The show doesn't really seem like it has all that much to do with the book other than it having the same people (characters?) in it. It was ok I guess? One episode didn't really give me enough to make any sort of judgement on it but it apparently got approved for a full season so I guess I'll see where they go with it.
-
I've been pretty excited for this since it's been announced. A shorter rpg sounds cool, especially if it allows for more range in choices and for those choices to matter more.
-
I won't until it's done but I definitely feel better than I did two weeks ago when they were basically tied in polls. It's sad that this is what it took for people to start abandoning ship and I think 40% of the country is still going to vote for Trump because "anyone but Hillary" but at least it seems a lot less likely now.
-
So uh.....this election suddenly got really weird in the last day. I guess Trump probably won't step down because it's more profitable to promote himself and spend campaign funds on traveling on his plane and using his hotels?
-
Yeah, I don't think Trump is going to win but I'm not very excited about having to go through this every 4 years for the rest of my life. Especially since each presidential election is now apparently a year to two years long apparently. In some ways I think the 2020 election will be worse because it will probably be someone equally awful running but more competent, like Ted Cruz or Mike Pence. I don't think it's possible for a moderate to win the Republican nomination anymore.

This has been sitting in my wishlist for a little bit now and from watching the videos I had a question, is it mouse driven like Diablo (PC version) is or does it play more like a twin stick shooter or the console version of Diablo 3?
-
So I think in the Sprawl game someone mentioned that they've played Numenara before but I forgot who. What did you think of it?
-
Hillary's slide is more ridiculous https://twitter.com/DanaSchwartzzz/status/780442277890166784 So I guess tomorrow we'll see the media equate Trump's awful garbage with Hillary not smiling enough or whatever.
-
Hah, I was just wondering if I should post that in the Gaming forum or if it belonged here. It'll be interesting to see if devs drop support of the Oculus and move to the Vive since a lot of those alt-right people are the same ones that harass devs on Twitter.
-
Other than Dungeon World, what do people recommend?
-
That would work for me. I think pretty much any time on Saturday or Sunday would work.
-
How easy it is to jump from The Sprawl to Dungeon World once you know the rules? They use the same rulesystem right?
-
I downloaded it but haven't played it yet. PC Gamer said apparently it's not actually that great but still worth playing just because it's so bizarre seeing what the game is like vs what direction they ended up taking the Warcraft franchise. So they might have actually been right to cancel it but I'll still play it because how often is a new 90s adventure game discovered?
-
I think I would prefer just voice but Roll20 is great and I'm glad we're using that.
-
So instead of covering Trump's VP pick refusing to distance himself from a KKK member or how he abused his charity, I guess it's more important to talk about conspiracy theories about Hillary's health. I'm so tired of this election and we have another month and a half of this. Can't wait for it to be done unless news coverage stays like this and Trump ends up winning. Ugh.
-
Works for me too!
-
I think most weekends should be fine for me.

It took me about 20 years but I finally beat Baldur's Gate. It's still a pretty decent game too. Not as great as everyone thinks it is, like the later Black Isle games, but still worth playing if you can get around the sorta clunky interface and adaptation of the AD&D ruleset. Actually the biggest failing of the game is that the pacing is so hit or miss. There's long chunks of the game where you're just kind of doing boring sidequests so you won't get demolished later on. Whining aside, the writing is still fun and it provides the multiple solutions for quests that you still see in Bioware games today. I'm glad that the expansion for the game was released this year because that was my whole motivation for playing through it. I've started it and it seems pretty solid so far. It's a little weird that an expansion was made using the lessons people have learned from the 20 years of game development that have happened since then but they've done some pretty cool things with the game already and the new story doesn't seem like anything that would offend people that are huge fans of the series since it takes place between BG1 and 2.
-
It does! I just did the same a couple of months ago. My local library is really cool, has a big selection of books, and has small almost office-like self-study areas that are great for when I want to get out of the house to do work on my laptop but don't want to sit in a coffee shop.
-
Yes! I have the rulebook but haven't read it yet. I guess I can try to cram in as much of that as I can. I haven't played anything Powered by the Apocalypse yet.
-
I wouldn't mind joining in for some games too. Maybe not a whole campaign, at least at first, but one-shot sessions would be fun. I've really only played Pathfinder and D&D but would be open to other stuff too.

The Idle Book Club 19: What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
Lechimp replied to Argobot's topic in Idle Book Club Episodes
Is Cathedral what you would recommend reading next if people enjoyed this book? I don't know a whole lot about him but really enjoyed this book and want to read more. -
Yeah, I know. Paul Krugman posted an opinion piece for the New York Times this week basically calling out the NYT and other media for basically grading Trump on a curve and calling him presidential whenever he manages to not say something blatantly horrible. Obviously it's being done to make the race look closer and boost their ratings but it's done at the expense of hurting the country. Ugh.
-
I guess the way I phrased it was wrong and kind of harsh but man, I really didn't care for it at all. I still liked The Witness but also found it disappointing at the same time.
-
I need to stop looking at FiveThirtyEight and having panic attacks. I know she's still likely to win but it's ridiculous to me that it's even this close.
