4x6 inch blank notebooks? Those sound small.

That "older fluff part" could be CGLs work and I doubt they'd hand it over as they seem to still be selling it. Now if CGL just cut and pasted something out of the Valiant bibles, they could do the same, but they'd have to go hunt it down in the same word document as a matter of due diligence to...

Yep. For me, there's one big event with a mostly planned ending as a Plan B if the campaign doesn't naturally generate one. (Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't) How they get there greatly depends on their actions and the ending rarely goes off as originally intended. While tend to think...

I'd like to wish the EN World staff a Happy New Year. You guys are why I keep visiting every day.

I'm a GR fan. Perhaps the biggest slowdown to my purchases was the downtime between releases for their AGE system. Until recently, there wasn't coming out for it.

I know for my crowd the random d20 roll to establish a target number and avoid having a GM make the call was a hard pass.

Which a great system, but also is a case study of how gamers will learn additional rules to the point they've learned a new game as compared to getting them to learn a new game. For those who do not know, Mutants and Masterminds is an amazing spin on 3.5 that changes core concepts of the game...

It's always been a vicious cycle in our industry -- now times two. It's even gotten worse for trad publishing as several pro fiction magazines have closed submissions even more frequently due to submitted AI sci-fi/fantasy stories. Sadly, it not due to the AI stories even being remotely good...

Came here to say this. Bravo!

Brutal truth. It's not for nothing, it's for far less than what they are making. Because: Everyone feels that their job is the hardest one in the department and anyone getting paid close to their compensation for "just" graphic design or "just" art, or "just" writing.* For very small companies...

Of course we are talking about stuff that has been going on in IT for forever, but it reminds me of de-evolution a career in graphic design. When things were in the black box of Quark Express and few people were tech savvy, graphic designers could command a great wage for the time. Now that...

My brother worked in his company's IT department for almost two decades and it was the same story. A new VP comes and they try to razzle dazzle and use IT phrases in all the wrong ways to "trick" the legacy people into coding themselves out of a job. His opinion about it was "you assume we have...

LOL! I am getting flashbacks. When I was a kid, all of the elder men in my family wanted to sit in the same room as the TV and talk AT each other. They expected the kids to either sit there and "learn something," or go outside. And if the TV was on, they would shout to drown it out. What they...

Indeed, to the point that a fan edit of the trailer got huge kudos for simply dropping in, "The epic tale that inspired 100 years of film making."

Fair enough. :ROFLMAO: To sum up, industry experts assumed the movie would be a flop due to the lackluster marketing (Disney had just hired a marketing exec who was a Hollywood outsider that stepped on some toes and then left with 4 years still on their contract) And it was the largest movie...

If you ask John Carter of Mars, there are movies primed to be hated by critics on more than just the quality of their art. https://www.amazon.com/John-Carter-Hollywood-Michael-Sellers/dp/0615682316

I'd say less "reductive anti-cap" and more when our current version of it doesn't work, it projected that the little guy was at fault/foolishness, never the investors. And again, I'd be more excited if it was a level playing field for all investors. And while these 1% may not be...

This is my bugaboo. Capital gain tax is tiny for two reasons. The popular reason is "The stock market is volatile (that gambling thing again) and I could lose my shirt." The unspoken version is the very reason NotAYakk spoke of. Yet a creative on a 1099 is heavily taxed because living by one's...
