    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    Well, that is a matter of opinion. I find the fact that you chose to make it personal, about what it is saying in "my favor", interesting.

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    Let's say i write a module, and want to publish it. I find a good illustrator. They have the skills, i like their work, and they have a good track record of delivering projects online. Is that sufficient vetting? If not, what should the additional level of vetting entail? Ask them for documents...

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    I started writing a reply, but then found this article. It makes a better job than i could do to make the case of why deferring your judgement to what "the community" seems to think at the moment, might not be such a good idea after all...

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    I made a distinction earlier, and it's an important one. I'm not talking about the specific case. I'm talking about the responsibility of a project creator in general. Finding out whether anyone did or did not do something reprehensible, is not a 30 second google search. More importantly, it...

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    I was more arguing about the principle of what project creators should do in general, as a rule. Examples: What if the person wasn't aware of what had happened. Or if there was contradictory evidence. I still feel that project creators should not be expected to call people up and say, x was...

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    I'd be curious to find out how you feel about the Kevin Spacey situation: "In October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making a sexual advance toward him in 1986, when Rapp was 14. Other men alleged that Spacey had made unwanted advances and had sexually harassed them as well. Netflix...

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    I actually agree with a lot of your observations about patterns of behaviour in how people like that behave. And the pre-meditated nature does make it worse. What i was trying to get at, is that even though this is clearly reprehensible behaviour, i'm not sure it warrants saying "look this guy...

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    When people participate in a forum, they (quite rightly) expect moderators to keep personal opinions and moderation separate, they are different hats. Since the moderation aspect hasn't been brought up (not even by the moderator), the fact that you suggest that he should modify his opinion...

    Luke Crane Resigns From Kickstarter

    After this comment, i went online to read what happened. Particularly, i was curious about why the term abuser was used. Now that i have: It would have already been a serious issue if it had happened privately, at the table. The fact that it was done while streaming makes it even more...

    EVERWAY Then and Now

    I still have the old box! An interesting game for sure, it definitely was influential. Thanks for the article. Glad it's making a comeback.

    What makes you say that, can you mention a couple of examples?

    D&D 5E Orion Black No Longer a D&D Designer [UPDATED!]

    See, that's a great solution and very practical. When our department was hiring, that's what they did. One person printed CVs and put a plaster on names. And put them in the pile to be reviewed. Nice, simple, effective. At least for the first round of selection. Then you have the interviews, and...

    D&D 5E Orion Black No Longer a D&D Designer [UPDATED!]

    So the way you suggest we solve these types of issues is by developing mind reading abilities as a society. Good solution, and i'm all for it. Just not very practical. I personally think we should focus on equality of opportunity not equality of outcome. The latter makes no sense, and your...

    Follow Broken Compass To Pulp Adventure

    I really enjoyed the review, and your style of writing it ("does this game belong in a museum", ha 😆) The question of how to deal with this pulpy boulder-chases-affer-you situation is very close to my heart. I'd asked John Harper about it ages ago. If you're interested in what he said, you can...

    D&D 5E WotC On Tasha, Race, Alignment: A Several-Year Plan

    Do you know all the answers? Comfortable to whom? And how is what people have said about real life groups relevant to a fantasy game that involves a fantastic race that is designed to evoke "otherness"? (In a similar fashion to, as someone said, every single culture and world mythology has done...

    D&D 5E Mythological Figures: Cú Chulainn

    Cú Chulainn is clearly The Man. Great entry.

    RPG For Power Rangers Coming

    I personally don't care much for this property, but i'm glad that the people that do will have the option to run this in 5e. The reason i'm rooting for this, is that hopefully it will pave the way for a Masters of the Universe rpg :-)
