For all my ttrpg players out there, does it take you out of the game when the GMs homebrew setting has really obvious inspiration from something else? Like for example if a setting was heavily inspired by Tolkien or Martin or Le Guin?

My spouse and I are big fans! We can definitely tell its a creation of it's era (VERY fast paced ang go go go) but the music is killer and the story is refreshingly straight forward and uncomplicated.

Apologize for my ignorance, what would be the best way to get on your wait-list?

This stormcloud hanging over everything robs so much joy from what good there is, and makes every evil and indignity feel so much worse.

Looking through my pdf of the 1st edition rulebook, I noticed that both I and my spouse are above the max height for humans in our respective genders! 😆

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!

Hold up, is that just a wish of yours (ours) or something confirmed to be happening?

Awesome!

I'm very excited for it! Have been wanting a revamp/cleanup for some time now, and love what im seeing so far!

#wfrp What is everyones wishlist for the upcoming 5th edition?

For me it is reducing the number of meta points (don't need four lol), eliminating skill purchases in one point increments, and better organization of the book itself.

That's Big Auto at work in the movie industry!

I appreciate that this is framed in avery subtle but hopeful way, like the passage in 1984 that showed how newspeak "workED".

I hope as many of us as possible get to see the light return.

You know, I think my reading comprehension failed me on this one, as this whole thread I've pretty much had people who stay home/vote third party on election day in mind. My bad on that one 😅

I'm 100% with you on that.

I guess in that case I would vote for the people more likely to change their minds, or failing that make my vote a parting shot for harm reduction, maybe I can't be saved regardless (say both options are gunning for me) but maybe I can help others get through.

I feel like that time is valuable, the best case being it gives us more time to turn things around, but even in the worst case I think extra years of freedom, life, etc. are worthwhile. Given no other choice I will vote for the guy promising to kill me in 5 years if the other guy will do it in 2.

Like, obviously if the system is offering a shit sandwich and a piss sandwich, the preferable option is to make systemic change so those aren't your choices, but lacking the power to affect that change I don't think it's a good idea to condemn everyone to the worse option out of spite.

This is obviously a really bad space for nuance, but I am going over this image and find myself fundimentally agreeing within the silly hypothetical. Like if you can't stop totalitarianism by force (yet) then the only two routes I see are acceleration or harm reduction,and I lean the latter.

I was VERY suprised to here that it knocked Daggerheart out of the top spot, but very good indicator!

I'm very much looking forward to playing my first session next week!

Good job! Always enjoy reading <3

As someone who "served their country" let me tell you Forrest, your videos and your activism have done so much more good in our country and in the world then I did spending four years wearing a uniform.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service <3

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

I couldn't say for sure, but my guess would be some kind of merchandising issue (like low expected toy sales or some such).

Great read! Thanks for going over it in detail, I haven't been able to pick it up yet so this article really helped satisfy my curiosity for what exactly this game is like.

After the presidential election I just didn't have the heart to let myself believe it was possible, but New York has delivered hope unlooked for, and I rejoice all the more for it!

I mean, that's pretty close to be fair lol

Oldest and Fatherless!

For all the @wfrp folks out there, are there any rules you stole from Imperium Maladictum? If so how eaaily did it slot in and did you see good results?

serialphemera Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of *militant decency*. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deepy, intensely *angry*, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before
