Just as children shouldn't carry the sins of the father, neither should the father have to carry the sins of the son to an extent. My own grandfather has always been rather progressive and understanding, and continued to become more so as he got older. His sons? Very hate-filled and angry. I can...

I guess I'm spoiled, but the last RPG Game Rules Kickstarter I did (PoI's Strange Things Afoot) showed up the month that he promised (PoI Game Studio is literally a one-person outfit). I would have hoped that veterans to the industry would be able to do the same. Or maybe I'm being a snot, I...

I'm fairly certain it has not. I believe that Gail Gygax is/was in control of that situation, and I donated a bunch as well, so I have that same question.

That's one of the things that bugs me. Most people, when they here it's a museum, will assume it's some sort of donation-based nonprofit. So this feels somewhat skeevy to me.

I started with 2nd Edition AD&D. Staying close to the core rulebooks it always worked great for us. 3.5 left a bad taste in my mouth for a few reasons which I choose not to discuss here for the sake of avoiding edition-warring, but I'll play it as a PC still. I've since gone back to BECMI & 1st...

Maybe I'm the lucky one, but I haven't had any interaction with RPGPundit ever.

I can sympathize with this. My situation was different but probably similar; 80s/90s WI. The Milwaukee suburbs in Waukesha County are not known for their empathies towards others, to be nice. I was taught that great value of turn the other cheek and report it; all this did was make it worse. I...

I didn't say everyone does this. But based on my education, I simply think that it's not uncommon. I personally cannot judge others for the thoughts they have in response to trauma (unless they act on the thoughts). Shaming those who do only brings about more isolation and marginalization of...

Truth; if anything the bullying received made me more passionate about helping people who are getting unfairly treated by others!

Admittedly it doesn't look good. But adolescent trauma can be very difficult to move past. And at that age, I don't think these levels of revenge fantasy are all that uncommon. It's a difficult area to wade through, as we could end up in the weeds of unrelated topics ranging from suicidal...

I had just seen it, as 3SR just linked to it a few minutes ago. It looks like he posted that around Midnight Monday morning.

That's where my head was at. Admittedly trauma can really wreak havoc on one's social interactions and their responses. But without specifically mentioning the transphobic comments & issues, he will continue to ring hollow in the ears of us, who are still upset.

Update: Thoughts?

Technically there is no stock as they filed with the state of WI as an LLC. But LLCs can be split into percentage units. So if LaNasa dropped $100,000 for 60% of the company, they could sell each 1/2% unit at $800 per, that could almost buy him out. 0.5% units at $1,200 would bring in an...

Since someone brought up the NFL, it got me wondering if Ernie indeed had a way out. And since he's from Wisconsin too, I would hope that he'd consider giving it a chance. I'm thinking he could do what the Green Bay Packers do, and offer out stock (or in this case, LLC units) to the fans to buy...

Right here, this is the heart of what this is all about. Thank you for saying it. If I ever get to meet you face to face, I'm going to buy you a sandwich. :D Or Ice Cream. Or, I suppose, an ice cream sandwich.

The back & forth between Jeff Dee & Ernie Gygax reminds me way too much of some of the asinine replies given by the members of Spinal Tap in the film. But at least that was intentionally comedic satire.

I truly understand your perspective here, and I think it would be important that we all understand that this is beyond a simple issue of what a group of people from a company says (3SR), this is an old, personal friend from years back for you. I do think you probably have the most insight to...
