I’m glad it’s not just me. It’s like they don’t want anyone using the site.

Your website is unusable on mobile, IGN. I have to close a bunch of ads just to scroll through and then halfway through the article the whole page reloads to the top and all the ads are back.

So the developers who make story-focused walking sims made…*checks notes*…a story-focused railroad.

It checks out.

The theme song from the second game still haunts my dreams.

Your article opens with a spoiler.

Hey @polygon.com you have ads on your articles that auto-play sounds which are hard to turn off on mobile. Won’t be clicking on any of your articles for a while because of it.

YESSS LET’S GOOOO!

Seriously though, I’ve been loving all three of the first sets and can’t wait to finally have good maps for other planes etc. They get regular use at our house!

Oh my god. I’m so sorry. I’m just a lurker on this app but I’ve been following your articles for years. So terribly sorry to hear this and I hope you land somewhere much better.

Oooo that’s a good one! I distinctly remember learning the word “polecat” from that book! 😂

Favorite Redwall book? I think mine might be Mariel of Redwall.

Every sweeping generalization about the stage side of things in this piece is wrong…

*Dungeondraft 😅 Hero Forge for custom minis when needed. Into the Wilds map books from Tom Cartos. Have used Tabletop Audio extensively but I don’t like that it lacks good combat track options.

We have LOTS of supplemental books and we play other systems occasionally (VTM 5e, DCC, Savage Worlds) but these are what we use the most. Campaign books are less important than modular content that can fit homebrew settings and stories. Roll20 back when we played online.

Wonderdraft and Dingeondraft. Bardify on YT for music. Xanathar’s and Volo’s for extra 5e stuff. The 5e monster, spell, and item cards, which we keep in baseball card pocket sheets. Wooden spell slot & ability tokens that I custom made. All the dice, minis, and custom terrain-making supplies.

I bought *two* overpriced Starbucks pastries this morning. There are no rules today.

The hunger system makes it risky to use your powers, and the rules of the Masquerade mean that you can’t always use them when you want to. Superheroes don’t usually have any checks to their power *built into their own powers* like vampires do in most versions. Anyway, interesting read!

It’s really interesting that this didn’t mention Vampire the Masquerade, because to me that *is* a superhero game where you play as overpowered characters in a world of squishy mortals. But it works (and this why it’s worth discussing with this topic) because there is a cost to using one’s abilities
