    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The rich people pay a lot of money for their kids to have good schools. So private schools and some universities have bags of money. Football is also a money maker. The public schools are funded through local taxes, which people in the US hate more than anything, so almost always vote against...

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    Pick which bits of media you're going to draw the most from, grab your system of choice, an encyclopedia or wiki, and go. Whatever system is put out will get endless complaints about how it should have been a different system, with different dice.

    Where Complexity Belongs

    Despite the post being a joke, I agree. Anything with more than a few pages of rules belongs in a museum.

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    Whoever does Star Wars next should make it a rules-light game that’s easy to play so it can be used to onboard new gamers to the hobby. It’s one of the biggest media franchises on Earth and could bring a lot of people into the hobby. If only it were designed with non-gamers or novice gamers in...

    Masters of the Universe | Official Trailer

    Exactly. If it was a cartoon in the 80s, then it was a long commercial for toys.

    Masters of the Universe | Official Trailer

    Neat. I’m all for more goofy, gonzo science fantasy stuff. Looks better than the 80s movie. I couldn’t care less about the Earth connection.

    Yeah, people do a lot of odd mental gymnastics to avoid supporting their argument.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That's where I am, too. In the end, one takes priority. And it's (almost) always optimization. The player who's built an optimization monster might have a few scenes where they RP really, really well...but when faced with a situation where they have to pick one or the other, they'll (almost)...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    Exactly. Ignoring the problem won't make it go away.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Weirdly, in over 40 years of playing and running RPGs with lots of people I've yet to meet a single person who's actually good at both. A lot of people online say they're good at both, but I've never actually seen it in the real world.

    What are you reading in 2026?

    Just finished Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! It’s a great read if you like orks in WH40k. Lots of nice insight and lore drops on the hows and whys of orks. Well written with good use of chapters, POV characters and changes, etc. Something about certain tie-in novels that just sings...

    Pick a game element and add baseball. NPCs with baseball-player names, or corrupted versions of names. A rival adventuring party that's baseball themed, like one of the gangs from The Warriors. Monsters who're baseball themed. A baseball team, either of NPCs or monsters. A baseball game down in...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    What’s even more funny is switching back to The Fiend without a Face. Fiend for one hour. Godzilla for ~30 minutes. Then back to Fiend. I’m cackling but my wife is less than impressed.

    Hearing early reports that American intellectual and socialist Michael Parenti has died. So long and thanks for all the books, comrade.

    Today I learned +

    TIL cowboys are not a US original. The whole thing comes from the vaqueros of Spain and Mexico. The word buckaroo is a corruption of vaquero. Ranch is from the Spanish rancho. Rodeo is a Spanish word. So all those white people in cowboy hats and boots are LARPing as Mexican vaqueros.

    RPG Print News – Traveller, Mothership, Twilight Imperium RPG, and More

    Easily the best referee book I’ve read in years. Worth every penny and definitely useful beyond running sci-fi and horror.
