    Cartoon TTRPG 'Toon' Set to Return with New Second Edition

    I will probably back this one, despite having a fair bit of the older material. I've seen chatter that it's going to be "modernized," though. Streamlined, or something. Been a while since I looked, but I do not remember this one being at all crunchy lol.

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo. Update: Beta releaseed.

    I had expected one when Wizards pulled the plug on those Star Frontiers fan sites... This isn't "modernizing" or "streamlining," this is completely replacing. Leaving aside the entirely subjective question of whether ANA is good or not, these rules are seemingly not descended from any iteration...

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo. Update: Beta releaseed.

    Pretty sure you're not getting the point I was trying to make about the "humor." I was specifically referring to the racist spell name, "Yassa Massa", which Corgi inexplicably left intact. In fact, Corgi's re-naming of spells was utterly baffling. Renaming some spells, presumably for being too...

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo. Update: Beta releaseed.

    I agree, but the overall tone is a lot less "cynical," and it's a noticeable difference. I recently saw someone describe T&T as "low fantasy in a high magic setting," and that was probably the best short description I've seen since Ken's "Lord of the Rings, as it might have been told by Marvel...

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo. Update: Beta releaseed.

    Rebellion Unplugged's largest tabletop Kickstarter (Joyride) brought in a little less than Deluxe T&T. Their only roleplaying kickstarter, for Tiny in the Tower (granted, it didn't have an established name attached), brought in roughly 10% of what Deluxe T&T did.

    I can't think of a worse fit for D&D than Traveller. But I feel that way about D&D for anything that isn't... well, D&D. No one is arguing that Rebellion doesn't own T&T, or that they can't do what they like with it. That'd just be silly. It's perfectly natural to compare and even criticiize...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There's a sleazy '90s Aussie vampire flick called Bloodlust. The soundtrack is made up entirely of Ministry side projects.

    Not sure any of these have had continuous and compatible rulesets as long as T&T, but this kind of reinforces my point. As I've said previously (here or elsewhere, I can't remember), games that take an established set of rules with a fanbase and make sweeping changes are rarely popular or...

    Burger me!

    Best burger I ever had was at a dive/biker type bar called Maggie Mae's in Salina, Kansas. It was called the Five Alarm Burger. A patty with chopped habanero inside, topped with raw jalapeno, cilantro, and honey, on a pretzel bread bun. 2nd best was at a now-closed place in Austin called Big...
