A thousand times this.

Isn't this the motto of DnD Next?

I can't be fucked with the first campaign, particularly given mission 2 is "capture X in one week. We're not telling you where in the fucking map X is, and you'll basically have to intuitively take the right path there with no detours". There is the small fact that at the point you could ...

"Hundreds of hours of gameplay" isn't that admirable when the gameplay itself is boring, repetitive and even tedious. Anyone here had any contact with the newest version of Disciples III (Rebirth)? I know the base game was about the level of HVI (though without a DRM as bad IIRC), the expa...

While I agree that Kautari's games are great, WotN was quite buggy on release (though they've fixed most of the problems) and it shows that some things got cut in the development (half of Demonis is inaccessible - though the map shows there are shops in that area). Still, compared to the issues the ...

The Heroes IV campaigns had, all things considered, good writing, which is not something I can say stood out for any of the others. This I cannot deny. The writing was - as far as the series goes - a shining example of how to do things. If only the game itself was better... And seeing the writing i...

Eh, Heroes V with the expansions isn't that bad - nowhere near HIII level obviously, but still I'd rate it as far superior to HIV and VI. And while I agree the newest game is the best looking - though I hate how over the top some units are and how the factions became color coded (toxic green? must b...

It had a -66% discount during the sale, there is a possibility they will repeat the offer.

HoMM... XI?

True - still, at least he didn't get to play * it. All in all, that is better than getting to see the game in action - even if you paid and never got it to run. *as much as the various bugs and issues allow to do that (of course the biggest one is that the game isn't fun and is the greatest disgrace...

it isnt in the MM so it isnt a part of 2nd edition, it would then have to be a part of XX setting FOR use with 2nd edition. do you people REALLY not understand the 4th edition motto of "everything is core" if false? Ah, but it is in the MM - though in this case this stands for "Monst...

two platforms. each edition to D&D is equated to a platform, just like monopoly as a board game is one platform, and as a card game another platform. I think there is a subtle difference here. You have a card game a and a board game, a handheld console and something you plug to a TV, whereas al...

t doesn't affect Microsoft. it doesn't affect Nintendo.

And because of it Microsoft still supports and sells Windows 98 and Nintendo makes games for the Gamecube. Oh, wait...

I, myself, never understood why almost all Flying types even needed the normal type. Why couldn't they just be Flying type? Or even the Bird type ? The bird type would need to be separate from the flying type (I don't think things like Charizard, Dragonite or Gyarados would work as a "bird&quo...

Were those as bad as the Witcher one? Fun fact - it was made around the same time LotR gave us Gollum (yes, I know the Witcher movie had a budget we can't compare with LotR in any way).

I really don't think they'd make the new Mewtwo an evolution - Eviolite Mewtwo might be too much...

Wow. What was the reason behind the ban?

1) It's not a bonus; therefore, bonus stacking rules have nothing to do with this. It just adds to your base IP. (pretty please, somebody show me where it says "bonus") By this logic Toughness doesn't need the rule about its effects stacking, as there is no mention of "bonus" in...

Given we accept the supposition that the text refers to any numeric increase gained from a source, how do you reconcile that with Cure spells? I don't think anyone is saying that multiple Cure spells in quick succession should not heal the target - even though the hp are a "bonus" from th...

Secondly, the section you quoted also specifically says they stack if they have "no type at all". I don't see a type specified when it is giving you additional Inspiration points. The type matters for different sources - the only thing it mentions in relation to bonuses from the same sour...

Which means that they're not adding anything meaningful regarding the Thalmor. Fuck. Eh, the Thalmor always striked me as something they'd leave for another game. Not that there is much to do with them after the Civil War ends... The Timing to announce a game set in bombed out boston would be a bit...
