    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    I think you missed my point. The point is that I'm not hesitant because I mistrust Free League it's because the future is so uncertain. i

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    This is all a lot to process, so in my preoccupation over what this meant for consumers, and more importantly me, I didn't even think of local retailers here in the United States until now. My local game store sells collectible card games, board games, role playing games, miniatures games...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    I like Steve Jackson Games, and this isn't meant as a dig against them, but I'm saddened that a game company seems to know more about how the economy works than those who are in control of policy.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Completely expected by everyone except those who think tariffs are a magical way to make the country rich. Domestic companies can raise their prices and still be competitive because they'll still be cheaper than foreign alternatives. I expect what few RPG purchases I make in 2025 will be PDFs.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    This is pretty much how tariffs work and this is expected by everyone except those who are currently pushing for them. As far as gaming goes, part of my decision not to participate in the current Alien Kickstarter is because of the uncertainty of the current economic climate. I don't even know...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Ok, it’s been a while since I’ve said anything about technique. This is a wolf (dire?) from WizKids. I painted this a few years back, but it was so bad I stripped it and just repainted it. I generally don't like WizKids miniatures, but this one is textured well enough that it makes for a good...

    Desert Island RPGs (or which RPGs would you play for the rest of your life?)

    What do you mean resort to cannibalism? I'm diving in head first. Literally.

    Desert Island RPGs (or which RPGs would you play for the rest of your life?)

    Eight doesn't sound like a lot but it's way too many for a desert island. i.e. There is little in the way of pain points when I can select eight. Savage Worlds (I can play a variety of genres with this one.) D&D (Because you know at least one of the castaways won't play anything else.)...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    I did specify D&D's class system.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    You can do zero to hero with a point buy system. D&D is really good for playing D&D. It excels at it for reasons which stump scientists to this day. I'm not knocking D&D for having it's focus, when I have the D&D itch there's no better game after all. But I figured out around 1990 or so that...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    D&D's class system only works well for one thing. D&D. It doesn't work particularly well for the many fantasy books I read in the 80s and 90s.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    D&D has been in a constant state of change since 1974.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I was salty because I thought 4th edition was bad. It was no Cyborg Commando, but once I played a few sessions I realized I wouldn't be buying the game. I think it's also a decision predicated on putting out a better product. For third edition, I can't help but think WotC recognized some of...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    I'm certainly not the first person I know of to express positive opinions about CoC d20. Do I like it better than classic CoC? No. But the d20 version by Monte Cook and John Tynes is a pretty good book. I've certainly seen plenty of others who agree, even if, like me, they prefer classic.

    Hell, while we're wishing....I demand a 5th edition adaptation of The Littles.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    As someone who has PTSD from his experience with the great d20 glut of the early 21st century, I can still acknowledge there were a lot of surprisingly good adaptations. One of the best d20 products was Call of Cthulhu d20. If this was anyone's first introduction to CoC, they lucked out...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Combat Tedious on Purpose?

    There are design issues exacerbated by some of my players' proclivities. I'm not one inclined to heavily modify any game I play and that's not going to change with D&D, so I'm just going to have to live with it and hope they reconsider when they make 6th edition. I'd like to see them do...
