Hello, I come from the future, please tell your Floridian friends to vote Blue in the next election (and ask them to tell the same to their friends). Just a few hundred would suffice.

Trust me, it’s really, really important.

What is your wisdom, oh great fish of the aquarium?

If that happened at my table, I would be as uncomfortable as the orc is.

Is it winter in Bunnyland?

Thank you for improving my self-esteem, Teefers!

I’ve run customized DnD for a few years. It can be a lot of fun if you’re the type of person who enjoys creating and balancing mods for their games. Eventually, I got bored of the limitations of the system, and 5.5e killed my interest altogether.
After a few attempts at changing game system, I simply quit the campaign and told my group why.

Sometimes people just need a gentle push. I tried “Let’s play something else! No? Okay, DnD it is” for years and it didn’t work, so I told them, without half measures, I would not play DnD anymore.
They still play DnD with other friends of theirs, but now they are willing to make an honest attempt at trying other stuff, too.

They should call Boscha and give her a green hairdo.

I tried, it didn’t answer back.

I don’t think the cat will agree to that!

Beautifully written. There’s a treasure trove of great concepts and mechanics that other systems have, which people would absolutely love if they were willing to try them over DnD. It’s not just about playing something “better”, it’s playing something different.

I’ve been recently pushing my friends to move onto other systems. One of them is interested in running Fabula Ultima, for example, because he really likes the Fabula Points system (the ability for players to shape the narrative by spending points obtained during roleplay).

Me, I’d love to run Shadowdark, but only two of us like it, so that’s not gonna happen anytime soon :(

Btw, there’s a typo in your article:

Let me be clear, I don’t want GURPS levels of crunch. I don’t want to calculate the an integral of the area of my bagpack to know if my encumbrance to see if I can carry an extra torch.

Goddammit, I would have liked a bit more of a head’s up…

I see the dog very clearly, perhaps y’all just need to put your glasses on.

Sorry, maybe I didn’t make myself clear.
Yes, it’s spelled out clearly for these 4 games in early release. As I said, I was thinking ahead. Lots of 360 games I own are not available to buy anymore, unfortunately. If this BC program only affects digital licences, it will be a bummer.

I seem to remember they were looking into ways to convert disc into digital licenses, so maybe that’s how they are planning to do it.

After the head of the BC program got sacked in the last round of layoffs, I lost all hope about it going anywhere in the near future. I’m happy I was proven wrong.

What’s not clear in the linked article is how to access the BC games: do I need to buy them from the store, or is a disc allowed like on Xbox console?

A lot of BC games have been delisted over the years, so being able to access them via disc would be great. It’s not an immediate concern as they only made four games available on PC, but I’m thinking ahead.

The bunny will be waiting for a loooong time, because that’s not the bus stop, that’s the amogus stop.

Artist block

Goes on to draw 3000 more (and counting)

My go-to is either the city guard that is one week away from retirement and is really too old for this shit, or the local drunken guy who doesn’t understand a thing but is happy for you, or sorry that it happened.

First one is for serious campaigns (although I like raising death flags for shits and giggles), the other one for one-shots I don’t care enough to entertain the story at anything more than surface level.

He may be Satan, but if he likes Spinach Puffs, he can’t be that bad.

Very evocative.

Stupid sexy Stringbean!
