  • That's a pretty good testimonial. Thank you for taking the time to share it with me.

  • They do make communication more efficient, as long as everyone understands the definition. If they don't, then acronyms and initials quickly make the communication inefficient, or worse, make the person that isn't in the know feel excluded. In my professional life, I spend a lot of my time translating acronyms and trying to help people navigate the confusion of not knowing what things mean and wondering if they're in over their head, all due to the constant use of jargon.

    My suggestion is to definite your acronyms the first time you use them or, if it's a short message, spell the whole thing out and don't mention the abbreviation at all.

  • I don't know what the implied demographic is, but I assume I am not in it. I suppose that vibe is part of why I don't feel the desire to venture further into the fediverse.

  • My collection of games I don't play continues to grow. The Pirates of Drinax bundle is a pretty good haul. If I ever convince my group to play Traveller for a campaign, it will likely be that.

  • I would have assumed the audience for this post is TTRPG nerds.

  • What is a pigeon totem? It sounds made up.

  • For anybody else that hates needless acronyms, FOSS apparently stands for Free and Open Source Software.

  • Thank you for continuing to share these!

  • To clarify for others considering, the sale is for the PDF. I would be more likely to get this if it was a hard copy.

  • I am in the same boat as you. I looked at this and thought about buying it but, I don't need it so I didn't. I could be convinced otherwise but I would rather buy more sourcebooks that I may or may not read/use.

    www.enworld.org Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.2 Is Officially Live

    The new System Reference Document (SRD) for Dungeons & Dragons' revised 5th Edition is officially live. The new SRD was officially released and is available for download on D&D Beyond. A FAQ detailing changes from the previous SRD was also released. The SRD provides a version of D&D's rules...

  • Yes, original Battletech was simulating large scale mech warfare with collectible minis (let's face it though, most people just liked to paint and have them). The Battletech RPG (to my understanding) is that flavor adapted to a TTRPG.

    If you like mechs and video gaming, I encourage you to check out the MechWarrior series. It is the video game adaptation of Battletech.

  • The site appears to be back up now.

    And yes, at the very basic level, all these settings involve mechs. Lancer would probably be closer in theme to Evangelion, if you wanted to run it that way. Battletech would be a crunchy cousin, due to its roots as a war game.

  • I would like an excuse to buy Battletech, but just can't do it when I could play Lancer instead. Can anyone convince me I'm wrong?

  • I think I'll try this. Thanks for sharing!

  • You are welcome. I think the awareness of potential deals outweighs the risk of being spammy.

  • One of the player characters is a clone that was grown in a mindflayer laboratory.

  • If you’re a Cyberpunk RED player, please skip this post - it contains spoilers for Tales of the Red: Reaping the Reaper.

    Well now I'm going to come back and read this extra hard.

    These sale and freebie posts from ENWorld were the most valuable part of the now defunct Blog Roll (at least to me). I'm going to start posting them here unless someone tells me not to.
