    D&D General I wish people would avoid name-dropping Gary Gygax

    We’d be playing Greg Stafford’s games. Or Dave Megarry’s. Or Sandy Petersen’s.

    The Last of Us (HBO Max)

    I’m guessing that’s next season.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That tends to be relative based in context to what it’s compared to. Just because something has a strong community and fan base doesn’t mean it can’t still be underrated or even obscure when compared to the largest games. Also, everyone starts somewhere with learning about a game (or anything...

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    That wasn’t yucking anyone’s yum. That was criticism directed at a specific product with an incredibly low circulation owned by a highly problematic man whose comments have created the boondoggle you see today. It’s an appeal for someone to create something new rather than throw money at JG...

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    It’s not just that there wasn’t a comparable product, there just wasn’t a comparable product that met your particular criteria. Regardless, Goodman Games can create their own city state adventure if they wished.

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    I’ve been thinking about this too. The only reason Goodman Games or any of the fans of the setting are here today is nostalgia for a game that came out nearly 50 years ago. Was this one supplement so wonderful that talented designers couldn’t create something wholly original that hits the same...

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    First, just because you personally feel like you’ve been made whole after a failed Kickstarter doesn’t mean all of the other people who gave their money to JG have had refunds. Second, scapegoating someone means that someone is taking the punishment for another person’s wrongdoings. The...

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    Dang, I knew he was getting up there. I adored his work on Ravenloft. It was so evocative of the mood of that game.

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    So calling out others for shouting down bigotry and telling them it’s their loss for not buying the book is your answer?

    Glad to hear some concrete details around how they were going to guarantee this. Good on them.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Another one to throw out there: Cairn by Yochai Gal is in its second edition. I think he’s an excellent advocate for OSR/NSR as a growing area of the hobby and is very aware of needing to protect against and counter the bigotry that is present in the space as well. He’s got a blog at New School...

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

    Great video, and very illustrative.

    City-States of Adventure

    So my only thought regarding Ptolus is if you went back and looked at Monte Cook’s 3e material under Malhavok Press, there is a lot of magitech, chaos magic, and just general cool stuff there and all of it was assumed to have been part of Ptolus since that was his primary setting at the time...

    Elsewhere: I think I’ll just agree to disagree on that one.

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    Look at the differences between Williams and Gygax - Williams never sought recognition or idolization. Gygax was very much about being front and center in the community. It’s hard to find someone as likable if you only see them through business decisions, and who apparently was very content not...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I have never seen that many edits and “Neverminds” in a thread in all my time here. 😂

    Our Physical Fitness

    Getting a good soreness has been getting a little more difficult when I workout, probably because I need to push harder but I'm always cognizant that I can also overdo things and then be out longer than I want.

    When disagreeing…

    I find when disagreeing it's much better to start making your points in bold because that grants greater authority to your position and makes it more right. /s ;)
