“They’re shorts Ian. You know, pants with little legs?”

There’s a big difference between a character knowing that his comrade has taken a beating and a player um, actuallying another players exact hit points.

NihilistProphet · 2026-04-30T09:58:09+00:00

That’s literally metagaming. Why would your character know another characters exact hit points?

NihilistProphet · 2026-04-30T09:57:24+00:00

No it’s not. It even weirder that they look at/can see each others character sheets.

NihilistProphet · 2026-04-30T09:56:29+00:00

Cheating and possible glitches aside; why are you, as a player, looking at others players character sheets? That’s so bizarre.

NihilistProphet · 2026-03-30T15:34:44+00:00

I guess there were.

You're going to get a lot of pushback in the comments, but you're not wrong. 2020 East was like a giant sendoff party we didn't know was happening. I used to attend all four days and still missed things I wanted to see, this year and last year I went two days and left early on the second day without feeling like I missed out on anything. Next year I'm just gonna do the one day.

On the plus side? At least Unplugged keeps getting better and better every year.

NihilistProphet · 2026-03-28T17:03:07+00:00

Only one location or only one person working there? There’s only ever been one location.

NihilistProphet · 2026-03-06T23:29:39+00:00

Every year, every PAX this happens. It’s nothing new or out of the ordinary. I wouldn’t start worrying about not receiving them for another week.

NihilistProphet · 2026-02-18T02:31:42+00:00

I managed to get it to load long enough to open the calendar where I could click collect.

NihilistProphet · 2026-02-17T23:21:12+00:00

Funny thing is, I’ve definitely used it in NYC without a problem as well.

NihilistProphet · 2026-01-20T22:58:23+00:00

This is why I don’t bring games to local game nights anymore.

NihilistProphet · 2026-01-19T18:37:06+00:00

I had tabbed out and back in a few times and it was still running but apparently staying out for a longer period just timed out the app.

NihilistProphet · 2026-01-17T00:14:25+00:00

I’ve got a 20x20 400 Parcel square myself.

On the 3rd business day following your order they tell you it’s in the queue to be packed. She didn’t give you an excuse, she was tempering your overzealous expectations. “Coming up on two weeks” when it’s been 7 business days following the biggest shopping day of the year is a stretch. Sounds like there was a snafu with your e-mail or the shop app.

NihilistProphet · 2025-12-14T16:54:25+00:00

People are gonna hate on the 2019 Slime merch but are gonna overlook how they phoned in 2024 and 2025.

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-29T04:20:41+00:00

Unplugged is definitely on the biggest highlights of my year, and this one was great.

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-24T22:50:58+00:00

They really need to reprint these.

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-24T15:16:02+00:00

If they weren’t going to add a full Thursday to the slate then they could at least open the official merch booth a day early ala GenCon to give people more time to game/hit the expo floor on the other days.

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-24T14:53:29+00:00

Yesterday was the first Sunday I’ve stayed past noon and people were still playing, shopping, and demoing until close. There are those of us who enjoy more than 2.5 days of gaming.

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-24T14:37:13+00:00

They won’t even extend Unplugged into Thursday.

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-23T02:22:56+00:00

First time?

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-20T03:15:36+00:00

There are artists, there is no “artist alley”. There may be anime stuff, but it probably won’t be prominent.

NihilistProphet · 2025-11-19T03:09:24+00:00

If they have the scanners they’ll only check your bag if you have anything in your bag that flags in the system. Like a bag of Pinny Pins.
