    Kickstarter Psionics RPG Kickstarter!

    Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know about the Kickstarter that my company is running for Psionics, an RPG about troubled youth with psychic powers. Inspired by "Akira," "Firestarter," "Galerians," "Carrie," and "Scanners," Psionics features characters with emotional problems dealing with...

    Low Fantasy RPG?

    I know it's been mentioned before, but I wanted to put my vote in for HERO. We were playing a very successful low fantasy campaign with HERO 5e until one of our players moved to Florida (boo!). I very much enjoyed the way that hit locations fit in with the milieu of low fantasy, and it made me...

    What's up with international shipping on Kickstarter?!?

    Be careful with that! I've found from Kickstarter that a surprising amount of international folks will be interested in your project - I would say about 50% or more of our backers are international. I would be leery of cutting out that demographic completely. Instead, try to do the math for...

    Can you separate an author from his or her work?

    To answer the original post, this is something I wrestle with. There are a lot of brilliant creators who are horrible or just jerky people in their day to day lives. I often remember the story about Thoreau. The only one who gave a damn about him was Emerson, because Thoreau was known as a lazy...

    What's up with international shipping on Kickstarter?!?

    Ugh, I wish so much that international shipping wasn't such a gouge. We're running a kickstarter now and were warned to take international shipping into account. I didn't realize what a big deal it was until we had to send some books to one of our illustrators in Portugal. It put me out of...

    Harlot Table - Was it REALLY in D&D??

    Okay, put in a context like that, it seems a bit less outlandish! The way it's been portrayed seemed to be like it was adjoining random monster encounter tables :P. [/COLOR][/INDENT][/COLOR]

    Stigma and Parental backlash

    I feel quite lucky that I grew up raised by two gamers. In fact, almost everyone on my dad's side of the family plays rpgs. I have an aunt and uncle who went to Gen Con all the time when they were younger. But my dad did almost get fired once because he was seen DMing a tournament at a mall, so...

    Harlot Table - Was it REALLY in D&D??

    Hey! Apologies if this has been asked before. I recently was linked to the Vice article about female gamers, which referenced a "random harlot encounters" table that was supposedly in the first edition of D&D, put there by Gary Gygax. My friend maintains that the table was actually from FATAL...

    Best Science Fiction RPGs

    I gotta shill for a moment about my own game, The Singularity System, which is setting-neutral and has really fun vehicle and starship combat. If anyone wants me to go further into it, I totally will. I can talk an ear off about that game. But I still loves me some Shadowrun and Eclipse Phase...

    How to deal with this DM?

    I understand your hesitance to make a big deal out of this. A lot of times, people get made uncomfortable and just "suck it up" or "deal with it" in silence because they don't want to rock the boat. I'd probably hazard a guess that some others in your group may feel the same way, and are...

    Wanna come work out with me? (Seminar for fitness "newbs" and oldbies alike)

    Both are just an hour long. The seminar is on Friday at noon, at ICC Sagamore 5. The workshop is on Sunday at 10:00 am, ICC 206. At least that's what it is now. They've been moving the space around somewhat. :)

    Wanna come work out with me? (Seminar for fitness "newbs" and oldbies alike)

    Hey guys! So right now I have two unfilled slots - my Fitness for Freelancers seminar (SEM1343194), and the corresponding workshop (WKS1343195). They're looking a wee bit sparse, and while I wouldn't terribly mind cancelling the workshop (sleep is good!), I wanted to shout out and see if anyone...
