lot easier to prove with bonuses and stock sales (as those are tracked). And you don't have to be a rocket scientist or a diviner to know that certain actions...

    D&D General The "Ease of Long Rests" as a metric for describing campaigns / DM styles?

    It depends, so I gave it a 3. We're currently playing in Undermountain, and certain rooms are relatively safe, but there's still a change for wandering monsters (for which I throw), it also depends on how much they cleared out. Sometimes they do backtrack all the way to the Yawning Portal Inn...

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    While certain folks might complain about the secondary market because they are heavily 'invested' in there, I can see the perspective from pure Hasbro investors. But what I read in the short version, it doesn't sound like pure investors, more like folks heavily invested folks in MtG that have...

    Masters of the Universe | Official Trailer

    I'm more wondering how well it will do compared to something like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, it has those same nostalgia awkward vibes...

    Masters of the Universe | Official Trailer

    This is not how I remember the cartoons of my youth, but it looks like fun! Sidenote: The first Masters of the Universe (1987) movie wasn't much like the cartoon either...

    D&D General D&D Evolutions You Like and Dislike [+]

    I played maybe a month of WoW specifically back in 2005, to move to EVE Online. And I've played a lot of other (fantasy) MMOs before and after. And the reason I didn't stick with WoW didn't really have to do with the game system, it had to do with many shards vs single shard and player influence...

    D&D General D&D Evolutions You Like and Dislike [+]

    Positive: Moving away from THAC0 during the transition from 2E to 3E. Moving away from % based class skills to a more mature skill system. And while 3E was more customizable, the current 5e system I find simpler and possibly more elegant. Simplification/streamlining of core systems in 5E...

    D&D General The $150,000 Question: How TSR Learned It Was Dying (And Why I Was in the Room) by Ken "Whit" Whitman

    Years ago someone leaked that internal Games Workshop numbers showed that the average GW games player lasts 3 years. There was a time when GW made a TON of products besides WFB and 40k, then they didn't because they thought they were cannibalizing their own sales (they were to a certain point)...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    That's because @payn is a peculiar person, but that has mostly to do with their obsession with House Marik... ;) Different people can have different opinions, the problems start when some people start phrasing their opinions as facts... And opinions can change with age. My views are certainly...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    D&D is a system, not a world imho. There are D&D worlds/settings like Forgotten Realms, Mystera, Ravenloft, Dragonlance, etc. There have been many different editions of D&D that play very differently from each other, (just mentioning a few from my own experience) from D&D Basic, AD&D 2nd...

    RPG Evolution: The Quest for the Table

    The term 'neutral space' threw me for a loop, I was initially thinking of a room's design being neutral... My mind went, what a strange requirement for a gaming nerd... ;) Then it clicked, a 'neutral space', as in: At no one's home where the homeowner is at the social 'advantage'. I get that.

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    Kind of depends on how you define 'simple' and for whom... People that have been playing D&D for 30-40 years will find a default Wizard the most simple class to play. I would not count the Sorceror with all the Metamagic stuff and Spellpoints a simple class either in this edition. For a new...

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    I played a Warlock previously that did very consistent damage Up to 24 with spells, add regular disadvantage to that and things get pretty darned hard to hit... What is even more fun is that certain folks can get into attack range, attack, disengage and move out of the creatures movement+attack...

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    Imho in D&D5e 2024 it's about DPR vs. the amount of resources (HP, limited use abilities, spells, one use equipment, etc.) used. Last Sunday we played a game with a 8th level Rogue (assassin) and Sorceror (Wildmage). Expending a spell (Fog Cloud) was way more effective then casting a Fireball...

    D&D General You Can Now Get Mike Schley's Official Map of Faerûn

    Yes, the shop is a bit annoying (PITA), but if you really want something it's workable! I've only bought a few digital maps, for use in (Foundry) VTT. They tend to be higher resolution then the ones from DNDB, although I might want to take a look at the new FVTT FR modules first before buying...

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    That's WoD in general, not oWoD or nWoD specifically. As someone else pointed out these ICv2 numbers are VERY unreliable (specifically pathfinder vs D&D4e), these are just generic gut feelings of niche US retailers. No actual numbers, no online sales, nothing outside of the US. New oWoD books...
