Automotive developers successfully switched from barely-knowing-C to barely-knowing-C++. Surely, they will be equally successful in switching to barely-knowing-Rust.
Orcs in Tolkien’s work were rather a stand in for German soldiers since he fought them in WW1. Gygax simply sourced monsters from everywhere. Only later they became elevated to sentient beings and a playable race… uh… species now (D&D 2024).
I'd say "character vs character" is fine as long as as the "players" are both fine.
Thanks. It really feels like a friendly community here for me.
Thanks 😊
Danke für die Rechenarbeit! :)
Die 116k sind weniger als mein Bauchgefühl gesagt hat, aber 80 erscheint mir auch etwas früh.
Ich würde aber mal schätzen, dass jemand mit staatlicher Rente plus Wohneigentum und frisch verrented (also noch ordentlich Lebenserwartung) schon leicht über die 1Mio kommt.
Wieviel Vermögen ist denn, sagen wir mal, 2000€ mtl. staatliche Rente im Alter von 70 Jahren?
Ich finde ja 1Mio etwas knapp unter der Annahme, dass Rentenansprüche, Eigenheim, u.ä. eingerechnet wird. Falls man es nicht einrechnet wäre es unfair.
I’ve seen many a good wargame and wargamer spoiled thanks to the fair sex. I’ll detail that if anyone wishes. -Gygax
There is clearly more than dragon alignment. Apparently, Gygax has made some bad experiences and calls out women as a threat to his wargaming (i.e. ttrpg) hobby. It also doesn't seem to be an off-hand mention since he dares his readers to ask for more.
Btw he wrote this years before he even met Lorraine Williams, so more bad experiences ahead. He was married for nearly twenty years at the time of this quote. Not sure if that means anything.
I like that many (all?) of the Mausritter one pagers have a d6 table of hooks when using it for a one shot. It gives a little randomization to the start and can result in very different stories.
Luke seems to have campaigns in mind where characters bring context and background.
Web access doesn’t work for months now and the admin has disappeared.
Looking at all the responses here, it is a quite successful troll post.
