Sorry. Meant to write "make the woke crowd cry".

If JG isn't getting anything financially out of this, then why did they commit to the deal? My suspicion is that Bledsaw is trying to whitewash the property. If GG can get enough buzz going, then JG might be able make some space to normalize partnering with them again. And I know that I'm not...

There is one element of Gary's ouster that was never quite clear to me: when he was removed as CEO was there any option floated for him to remain with TSR? The received wisdom is that he was "kicked out of his own company", but the meeting minutes only address the loss of his senior management...

I GMd the whole thing & I loved it. The entire back half of the campaign was the party being manipulated by Lashonna to take out her chief rivals in the Kyuss cult. I played her as if she had come to regret her fall, but knew that if she openly turned against Kyuss, she would be obliterated...

I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make here. The best I can figure is that one woman used incinderary language and pop psychology in a rant about her boyfriend to a third party and therefore Gygax was justified because he felt attacked? If anything,. he seems to hold the same...

There is one aspect of Gygax's words that I haven't seen mentioned that occurred to me: We know the parts of OD&D books that are considered problematic, and his forum posts defending biological determinism. From these we know that Gygax realized fairly early on that D&D, in his experience, did...

My line in the sand is Terry Pratchett. If anyone comes up with anything significantly bad about Sir Terry, I'm giving up on humanity.

I'm writing a South American CoC adventure based on Encanto. You really don't want to talk about Bruno....

The man could spout off the differences between 15 different pole arms,each with different mechanics, but he gave up on swords after "short sword, long sword, really big sword, sword bigger than a long sword but not as big as a really big sword, curved sword"

If they had been really ambitious, they could have gone back to the remaining old crew and tried to talk them into doing a module or two for one of the OSR rulesets. I'd pick up a new TSR branded Zeb Cook or Doug Niles module. Maybe use that as a jumping off point to create a new campaign...

I'm also going with a Michael Whelan cover. I have a full size framed print of this hanging in my living room This one is a bit of a stretch for the rules: these days, it reminds me more of Lot5R than D&D. I'll count it, though, because when I first came across it, I was thinking Kara-Tur, not...

I first saw this picture less than a week after the 1e Players Handbook was published. It's not like I look at on a regular basis, but it has been instantly recognizable to me for 44 years now. And it wasn't until today that I realized that the shield is held wrong. The long axis should be near...

Has anyone heard anything from nuTSR referencing Jennell Jaquays? She would seem to be a natural target for LaNasa as the living embodiment of wokeness. Except, of course, she is so integrally tied to old school gaming that Dark Tower and Caverns of Thracia are still held up as classics. Still...

I just did a quick google search and found Grimm Book Bindery in Madison, WI.that will rebind books in imitation leather, starting at ~$50. My money is on LaNasa & Co printing out a PDF and bringing it to these guys to bind it in fake leather. This way, they don't have to try and fake a cover...

I can see that sales pitch now... OK, so what is included in the $1,000 sponsership level? Your sales brochure was a little vague. We'll put your name in the program and let you put up advertising materials at the con. What about on your promotional materials? What size of a logo do we get...

I'm pretty sure that this does not apply if the lodging is a condition of employment. There should have been a contract defining what happens when employment ends, but I doubt this crew bothered with that. Maybe the leaker is LaNasa's daughter. She does seem to be the nicest in the family, and...

Anybody's copy of the Monstrous Compendium, once they picked up a half dozen appendicies and tried to integrate them into a single binder. That was one concept that probably needed a little more thought before they sent it to the printer
