Ah yeah, that makes sense. I can see the post count skips #215 and #217 for me. Not sure what I said to earn someone’s block, but it certainly makes it hard to follow the conversation.

DCC is definitely pretty simple to play, but the caveat is that it’s not trying to emulate the exact experience of playing B/X. Rather, the system feels like it’s designed like a distilled experience of old school D&D—it generates the exciting moments of “Oh my god I can’t believe that worked!”...

…I’m confused by this comment. The thread’s not about OSE. It doesn’t look like you’re replying to anyone, and the previous comment is your own. Am I missing something?

I’m pretty disappointed about this, but also not really sure anything has changed from my perspective since last week. I don’t put much stock in anything Mr. Bledsaw has said, so I guess I don’t believe his account of these events. Goodman Games needs to cut this partnership immediately and...

Personally I agree with you, and I have a lot of objections to the frequently claims that “DCC isn’t OSR”. But it’s a pedantic debate anyway, and lots of people seem to think something is only “Old School Renaissance” if looks exactly like their favorite version of Basic D&D. I’ve seen people...

I had the opposite reaction, but tastes differ I suppose.

Goodman Games needs end this, like, yesterday. Even if everything said is a lie, it’s still dragging GG down with them.

I feel this in my bones Ah I’ve seen several attempts at this in real life and it never seems to be as good as imagined.

Tbf, it’s been a long time since the DDM line from WotC and I think (lack of) profitability was the main reason why it was cancelled. So right there we can plausibly blame inflation and higher costs for a big part of the higher price, not necessarily greed on WizKids’ part. Still, I don’t buy...

Update regarding the Pathfinder Asian Fantasy on Humble Bundle: the physical copy of the Player Core book (sketch cover) isn’t shown on the bundle page anymore, which makes me think that the physical inventory is sold out. There’s only three tiers listed now.

Much more environmentally friendly than plastic bits too

All this talk of “They don’t look as advertised” makes me laugh out loud and think of that “First time?” meme. This has been the same for all these preprinted minis even back to the WotC prepainted minis days (especially when they started using digital renders around Night Below).

Yeah the username is a strong clue about that person’s beliefs…🫤

Ignoring politics is a privilege for people who are comfortable and safe. For a lot of people, they wish they could ignore it, but politics doesn’t ignore them.

Ah I’ve always been a bit slow. I just prefer to wait for my emotional reaction to subside before I commit to a conclusion.

Still better than that very stupid cover featuring a gigantic head.

Very happy to hear it. Probably should’ve realized this was necessary and addressed this issue before announcing the project though.

Valid point! My criticism wasn’t aimed at the outcriers generally, it was aimed specifically at the people who immediately decided to cancel GG forever without even demanding an or hoping for a better explanation. Amongst the outcry, there were a range of messages, and it’s only the lazy and...

So this morning, only a few hours ago, I wrote about how I was in a bit of shock about this and was still waiting and hoping that there would be another statement from Joseph Goodman clarifying this whole topic. I’m glad I waited before I passed judgement here. The “cancel Goodman Games!” crowd...

I’m kind of in shock about this, hoping it’s not true. JG… Joseph Goodman… I’m really hoping there will be another announcement soon with a better explanation or perhaps a cancellation announcement. I won’t be backing it regardless due to tariff BS (I also heard this week from GG that a previous...
