When I first saw this, my initial thought was there is going to be a large and noticeable void in gaming availability to the public for the next several months or year or years. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but that's a lot of publishers who aren't getting their immediate product out, and won't...

As a huge introvert, there’s a big difference in me saying “that’s so cool I’d love to experience that” and “oh crud, now I have to actually commit to going to a strangers house and talk to people for hours”

Thanks! Shooting for Aug 1 being creative. And doing as much work myself as possible. The wooden boxes and minis are all done by me. But the reality is that they will cost more than I'd like. The 100 print run of the color cardboard boxes will be $100, and the limited 10 wooden boxes will be...

From a designer and publisher's standpoint, as we gamers are aging, I get a more and more feedback about using highlighted bullet points of the important stuff so it's easier to find, and to use use larger font. The days of 10pt TW Cent font for those AD&D books is long gone.

Yesterday I did an unboxing video for Bugbears & Borderlands 2e. I wanted to post here, because the some of the content was decided on based on feedback from several of you users. Like including a USB drive with the digital files. I can't speak for every designer or publisher, but I love...

Let me clarify. No required setting and more use of a homebrew setting among players. That is, players created their own world and adventures. The core game treated a setting like an afterthought and not core to the actual game itself.

Ah,to be young and just go on road trips with your friends in an old van. Been there myself ;)

You can see him trembling. I feel bad for him, because that had to be torturous. Doesn't work for me either.

When Todd was laid off, I was wondering if either Makenzie De Armas or Amanda Hamon would take up those reigns. It looks like it. Not sure who Ben Petrisor is, and he looked a little...uncomfortable in front of the camera.

Art is supposed to create an emotional reaction or feeling. Sometimes that's uncomfortable. Most often it's not. I love art. I'm an artist myself. All the art I like doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, it makes me feel inspired, or impressed, or sparks good feelings. I don't think I'm an outlier.

Small world. I went to high school in Hillsboro, OR. Of course, back then Hillsboro had a population of 35,000. Now? 110,000. Of course, Intel's investment probably had a lot to do with that, with not 1, not 2, but 4 large campuses in Hillsboro.

My opinion is much of what has already been said, so for purposes of confirmation bias... ;) 1. OSR is a clone of the older game, not the games themselves, that stress: rulings over rules (not to be conflated with rules-lite, as a rules heavy game like 1e is still very much come up with your...

Every time the subject comes up about aging in my group of friends, or how certain friends always look younger than others, one my good friends always says, "Black don't crack." (She's black, btw).

Do they? D&D and PF are still pretty popular at conventions. Not a lot of "new" games. But SD is definitely up there, maybe even more popular than PF, depending on the convention. I'll have to go run some data now.... ;) So not extensive data, but Origins just happened, and I looked up how...
