Siocast comes from Spain. So, better than China, but that's still a 20% hit as things look right now, and it's not like most small gaming companies have a ton of profit margin. Agreed...and I'm kinda nervous about their Dungeon Dwellers KS that I backed and hasn't yet completed. Dunno what...

Okay, so no dice or anything? My new list is: Dread Fiasco

Reaper is probably boned.

Does that mean I have all my accessories, too? D&D 5e Dread Monster Hearts Fiasco Alien Eldritch Horror Shadowrun Middle Earth RP

I'm not sure how you define "break-out success", but it was definitely unexpectedly successful right out of the gate. Perkins deserves a lot of the credit for that.

It's not just about prices in Canada, it's about the survival of these companies. I previously cited Dwarven Forge, an American company that I have long supported. Basically all of their product is produced in China. There is just no way that they can survive anything remotely approaching these...

Of course, no discussion of great names in English language literature can be complete without acknowledging the master, Charles Dickens: Uriah Heep Mr. Pumblechook Mrs. Havisham Oliver Twist Martin Chuzzlewit Charity Pecksniff Ebenezer Scrooge etc. And while we're at it, Roald Dahl: Augustus...

Big fan of some of William Gibson's names/nicknames: Molly Millions, Automatic Jack, Count Zero, etc.

That must be why 5e struggled so much...

Yes! 100%! Capitalizing a non-Proper noun, let Alone a verb or Adjective, makes It Read completely Differently. It's very jarring. And jargon-y. Well, no, because the One Ring is correctly capitalized as a proper noun, so the capitalization gives it the correct weight. It makes them read more...

Even though I love history, this thread title made me reflect on my practices and realize that I take very little from real world history, and a whole lot from real world literature. I'm not sure why that is. The history of colonialism definitely impacts how I depict relations between different...

At a certain point just walking across the set will become an impressive stunt for him.

Not in Canada, and they ship directly from Poland to Canada (I got that straight from the horse's mouth, today). But yeah, that potentially sucks for US customers, for sure. This whole situation is creating a lot more complexity in our hobby - for example, I could see an American customer...

I totally disagree that the new style makes the books more usable, and it definitely makes the prose uglier. I also think that the aesthetic pleasure of reading good writing in rule books is its own reward. I often read the Monster Manual for enjoyment, for example, and always have. It’s not a...

Yup - Wizkids' parent company, NECA, has built their whole business model around producing plastic collectibles in China, so...

Their stuff is really good, IMO. Similar to GW quality. The sizes can be inconsistent on their older stuff, but they seem to have that figured out now. In terms of tariffs, nobody seems particularly mad at Poland, so it shouldn't be taking as big a hit. They actually do a lot of plastics for...

New session of the home game started on a pirate ship, then took the party to "Voss'Kar, the Forsaken Isle" where they had to get through an undead infested swamp to retrieve an artifact from the ruined Temple of the Chained Oblivion at the heart of the island. Any game where I get use a zombie...
