Must have experience ruining an IP, managing an on-going dumpster fire, and routinely angering fans. Background with Pinkertons a plus.

It's fun to see the classics reimagined and updated. I've been playing with the same morons friends for more than 40 years, and we have a blast when we revisit old adventures that we played as kids. Also, a lot of what's new isn't terribly appealing to me (and to others). So, I get it if this...

GG is a good company and I am happy to buy their stuff because I like it. There does not seem to be ill-intent here, so I'm moving on. Peace, friends!

I was summarizing!

So don't buy it. Really. That's it. And if you think Goodman Games is in the wrong, don't buy their stuff anymore. They made a choice. So can you.

I am watching a video about the designer's process and thinking as she made her game. It's super interesting. She's a nice human, or so it seems to me.

Who/what problematic things/people did Troll Lords ignore, if you don't mind my asking? I just heard about the Goodman Games-Judges Guild issue today. (Also: not snark!)

I think your grants to schools, @SlyFlourish, are a wonderful thing (and my school in particular benefited from your generosity!) We have 30-40 kids each week playing D&D. I'd love to teach them different games, too, but D&D is still the big dog in the market. I hope other publishers will do...

Higher wages gives greater buying power, which also increases demand...and increases employment. Unless higher wages cause lower employment due to...

I don't blame you in the least. What's happening is terrible. If you are Canadian (I think you are?) please accept my apology on behalf of the Americans who want nothing to do with this insanity.

It is good for them, and good for those of us who play their game and buy their products. But I can tell you, since my wife has books being printed in China, that the IP theft there is endemic. It's not a bug: it's a feature. The less US business China gets, the better.

I don't know how I missed that reply, but thank you for reminding me. What an a*sshole.

That's pretty f'ing gross, Mannahnin. What a tool.
