If it's in Arkansas the five acres probably didn't cost anything close to $5 million. I wish 'em luck. It'll take a while for them to be up and running, but even without a trade war going on I hope they can make a good run at providing printing services.

But...but...you're doing it wrong. Just kidding. That's cool. Different strokes for different folks. It's hard enough for me to play all the games I want to play, I've pretty much just accepted Pendragon will always be just out of reach, so when I play a different game I typically choose one...

I don't mean to imply there isn't any room for other games revolving around supernatural investigations. There's Vaesen, Beyond the Supernatural, Esoterrorist, Kult, GURPS (various books), Chill, Conspiracy X, East Texas University, etc., etc. It's just that Arkham Horror and Candela Obscura...

I'd rather companies catered to my wants and needs as well, but I'm not sure they could remain in business if they revolve their marketing around me. I owned Nightlife, 2nd edition I think, and at the time Vampire was just so much more popular that it wasn't even a contest. I don't know if...

I've got two of those, the Adam West Batmobile and one other, that I've had for years but have yet to assemble. That Falcon looks sweet.

You've got the looks, I've got the brains. Let's make lots of money.

Another mini from Archon Studios. The Observer because I think beholder was already taken. At $19 dollars, it's well worth the price. I don't think it's all that great for a beginner, the way the tentacles twist around make them a little difficult to paint, but for $19 I'm not complaining too...

This might me one of the few threads where we’ve all arrived to the same conclusion. Its so beautiful I’m crying tears of joy.

Dangerous Journeys was crazy!

We've got the benefit of hindsight, but we've heard people who lived through it talk about how it made playing games difficult for them. And when your company is the one being sued for wrongful death you never know how much damage that might actually do. Juries aren't always entirely...

Yes, it is very different. However, in this particular case, I was referring to Gygax's and even the Blume's practice of hiring friends and family who essentially had no real function at TSR and were quite a drain on resources. Distributing such largesse to friends and family to the point of...

Flamethrowers were used to clear some of the 8 inches of snow that fell on Washington D.C. on the eve of Kennedy's inauguration courtesy of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Gary dropped out of high school his junior year and while he took a few college courses never got his degree. Gygax was an intelligent, well read individual, but he did not have much in the way of a formal education nor did he have any experience running a business generating millions in...

It was pointed out that unlike Gygax those other businesses didn't fail. Some of them either did fail or were on the verge of failure. While I recognize Gygax wasn't the best businessman in the world, for a dude who didn't have much of a formal education, he did fairly well. I doubt I would...

Apple came pretty close to going under until Bill Gates saved it from bankruptcy back in 1997.

Gygax very much caught lightning in a bottle. Quite frankly, we were also lucky to have someone like Gary Gygax during the Satanic Panic when D&D, and all role playing games, were under attack. He did a great job explaining what D&D was to the masses and defending the game from unfair criticism.
