This. The gamers I knew from the 70s, 80s, 90s were the most accepting and diverse crowd of folks I knew, in part, because of the shared outcast state.

ENWorld is the only place I discuss RPGs. I cannot speak to the Social Media crowd. I consider it all to be a toxic mess of trolls and narcissist's. There is an undercurrent here of OSR hate or old person (ageist?) stuff that was not there when I was a regular from 1999-2012ish. I find it...

I could agree if not for the hypocrisy of their earlier stance.

Do we? How do a few hundred people cover an entire group? I cannot judge the whole group based on internet trolls. The vast majority of backers will have no clue about junior. Many will get an email asking them to back and will decide on past experience with GG.

I play 5e. I never got into OSR. I am constantly amazed at the underlying level of dislike or outright hate that group gets from folks.

You can still find copies of the Necromancer version: https://www.amazon.com/Invincible-Overlord-Dungeons-Dragons-Roleplaying/dp/1588469905

Frog God has updated Bard's Gate to 5e. It is on Drivethrurpg but I will stay with my HC original. I loved that book.

Bard's Gate and Freeport are also very good city settings.

No. Goodman is not that company. It was Troll Lord Games.

I do not think anyone in the other thread expressed a desire to ostracize folks who purchased the product. I think most indicated voting with their wallet, which I support. I agree with you and most folks who purchase will not be aware of any controversy.

We routinely have bandwidth issues with using discord. This is newer since they are pushing more ads and seem to be making the product worse in order to sell their nitro boosts etc. Discord was much better before they sold out.

I agree that people with different perspectives should communicate and build bridges. I cannot disagree with that statement; however, I also believe that there are certain universal concepts that most can agree are wrong. I am fine with people expressing those wrong, evil concepts. I prefer...

I had been unaware of the JG controversy until the other thread. I had collected all of the OAR products but I am not sure I will continue. I have limited remaining shelf space anyway. I am lucky to have the old Necromancer Games d20 versions that were released when the original creator was...

I am glad that I kept my d20 versions. The old Necromancer Games stuff was some of the few that I kept and those came out, I think, when the original creator was still around.

I use it everyday for work. It is far more useful than other programs including its ability to file share, chat channel etc. I never tried it for gaming. I use Discord but detest how it can strain the PC. I have gigabyte speeds and two people in the same house cannot use video at same time...

Google Meet. If one person has M365 then you could use Microsoft Teams which lets you create a permanent chat channel too. I would look at the new version. Of TeamSpeak too.

Hate watching is a thing. I do not do it but I know a lot of folks who do.

I just start off saying “I disagree.”

Most of my game time takes place at 6-12 with 1-5 and 13-18 being equal. I tend to level faster after level 12 because the party is facing more epic threats. My campaigns always hit level 17.

Weird. I have never seen first level last past session 2. My current group is level 7 after a year but that has more to do with only playing 3 hour sessions 1, maybe 2 times per month. I love to start at level one to introduce people to the game and have a good starting point.
