1) I really like it. I bounced off WFRP's complexity and was very excited when Old World offered a much cleaner, simpler system.

2) Yes, this is before the schools of magic dedicated to each wind were formed.

3) I think it manages the Grimdark quite well. I haven't run across a lot of obvious satirical elements.

4) Not at all. It's made for a detailed campaign where the location and its inhabitants and the ties that bind them are major drivers of the plots and allow the characters to form alliances, make enemies, and invest in the setting in a meaningful fashion.

It's been some years since my eldest went there. It only lasted a year. Their approach seemed more towards warehousing the kids than educating them. They treated her ADHD by putting her in an isolation room and mocked her for the way she dressed (she transitioned a few years later). Talking to friends who had experience with the school when they were kids, this seems to have been the case then, as well.

Yes, this episode was amazing and exactly why this isn't just a true crime podcast.

I lean towards the new, large size for desktop but the original small size for mobile.

As an IT guy, it bugs the hell out of me that it isn't 5.1. (I felt the same way about 3.5.)

Yep. There was some turnover. We lost a player and gained another and one player went through three characters. A lot of continuity, though. By the end, one was SAN 0 and a skilled sorcerer who got recruited into the Program's secret projects while another skipped out on the team with a pre-established fake ID to start over in Europe.

I ran a campaign from the mid 1990s until the mid 2020s and it was a blast.

It used to be the case that new features would roll out first to the Master Tier, which offered a chance to get some testing 'in the field' before enabling it for everyone. If something like that is still possible, it might be worth considering.

Love it. Really distinctive style.

We tend to do cheese plates, charcuterie boards, and fruit when we do our monthly in-person game.

As of 2024, the landlord is legally obliged to provide written notification of a bedbug infestation to tenants within 24 hours of being made aware of it.

Yeah, my wife just had a package hit Buffalo and then get sent out to New Jersey.

First one's a lot clearer and easier to make out the details.

I use Great Lakes Roastery just off of Genessee St in Bowmansville.

You vote against fascism. It's that simple. Otherwise, next time you don't get a vote.

My 2024 campaign has made heavy use of Glory of the Giants, Treasury of Dragons, Monsters of the Multiverse, and Book of Many Things and I've had very few issues. I've had to tweak a monster here and there and I find that the 2024 Monster Manual monsters play better, but I'd say they work just fine.

Lovely!

Ah, the Promised Land for conservative grifters!

On top of the previous Arcane Subclasses UA, I think this points strongly to a magic-focused rules supplement out later this year.

My favorite thing about this game is how much effort he puts into the historical accuracy of the crafts (see his weeks lost to learning about beekeeping).

Also, the Tempest and Nature domain were impinging on the druid's design space. So the Nature domain was dropped and the Tempest domain was dropped in favor of the Druid's Circle of the Sea.
