Well, let’s look at it. Ravenloft is a full setting. It not only tends to have setting specific. Rules, but the original books were a training set to explain the idea of gothic horror to both gm and players. Dark sun can be reduced further, with much of the world being a result of the rules...

<shrugs> Then I can't really have a discussion about modern warfare. Mass-media has changed the landscape, as far as my consideration. I'll bow out, then.

Hence... "Ender's Game."

Not really relevant. Could you go more modern for your argument?

Interesting. The view of this article is about war at its most efficient and final. But that’s not how actual war works. Let’s be clear. Modern war has been transformed by a little thing called “mass communication.” You CAN obliterate a planet from orbit, but what is going to be the response...

I still remember seeing this on the saturday block and going... "Hmnn. He-man clone. I'm sure it will be..." Blows up a planet with people still on it and kills off a main character, takes the kid and stuffs him in an adult body, and shows consequences, bad ones, for the things being done...

Hmnn. Jester, “Joke me harder!” Lavorre, and the Quest for the Dust of Deliciousness?

I’m into some teeanger! <throws golf club> Ah, the 80s. More truth than fiction in that last age of latchdoor, feral children. The things I did make half the movies about that era seem tame by comparison. I guess there may have been some 80s kids who were bored, but darned if I never got that...

To be honest, daggerheart is showing sold out. Can’t be sure they made enough or what their books look like, but selling out of a product is usually seen as a good thing?

Not even a little bit. While I love dark Sun as a setting and flavor of D&D, it's pure poison in the current social climate. Even if they reuse the name, it will not be the dark Sun that was originally created. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but it's one that has been touched on...

“Oh look! Another thread that is going to devolve rapidly!” <Runs like a coward for the hills.>

Yes, that’s the key problem. A lot of the buyers are likely from a company that did not know that the photos were basically a lie, and bought them in good faith as fans of bg3. The result? WK being told in no uncertain terms the mass market will not put up with that crap, and now they’re...

Wow. That’s fast food burger levels of not matching the advertisement.

<looks up> bugger... What got everyone growling? Is their a cliff notes version of this? Or maybe I don't want to know?

Well, I got laid off from my job as a game designer at the beginning of the year. Several friends got laid off at the beginning of the previous year. Many of us have no jobs in that industry. I realized what was happening when I looked at the reports of thousands, if not tens of thousands in the...
