    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Worth noting that post-Crisis Superman had considerably reduced powers. From Superman's inception, his power level has fluctuated wildly over time. Though we didn't get to see enough of Clark Kent in this, I think this movie did the best job of making them seem like two different people, and...

    History Rhymes: Another Gygax Lawsuit

    IMHO, WG7 Castle Greyhawk isn't nearly as bad as its reputation suggests. Sure, it's a terrible Greyhawk module, but taken as its own thing, it's actually pretty good. Well, parts of it are. The three biggest criticisms I'd level at it are: -Some groaningly bad attempts at humor (there are...

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Not a huge fan of superhero movies in general. I'd usually just rather read comic books, and inaccurate costumes tick me off. That's a me issue. So, I haven't watched a lot of comic movies as a result. I've watched some, and usually felt disappointed. Probably my favorite comic book movie was...

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    The most baffling thing about this is that attaching the T&T name is unlikely to have much cachet with any potential young, new fans, and drastically changing the rules isn't likely to attract long-time players of a game that's been backwards compatible for 50 years. I just don't understand...

    Agree. I actually like Over the Edge 3e more than I liked 2e (which was a lot). Still, I'm not really feeling this one. Yet. Time will tell.

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    I'd love to see what you came up with, is it for sale anywhere? I'm definitely in the "this is T&T in name only" camp. I respect the designers, and I hope this works out for them. Hope they sell a million. It isn't T&T, to me. I know I sound like a crusty old grog and I hate that, but it is...

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    At the risk of sounding like a joyless old grog, I'm with @BigJackBrass on this one. i may be in the minority in liking the Trollworld setting as well, though it was largely implied before Edition 5.5, and wasn't made explicit until Deluxe (unless you count Japanese editions, lol). I know the...

    So was Hackmaster, but people still loved it. T&T was more than a D&D knockoff, it took an entirely different approach to RPG design in many respects. It was an innovator.

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    I've seen at least one poster elsewhere claim that Goodman is being "bullied" by people who would rather go after a small target than the "real evils". My brother in Christ, the Bledsaws are Holocaust deniers, if that's not a "real evil" to you, I don't think you and I are living in the same...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Given that Goodman said in one of his earlier statements that they could have abandoned the project, I'm guessing they did have an exit clause, or that the agreement was structured in such a way that they didn't need one.

    Yeah, Goodman's compromise isn't enough anymore. No way I'm backing this.

    Zweihander Reforged Is Out In PDF On Drivethrurpg

    I dunno. I only hopped on the Zweihander train at Revised. Though I'd expect him to continue doing it, based solely on my observations. Guess I can't say for sure, though?
