Always glad to see your new comic, lvoe your series.

I sure did not learn anything about ttrpg development or even what cool indie games I could support from following them, because all they do is complain about D&D. If you are D&D hate blog a) jsut say so instead of pretending to be something else and b) you are a D&D blog. Being defined by hatred of the thing is still being defined by the thing.

A campaign from old magazine in my country about exploration in Araby down south from the Empire, but for first session I did a trial run, where I put them against a Harpy and some undead, they did more than fine.

I missed this comics, always enjoying an update from you

Freaking hialrious, I love this series

I swear if this is more whining about the Orcs…

I admire your dedication and hard work soo much, keep it up, your comic is lovely.

It’s not ai, I remember seeing this art years before ai art theft was a thing.

Always gotta love when the villains fight smart and dirty

Always happy to see a page of this comic

I still got videos with titles like “Five Rule Changes that PROVE One D&D just return of Fourth Edition” or “Did Pathfinder 2e Remastered steal these rules from Fourth Edition?”. Like a new clickabit fad, declare everything 4e or something.

og TSR was the one publishing 1st edition.

The issue with the rolls arises when you have modifiers (like skills), which are in percentage, so you need to sum them up and then cover result and apply it to the roll. Oh and also, you apply Difficulty Levels to your relevant attribute, which are really weird. Easy is -2, Average is 0, Problematic is -2, but then Hard is -5, Damn Hard is -11 and Lucky is -15

So in theory your action should be “roll 3d20, see if you have two successes under relevant attribute” but in practice it’s “add DL to your attribute. Sum up all the modifiers, then convert the sum to a percentage of 20.Roll 3d20. Apply the number you got to the roll results. If two or more results are equal or lesser than Attribute, you succeed, othertwise you fail”.

And THEN you add complex rules for every single minutia thing on top of it. Or lack of rules for things that were deemed to important, because those were relegated to one of many, many expansions.

Oh and in combat you instead roll a d20, and you need 3 different d20’s for 3 different phases of combat.

And then you add the poorly organized book, sometimes contradicting itself (eg. you are supposed to fill a questionnaire to explain character’s concept and what they do BEFORE rolling dice in order for your attributes)

Didn’t knew that. Not using this template in the future, thanks.

To be fair, even Neuroshima fans think this book only comes out to capitalize on Fallout show’s popularity, everyone sees it as a cashgrab.

Well, that’s one way to make your villain despicable. I need to use it in my games one day

Thank you :)

And on the way shareholders fire you for not doing what other companies are doing, or exert pressure to force you to adopt the practices they want because they heard they bring profit

You could still make hella profit, indeed. but when you are as big as WotC and, more importantly, Hasbro, hella profit may not be enough to make more profit than previous fiscal year. Shareholders only care about growth, not ethics.

There’s a Shadowrun hack?!
