While they both share elements of Vance's weird, high strangeness and opaque magic and Moocock's Law vs Chaos thing, DCC leans more into the former while WFRP leans more into the latter.

I hope I'm not the only one who misread the title of Dark Sun as a Horsepunk Setting. That would be pretty cool too.

Yeah, in DCC all of that is built into every check, between the mercurial magic effects determined when the spell is learned to a custom table for every spell and then also corruption tables, this is the way. You can basically remove it entirely from that game and put it into any OSR D&D clone...

They started playing music from my high school days on the classic rock station recently. Brother, I'm basically already dead. So right there with you.

I was initially excited about this too and that was my exact reaction also.

I collect omnis. The thing is, yeah they are quality and pricey but I can buy them for 50% off MSRP from instocktrades when they hit retail. Can't do that here. Also, still no PDFs.

I was excited until I saw that to get everything it was $650 plus $ 90 shipping and it also does not include any PDFs. Value just isn't there, I'm sorry to say. I'll have to reluctantly pass.

I mean, he did, but it was France in the 90s so with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

They have specialized horse meat butcher shops in Germany too. That being said, the only place I've ever eaten horse was on the side of a road from a shady looking stand in France. 10/10 would recommend.

I want to go back to gaming in shame in basements. We've gone too far. Go back.

I think that new version of 2300 AD was DOA from jump wasn't it? I remember they were charging like $100 for the box set and you needed to own the Mong Traveller rulebook too. I can't imagine that things been lighting up the sales charts.

LOL. We are smart and cool.

I'm calling it now DC20, MCDM and Black Flag are just Senzar for people in their 20s now. No, I'm not wrong.

Man, this was my first console as a kid and I remember digging it because it was compatible with 2600 games. Of which, I inherited a big box from my older cousins. But yeah, 7800 games at $30 is a tough sell.

I imagine the pitch is "Shadowrun" but with not terrible rules, but that's been the pitch for a bunch of games that have appeared and disappeared just as quickly. I really wish that wasn't the case, but alas.

Cool. If you go in eyes open, it's your call. Caveat emptor applies to all transactions, this is no different. I'm not really going to engage more than that because, apparently, discussing the business practices of a business launching a new business venture at an event where they describe how...

I'm honestly surprised 7th Sea second edition is getting anything beyond the Kickstarter obligations. I was sure Chaosium would want to move on from it when they could. I'm happy for the people who like it, they'll at least get one campaign out of the deal.

I'm sorry, what? If there hadn't been massive pushback they would have let the status quo remain where everybody would have to spend god knows how long making all the spells, items etc homebrew one by one if they wanted to keep playing 2014. This would have been a real pain and obviously...

It's the same reason why movie studios weren't allowed to own movie theaters for decades or why cable companies weren't allowed to own content creating entities. That isn't the case anymore, and in both cases, it's safe to say it hasn't exactly been all roses.

Well, that's an indictment of Valve if I've ever heard one. YOU HEAR THAT, GABE HALF LIFE 3 WHEN
