otherwise we end up with another version of COBOL.

We’re already there, I don’t see VBA being phased out of accounting or finance for at least a decade and I’m not even sure then.

Another Sys Admin confirming that yes, the finance department runs nearly entirely on VBA. They would be lost without it.

The word choice of “subrace” is definitely not great but I could see this being used as inspiration for a fantasy creature.

There’s all kinds of mutated body horror creatures in ttrpg’s it’s not that weird.

I’m working on a half-slug half-man adventure module for instance.

Love my lawful evil setup, works great!

It’s still moving towards completion. At a snail’s pace but it’s moving. To their defense they’ve done some really cool tech with the game engine and stuff but idk if that justifies the timeline imo.

My money is spent regardless though, so I’ll zoom around in my leather interior ship whenever it does release.

Star Citizen might take the cake, I say as an original Kickstarter backer of Star Citizen.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you filthy Imperial? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in House Telvanni, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Black Marsh, and I have over 300 confirmed farm equipment kills. I am trained in Dunmer warfare and I’m the top battlemage in the entire Vvardenfell armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision spells the likes of which has never been seen before in this realm, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across Cyrodiil and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the ash storm, scrib. The ash storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with conjuration. Not only am I extensively trained in alchemical combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Sixth House and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn N’wah. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Brought to you by the Great House Telvanni.

Ah, a fellow N’wah.

bags of holding.

It’s true. The character in my current campaign has two bags of holding and a bag of devouring.

I don’t remember the last time I’ve ran a game RAW. There’s always a tweak or two that’s useful to customize things for each table.

I wouldn’t go that far.

random US city response, probably

Not random. You just described Houston, Texas.

Nice, some of my material is also ttrpg related so that’s especially helpful haha Thanks!

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It’s on my shelf as I type this.

It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

Mind if I ask what a better option would be? Looking to release some work myself in the next year and was going to start looking at which options would be best.

Everything you described is very common in fan fics and why I called it as such. I don’t disagree with your points (most of them), but I do disagree with the severity of the condemnation for those points. I thought it was fine, not stellar, not terrible, it was fine and enjoyable for what it was. A high budget fan fic made by people who respected the lore but wanted to do their own take. Which is what Rankin/Bass and Jackson both did as well. Those are fun too. A huge amount of book fans were livid with Jackson for the changes he made in his adaptation too when the films released. If you think ROP is inaccurate then definitely don’t go back and watch the Rankin/Bass cartoons, you might blow a gasket.

Yeah, I enjoyed my watch of LOTR: ROP. I’m a big Tolkien fan too. I read the trilogy and hobbit once a year and the silmarillion once every three or four (it’s dense af). ROP wasn’t an accurate adaptation, but it’s a fun fan fic that I felt was respectful to original material. Plus it has some awesome visuals and great sound track. There’s definitely things to criticize about it. It’s far from a perfect show, but it’s not bad. I’ll probably do another watch through when the next season gets closer to being released.

WOT though, it hurt my heart…

Say what you will about W (there’s a lot to criticize) but he was quick with those dodges lol
