    Dragon Reflections #93

    Just retired in 2024 and afterschool RPG / game clubs aren't what they used to be. Long reads are not what these kids want to do, even for something they enjoy.

    White Dwarf Reflections #19

    Yours and mine both. My original Traveller stuff is boxed. I'll try and find my copy of Leviathan when I get the chance. Edit Bob Mcwilliams, Albie Fiore, Ian Livingston, and Andy Slack. GD people popular in White Dwarf.

    White Dwarf Reflections #19

    I re-classed the Broadsword as a frigate. I did a 12,500 ton version of the Kinunir class as a frontier cruiser. Leviathan was definitely a superior product. The ship was well done, including even back-up drives to its main drives, and was well suited to being a merchant ship past the...

    White Dwarf Reflections #19

    It was referred to as a "Battlecruiser" in the module. The module was done before High Guard when 5,000 L-Hyd tons displacement was the maximum ship size. It was 1,250 tone displacement iirc. By High Guard standards it's an escort class ship. A colonial "cruiser", not a frontline warship.

    White Dwarf Reflections #20

    Loved Andy Slack's Scout Serice upgrade. WD had great Traveller content. Their D&D stuff was excellent too, but good Traveller material was harder to come by. The cover of this WD brings the TTA books already mentioned above immediately to mind for me.

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

    Well, we all know those Nazis are rational and have thought things out. Revenge is beneath them, they are beyond such petty things. I hope the sarcasm comes through well :) Besides, they are going to make little or nothing off the GG project. Why not take a swipe for revenge and / or try and...

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

    Yeah, we had a DM who said the same thing. We carried 2 five foot poles that could be combined by fitting 2 ends with a socket and pinning them together with metal pins :)

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

    Just one comment... you guys believe the Nazi? Maybe he's deranged or just venting his spleen. Those are both more likely than GG lining up to do more JG material.

    Dragon Reflections #92

    One of my favorite covers of all time. Doesn't hurt that Centaurs are a playable race in my campaign :) The Cleric articles were useful, and I had been restricting spells for Clerics by deity for a while and now I had E.G.G. for "authority" on the practice :D I never used the adventure (but I...

    Went to the Kickstarter page and it says PDFs May, Books in June. Woodland centered stuff always interests me.

    RPG Print News – Mongoose Publishing, Troll Lord Games, and More

    Have to admit, the Baggage Turtle with Gnome Rider is tempting... it's just a cool idea.

    Where’s The Beastmaster Roleplaying Game? Part 2

    Now that you mention it, I recall that one. My choice would be for her space based (Solar Queen etc.) books as a setting. Given the free trader, alien contact, exploration aspects to those books I think it would be a natural.

    Where’s The Beastmaster Roleplaying Game? Part 2

    I'm surprised there isn't an Andre Norton themed RPG. The Solar Queen free trader books, Galactic Derelict series, and Wtchworld books. And plenty of others. Staples of my youth...

    White Dwarf Reflections #19

    Trevor Graver's article on criminal careers for Traveller was great. The issue was solid and reading material for various systems was always fun (I had both C&S and Runequest), although D&D, EPT, and Traveller were my main games.

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

    I suspect the bigotry has always been there. It's become more acceptable (in some quarters) to voice it / show it. Sad, but very human.

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Actually, they make 40mm toy soldiers and plastic action figures in India (that I know of). Given the market size I'm surprised this is an issue. 1.2 billion people (or more, I haven't checked lately) there is bound to be a market for RPG material / accessories. English is a second language for...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Most of the corporations you're talking about are law practices, medical groups and other small organizations. There are forty-four thousand publicly traded corporations in the world (2024). Large corporations tend to be publicly traded. I'm not sure where Hasbro lands in this pile. The really...

    Freebies, Sales, and Charity Bundles for April 20, 2025

    I went for the Pro Fantasy mapping bundle. There is a learning curve for Campaign Cartographer but I've done that a while back. Now, having just retired, I might have the time to use it :D

    That was Striker, their boxed set of miniature rules. It had complete rules for building vehicles, guns, etc iirc. Snapshot was a tactical set for man to man combat on a starship.

    Worlds of Design: Here Be Monsters

    Sounds like teaching high school. The reward for teaching college was not having to worry about it that much.
