Yet again we have a handful of gamers coming in to whine about their hurt feelings over the "White Male Terrorism" label, purely because they happen to share some traits with the ones who are committing these acts. "That's hate speech! That's inflammatory! That's sexist, racist and wrong,"...

Well, as a publisher at d20pfsrd.com, I'm a bit surprised that this was rolled out without letting us know about it in advance, given that d20pfsrd.com is run by 1/3 of the partners of this new site (John Reyst). I double-checked my spam folder to make sure -- and I didn't receive any heads-up...

It should be 3rd Level. (The text is correct. The table is not.)

We hope so -- the funding will be open until August 25th, and the more we raise, the more we can do. If your local game store would like to get in on the Limited Edition (which won't be available through distribution), point them at the retailer-specific pledge level!

We are very pleased to announce that the Kickstarter crowdfunding program for the FAR WEST Adventure Game - Limited Edition has now gone live! The FAR WEST Adventure Game is a tabletop RPG featuring blazing sixguns, over-the-top kung fu action and far-out steampunk inventions, where you and...

Yes, it will have an SRD. There will be much more detail coming on the FAR WEST website, which went live today.

Yes, the Odyssey System is forming the core (along with some other ingredients) of the rules for the tabletop RPG portion of Adamant Entertainment's FAR WEST transmedia property (which will include the RPG, fiction, comics, art, mobile applications, webseries and more). More information coming...

WIth the dawn of a new year, Adamant Entertainment has begun an experiment. We helped to create the electronic-publishing market for the tabletop games industry over the past decade, and in recent years, we’ve seen the digital delivery of entertainment products grow in popularity. The...

Thanks for the kind words about Adamant! We're wanting to increase our Pathfinder support in the coming months, so if you've got any suggestions for the sorts of things you'd like to see, please feel free to let us know!

Interesting thought -- Everything I've seen from the Essentials leads me to think that it's emphasizing tabletop play (the inclusion of maps and counters in the Red Box, DM's Kit, etc.), and away from the DDI tools. Does this emphasis open the door again for 3rd Party support products (which...

RUNES OF GALLIDON -- a collaborative, community-designed fantasy world, with fiction, art, etc.

Not at all. We're just talking about the RPG community specifcally because of the experience that Malcolm cited, which is something that I've heard echoed by the transmedia folks I've talked to as well. I don't think it's unique to gaming. It's present in pretty much every fandom, to varying...

You are, or perhaps holding it to a ridiculous double-standard. Either way, you're mistaken. But fine. I'm not going to bother to argue with you -- anything I say will be picked at further, in varying degrees of passive- and not-so-passive- aggression, and there's usually not much point...

Somehow I doubt if I had instead used "on multiple occasions" instead of "often" that the critics on this thread would have suddenly calmed and said "Oh, OK, then."

Saying "Exhibit A" is the same as a multi-paragraph rant which includes telling me and Malcolm, personally, to "go die in a fire"??? I see from your profile that you're from Finland. I'm guessing that perhaps we might have a cultural/language disconnect here, because seriously -- as Jules...

You were spot-on in your analysis, except for this. I need to correct this, because it seems to be a common misunderstanding. Neither of us are "in the business of actively dissuading RPG fans" -- in the original blog post, Malcolm was talking about the decision of ONE OF HIS CONSULTATION...

I'm sorry to hear that in your world, it's OK for someone to tell creators/publishers that they're "whiny obsolete middlemen" who should "die in a fire" and "good riddance" -- yet when I point out that as exactly the sort of negative behavior we're talking about, it costs me a sale. Good to know.

Again, if people were actually reading what others have said, rather than what they think has been said, we'd be much better off. For example, lecturing me on adapting my business model to compete with Free is amusing as hell, considering that in my transmedia posts ---linked earlier this...

Ladies and Gentlemen: EXHIBIT A.

Multiple continuities are very much a part of transmedia -- but the key is that the continuities are generated and planned centrally, not licensed out to third parties. If you want to read more about the topic, check out these two articles on the blog of Henry Jenkins (author of "Convergence...
