It’s weird… do you think Elliot cares what OP’s pirated copies list their name as, when the legal copies on stream have already updated the name? Would it not be better to pay for the content and support the artist that way?

This is one of the strangest virtue signals I’ve ever seen. Just watch the mediocre show and move on.

They didn’t have most of Walking Dead when we looked into it last year. We would have had to sub to maybe 3 services to get a full rewatch.

It’s hard to not sound snarky here, but you could play another system that’s not seen as a commodity to be passed around Corps for profit.

I switched a couple years back, and honestly couldn’t see going back even before their licensing drama. As a GM, their books are so hard to make work, and expensive for what you get. D&D became too much of a product, and the game has suffered. 3rd party stuff has always had better value and usability compared to WotC books (few exceptions), and other systems give much better support for GM’s to actually run the game.

The coolest shit you do in D&D is the stuff you’re group comes up with at the table, and you get that with any system. Tencent also can’t buy that, so there’s nothing stopping you just playing 5th Edition, and not 6th (or One, whatever Marketing ends up calling it).

We have corporate protections in the USA.

You have the right instinct, narrative takes a backseat to player comfort. Don’t worry if it makes sense in-game, that’s not a real concern. Do whatever tying up of narrative threads you want, after you’re sure the player is comfortable out-of-game.

If the player wants, just let them start the next game with a new sheet. If they want to do a sendoff, do it at the top of the session. If they don’t want to acknowledge the old character, then they just evaporate and a new one is inserted.

Ultimately you’re playing with friends, and the reason everyone is there is to have fun. The group’s fun should take precedent over everything else.

Star wars 5e mod (i hope that’s the name) is dope as hell. They ran it for a season of Dimension 20, it looked really fun if you like the crunch.

If you don’t like base building, you’re opinion on NMS probably won’t change. I still enjoy it and fire it up a couple times a year, but the gameplay loops haven’t fundamentally changed and the survival elements are still pretty loose. I haven’t played the most recent updates from this year yet though.

Trying to bump those subscription numbers with teenage girls.
