Surprisingly perhaps, I’ve never heard anything but good things about him. But then I’ve never actually looked into his personality or life, just his contributions to D&D.

I don’t think it sounds stupid at all. PBTA requires a shift in how you think of rpg’s unless you started with that system. I’ve always been told that, and it seems to be true. I’m still kind of wrapping my head around it, myself. I’ve always loved the idea of it, even if I haven’t gotten it down yet, though. I bought Dungeon World, Blades in the Dark, Monster Hearts, and the Avatar rpg Kickstarter with all the extras. I wonder if I need someone else to DM me with other players around who can play it right before I can DM others, because I don’t feel like I’ve quite gotten it down despite all that lol.
That is hilarious. I can imagine it with perfect clarity lol
I haven’t seen these posts, either. But I have to ask, are you this person?
By that logic, the NY Times should be banned as a source. They’re opinion section is chocked full of basically the pro US point of view and defending Israel (including a memo advocating genocide denial). One-sided coverage, poorly sourced, nakedly biased, it all applies to them, too.
Allowing sources from all points of view, as long as the facts are true, seems better than picking and choosing due to bias. Even these “centrist” institutions have their own biases.
The downside of the fediverse =(
Wasn’t that the German or instance? I wonder why they went down. They seemed so big and established.
Oh ya, makes sense actually. Must be the other one.
I think MCDM had cool ideas about this in one of their books, including some sample ready made parties. Of course you’d have to convert them from 5e to PF2, but still it might not be a bad source of inspiration. It must have been either Flee, Mortals or Where Evil Lives.
It sounds interesting although unfortunately I’ve only read the first Brandon Sanderson Mistborn book. Maybe getting the rpg would encourage me to finish the rest of them lol.
I really need to read those books lol.
I was very surprised. Then I was surprised at how surprised I was. Oh well, never meet your heroes. Or look into their opinions on race, gender, or sex lol.
Yet apparently a bunch of people need to learn that, because according to the author when they brought up his flaws in a book, people were falling over themselves to say he was besmirching his good name or slandering Gygax and stuff like that. People need to learn their heroes aren’t perfect, even now, and that’s why I think it’s good this article is spread and read. Not everyone knows to separate the author and their work.
I would blame social media for encouraging parasocial relations, but this is the kind of stuff that existed before the internet, with other musicians and artists and authors, and it’s brought up in academic courses on similar work, so I guess it’s just a human thing that people need to be aware of.
I mean there’s a pretty blatant quote in there, too.
I’d like to get more tabletop rpg content back on ttrpg.network if possible. So in that spirit, just want to remind people that
!dndnext@ttrpg.network !rpg@ttrpg.network
Both exist
Oh Yay! Admittedly, I didn’t try it recently but I remember seeing an article that was down. If it’s back up, I’m glad to hear it.
Is torrent galaxy still down? That was my go to and sounds like I have to find another. I am a little worried if they keep bringing down the big ones like that, that we’ll be left with less choices and it’ll be more difficult.
I didn’t even know Reddit had an offline reader app.
Quality content! I’d love to get more into LARP but coming up with an original character is difficult for me sometimes, and role playing for such long amounts of time seem tiring.
Thanks for that suggestion! I’ll try to find it, too. Maybe that will help it click for me, too.
