Ja, ich wundere mich auch schon geraume Zeit wie er seine Arroganz fΓΌttert. Alleine seine Bilanz in seinen Auseinandersetzungen mit Merkel ist ja eher nicht so berauschend.

FΓΌr mich sieht es schon lΓ€nger aus als sΓ€he Merz die AFD als nΓ€her zu seiner Weltsicht als andere Parteien, und er bildet sich ein sie als seinen Juniorpartner bΓ€ndigen zu kΓΆnnen. Geschichtsvergessenheit pur.

The one thing I never really am prepared for is how much my brain wants to lie to me. F'ing day.

And, as always with media that is at least nominally aimes at children there is likely an element of "it is good for kids, and they do not care anyway."

That, and maybe some personal relationship influence?
Some might have known Rowling for a while, or someone else involved & important for the project, and the math changes to "yes, that horrible person is involved, but my good friend(s) want me on board, so..."

And the high blood pressure gives them their far-above-average physical prowess? Do you mean the movie Wanted actually showed a weird high level D&D campaign?

Mostly makes me wonder what kind of payout he is hoping for.

And that means the potential loss (since there are no guarantees!) is a lot bigger than the potential additional profit. YMMV, of course, but it is a valid view.

Entirely possible. But would you bet millions on it? No matter how you look at it, it is a gamble. And they would gamble that money to win what? Tens of thousands? Looking at it purely through a business lens, the money Daggerheart might make ideally is a lot less than CR makes right now.

I would expect that they will run a miniseries with Daggerheart from time to time, though. Or maybe use the time freed up by the larger cast/new GM/multiple groups in the long run to start something new and bigger for the game.

Mostly I agree, but I can also see that the show makes them a lot more money than they are likely to ever get from the system. So, keeping it as the functioning core (and given the likely large D&D-only section of the fandom) I can see why did this.

22.08.2025 10:26 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, agreed. And there would be a lot of people in power who would call on everyone to seriously consider the proposal.

But is your pinky on the hand holding the cup in the same position as it was with other coffee?

Expanding the "Whites Only" concept to your diet? Ok.

If there is anyone Trump will listen to it is Putin.

I hope you mean well, but no type of media should have a list of works you have to consume before you are allowed to enjoy it. Doesn't what you say sound incredibly like the Gatekeeping it is to you?

Sprawlrunners for Savage Worlds is essentially a system for Shadowrun without outright stating that. Good system if you want a more traditional, tactical, but still fluid system.

That said I have read non-ttrpg books using it in the more general sense, and never really played D&D, so for me the more general meaning is still quite close.

I just did some quick Googling to see if I recalled correctly, and at least Wikipedia agrees with me in that the term "lich" predated D&D quite a bit, but was originally used for in general for undead. Looks like D&D can be credited with the specific creature, though.

Swords of the Serpentine, Kult, Delta Green, Outgunned, Blue Planet, Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast. Quite a few, actually.

If Google hasn't failed me, a butt of sack should be 126 gallons of fortified white wine. I do not know the current market price for that, and I am sure money would be preferred, but it would make for a hell of a party.

I have asked for updates every two weeks or so. Looks like I have been ghosted. Pity, and I have no idea why.

Really disappointed by @ipr.bsky.social. A book from a Kickstarter I backed and that they fulfill has been stuck in a UPS warehouse since the end of May. I contacted them after two weeks, and they promised to look into it. No more information since then.

Gonna talk for a second about Nazis, Republicans, DrivethruRPG, that Star Wars game, and more importantly, my grandpa.

Bear with me, the edibles are just kicking in. Might be a little thread.

Absolutely! The Trump administration ignores rules and laws it dislikes, and mostly succeeds in doing so. But for some reason, they will acquiesce to potentially losing power again?
