Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of.

  • What's Lemmy reading?

    Jump

  • Almost done with Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Had a few friends and family members talk about how great the Dragonlance books are, but I grew up reading The Legend of Drizzt books. So far I absolutely love it, and if you play DnD I suggest you get a copy.

  • Games that have stuck with you?

    Jump

  • I think it's been in development hell for years, and the only screenshots ive seen make it look like a visual novel. Not hyped for it.

  • When, where and how do you read?

    Jump

  • I own a lot of books. There's a used book store near my house where I get them cheap. Every night before I go to sleep I try to read a chapter.

  • Games that have stuck with you?

    Jump

  • Vampires, The Masquerade: Bloodlines. The whole vibe of the setting, the story, the locations, and then when I finally understood what the plot was really about. Masterpiece of a game, couldnt stop thinking about it.

  • What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs?

    Jump

  • Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is surprisingly good. Surtur's theme is one of the best boss themes ive ever heard. I also really like using the Battle Brothers ost for my Pathfinder games.

  • Going to a MtG Prerelease, any tips?

    Jump

  • That shit pisses me off so much. Im only going cause the boys are going.

  • Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?

    Jump

  • Every game after Black and White is copy paste garbage, but everything before that is pretty damn good.

    Jump

  • Same. People like to call it a groundbreaking open world game when its exactly like all the others: a big world filled with the same few activities copy pasted over and over.

  • What is the "Bi-Cycle"?

  • Perfectly stated. Having this new list of identities is extremely useful and helped me out a lot, but of course its gonna have problems. Trying to sort and categorize human beings is always a problem.

  • Your favorite board games?

    Jump

  • Looking at images online and your description of it, it seems like the game in question.

  • Sci Fi Fans! Tell us a specific show or if it's popular, an episode of a show that you are enamored with and why

    Jump

  • Its probably a common answer, but "Measure of a Man" from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It makes me hope for a future like that, where people can settle their problems by talking it out and debating, and even change their minds. Whenever I think about what Star Trek is really about, I think about Measure of a Man. Its such a shame Paramount's Picard show disrespected it so badly.

  • In my opinion, trying to put titles and classifications on yourself can usually do more harm than good, and this is a good example why. For a little while I was scared that I wasnt "really bisexual" cause I slightly preferred feminine to masculine people. Then I realized that I shouldnt think about it too much and get stressed over things we all just made up, so now I just do what I want. It sucks that people use that "just a phase" argument, just let people live their lives.

  • Excuse my ignorance but what makes it annoying? And why is it bad that you now have a slight preference for girls?

    (I assume you're an expert on this subject judging by your username, or you just like riding bicycles)

    Jump

  • Why do you hate it? And I dont understand why some people apparently seem to alternate between what they like?

  • Any Pathfinder players here?

    Jump

  • As a long time player of 3.5e and Pathfinder, I would go with Pathfinder. Although I love the aesthetics of 3.5e and that whole era, the balance changes that Pathfinder brought makes it more fun for everyone.

    Yeah he was talking about a wild west themed "wandslinging" new area for Eberron, and now he's thinking about just making it its own thing. If anyone can make that idea work, its Keith Baker.

  • Its a lot easier than you think. The easiest way to learn (at least in my opinion) is to just read. You dont have to read every word of the Core Rulebook, but at least look through it all, and definitely read the middle section about combat (aka how the game actually works). You're already playing 2e, so learning 1e shouldnt be that hard. If you need any of the books as pdf just ask, but all the rules and options are available for free on Archive of Nethys (which also has a 2e section). And the Paizo forums are great for asking questions or looking for answers.

    Also Eberron is awesome. My favorite setting by far. Shame Keith Baker probably wont be able to continue writing stuff for Eberron due to WoTC.

  • What's something fun you have planned this summer?

    Jump

  • Me and my family try to go to Cape May, New Jeresy every year. Been going there since I was a kid. Beautiful beaches, lots of great restaurants, its a fun time. Plus they have the best hot dogs on the East Coast: Hot Dog Tommy's. He's a really nice guy too (although he retired and now a new guy wears the hot dog hat).

    A few weeks ago I also went to New Orleans. Amazing food, but The Simpson's werent kidding about how bad it could be. The French Quarter really does smell like garbage 24/7, and it gets really busy and hectic at night. Reminds me of a tourist trap boardwalk. But I loved everything else about it, and the National WW2 Museum is there. Although the museum didnt go in depth as I thought it would, and they really focus on the U.S. A tour through there made me realize why so many Americans think we won the war single-handedly.

  • Seems like a lot of people switched over to Pathfinder recently due to all the bad shit WOTC has been pulling. Im all for it, Pathfinder and Paizo is FAR better than WoTC and 5e DnD (and whatever OneDnD is/was supposed to be). I really wanna run Abomination Vaults as well, just to try out 2e. I prefer 1e, but I 2e is a very well designed system.

    Jump

  • I remember finding a great subreddit called r/CharacterArt (or something like that). You could post character art mainly focused on dnd and other ttrpgs. I thought that was a great idea, and checked it out to find some cool art for my own Pathfinder game.

    90% of the top post were women in revealing clothing.
