I can't recommend Robocop: Rogue City enough.

It does look, feel, and play like the genuine item. I had no idea I missed a Robocop game this badly.

Good luck, and thanks for stepping up.

Pandaily claims Hasbro offered the IP to Larian first, but the price was so unreasonably high that they passed the ball to Tencent, and Hasbro trying to bamboozle Tencent into buying a mid (at best) IP for a king's ransom is something I'd believe.

Mearls had been already sacked years ago... he was only hired back by Winninger about a year or so ago, and put in a position where he could no longer do further damage, so it's not like he counts.

I wouldn't be that shocked if we got a Nazi party (or something similar) for the 2028 election. Your country already has 2 nazi parties, why would you want a third? Ok, I know the Republicans have gotten pretty close to outright genocide with some of their stuff "Close"? My sibling in Fly...

A friend recently refered me to Gundam: The Witch From Mercury. It starts as your tired, average school drama, but give it a chance, it has a similar narrative structure to My Hime/My Otome: It starts lighthearted but only remains stupid long enough to ease you and sell you out on the premise, then ...

And the world is a darker place now.

Thing is, the only reason most people playing dnd do so is the sloth of not leaving their comfort zone. Their sloth is stronger than their hatred of dnd... because they DO hate it and everything it stands for, including, but not limited to: 1) Agency (because NO, they don't hate the "haves vs h...

Yes, having the monsters exist somewhere other than the real world would be different than a masquerade. Real talk... FUCK THE REAL WORLD . Strangereal is perfectly serviceable and allows you to depict your world in ways other than our cyberpunk hellscape, a planet without rising fascism and dictat...

Not as glorious as last three, but still reflects enough of game tables' reality.

Is this like that episode of Pen and Teller's Bullshit where they manipulated a statistic to say America's favorite pet was a giant mecha praying mantis?

See, instead of a new space for a thousand new RPGs to bloom, I'm predicting we just get another half a decade of Pathfinder on the throne, since Paizo have proven before that they can take the top spot and I'm unaware of any changes in management or zeitgeist that would remove their ability to do ...

Glad to still have this place around.

The problem with RPeen NPCs is that they shatter WSOD merely by existing. Why are the lvl 1 chumps even here when Elminster can save the world -now-? Why isn't he doing it already? Refer to The Problem of Evil. Furthermore, if the reason they're Willing But Not Able is that they have legitimately mu...

What,they replaced Dick Cocksmith or whatever his name was? Travesty! Chris Cocks seemingly did so well at handling WotC that he was given the keys to the kingdom and is now Hasbro's CEO. Unfortunately, reading the new head's curriculum, all I see is the other shoe dropping. Forget about DnD as a g...

Wait... System agnostic setting book with random gonzo nonsense...? Have you heard of... Tome?

The Steam videogame?

Give me magical TVs and murderhobos as rockstars and whimsy and otherwise fantasy settings that take don't take themselves seriously. Crap in the vein of Dragon Half and Fairy Tail. If it's a system-agnostic setting book, all the better.

So, any recommendations?

The thing is, NuTSR swiped Star Frontiers' trademark while forgetting the book and its content was a copyrighted IP, and now that they're being called out, WotC filed an injuction against Justin LaNazi on account of IP theft AND damages since NuTSR is misleading the public into associating WotC's pr...

Everything can be compatible with the old rules when there were NO old rules.

So far, most of what I read falls under "too good to be true" (for 5E standards, that is).

You know what happens when something looks too good to be true.

Could anyone with a wizards' account upload the document somewhere? I really don't want to boost their metrics.

The only comic I can make about this note is how I CANNOT make a comic about it, since the fash is too blatant, too on-the-nose for satire.

I just watched the first movie... and I came to the conclusion that the reason gamers hate it is because it's true to source. THAT is the way an average game looks to an outside onlooker. Dumb characters, scenery-chewing villains, self-important NPCs, a grandiloquent plot with more holes than a gruy...

I haven't watched the trailer yet because I'm afraid of the secondhand embarrassment I'll experience. Is it tolerable?

It's good enough, it's even fun.

I've been reading too much manga lately and an interesting question came to me: How many TTRPGs out there let you level up in the middle of a fight? The only game I know of that explicitly does that is... well, mine , since I wrote it specifically to emulate the shounen genre. Mind you, it's not &q...
