I never really appreciated the drop off in volume between the US /Russia and other states.

Unless, and hear me out, you've just seized control of a small but oil rich nation much closer to home.

1 like = 1 TTRPG in my library

(And quote this, #ttrpysky. I want to know what's in your TTRPG library too!)

(Although it's quite late so I suspect I'll not get much traffic, he said, already preparing an emotional cushion for low engagement)

Yeah. I bought the core, Aberrant and Aeon, and just didn't like them at all.

Sold the physical books on. Doubt I'll ever play them.
Still have the first editions though, if I ever want to do anything with them.

I do enjoy running Aberrant

The 2e of Trinity?
Yeah. I tried to like it, but any character generally that requires 6 chapters across 2+ books is not going to win me over

Death in Space? It's very Mork Borg.

The original Trinity from White Wolf? I dislike the new edition from Onyx Path.

Happy Corporations Having No Meaningfully Helpful Policies But Making A Post Once A Year Saying “look we have women” Day!

starting a thread of NPC names I invented that made my D&D party so mad they yelled at me

Did anyone else notice that D&D announced a Warlock video game with strong emo / Cate Blanchett in Thor: Ragnarok vibes, and suddenly Blizzard are releasing a rock Warlock update for Diablo like 3 months later?

Accelerated release timeline?

This research is actually very interesting, but this picture of the poor test subject is kinda funny

Chag rin, yeah?

Because I grew up in a small village in Yorkshire where people didn't use such words in general conversation, I didn't hear it used until I was in my late 30s.

I was pronouncing it En You Eye for all that time

Roko's Basilisk?

But anyway, disappointed that there's not a Bullets in the Dark for Blades in the Dark, which was by point

Well that's me
1. Not reading my emails properly
2. Not reading posts properly and thinking you were talking about Dawn of the Dead for a solid minute

Mildly disappointed that today's @drivethrurpg.com deal of the day, Bullets in the Dark, is an Arkham Horror module rather than a Blades in the Dark / FitD hack.

It should be, shouldn't it

We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.

IMHO one of the things that killed 4e was WotC's belief that they could keep updating the core rules with different errata that drifted significantly from the physical editions.
That's certainly when I grew tired, when I was inserting the 5th Magic Missile change into the book

Which is a driver for it, but they're tied to physical distribution and the now sacrosanct OGL.
So they have to maintain a core compatibility with 3rd party and physical products, limiting them to marquee event updates at strategically spaced intervals

They're clearly not committed to it.
They're trying to approach it like software releases, like an underlying operating system, but that's not how the RPG market works.
People buy core books with the modules presenting diminishing returns.

So they need a new edition cycle to boost sales

Although I think the new character creation system is uninspiring.
I think the bonus attribute points should have gone into Class rather than Background, or they should have stolen the Pathfinder 2 distribution.

But anyway

I think I would have preferred 5e Revised or similar
It signifies a step improvement without the expectation of a massive divergence from the current edition.

IMHO it was mostly legitimisation of house rules, inclusion of Baldurs Gate 3 rules and a sensitivity update.

Terminology update.
Otherwise continue with your day

I do not wish to know about the events surrounding me in periphery lest they alarm me to a great extent

Looks at you in Vampire: the Masquerade lore

Angel (2021 Remaster) YouTube video by Sepultura - Topic

Just discovered that there's a Sepultura cover of Massive Attack's 'Angel' and it's amazing.
It's a straight cover, nothing clever, but crikey

your refusal to extrapolate the joke has surfaced something deeply concerning: that you are a capitalist automaton incapable of banter
