@Arkandel Eh, can't say I disagree with them.

I don't disagree either, but it's somewhat silly to get up in arms over.

@Bobotron said in Dungeons and Dragons:

Didn't they try to do this when 4e was out and it failed outright?

I suspect this has to do with edition wars type stuff going on. 4e was loathed by a very large portion of the established playerbase, so they wouldn't be likely to adopt things branded 4e, and a lot of the newer players, I imagine wanted something specifically offline to play in person.

Bad timing.

In addition to this, there were free srds already floating around that would compile all the rules already.

I'm still waiting for Pathfinder's video game to come out. It looked suspiciously like a Mount & Blade mod, which I think would have been awesome.

I have zero interest in making a disposable character for a 'hard core' GM

I was thinking about a system for using rostered yet still disposable NPCs for high mortality cutscenes and dangerous events so that my doomed colony campaign would at least have a core of skills available for certain crisis. This way, players can rp with danger while keeping their hipster bartenders in space safe to make mix tapes and mixed drinks.

@Three-Eyed-Crow stop editing while I'm reading, I feel like I'm being shunted to the nextdoor timeline.

Yesterday I got a beta invite to Rising Storm 2. Flying helicopters is waaaay hard at 160 ping. Those trees come in FAST.

Apparently, Podcentre isn't that great, afterall.

A coworker just sent me this:

All Hockey Hair Team 2014

His preferred war cry is: KMFDM TECHNICALLY ISN'T MUSIC.

'Megaphone' is going to have mega problems, I see.

I was a fan of pretty much everything Dark Horse did in the 90s. You can probably find them in the $1/issue bins these days, or in graphic novel form.

You can't go wrong with Aliens V Predator stuff. I'm working on basing a mush on it, afterall

The Grendel Tales series were also favourites. If you can look for things done by guest authors, I enjoyed them more than the Matt Wagner stories, but War Child was pretty cool.

80s TMNT was a lot of fun. In tretrospect, I'm very surprised that I'm not a furry after being so into ninja turtles for most of my life. These are easy to find in omnibus forms these days.

The Red Star. I don't remember if the story was any good, but I was really into the art style, and picked up random copies to seed RPG campaigns with.

Film reroll is very fun and got me back into GURPs enough to convert my TT group.
I like the ASOIAF podcasts like Radio Westeros and History of Westeros.
Revolutions is a fun history podcast. I enjoy the guy's dry sense of humour.
Hardcore History is a very popular one that comes out too slow. I especially enjoy the guy's 'quotation voice'.
Radiolab is a fun one, they cover a variety of topics.
Joe Rogan is very hit or miss. When he has guests you're interested in, it's great, but usually it's just him talking about pot, hunting and mma stuff.
Serial is okay. The first season's pretty interesting, but I'm having difficulty keeping up with the second.

I feel like I should look into the meta for starcraft when thinking about this economy, it's starting to feel like designing an RTS.

If my math is right,
Somewhere around the 500 colonist mark(~ a month in), it looks like the colony will have to begin running gulags in order to keep 'Thriving' to expand. I'll need to figure out robot slaves! Woo! Better save up your private stash to stay in the managerial role!

@Auspice Seitan is awesome! I do a holiday loaf for thanksgiving and xmas from the post-punk kitchen and it's really tasty.

@Catsmeow said in RL things I love:

I made the chik'n ones (vegan for all of you)

Oooh, what brand? Or did you make them from scratch? Gardein expanded into the states and stopped distro in canada it seems, I'm looking for a new fix.

@fatefan said in Good Comics for People Who Don't Like Comics?:

Do you have a local library system that would let you use something like Hoopla to check stuff out digitally for free?

While I personally found Hoopla to be a PIA to use, it's great for taking a look at what's out there. Most libraries these days are also developing graphic novel collections, too.

For ten years, Calvin and Hobbes was one the world's most beloved comic strips. And then the murders began.

from the blurb on amazon: For ten years, Calvin and Hobbes was one the world's most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Its mercurial and reclusive creator, Bill Watterson, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life.

It could go at the end and work, but two and thens seems poor.

The interview at S-Mart went well. And then the murders began.

My vassals suck (Playing M&B Warband PoP). Seriously, every time I'm not babysitting them, they get captured and I have to search half the map to free them. I wish I could have training sessions with them like I do with the village elders. This game really makes time fly away.

Spaszkie Quickfire had been in a coma on the medical frigate, Hospice for eight months. And then the murders began.

@RDC said in NO-GO IPs for MU*:

I was actually playing on an In Nomine MU when SJG found out about MUing and shut them down. Basically, they argued that MU*s violated their "video game" license - you could have a MU, they said, but you couldn't electronically store or alter sheets. Meaning no XP, no rolling, sheets couldn't be stored on the server.

Basically: they completely failed to understand what MUing was, or completely failed to explain it to their lawyers.

SJG's position on MUs is confusing, because in the basic set they encourage online forums and chat clients for playing with people.

@Thenomain Keith David playing Keith David was the best.
