Mine isn't exactly a player. Twenty-plus years ago my group played after-hours in the FLGS, and so I was not in control of the space and who was allowed in. Anyway, I had a hard and fast rule that a prospective player had to sit in for one full session before it was decided to let him join; if...

This thread has moved me to tailor an L5R campaign (using a different system) to my group. We won't get to it for a year or so, but there's no reason to miss out when you can adapt. WH 40k remans, but the lore is so dense I feel like the only way to run it is with the provided rules, and Dark...

True, but the key is just a dash. Not the steampunk nonsense of Deadlands, no magic, no spells, just bad people doing horrible things in a covert but organized fashion. No non-human creatures, no shamblers or Deep Ones. That keeps it from being 'weird'. They didn't have a term for serial...

This is the problem with fictional depictions of torture: they treat torture as an end unto itself. {Pedantic rant follows] The point of 'extreme interrogation practices' is to get the subject talking. That's it. From that point, it is simply interrogation, and anything a subject says is...

I've run several long campaigns in the Old West. The key is a dash of Lovecraft.

To be fair, he was commenting on my post, where I noted a shortage of pirate adventures, not setting material.

If disney and warner brothers use Diamond, stopping this would cost them money. If they could stop it. This is how bankruptcies are done.

Ouch. I suppose pdfs are out of the question?

Thanks. The last time I bought a comic book, it was fifty cents.

Are comics a larger industry that RPGs? Never caught the habit.

Was Diamond big enough to warrant that interest? I know it was big in the RPG industry, but that's a shallow pool.

Looks like the last payroll was met, so they are clear in this case. Otherwise, generally screwed is the usual outcome.

Actually, I didn't, but you are probably right.
