    Update: Sadly Jennell passed away Jan 10, 2024. Jennell Jaquays, one of the founding creators of this hobby, needs our help.

    Yeah, several people (Including Jayson Elliot and Jolly Blackburn) posted on their "tribute" saying they should update it to the correct pronoun and name. Their response? Delete all their posts.

    D&D General Luke Gygax Brings Back Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg

    My dad was the executor for his mother's will, and there was a similar thing with that with funds being allocated for various expenses.

    D&D General Luke Gygax Brings Back Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg

    That was it, thanks! I think part of it also was that us, the audience, were intensely frustrated at the wait for the actual dungeons. A dungeon we could immediately use in ANY setting, in any campaign. Even the Upper Works is largely redone material we'd already seen in the older TSR products...

    D&D General Luke Gygax Brings Back Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg

    Yeah, I remember that. I also remember thinking that Gary seemed... reluctant to actually publish the dungeons. Possibly because his original notes had a lot of zany stuff that he didn't necessarily want shared out in publication. I think Rob Kuntz was brought on to the project at one point as...

    D&D General Luke Gygax Brings Back Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg

    My brother had a copy of the Upper Works on pre-order from TLG. Sadly he wasn't one of the lucky ones to get his mailed out before the estate shut it all down. I thought Yggsburgh was all right. What we all really wanted was the dungeons. Has Luke or anyone from TLG given an indication of how...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    That's what people who were at the hearing said, but... Zoom DOES have a tendency to delay a bit, which makes interrupting people easy. My family does a Zoom call every Sunday and I constantly get talked over which is frustrating. Most of those who talked about the hearing are entangled in...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    While this definitely doesn't sound like great news for Justin... I would suggest we stay cautious. My girlfriend worked for over a decade in debt collection and actually knows quite a bit about bankruptcy. (So much that when she quit and got a job that was a lot less toxic on the soul, one of...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Man, I couldn't have kept a straight face... "This con is BETTER? Seriously?" I wonder if anyone who had pre-ordered Dungeon Crawl and not received it showed up to claim their copy? As in "You never mailed it, so I'm taking it now. Nope, here's my proof of receipt, I owe you nothing, YOU owe me...

    I was wondering if Dinehart was going to show up at Gary Con at all... seems like if he wanted to promote Giantlands he'd have been there. Jim Ward certainly was.

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    Another factor is probably the Spelljammer incident with the Hadozee controversy. Mind you, that's ALL on them. Someone wasn't doing their job.

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    I'm certain the morality clause is in there because of Star Frontiers: New Genesis. Sure it wasn't released. But just the threat of such a product tarnishing the D&D brand would scare the crap out of any suit. THAT said, I agree with James Raggi on why it's a bad idea to have a morality clause...

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    I re-played Planescape: Torment recently, and it made me realize that the setting should not return, at least not in it's past form. The first problem is what Planescape was made for, which was to counter White Wolf's clan approach with Vampire: The Masquerade. That's why there are factions in...
