The usual value is between 1X and 6X depending on the type of business/property. But, I suspect D&D will never be extracted from Hasbro, due to the value of the IP that they definitely saw in 2023 (movie, TV channel, Baldur's Gate 3). The best to hope for is that they spin off a D&D-focused...

Necromancing a very old thread, but I'm looking for a very specific Mortality Radio episode: #53 from March 19th, 2004, which has the only interview I've been able to find with Hunter Gordon of T20 and GRiP fame. Is there anyone that might have a copy of the MP3? (The original filename was...

They've been nuTSR to me for quite a while, but recently I've started to go with Fake TSR instead.

As far as I know, no, Feist has not acknowledged that "Empire of the Petal Throne was the source for much of Kelewan". One of the two articles referenced on that paragraph is my own, which states: The other referenced article says "According to people who claim to have corresponded with...

It sounds like you have good faith in your ability to suss out whether there might be Nazi tropes in Tékumel. From your description of your resume, that sounds accurate. But most people don't have those advantages. I think I might feel confident in my own ability to run a Tékumel game and to...

Obviously, I disagree. A few reasons: First, indoctrination can be subtle. It can be about suggesting a pattern of history: that it be about the actions of great men, that it depend on conflict. It can be about suggesting a norm for geopolitical states: that different races keep to...

I read that footnote to my wife with some disagree of exasperation and rhetorically asked, "How naughty word cowardly is that!?" Of course, I don't know anything about Amina Inloes or her situation c. 2017. At the age of 25 I likely would still have been susceptible to pressure not to ruin...

Appreciate the understanding. And I should note that what I remember about the negative reviews of GAZ10 were people who didn't like the Holloway drawings and who didn't like the jokes in the book not because they were racially insensitive, but instead because they felt like jokes didn't belong...

Thanks! If there's a product without my history, it's for one of two reasons. (1) Early on I had a compatriot in writing, Kevin Kulp, but he left the project after just a year or two. There was an interim where I hadn't yet taken over the products he was doing, and so some products ended up...

It wasn't a review, it was a historical overview of the supplement, albeit one written in July 2014: my perspective and discussion would be quite a bit different now given the discussion of biological essentialism that has mainstreamed since then. But I find it likely that what I described was...

I'd place the de facto announcement of Fake TSR back on October 2020 when the Dungeon Hobby Shop started trying to license TSR's old logos and trademarks, which Wizards now says they acquired fraudulently. https://www.tenkarstavern.com/2020/10/dungeon-hobby-shop-museum-claims.html PS: How is...

I agree; you could do troupe-style play with just about any game, and your example of how to do so in Traveller is great.

Over 100 fact-checkers, mostly people who worked at or ran the companies, went over the book. Fact checkers for the TSR article included Allan Grohe, Jeff Grubb, Scott Haring, Jim Lowder, Kim Mohan, Dori Olmesdahl, Steven Schend, Stephen D. Sullivan, James M. Ward, Steve Winter, and David Witts...

The book is arranged by company, so this sort of thing gets attention when it directly weaves into the history of a company. In the case of the Braunsteins, they get a couple of pages in the TSR article as part of the run-up to D&D. Most of the focus is on published RPGs, however.

Can anyone compare how the new PDFs match up to the Slumbering Tsar PDF that Necromancer Games had out last year? Was it part 1, part 1 chapter 1, or none of the above?
