Is that what Darrington Press really going to want? Associating their work with the D&D brand?

I think we, who talk about stuff online all the time, overestimate how much the bulk of the gaming community follows the business side of things to know what names are in what corporate roles.

So, the difference is really simple. In the US, we slightly more frequently have access to the soda fountain as customers. But, the devices are pretty ubiquitous in the restaurant industry through the Western world - if you as a customer don't have access to it, that doesn't mean it isn't there...

Right at the beginning. Or do you forget that the site stated as a place to pick over the rumors of the then-impending 3e?

The only one of these that I'm particularly likely to see in the theatre if Fantastic Four.

Not just "at WotC". This is how work and life goes. Folks, in the modern era, working in the same place for eight years is a good solid long haul. Lots of things change in eight years, both in one's personal life and professional goals. There's nothing strange in someone leaving a job after...

Avoidance does not resolve issues. If the group is not mature enough to handle conflicts with out-of-game discussions like mature adults, then immature blow-ups are the likely result. It pays to know what you really want to get out of the discussion before you go in - and "but my character...

So, to summarize - you have an entire campaign that isn't clear about the style of play they want to engage in. In that environment, you then have a person you describe as "emotionally unstable", and try to address an issue in-game, without having a mature out-of-game discussion first. The...

I have to wonder what they do if Mel doesn't quite make it to see it come to the screen...

I mean, that may depend on what you call a "dig". I love Trek. I also think the Orville is awesome, and I don't insult Trek in saying that. So, I don't know if Brooks has ever made what we'd call a "good movie". Funny? Pointed with commentary? Sure. But it ain't high cinema, that's for...

In your defense, the guy is NINETY EIGHT years old. He'll be 99 later this month.

We are, in the end, a news site. And, more importantly, silence = tacit assent. If we didn't allow discussion, that would support ignorance of the issues, which amounts to allowing support for Bledsaw. By having discussion, folks can make informed choices.

Not everyone is aware of the moral issues.

And that is the point. Things happen. If they are going to happen, the question is how much one is willing to embrace Things Happening. Games or tables that use Fail Forward or Success at a Cost techniques, or that generate Complications (using generic terms - each game can have different names...

Oh, no! Someone used an older name for a technique! The HORROR!

Indeed. We can take that further, to make the point more clear. The kitchen, which was explicitly placed in the scenario, requires a cook. And cooking fuel. And food. But the map probably forgot to include cordwood, or what exactly is in the pantry. So, we have setting elements we know should...

That isn't a point of contention. Nobody thinks you actually secretly want to do it. The points of contention seem to be whether the stated reasons for not liking the technique are: 1) based on the realities of the technique, instead of false impressions/strawmen. 2) self/internally...

The earliest examples i recall didn't actually have characters succed - failing forward was failing, but with an obvious sign of what other course was available - You fail to open the lock, but notice an open 3rd story window. Also, cases when the goal was multi-faceted: A fail forward on, "I...
