I have the aversion and I don't understand it.

That FB post contains some very interesting future plans that include more products coming in partnership with Goodman. Quoting here, but happy to have this removed if the admins feel it necessary:

I've been comparing similar stuff (including the Mecha Hack) and ultimately I landed on Kill ENGN. It's really good, feature complete, has a surprising amount of flexibility (including 4 scales of mechs), and even has an adventure (at least one official one, and I think several others from other...

I personally love the 5e version of Undermountain, actually (Dungeon of the Mad Mage). While I think the form factor of a box set and bigger maps and loads of encounter tables is better, the 5e version is more of a "here's the highlights of every level, along with several great story hooks to...

I'm going primarily off memory, but I'd say that's pretty darn accurate to what I recall. Apropos of nothing in your diagram, it's maybe worth mentioning that these should be seen as stereotypes and loose interpretations unless your campaign is focused on these inter-relationships. I found it...

Sure. Perhaps my phrasing was bad, but also I'm not entirely sure I see a functional difference in what will inevitably happen, regardless of my exact position. JG wasn't given much opportunity to want to do better when DTRPG et al removed all their products pretty much everywhere. Well, until...

This can't be overstated. They took a stance (that's still technically up in a reduced form on their site) while working with one of the leading voices against hate while dealing in the background and making a product with the very people they were standing beside her against. That's beyond...

Seriously. It's like this announcement was designed to anger, annoy, or frustrate nearly everyone except the diehard "I'll buy anything DCC" fans.

That's fair. Other than these forums and reddit I'm off social media, so I don't know what the rest of the 'net is saying about this. Considering how thorough the culling of JG was previously, however, I'm heartened that articles like this and continued discussion in these spaces will have some...

It won't be small, I'm sure. It'd be interesting to see how it stacks up against their Caverns of Thracia and Dark Tower campaigns (and, obviously, their other campaigns like Dying Earth and Lankhmar, too, though it is a slightly different beast).

The OSR and RPG subreddits have clearly turned against GG since this news broke. Both here on ENWorld and over on RPGnet there are very long threads speaking out against GG. I see a very, very small group that is vocally defending or "not caring" about this, but they are an extreme minority.

What games do you play? Where's your thread asking for recc's? I apologize (sincerely) if I'm misreading your tone/intent here, but I feel very much like you are asking us in this thread to "do the work" when really you could do so and get more targeted answers to your real, underlying question.

There are many, is what we're saying. So many. So so many. Open a thread about this looking for recommendations based on whatever criteria and you'll have a thread going for WEEKS, at least.

Crazy there hasn't been any detailed cities since the 1970s oh wait /s Even DCC already has Lankhmar, so it's an argument that holds no weight whatsoever. There's gotta be multiple hundreds of products that serve as examples, at this point. I can think of at least 30 good ones, many from the...

For your reporting needs, here's some digging on Goodman's about-face.

Agree with the above; don't delete it, because this is knowledge that deserves to be out there. Also, mold festers in darkness.

As if we needed more reasons than that not to back this :ROFLMAO: Given the work already done, I don't see Goodman Games reversing course. And given how little of the KS community is really dialed into the drama of our niche little industry, I suspect there's no great financial punishment...

Yeah, that moment has a very self-aware feel to it -- they know we're talking here, I'd think -- but also doesn't directly address anything. Here's hoping we get more, and it's not marketing-speak next time.

Well that makes this much easier to say no to! My wallet thanks you for sharing that info so I didn't even have to click through. EDIT: And you know what? Shame on GG. They took such a strong stance on this previously, did everything right by Jennell Jaquays in the Dark Tower and Caverns of...

1. GMPCs - I used to care about my NPCs to the point of having feelings when they got killed or denied something that seemed reasonable for them to get from the PCs. I realized this was badwrongfun as soon as my players could clearly read the situation: they could tell I wasn't acting with their...
