    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    GW in Canada is a strange beast. Because we have no direct access to GW from the UK, we get ours from the US, and therefore (you can see it on the GW website) Canadian prices are much higher than they should be (and weird-looking) as they translate the UK MSRP from GBP to USD and THEN to CAD...

    Good on you, then! I'm glad to hear it. Sounds like the best solution.

    Constable Sherlen Miller listened to all the various points that were made. She had her own suspicions and issues with the orders she had been given, and she considered for a moment what she should do. Finally, she sighed and gave Tommi a half smile and said, "I'm afraid that it's out of my...

    They'll drag my Comic and Game store out of my cold, dead hands!

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    The biggest concern I have with the whole affair is that we're very unlikely to get hit - only once - with these tariffs. You see, they will make manufacturing more expensive, which will rise MSRPs, and then for those of us who get physical products from across boarders, we will be charged on...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    I respect that decision, but I will point out, that (assuming you have ever bought from a local store) that your FLGS had to order product MONTHS AGO and can't reduce their order for the loss of your business. That's not a huge big deal if you are alone in your boycott, but if you are one of...

    Haw! I just imagined Ol'Sooty jammed into the Library, bunting some scared militiaman with his nose, looking for "ear-scritches".

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    As an FLGS in Canada, we started to see (retaliatory) tariffs on most game products this week, making them vastly more expensive. I chose to eat most of it, except in cases where the new price seemed like a reasonable thing that wasn't beyond the pale. (Difficult to do when prices have already...

    Yes, it is Delfen who is teleporting (I have, myself, spelled his name various ways, and I find that I find that the names Darfin and Delfen get confusing, especially since the one with "elf" in it is the Human, and the other the Elf). Hey, I didn't name them. And yes, it is knowing the...

    When I say it's 'getting pretty long', I mean "us players typing"-wise. We can assume that more minor details were discussed, and there were likely some side-conversations. I figure the meeting has gone on for about half an hour at this point.

    "Those are excellent suggestions," agreed Delfen, proud that his apprentice had come so far. "We will take all these precautions and more before we do our bit, after sending you south." At this point, there was a knock on the townhouse door. One of Lord Darfin's human servants went to answer...

    @VLAD the Destroyer aksed "Wasn't Lionel possessed by Sing-Axe?" Yes and No. He was possessed by Baazka, a pit-fiend who is working with the Thayans, probably in some deal to also gain his freedom. Shalendra was also once possessed by Baazka, before Xingax took charge of her, as was, waaaaaay...

    Spoilers The Pitt on Max

    While I agree with you, I also think that it shouldn't be him. Not because I have a problem with foreshadowing, but because I believe that the story will be better if they are mistaken, and it is an unrelated aggressor.

    The Elf Lord was again content to allow the Waterdhavian Wizard to do most of the talking, as he possessed the most information. Ashfell, having looked at Darfin out of politeness, answered Tommi, "Dragonspear seems the most likely place, but we must accept that it could be a ruse. Those of us...

    "I'm going to be frank, because it is just us here," said Lord Darfin, after Kelson had left, "I have served many Dukes of Daggerford as advisor. My father had served them all until his death, twenty years ago. Many of them have been brave, humble, kind, or just. Maldwyn is none of these things...

    "We had hoped to have the full support of the Duke," answered Ashfell, not entirely sure what delay Tommi was referring to, "But, yes - we must not wait any longer." He nodded to Morgan and said, "Without further ado, then. You have had various troubles with a mysterious 'Titan' known as...

    "I will try to find out," said Kelson Darktreader, "But I do not know." "Of course, I tried to scry for Titus," said Ashfell, as Delfen nodded that he had tried as well, "But he has been subjected to a rite of Nondetection. He took his horse from Waterdeep to speak to you ahead of this meeting...

    Sorry I've had a slow posting week. I've been really busy - Learn to Play D&D at my store has proven very popular and I'm now running FOUR groups in new adventures. As I've been making the characters, too - I've had a LOT of Prep to do! So... before I post, there's still a couple of things I'm...

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

    After Jack shot the escaping servant, there was a tense moment where it looked as if many of the Hill Giants would resume throwing rocks. But as Valda, Bible, and Quinn looked ready to resume their giant-slaying if they had to (much to Waythe's momentary delight), and with Laerthar holding up a...
