I have a player like this. He always specs out all the options on spreadsheets and tries to find the optimum builds for any RPG we play. Which is fine, but I got really tired of him telling everyone else how to play their characters in D&D that we've only been playing other RPGs for the past few years where build optimization is less of a thing.

3900 games here.

I guess it's time to switch to Linux finally.

That wasn't Good Will Hunting, that was The Dead Poets Society.

This is why I liked the how Torture skill in Burning Wheel does just this: you decide what the victim says. It's not true, it's just what they admit to.

I can't wait!

Don't give up skeleton!

Aww 😞

Even if I don't directly use each book, I might find ideas and inspiration in them that I can bring back to the games I do run. This has happened plenty of times. Besides, they can be fun to read. This goes for old books too. Numerous times I've adapted old material for new games.

Fair point! I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just interesting to me cause I'm not used to it. I usually run D&D as medieval (like ~1300 AD) European fantasy with magic and a little bit of anachronistic renaissance stuff.

As someone who's been DMing for 30+ years, it's really interesting to me when people have anachronistic stuff like coffee shops in D&D.

The "Iv'e" bothers me more than it should.

Doesn't look like it, unfortunately. But it's planned. Kotlin can also compile to JavaScript with DOM manipulation. I've not tried either scenario, myself.

It's in alpha, but there is a Kotlin to wasm compiler in the works.

I didn't notice the title at first and thought this was about shrinkflation. One is 69g and the other is 82g.

I'm not even religious and I feel this is blasphemous.

No, they hire a lot of temporary foreign workers from India.

That's what Tim Hortons did in Canada!

Oh yeah, epitome for me too. It was the epi-tome.

The one that I mispronounced for awhile was hyperbole. I thought it was pronounced like "hyper bowl."

Maybe...
