    D&D General Dave Arneson’s Pitch for the future of TSR and D&D in ‘97 to Peter Adkison

    Also, it seems that absolute power almost always corrupts absolutely.

    D&D General Dave Arneson’s Pitch for the future of TSR and D&D in ‘97 to Peter Adkison

    Honestly, this entire thread is, at best, not great for Arneson or Adkison. At worst, Arneson sounds clueless and delusional and Adkison sounds like someone who doesn’t understand why it’s completely inappropriate for someone in a position of power to put their employees in that sort of...

    NuTSR Financial Data Breach

    Greedy and stupid. What a classic combination!

    NuTSR Financial Data Breach

    Yeah, a data breach involves a private server getting illegally hacked. This was like Apple getting “breached” by directly emailing customers and sending them the credit card details and personal information of other customers.

    Gen Con Haul 2022

    @Egg Embry that’s a damn big haul. Where do you find room to store all that!

    News Digest for the Week of September 2

    Curious to see whether the clothing line is just clothes with Pathfinder logos or actually Pathfinder-inspired clothing. Also, yikes on the Tiamat cost. Surely not many people are going to spend $2k on a dragon painted to tabletop level?

    Can you use dry erase markers with the interlocking tiles?

    Planescape 5 New D&D Books Coming in 2023 -- Including Planescape!

    I think I’m most excited about the Phandelver campaign, but I’m definitely curious about Planescape too.

    RPG Print News – Chaosium, Goodman Games, and More

    Is Quests of Doom new in print? I thought they’d been in print for years now?

    Here's Who Won ENnies This Year!

    I mean, I’m aware of Critical Role, know who they are and what they do, but I obviously don’t know them well enough to know the name of their publishing arm. Sadly, of my group of 7, I’m probably the most well informed!

    Here's Who Won ENnies This Year!

    I have just realised I have become a RPG grognard. I saw that won Fan Favourite Publisher and had to Google them to find out who they were.

    Why Dragonlance's Margaret Weis Left TSR: A Slaying the Dragon Excerpt

    All these excerpts have definitely had that effect on me too. I know that’s their purpose, but damn has Ben Riggs really been able to show what was really happening behind the curtain with D&D like no other book I’ve heard of.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Grayshade, Alchemistresses, Libations, and more

    I wonder how much success BackerKit will have. They are well placed in terms of name recognition. Most seasoned Kickstarter users would have likely used BackerKit for at least 1 Kickstarter project. However, even with that, there is always inertia. People don’t want to have to change what...

    How Many Minis Do You Have?

    The GW contrast paints (and similar paints in other brands) are great for quick, tabletop standard paint jobs for minis you want to get on the table quickly.

    How Many Minis Do You Have?

    For my pre-painted D&D minis, I have them stored in a couple of plastic tubs, sorted into labelled zip-lock bags. So I might have an Orc bag, a Kobold bag, a Goblin bag. Then I'll have an Animal bag, with smaller bags within that for say, one for Bears, another for Wolves, another for Snakes...

    How Many Minis Do You Have?

    The Bones Black, which they now use for their smaller minis, is a big improvement over the original Bones material. It's much harder and allows for sharper edges. The original Bones material (which they've also improved) was too pliable and had stability issues for bigger minis and flat details...

    How Many Minis Do You Have?

    I wonder how much Reaper Bones and the availability of consumer-grade 3D printers has contributed to that. I've backed all 6 of the Reaper Bones campaigns now. Prior to the first Reaper Bones campaign in 2013, I owned only a hundred or so fantasy minis (and still a tonne of pre-painted D&D...
