    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    New statement: https://goodman-games.com/a-statement-about-city-state-of-the-invincible-overlord/ So the idea is that Bledsaw doesn't profit, and licensing royalties are instead earmarked for Kickstarter refunds? If so. It's a novel solution.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I wanted to say how heartbreaking all of this is, not only for reflecting badly on OSR, but on older D&D players in general. Our table's "Appendix N" back in the day would have included socially conscious media like Star Trek the Next Generation and X-men... And we just were a fairly open minded...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Wow, that looks pretty cool tbh. I recently made the decision to use OSE for a retroclone to homebrew (with bits of Shadowdark and Black Sword Hack). I'm going to pick it up to pick apart for homebrew. I started as a player with ad&d 2e back in '90 and have wanted to try out 1e.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    NuTSR keeps resorting to whataboutism, pointing at other incidents in the TTRPG community (Jameson Stone, Daisy Grant) and trying to suggest there is a double standard. It just doesn't work because the people condeming NuTSR are also condemning these other issues. what·a·bout·ism...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I wanted to jump in... in agreement with you on this particular part. Any use of safety tools where a constructive dialog is discouraged is a far from ideal use. The conversation can be later, in private, or however else the player prefers to minimize discomfort -- but it needs to happen...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    The entire NuTSR operation feels like 4-5 actual people and a bunch of sockpuppet accounts.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I do think some people are far more suggestable/seducable than others. I also think something like this could work as a game mechanic in a TTRPG, say a selectable flaw of "easily seduced" written in a orientation-neutral way that was tonally appropriate to the game setting and subject matter...

    Level Up (A5E) Misunderstanding something about encounter building

    I think I found my slip up. It's the "Low Level Adventurers and Low CR Monsters" rule. I didn't double the CR for the fractional monsters. I'll show myself out. lol

    Level Up (A5E) Misunderstanding something about encounter building

    I'm building a ECR3 fight using zombies for a 3rd level party. So if I was using all zombies, I would think it would use 12 zombies (CR 1/4 * 12 = 3). However I noticed something that made me unsure... The sample Zombie Encounters for CR 3-4 (MM p434) indicate some CR 3&4 solo mobs, but for a...

    Spelljammer 64-page Spelljammer books?

    The listing page on wizard's official announcement has each of the three books listed at 64 pages? That seems like a low count for the books descibed.

    I let this KS slip by me and was wondering if there's a way for latecomers to access this product. Thanks!
