<raised eyebrow> You are allowed you opinion. I agree that moving on and ignoring it would be the high ground. I also distinctly remember her being "in charge" when WotC broke faith, used what I consider obviously underhanded tactics to do it, and generally earned my ire on a level that...

My baseline reaction what a harsh "HA!", but that was petty of me. And it's not like she was the actual center of this fiasco. She was just the voice and face of it. The real... people... are still there, I feel.

Okay, here's my issue: If I'm playing online, it's useless. If I'm playing IRL, then... people want real miniatures. Tactile stuff. Dice. Books. No matter how you look at this: There is no market for this aside from "Ohhhh! Shiney!" And they can't sustain a business model. Not usually.

You are correct. it was a hypothetical comment based on the statement, "Imagine if ”greedy” WOTC would pull this off….Youtube would explode with haters and protest" I was not singling out a real person, let alone one in this thread, with my statement.

... The PDF is said will be free, soooooo. Eh? Quite bluntly, anyone who makes noises that a physical copy of a book should be free loses the right to be listened to.

You probably end up with more like me. I finally published the setting my wife and I developed over three decades. It probably cost around $1000 plus our time to develop the book. We've made… 150 on dtrpg? Over several months? Unless you already have a following, there is really not a lot of...

Ditto.

I think something a lot of people do not take into account is fatigue. In the last few years, people have talked about "Superhero fatigue." Truth is, people have had this with TTRPG systems since the beginning. People would play D&D, switch to Shadowrun, try some Traveller, and finally go back...

Don't we already have a pony rpg… is a few years old now?

This reminds me of the one time I did an adventure with the character on a train. They had two choices, move forward, back, or... not. I was meant to be a fast-paced chase to the villain, until almost at the end, I realized what was happening. I was railroading the players. Literally. The...

I still have to point out: AI-generated art is still trash. Not because of moral grounds, just because the art lacks context, direction, or understanding of the subject matter. Even if you can't tell it was generated by way of AI, it still tends to be trash quality. Any high-quality material...

Also, rumors on steam seem to be pointing at the game still being bugged, and not having been fixed in the downtime. Not bought it myself to be sure, but not sure why people would lie at this point?

You, know, there are still people who think max headroom was actually cgi, and not full analog the whole way.

Unrelated, but as I was trying to publish my setting (my wife and I have one we have been running for decades now in some form or another), I tried finding filler art for the project. The sheer amount of AI-created clipart is now so prevalent that I am unable, most days, to be sure what was...

I have to warn: if you show a face on a series of YouTube video clips in a news item like this, there will be assumptions that the face is related to the accuser. I'm specifically saying that has not been explicitly said.
