I remember in 2005 when George A. Romero's "Land of the Dead" came out. In an interview, director Robert Rodriguez said, "It's been 35 years and people are still talking about Night of the Living Dead. No one is talking about The English Patient."

Underrated: Wizards and Warriors, a 1983 mid-season replacement on CBS that flopped (though it did win a Primetime Emmy for Best Costumes). I call this "geek media" because it was, according to show creator Don Reo, based in part on his kids' interest in Dungeons & Dragons. I'll eat my hat if...

That's why I prefer the Starter Set... 10 simple rules.

Flying Buffalo used to ship their Tunnels & Trolls box sets to the UK sans dice. Seems a "box of books" incurred less taxes than a "game". But Flying Buffalo probably wasn't a good business role model, and this was all a very long time ago.

Big announcement from Rebellion. As a huge fan of old T&T who was, and still is, skeptical of the proposed changes, this actially has me excited. https://rebellionunplugged.com/tunnels-and-trolls-is-coming-2025/

Scott Adkins. I just want one Bond film starring Scott Adkins.

April will mark the 50th Anniversary of Tunnels & Trolls. Of course, Rebellion's version will have changes. But they have said they'll offer some kind of conversion/compatibility, and third party support. I'm hoping they keep the back catalog available as well.

Makes sense. I just remember it was called EAP - Employee Arbitration Program.

I used to work for a subsidiary of Sears decades ago. They rolled out an arbitration program. Said participation was mandatory, yada yada. Well, a friend of mine ended up getting terminated. She entered the arbitration process. I was called as a witness, and there was a team made up of...

Sooooo, apparently the CEO of EGG is doing an AMA on reddit tonight?

He is also currently involved with Vox Day. Day publishes webcomics based on Macris' Ascendant RPG, has contributed to ACKS material in the past, and there is an ACKS/public domain Conan supplement planned, using material published by Day's Castalia House imprint as a basis...

I'm of two minds about this. Personally, I appreciate retroclones. In fact, Swords & Wizardry Complete is my go-to for D&D-type gaming. So much so, in fact, that I haven't felt the need to upgrade to the revised edition. I figure that as long as I have S&W Complete, along with OSRIC for...

Ratemyprofessor seems like it'd be real easy to review bomb. This isn't something I just noticed with Gillespie, I've been aware of it for years. As such, I tend to look sideways at anything posted there. I thing the bigger issue for most is that Gillespie requires students to purchase a new...

And the Cybertruck is a complete debacle.

Has anyone started calling Musk "Elania" yet?

There's also the possibility that a Musk-owned D&D would bring some of the worst creators and influencers on board.

This is also because much of the GOP is made up of "Seven Mountains" Dominionists, who are closer than ever to achieving their goals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_theology#:~:text=The%20mandate%20proposes%20that%20there,religion%2C%20family%2C%20and%20business.

This is true, and something glossed over by Grognards who insist that D&D was always inclusive. In, what, July of 1980, The Dragon ran an article about the sexism faced by female gamers. This was a known issue even then. Another canard from the "old school" is that gaming wasn't political. But...

Sawa Department Of Government Efficiency, or DOGE? Should have been called the Committee Responsible for Investigating the Nature of Governmental Expenditures.
