Here in the United States, we've got the business judgement rule. It's the legal principal the protects executives from liabilities for good faith decisions in regards to running the company. Unless the plaintiff is able to make a case for malfeasance such as insider trading, a breach of...

It's a valid point-of-view. A copy of Rifts from Palladium will set you back $40 which is the equivalent of $16.50 in 1990 (the year Rifts was first published). I do think there are more purchasers interested in nice looking books with high quality paper, art, and layout than there are those...

I regret my Savage Worlds Rifts Kickstarter. I received everything promised, so I've got no hard feelings against Palladium or PEG, Inc. It's just that running a Rifts game, even in Savage Worlds, is difficult, and I only played one campaign before deciding I wasn't going to run any more.

Circa 1990, I came up with a brilliant idea. I asked a friend of mine to run a game of Delta Force except we've got to content with zombies like in Dawn of the Dead. My friend thought that was the stupidest idea in the world but the truth is I was a genius ahead of my time. For those of you...

In terms of purchasing power, that $10.95 in 1977 was equivalent to $60.00 in 2026, so the price of D&D hasn't kept up with inflation. I'm of the school of thought that gaming continues to be a relatively inexpensive hobby and the production quality has continued to go up.

Ditto. The majority of my miniatures look much better in person. So far only one looks a bit better photographed than it did in person. Nice dragon!

I can't help but look at your three points and wonder what that has to do with the secondary market. Maybe I have the wrong idea of what makes up the secondary market because what you describe above is what I think of as the regular market. The producer sells the packaged cards to the...

This one really, really confuses me. What specifically is Hasbro's concern with the secondary market for Magic cards? I could see it being a problem if Hasbro is obfuscating where their money is being made. Imagine if you were to invest in Hasbro thinking they had various viable lines of...

In the original toy line, each action figure (definitely not dolls) came with a comic book. It was thought boys needed something explaining the lore to keep them interested in the product. Those comics were quite different from the cartoon, with He-Man being a more Conanesque, savage barbarian...

Shady Sands can rest easy knowing this stalwart New California Republic Ranger stands vigilant.

Terrible pacing and contradictory plot elements describes a lot of books I've read and movies I've watched. In Blade Runner, the day is divided into three (I think) shifts and a character can only do such much investigating every shift. While a character doesn't have to rest for one shift, if...

And he keeps popping up on my Facebook feed! Did you guys cast a spell or something?
