    How long before you tire of a thread here?

    Not for me. I like to argue but I have limits. There gets a point where it hits a wall and devolves.

    eBook Prices - Is it just me…

    Amazon has been systematically making kindle worse to lock people into their device and prevent people from archiving their purchases. They are trying to eliminate competition and then they will control pricing. I refuse to buy from them since they eliminated download and transfer.

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

    Agreed. It is a KS and many are from people that are just starting out. I have rarely not gotten my content and I do not order anything that I need on a certain date via KS. They are luxury goods.

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

    I have 2 out of over 100. E20 and Dragoneye Dice. The e20 guy had a breakdown, which is fine. I hope he got better but he has spent the years since attacking and banning people who ask him about the failed project. Dragoneye dice by Spidermind. Just stay away from that company.

    The Gamers: Attack of the Pwns

    I first encountered The Gamers film at GenCon 2006. @Alenda and I went to meet up with a bunch of ENWorlders. It may also be the first time I met Morrus. We fell in love with it and have kept up with the subsequent versions over the years. This may be the last one and it is close to funding...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Since the prices baked that 20% in for at least the last 7 years, we are looking at a 10% increase. This does not translate to 10% in final price. I think the last month has been insane; however, I am somewhat happy that the extra 115% is gone, for now. I cannot comment on the tolerance of the...

    They were already 20%. I just hope that a permanent agreement can be reached.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Yes. The US added a 20% tariff to China under Trump 1 which was supposed to fight against the fentanyl chemicals China was producing. The US already had 20% tariffs on China prior to the trade war that increased to 145%. The tariffs were just reduced by 115% which leaves it at 30% (a 10%...

    City State of the Invincible Overlord, what even is it?

    I did not encounter it until Necromancer Games published its d20 version in the 2000s. I had heard of it along with Wilderlands and Thracia. I own all of the Necromancer Games titles because that was one of the few 3pp d20 era stuff I had to keep. I have never cracked the book for City State...

    People also evolve. Views may harden, soften, change, or evolve over time. A person can dramatically change. It does not mean they had those views in the past and they could have formed or been set by external events. I am much different as I close on 50 than when I was posting 25 years ago.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Well, cut to 30%. That is just a 10% increase from the previously existing tariff.

    It also eats memory. Zoom is bad for the load it generates.

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

    Cook is a fairly popular creator since his 2e Planescape days. He was one of the creators of 3e as well as Cypher system. It’s ok if you’re not a fan. I like his work.

    I have Ptolus. I own almost all of Monte Cook’s stuff. I have never cracked my copy.

    D&D (2024) You Can Now Pre-order Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    I never said they were evil but it is a hidden price hike versus previous pre orders. Folks should know that they tacked on an additional $6.99.

    It depends on if GG got that promise in contractual writing. If they make no profit and can only use the funds to right a wrong, then that is ….something. Barring a legal obligation, then that promise has zero force to it.

    I noticed they did a hidden price increase with shipping costs. It used to be free shipping.
