They have had ideas before about how to monetize players -- the 'Complete Guide to X', the spell/ability cards as a player aid, etc. None of it has really worked out well. Their biggest money making from players has always been the ancillary stuff like CRPGs, books, clothing etc.

I did kinda wonder when people would notice it's the GM that buys everything and therefore most people playing TTRPGs are 'untapped'

Alpha and yeah. Now it IS alpha so obviously lots of slack should be given and there does appear to be a substantial chunk of the game live, but they start you in 'Chapter 2' at level 15 and that results in you just having a fuckton of abilities, many of which are currently kinda stupid. I...

So far the character I like the least is... the PC. The main dude himself is boring as fuck in terms of abilities.

The general aesthetic plus being a single player mage game. Im so done with 'survival/crafting' crap

I like the look of it

So why wouldn't they just have the main character and their legion of misfit toys be a member of the family rather than the head of it?

This one does... 3 planets at the start and you get to colonize more while acting as the head of state for this small personal empire. But never mind that, lets hear this rando's sob story and go put yourself in harms way to fix their daddy issues.

I find the premise of this game... odd. You are the Rogue Trader granted sanction to do shit in the Emperor's Name because there needed to be a narrative explanation for a mismatched group of adventurers who are allowed to go do shit. That part is a conceit but one I can get behind easily...

The best hope here is that its so bad that its good.

Everytime I start to read 40K lore I get a headache. I find it interesting but so fucking narratively dense. There's just so much that its overwhelming.

The actual game itself is a lot of fun. Just try to take a xanax before you get overwhelmed by metasystems-R-us

This is never gonna be done is it?

Yeah the whole running around the 'base' business is sloppy and the character controls feel awful. Its like playing a nice game of Xcom-meets-Hearthstone and then getting thrown into Asheron's Call between missions.

I did... a few days AFTER it arrived.

The cooking event is pure chaos. I love it.

In other news -- some friends of mine are at PAX Unplugged and gave D&D Onslaught a whirl and said it was actually pretty fun.

I get the general impression that we are the 'BBEG' in this. My only reason for saying 'nah' is that the primalists are a little on the bloodthirsty side, but then again we're wandering around slaughtering 10ks of thousands of people at a moments notice so maybe its not that different. From...

Jesus Christ. Bring, like, a whole box of tissues to this one. I have a strong feeling I'll be bawling by the end.

Im glad they kept the 'adventure and gain cool temp powers' aspect of Torghast in places like the Cobolt Assembly. That was part of Shadowlands I truly enjoyed and now they've made it a much more open world / social area.

I know yer not throwing shade at the greatest female antagonist of the 1990s! I will say, however, that all the new voice talent they added for this expansion seems to be knawing the scenery to the Nth degree. On a whim I decided to look at the 'talent build and rotations' for my spec and they...

Fan Vote Open! - 50 YEARS OF DUNGEONS & DRAGONS! Finalists are...interesting. Several much better entries did not make it to the finals. Anywho people get to vote for the next couple weeks and the winner is announced after.

They instanced the crap outta the campaign and that, honestly, is for the best. You do get to see a person here and there but most of the content is built assuming yer a solo player and in that sense having other people around is just fucking annoying as you compete for resources. Finished...

You can and should build on the lore. The original was a little too reliant on Warcraft 3 for the entire plotline. *edit* "lets go back to using a boat to get to the expansion area... what could possibly go wrong with that single point of failure?"

I think it's telling that I literally didn't even think to do LFR for the remaining raids in Shadowlands.

Finally finished levelling up the Void Elf Spriest and got the Mechagnome unlock. Chromie-time is crazy fast for leveling. I think I did 50-60 (maybe even 49-60) in Vashj'ir and didn't even finish the zone. Evokers seem fun, at least the DPS spec does. Never tried the healing spec but from...

Okay logged on for the first time in a couple years. Did they do something horrible to heal targeting? Using my Mistweaver I used to target a bad guy and would cast soothing mist or whatever on whoever that badguy was targeting. If I wanted to heal myself I could clear the target and then it...

They were worried about the wrong Andor... they done forgot Maarva was a separatist

Quite disappointed in the reports that much of this is just copy-pasta from Vermintide 2. I was hoping the Psyker would be legitimately different than the Bright Wizard, but it doesn't seem to be?

You would be correct.

The Star Wars universe in general is not nearly as computer-centric as our own, seemingly because of lack of need. They had more-or-less the same functional level of development for thousands of years. They could travel from planet to planet, they had mechanical servants to do menial tasks...

Oh...so they rebooted FreeRealms eh? Seriously what the hell is this shit? The 'lets to fly around' expansion?

Disney gonna show the first two episodes on ABC on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving and then again on other Disney-owned networks and HULU. Apparently trying to get people to watch as the ratings for this are in the absolute crapper. If we want to see quality stuff like this in the...

Was actually surprised when this arrived today. I hadn't been following the Kickstarter updates that closely of late. Has some interesting looking new game mechanics including one involving alchemy that involves experimentation via a advent-calendar-ish "open a window to discover what you...

Andor was championed by the Kathleen Kennedy partisan faction within Disney yes? This would seem to cement her position which had seemed tenuous after the pop culture success of the Mandalorian.
