Fair enough :)

The Marmoreal project has been taken over by Troll Lord Games. It is thanks to them that the project has made some progress and the main module PDF has been distributed to backers.

I think it's the opposite. The new TSR has sub-licensed the trademark to the person that publishes the new edition of Top Secret.

Yep. I also listen to Mozart and (pre-Covid), when I went to the Auditorium in Rome to listen to Mozart's music live there has always been an audience quite diverse in age.

Well, I backed the Marmoreal KS because I wanted (what I thought would be) a cool dungeon and some environs, certainly not because of this political garbage, of which I was actually unaware back then, so I must say that I did not appreciate this comment, even though I get where you're coming from.

I'm playing an extremely obscure Italian game called Scum 'n Glory. The game leaves me quite cold, but I like the group and the adventure, so I'm sticking with it.

I don't think Exandria is the revisited setting, because that is going to be developed by Mercer (even if it is published by WotC) and the language, IMHO, points to something in-house. My heart would say Greyhawk, since it has been visited in Ghosts of Saltmarsh. But I think it is going to be FR.

The Marmoreal Kickstarter is really shameful and I'm surprised (but maybe not) that it is not a scandal in OSR circles. Ernie basically just gave his name to be used (I think much like what is going on with this supposed "New TSR") and the whole work was by Benoist Poire, who is incredibly slow...

Time is also wonky in our universe. Contemporaneity only works locally...

Prepared/known spells and spell slots. I've seen this trip a few players.

For sure! My friends and I were all around 12 when we started playing and we certainly felt that we were of the right age! :) If I'm not mistaken, there has been a period in which the active player base has been older, but it was, correctly, seen as crisis for the sector...

Very interesting, as usual. Is there any data for forum users?

But what happens in the opposite case? You say that you play 5e, but fail the test? Surely the WotC elite commandos would hunt you down...

Yes, all those die-hard 2e players that wanted to infiltrate the survey by pretending to play 5e. But no, they fell into the clever trap and gave themselves away with THAC0!

This is certainly possible, but overall it was just a strange survey. What with all the detailed questions, but only about races; the quiz on the rules (is there someone that thinks that THAC0 is used in 5e? Really?).
