Yep, the only criticism I hear about it is the NPC are all fairly boring. But to me, that is a good thing for a starter set. Interesting NPC often become a burden to run for a new DM and the game flows more naturally if you start with a generic template and let the DM and players craft a personality to an NPC…

Well my only suggestions are

The starter set for 5th edition is actually really well done. It’s got a whole premade campaign and the rules are actually a complete(if bare bones) view of 5th edition.

What have you played this week?

Coincidentally enough, since I’ve hardly been gaming myself this week, I’ve also been mostly reading RPG source books. One of which is a White Wolf product that I may have gatewayed back into thanks to reading the TvTropes page on the newer edition. Are you sure you aren’t secretly me, William Hughes?

Salutations~!

I had Eye of the Beholder for SNES (one of the few games with mouse support!).

Greetings my fellow degenerate inhabitants of the WAYPTW thread, and how are you doing on this fine Friday?

Happy Birthday! It definitely seems to be a popular time of year: Between April 16 and May 8, there are four birthdays in my family and at least four within this community! The comically large pretzel sounds amazing right now, and it’s my new belated birthday wish (mine was Tuesday)...

Morning all! It’s pretty rare for me to be up this early, but considering the recent development in my life that is the birth of my daughter I figured I’d wake up a bit earlier to catch this commenting train. Last Friday we welcomed her into the world, and words kind of fail to capture how much life is different now…

Salutations~!

I just played through the pre-sequel which was OK, but reminded me of some of the things I didn’t like that I hope they fix in BL3. Better quests would be huge, the quests can be such an annoying slog in the other games, it’d be nice to have some more interesting ones.

Hi folks! All the Sekiro talk in my Twitter timeline has inspired me to pick up my abandoned run of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. When I left off, I had taken a break from the main storyline just after arriving at Drangleic Castle to try out the DLC areas. I made it through two of them before dropping the…

Whoaaaa, so much to do this week! Haven’t had much time for anything game related, aside from the usual FFRK/Valkyrie Anatomia shenanigans. Same old story, didn’t get the relic drops I NEEDED, but acquired enough to apply ingenuity with a dab of luck to earn an incremental victory here and there. Just the way it goes.

It’s that time of the week again, so here’s my contribution to WAYPTW.

Onion Rings. (Beer Battered)

Also Acceptable: Beer

Greetings, Fellowship of the WAYPTW thread, a truncated gaming week thanks to a combination of NHL playoffs, Passover, and project shit hitting the fan at work meant I only really got one game in

Too be fair, the slur is there prominently in the original art.

Interesting in that it seems to be a parody of the old Black Flag “Police Story” Single Album Art....no I won’t link it for obvious reasons.

Let’s just say it wasn’t appreciated by the law when it was on a T-shirt of a nameless skateboarding teen in So Cal.  Lost a good deck to an asshole with a badge that day...

it’s also clearly ripped off from Raymond Pettibon, the original piece is from Black Flag’s Police Story and it does not have the police badge with the homophobic geek speak on it.
