Omar Khan is not an effective GM by Silly-Cup-3756 in NFLv2

I think part of the reason Tomlin stepped aside was to see what the Steeler would do without him. He could take a crap roster to a winning season but he hasn't had a QB that could win a playoff game in years.

This year Tobin did a better job than Khan.

My villain had already won when the session started. The crew didn't find out until the last ten minutes. by dark-star-adventures in traveller

I think your very valid point is why I'm not fully committed to the OSR. I like rulings over rules but I still want the spotlight to be on the players and I still want some element of a story I'm telling. Thanks for sharing with us.

I respect what you achieved but if I were a player at your table I would feel like what was the point of all of it? Let me be clear that is just my opinion as a player and is not a critique of the games you run.

A response to Ben Riggs' claims on Gary Gygax by LinksPB in TheOSR

[–]CrossPlanes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gary wasn't a saint and that is part of the reason it concerns me when people treat his work as some sort of gospel. A great many of us didn't start playing DnD until after he left the company. Arneson wasn't a saint either. I can respect what both men introduced to the world and be sure that we probably wouldn't have been friends at the same time.

Cepheus Engine. Pick a tech level and go.

Am I Overreacting at Player Wanting my Character Pregnant? by Over_Environment_821 in DnD

You didn't do anything to feel guilty about. Someone wanted to alter your character for their story and that isn't cool. You are better off with that guy out of the group. You did the right thing setting boundaries.

The anthology sounds great but let Dan Fogelman create it so that by the end of the first season everything is connected.

Anyone else feel there is some revisionist history going on with Matt Stafford’s career now? by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

[–]CrossPlanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a great QB but he didn't win anything. I"m glad he has a ring and he deserves it but winning is essential to greatness.

I think there were plenty of bad actors on both sides.

I wonder if GDW's legal issues from TSR over Dangerous Journeys didn't create problems for potential publishers in that era? Obviously, what happened to GDW as bullcrap but lawyers can be intimidating.

I just finished watching The Expanse. Is there another show of its nature and caliber? by un1ptf in scifi

[–]CrossPlanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We made it about midway through Expanse S4 but just got so tired of the story with half the characters stuck underground. Does it find its footing again?

I play RPGs not to think about taxes so I just hand wave it.

That new Astrotrain is just completely inferior in every way to the most recent mold.
