    Anime The mistake a lot of modern boomer shooters make

    I simply cannot agree. Would fights like Radahn, Gwyn, Oceiros, or Gehrman have been remotely as impactful if they had not been built up through those games' respective stories and theming? As visual spectacles, maybe, but it's a moot point because those bosses are there to serve Miyazaki's...

    Anime The mistake a lot of modern boomer shooters make

    Halo is a game about a Spartan (the Indo-European warrior ideal) lead by an intelligence sprung from the mind of her own creator (Athena) locked in an existential battle over the mantle of civilization (here represented by the Index and the Forerunner's legacy more generally) with a hysterical...

    Despite my spirited defense of Raggi earlier, I think his new modules are pretty shitty. Just A Stupid Dungeon is yet another subversion of the classic dungeon with a world-ending maguffin at the end. Raggi seems to have forgotten that he already did this with Death Frost Doom, except Death...

    A third worlder in the first world leeching off welfare money and affirmative action symbolic "jobs" is still a third worlder -- and they still act like that in their home countries, just with different subject matter. The third world is the place where you're most likely to get murdered for...

    I'm impressed by the breadth of content they've included. Even B/X race-as-class and AD&D separate race and class together. I'm also glad to see they haven't excluded important parts of Dark Sun's setting because it might offend some third worlder somewhere. I always thought that WotC would...

    Good. D&D should be edgy. (Old) D&D is about smashing in the skull of a hobgoblin chieftain while his mate and little hobgoblin children watch from the corner of the room, or your thief getting slowly crushed to death by a devious, brutal trap. Lamentations does a far better job communicating...

    You have to be at least partially an anti-social autiste to write good media. Raggi's predilection for recording himself nude in front of a green screen ranting about random topics for fifty minutes is directly correlated to his ability to write what is arguably the best B/X spinoff on the...

    Will there be any difference mechanic-wise between OSE now and OSE post-Kickstarter?

    I'd contribute to the campaign if the $240k stretch goal was to administratively ensure tieflings never appeared in OSE instead.

    D&D 5e Starter Pack questions

    Imagine your introduction to the Codex being a schizo battle over AD&D 2e and dice linearity

    Got a big paycheck, so I ordered the full set (PH, MM, DMG). Something like four months for all of them to ship. As we Zoomers say, "bruh". Reminds me of how I ordered a copy of Miseries & Misfortunes from Burning Wheel last October and it only shipped yesterday. The PDFs are quite nice though...

    [Poll] Elves

    Elves should be man-eating ancient creatures of folklore. I suppose that the closest portrayal I can think of is Dwarf Fortress.

    In Progress [Let's Command] Rangers vs. Panzergrenadiers in Combat Mission: Fortress Italy

    In my defense, we still have an unsubmitted order. I should probably just be straight with you guys -- I'm way too busy atm to be doing these big effortposts, and all my free time is being funneled into other projects. If some kind soul has CM:FI and wants to continue in my stead, I've uploaded...
