I always wanted to go to GenCon of course, but never did. As a Canadian, I recently decided that I’d much rather go to UKGE instead of venturing to the USA for anything. Didn’t start planning in time for this year, but I’m very seriously looking at UKGE for next year!

Your response sounds possibly sarcastic, but I agree with it unironically. Information overload is a major psychological force in the modern age!

Oof, $130 USD for PDFs? That’s certainly one way to keep people from supporting it

I don’t think this is a fair take. There’s a strong possibility that a lot of the people waiting to back this project haven’t heard a peep about the controversy. You’ve never been too busy with the rest of your life to fall behind on the latest TTRPG news? If you’ve ever backed a Goodman KS...

This seems to be the case, at least from our view as distant outsiders. It’s the best explanation that reconciles Joseph Goodman’s statements with the fact that this project is still continuing.

Yeah nothing kills my interest in someone’s creative “efforts” faster than AI slop. I didn’t need the author’s ideas to begin with, and apparently the author didn’t even have the ideas themselves anyway. Why would I pay for randomly generated mediocre content that just aggregates stolen content...

@Weiley31 lol The block even removes the quoted section from that user (Parmandur) from your message, so I literally still cant see what you replied to as long as I’m logged in. I’m even struggling to quote your message, but that might just be me. Anyway, thanks for indulging my question. I...

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I can see the post count skips #215 and #217 for me. Not sure what I said to earn someone’s block, but it certainly makes it hard to follow the conversation.

DCC is definitely pretty simple to play, but the caveat is that it’s not trying to emulate the exact experience of playing B/X. Rather, the system feels like it’s designed like a distilled experience of old school D&D—it generates the exciting moments of “Oh my god I can’t believe that worked!”...

…I’m confused by this comment. The thread’s not about OSE. It doesn’t look like you’re replying to anyone, and the previous comment is your own. Am I missing something?

I’m pretty disappointed about this, but also not really sure anything has changed from my perspective since last week. I don’t put much stock in anything Mr. Bledsaw has said, so I guess I don’t believe his account of these events. Goodman Games needs to cut this partnership immediately and...

Personally I agree with you, and I have a lot of objections to the frequently claims that “DCC isn’t OSR”. But it’s a pedantic debate anyway, and lots of people seem to think something is only “Old School Renaissance” if looks exactly like their favorite version of Basic D&D. I’ve seen people...

I had the opposite reaction, but tastes differ I suppose.

Goodman Games needs end this, like, yesterday. Even if everything said is a lie, it’s still dragging GG down with them.

I feel this in my bones Ah I’ve seen several attempts at this in real life and it never seems to be as good as imagined.
