    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Cool. Can't wait to share some fun and game memories and show you around. Cons are always great. There will be a certain hobby shop to avoid on the way to the NDP, but we'll manage. Kinda strange, though not being indifferent, just marking the sudden shift, but it is weird in a memory hole...

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Well anyone interested should probably PM me. Luke and I would need to know probably in a month? To schedule for him and for design lead time for me. I can then have my connections at LoRP do a short print run which would be a memento of the event, that is, a pre-run edition of the adventure...

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    It's the R-Rated TSR, and the R in this case does not stand for Rules. Wow I just lost myself in a triple entendre! Oops! On the serious side, nothing at this point redeems them as it would only be seen as a forced apology/gesture, whatever. Luke is thinking that they will flame out with...

    Sure do. It's a hoot. And you can join me at the NDP! If I get enough ENWorlders, and as I informed Luke yesterday, and he has agreed, I will design and run a special event just for them! A coordination feat for sure, but not impossible if enough folks join sooner rt later. ;)

    You obviously missed your delusion saving throw! Hah! Now if you show up at next year's GaryCon I'll introduce you to the Next Door Pub and buy the first round! Best pizza I've eaten anywhere, and I'be been around.

    "What is this [VOICE] doing here!?"

    Right. But they could force a "cuddle" with the TK ray... :)

    Except the emptying of my wallet and wits at once! ;)

    Remind me to ask twice before playing in your game... ;)

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Well, yeah, but this is not what he experienced around him growing up, either from his mother or dad or others like me. I could go on about the influences, what he saw us doing with the Castle & Crusade Society, the investment in gaming and game design for the love of it, not knowing where it...

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Ernie, at least in recent years, does not believe in hard work. Luke has offered him all sorts of opportunities to make money over the years and Ernie has declined. This is his "dream" opportunity to do a minimal amount of DMing and front man stuff and get his dream money from the "General" in...

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Without the adjective it just becomes "shield". No real euphemistic difference.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    If Ernie steps away they have nothing but a trademark. Yet he has referred to LaNassa as the "General".

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Some of Ernie's recalcitrance to do the right thing in his steep fall is also related to the fact that he is getting attention that he never got before. There is some jealousy for what Luke has accomplished, etc. The karma train is being dragged along by him and he doesn't see it. His awful...

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Yeah. Blame the puppet rather than the puppet masters? It started at the beginning when they said they were Ernie's opinions and not those of TSR. In truth there is more accord here than meets the eye amid all of the various blame shifting. You can hide but you can't run.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Spot on. The very Christian-inspired principal that Ernie was taught by his mother and father as a child, thrown out the window as "does not fit now", because?... Well, there is no because. You either are true or false in this case, you can't stand in the middle of absolutism and claim that it...

    No. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" for it is the same person.

    OSR Minimum Requirements for OSR?

    Though this is a little more abstract the immersive Fantasy experience is comparable to what Robert Louis Stevenson said about writing: "The purpose of literature is not to effect your reader, but to effect them exactly as you wish."

    OSR Minimum Requirements for OSR?

    Envision the feeling you got the very first time you played an RPG. Then attempt to recapture that wonder and suspense each and every time thereafter.

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    I've set my sights on Lanassa. Sourcing direct contact info with Luke's blessings. Time for Robilar to talk to the source. Sounds melodramatic but I'm serious. I lived in NC, Charlotte and Asheville, for 4 years. There's an old saying there for outsiders intruding in local or personal...
