I want to read that book, but man! Pricey.

I'm trying to get away from settings created by others in general (I mostly run fantasy games set in the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Hyboria, etc.) I want something as system agonistic as possible for the sci-fi game I'm kicking around in my head.

Hello, friends. I have just purchased Deluxe Traveller, the old 1e box from 1983. I have never played Traveller before, and I am looking forward to getting to know the system, playing around with some campaign building based on old school pulp scifi, and generally nerding the f'out. I would love...

Someone needs to intervene for that poor bastard on X. He is having a serious mental health crisis.

Fortunately my players are all my age, too, so they also suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t).

I'm 56. The thing I've noticed most is that my verbal word recall when I am GMing a game is getting harder. I'm trying to describe a thing, and I'm like "...uh, it's a...uh...you know, a...uh." I also start things, forget that I started them, think of a great idea, go to start it, then realize I...

This is cool, thank you!

1,413 pages!?!?!?! Has anyone had their mind changed about...anything? I think I commented back on page 41 (such days we had back then, friends, such days!)

Once I sat down and actually did it, I was astonished at what came into my imagination just based on random rolls. Like a mini-campaign came to life. It was really fun, and made me realize how infrequently I actually sit down and let my imagination flow. Now I want to do something similar for...

In the OD&D Dungeon Master's Guide, there is a way to generate random hexes in order to create a regional map. I have owned that book since 1982 or something, and I never sat down and used those tables until a few weeks ago. It is a blast! Total creativity pump. Now I am wondering if anyone has...

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.
