Hope they don’t go down the enshittification rabbit hole anytime soon.

Apparently they’re transitioning to a non-profit business model

Adventures aren’t that tied to the exact rules. You’ll still be able to use it with the final system when it comes out.

You’re misreading. The starter set (aka the free bit) is part of the playtest

Plus, the biggest concern regarding the deflection of blow by plate armor was lances. A lance blow is often described as having the momentum of both the rider and the horse behind it (not quite true, but certainly more than just the knight). That is a lot of force for a body to absorb

There is only once context of actual use where this is true: jousting. And this is because it was a sport that the competitors expected to walk away from.

Apart from that, what you said is a complete myth. Mobility what highly important on the battlefield, and armorers had to keep that in mind throughout the middle ages. There are many instances where troops acquire or are given pieces of armor that they later discard because it was too heavy or hindered them, and the weight you’re imagining is not all that great. And this is not a problem unique to the middle ages - it still happens up to the modern day

As for full plate, it’s not actually as heavy as you think it is because there are a lot of shaping techniques used to gain the maximum amount of strength for the least amount of weight. Generally Late Medieval full plate harness weighed 35-55lb Source

There are medieval reenactment groups such as the Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) or Historical Medieval Battle (HMB) where people will regularly wear armor and fight. I myself do this, and my kit fluctuates between 40-55lb depending on what I’m fighting with that day. Adding that to my body weight results in a total of about 200lb, and dare you to claim that people at that weight can’t move around.

What’s even funnier is that groups like HMB tend to have armor that’s significantly heavier than the medieval period because they need their armor to last a lot longer. In period, men at arms only needed their armor to last a few battles, while reenactors look to use their armor on a weekly-to-monthly basis for years

Technically they also prevented mental damage to the players from the pun

In Pathfinder the “good” dragons can be just as fucked up. One set up a “perfect society” for humanoid races on an island, where the government performs eugenics and brainwashing and banishes anyone that shakes off the brainwashing

Yet you still see people grumbling about how restrictions on chinese EV imports are just “American/Western Imperialism”, since people apparently don’t understand how valueable domestic production is

It’s there to continue inflating Nvidia stocks now that crypto crashed (again)

And it’s pretty consistent for Linus too. He’s been making this rant on WAN show since ChatGPT started gaining traction

Moonlight is also capable of 4k streaming

but damn if it isn’t extremely effective at sending information out of reach from governments

It’s not particularly better at it than most other social media sites/apps

Well, not digital piracy. Ye olde piracy absolutely was stealing, plus a medley of other crimes

You say that as if the garbage gets downvoted
