This arc of influences mirrors my (41 yrs of age) experience of 3rd edition D&D rekindling just how much fun table-top gaming had been when I was younger. In fact, one minor differences is that the infinity engine computer RPGs (Baldur's Gate, Torment, Icewind Dale, Fallout, etc.) kept me...

Let's be honest about all of the "isms." This is a totalitarian move over industries with no organized labor. Shame on publishers that are willing to lower overhead and do business where workers have no rights; their are other competitive markets that do. This should be a major lesson to...
