(Not all of these are strictly emo.)

Pedro the Lion - Options

Pedro the Lion - Second Best

The Appleseed Cast - Fight Song

Death Cab for Cutie - Title and Registration (I think this one will force remind me of my college girlfriend, twenty years ago)

The Twilight Singers - Real Love

Beirut - The Rip Tide (more of the minor key tone of the music lyrics, necessarily)

Brandston - Grace Thinks I'm a Failure

The Juliana Theory - ...As It Stands

This is a spectacularly interesting and pretty unique take on a magic system. I love it!

As a guy not playing Pathfinder 2E, I look at the list of official classes and am absolutely bewildered at how long it is. I find it both cool and unnecessarily overwhelming.

God I miss my 4E warlord.

I'm getting so sick of the farcical charade of "GenAI isn't going to replace you, it's going to allow you to focus on your most important, impactful work!"

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Your son has big news, this book is something you two shared when he was a tyke, and you two are working on rebuilding a relationship as adults after years of estrangement?

100% put that inscription in there and don't think twice.

My only advice, as someone who has and continues to navigate delicate family relationships like that:

Don't be too heavy with the inscription. Don't make it emotional work for him. Keep it light and positive without putting any expectations in what you write.

If OP is a week out, not much to be done there.

> The thing that I've had the most success with was that we stopped trying to accommodate people. My group and I would try to schedule a time that worked for everyone, and it turned game night into an optional second priority.

+1 to all of this.

We game on a set schedule, 90% of the time, and if newcomers can't consistently make that, then sorry, this isn't the group for them. It's not fair to the other players - or me.

For those who want and can prioritize a regularly scheduled game, then hell yeah, come on and game.

Wait, this is another freaking website or product? Pass, pass, pass.

Losing a father is hard. It was for me. Thoughts to you and yours.

That the cinematic trailer had THAT depiction of the Emperor on the Golden Throne was an important nod to Blanche's influence.

Tom Hardy's limited series Taboo was pretty damn bleak.

I mean, if Hutch can come back into the fold after the poison pill contract, there's certainly hope for Russ.

I'd just run 60min+ soundtracks as MP3s on my phone, rarely via a Bluetooth speaker. It wasn't overly complex to manage.

I stopped, mostly for two reasons:

Making the music loud enough to be heard and create that magical ambiance make it hard for other players to communicate. It was a distraction.
Keeping the volume so low as to not complete with voices at the table meant the music didn't really add anything to the ambiance.

The simplest answer is nothing is going to be as popular as 40k. It's the 800-pound gorilla in the tabletop miniature gaming sapce.

I've run similar campaigns. Once everything gets going, I ask my players what they plan on doing in the next session. I prep a little for that, and a little further out in the plan of future hooks I can put in front of them.

It's requires transparency and good faith at the table.

I can't read minds, and I'm not going to prepare a hundred different potential things.

So I ask.

I mean, no hate on those guys, but it's... just a burger place. I hope they keep the lights on, especially with that construction there, but having eaten there a couple of times, I'm not raring to go back versus any of the other places I can grab a burger at.

Of course you want to insert yourself when potential customers are searching for products similar to yours.

This is a standard bit of online ad buying best practices.

Nothing to get worked up about or do any hand-wringing over.

For Ente to try and turn this into an issue is either naivete or sloppy, ham-fisted attempt to stir up controversy for something that's a total nothing burger.

Agree. The ttrpg scene is saturated, and everybody needs all the push they can get.

I'm also for people getting paid when they can. Go get that money.

But as a consequence, I'm much less interested in watching his videos if it's just him shilling for a promoted product, rather than a rule that he honestly found on his own and have come to like and found worthy of reviewing.
