I think the “other” for me would be lots of player handout material with some great artwork.

I don't recall from the podcast if Gygax was given a choice to actually stay with TSR, but he was offered a deal to keep the AD&D trademark and royalties if he were to settling his suit against them, which seemed to me to be a pretty generous offer and one that would keep him connected to the...

Which we may never know unless someone finds some record of the deal. Still, the full number of products released by TSR for Buck Rogers included a full TTRPG, video games, board games, and comic books. They did this for other settings, of course, but those were fully owned by TSR. If the CEO...

I think it’s highly questionable how lucrative Buck Rogers the TV show was. It was conceived right in that time following Star Wars when everyone suddenly had a space opera movie or show to try and cash in. Buck Rogers ran for only 2 seasons, with the second season only being half the number of...

Knew absolutely nothing about this movie, didn't know it was coming, started hearing about it on social media, knew it was a horror movie, and that was literally it. I thought it was wonderful. The music, the set design, the history, the costuming, it all blended together beautifully into...

Economic issues aside, I'm in favor of shorter adventures because it leads to people having completely different campaigns with different modules rather than "I played Tomb of Annihilation" or "I played Curse of Strahd". The downside is it's yet another demand on the DM both from a cost side as...

Is it worth tagging him and calling him out? Frankly he’s threadcrapped and made this personal enough…no need to draw his attention further.

People can say up and down that Williams on her own made several jaw-droppingly bad decisions post Gygax, but that was just not the time frame for what the When We Were Wizards podcast was covering. What she did later doesn’t justify Gygax’s tenure. There’s enough “bad” to go around.

Well that was certainly a mic drop.

People were not wrong in calling her an outsider. She was. TSR was strictly business to her.

Didn’t even know they had a TV show! I might have to check that out to see how it is.

One older one that I really enjoyed was Homecoming with Catherine Keener and Oscar Isaac - more of a conspiracy thriller but great cast for a podcast and well done.

No, but my point is with the ones that are gone now, it’s worth pointing out the ones that are still out there.

One site that’s worth noting is Rascal News - they’re still providing TTRPG coverage, and still independent.

While cutting off the greater community from contributing to it and bolstering the standing of its competitor that was continuing to make its product under the previous license.

It's both, but it's also never been unclear to me what is functioning as an article versus what is functioning as a garden variety forum post. The net effect is not much different than a writer publishing an article on Polygon, and then people would comment on it, with the exception that Polygon...

I feel like we almost played out this scenario with Paizo/Pathfinder and that if this were to happen as you say, someone like Kobold Press or ENworld Publishing would see a big spike in interest for their products. At some point if the D&D trademarks don’t see actual use in products, the value...

Do you just have the forum directly bookmarked or something? How do you miss the front page of the site?

Jackson “Butch” Guice, Marvel and DC comic artist, passed away at the age of 63. https://www.cbr.com/jackson-butch-guice-dc-marvel-artist-obituary/

I've listened to Mike's podcast where he went through what his criteria was for a "dead" game, and I disagree at a certain point. I think from his perspective, it's important to point out that as long as a game is available, anyone can still play it and it plays just as well as any modern game...
