"This kind of counterpoint is vacuously stupid. Does the writer think Vikings didnt massacre people of different faiths Torture people Kill supposed witches Suppress peasant revolts It was the Dark Ages - EVERYONE was doing all the things youre clutching your pearls about. They had to. Let a peasant revolt succeed and your nation falls to ruin. Theyre objectively not good things. This doesnt make the nobility good of course but dont view an ancient revolt in the same lens as 1776 or whatever your leftist fantasy is. If those peasants get power theyll be murderous"

"The only successful Communist state was San Marino from 1945-57 which had an elected communist government which somehow failed to murder anyone (unique among marxist states). San Marino is an itsy-bitsy nation surrounded by Italy. When the San Marino communists publicly APPROVED of the brutal suppression in Hungary 1956 they lost their majority. They pulled shenanigans to prevent a new election and an armed revolt started brewing. Then they saw reason and stepped down with no casualties. So they didnt kill anyone but liked it when other communists did so. They left office but tried"

"Explain this: Electronic Arts has many in-house training sessions seminars and rules preaching the virtue of cooperation across projects. Everyone needs to consider the other projects needs. But Electronic Arts is legendary for the world-war scale conflicts vendettas and backstabbing between their producers fighting for their projects against all others. They have the biggest divergence between words and action of any company I know. Is it because the lets get along stuff is a trap designed to trick new producers into lowering their guard Or is it just that Satan runs the company"

"Horror movies have never gotten respect from mainstream reviewers (yeah I know). When Alien came out the Time magazine review mocked the mollusc-like monster and talked about how lame it was. I went to see Alien based on that review because even then - in 1979 - I knew not to trust them and a mollusc as villain sounded interesting. Lovecrafts book Supernatural Horror in Literature is one long argument about why horror should be taken seriously so it was prevalent then too. Stand up for what you love"

"One of the worst crimes of modern movie-making is that everything has to be personal. So many films the hero is reluctant to save literally millions of people because he promised his wife he wouldn't leave her alone again. In World War Z among other crimes they had to force the hero into action or his family could not keep its safe berth while he sat on his butt and did nothing. Because otherwise he wouldn't SAVE THE WORLD. That cost him pretty much XXX% of his credit in my eyes. In Casablanca a great film Bogart tells Ingrid Bergman that their romance doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the"

"RuneQuest (RQ) is the only fantasy RPG that in my opinion gives spears & shields a fair shake. Spears are quite a good weapon in RQ - they usually strike first and they can get an Impale result on a good hit which generally takes out an opponent. Shields are great - instead of a passive boost to armor shields are treated as a parrying weapon with its own separate skill. Shields are tougher and hardier than other weapons plus you can passively use them to block arrows that might otherwise hit you. The main disadvantage of a spear vs. a sword is that a spear won't damage an enemy's weapon on a"

"My hot take: Call of Cthulhu is better for introducing a newbie to roleplaying games than is D&D. The rules are simpler and more straightforward and you don't have to explain the world and its politics or cultures to them. You don't have to worry about alignment feats or character classes or character races. "It's modern Earth but like in a horror movie." Once they're hooked on RPGs move them to D&D because that's the game they've heard of and certainly want to try. But I honestly think that Call of Cthulhu is a milder easier introduction.

"How do we tell the difference between a "villain" and a "supervillain" The Joker an iconic supervillain has less powers than the Wicked Witch of the West or Darth Vader who are not generally considered "super".

"Explain this: Electronic Arts has many in-house training sessions seminars and rules preaching the virtue of cooperation across projects. Everyone needs to consider the other projects needs. But Electronic Arts is legendary for the world-war scale conflicts vendettas and backstabbing between their producers fighting for their projects against all others. They have the biggest divergence between words and action of any company I know. Is it because the lets get along stuff is a trap designed to trick new producers into lowering their guard Or is it just that Satan runs the company"

Alternatively that the DoE has somehow kept us from being even less well-read than we would have been otherwise"

"Horror movies have never gotten respect from mainstream reviewers (yeah I know). When Alien came out the Time magazine review mocked the mollusc-like monster and talked about how lame it was. I went to see Alien based on that review because even then - in 1979 - I knew not to trust them and a mollusc as villain sounded interesting. Lovecrafts book Supernatural Horror in Literature is one long argument about why horror should be taken seriously so it was prevalent then too. Stand up for what you love"

"One of the worst crimes of modern movie-making is that everything has to be personal. So many films the hero is reluctant to save literally millions of people because he promised his wife he wouldn't leave her alone again. In World War Z among other crimes they had to force the hero into action or his family could not keep its safe berth while he sat on his butt and did nothing. Because otherwise he wouldn't SAVE THE WORLD. That cost him pretty much XXX% of his credit in my eyes. In Casablanca a great film Bogart tells Ingrid Bergman that their romance doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the"

"Confession: I thought the Beholder was SUPER COOL when it was introduced in Greyhawk. I loved it even more in AD&D. I have never used one in my games. In Greyhawk it was completely unclear what it could do.

"RuneQuest (RQ) is the only fantasy RPG that in my opinion gives spears & shields a fair shake. Spears are quite a good weapon in RQ - they usually strike first and they can get an Impale result on a good hit which generally takes out an opponent. Shields are great - instead of a passive boost to armor shields are treated as a parrying weapon with its own separate skill. Shields are tougher and hardier than other weapons plus you can passively use them to block arrows that might otherwise hit you. The main disadvantage of a spear vs. a sword is that a spear won't damage an enemy's weapon on a"

"My hot take: Call of Cthulhu is better for introducing a newbie to roleplaying games than is D&D. The rules are simpler and more straightforward and you don't have to explain the world and its politics or cultures to them. You don't have to worry about alignment feats or character classes or character races. "It's modern Earth but like in a horror movie." Once they're hooked on RPGs move them to D&D because that's the game they've heard of and certainly want to try. But I honestly think that Call of Cthulhu is a milder easier introduction. I have been running a fantasy RPG for my"
