I've played D&D for forty years, and have never read a novel based on one of its settings. Carry on...

I'm old enough to remember those times (note my avatar), and don't recall a lot of argument amongst the game's fandom of those events. (Sure, lots of feelings about 2E coming out, as with any new edition, but conversations about the company with regards to that were tangential. People were...

Yeah, even without the reactionary element, just the whole sleaziness and mismanagement concerning the company/trademark has been enough to turn a lot of people off.

I really don't think it's about memories of different versions of TSR causing any "heat" or "virtriol". That line of discussion upthread was more about its value as a marketing tool in the modern gaming era, and the different way people remember the company (if at all) impacting said value. I've...

Yeah, I think the tweet the vlogger mentions of gives the wrong impression. It's not that most campaigns go six sessions before ending, just the average. The average is pretty meaningless. It'd be more interesting to know what the median is. For datapoint clusters, I'd guess you'd probably have...

I think it depends on whether you're playing with an established gaming group of people you know, or strangers from the internet. The latter is definitely more likely to have a campaign peter out, or not really take off to begin with. As an aside, how are your online games run if you're not...

If you include campaigns that aren't completed, I can see that average being accurate-ish. Just this past year, my online group, with a single DM, went through four different "campaigns", but none were really complete. This was due to either it being centered around a single published adventure...

That statue looks awesome! I'd love my township to have something like that. It's like he's ready to battle kaiju. The relocation, though, sounds like it's for a number of reasons. Like it's 1,333% taller than structures in that area are allowed to be. And apparently, its weight is causing the...

In most universes, the TSRs self-immolated from a combination of mismanagement and in-fighting before they really took off. Others they were defeated by various members of their rogues gallery of villains, such as Jack Chick and Tipper Gore. In the remainder, a new version of Candyland became...

Or maybe the botched ritual opened the multi-verse and now we have all the TSRs.

I think you mean pedantic 😜

Stealing from someone in another thread, but this is probably all just an elaborate playtest of nuTSR's actual, secret product... a LARP of "Papers & Paychecks"

So, just saw something interesting posted on another forum. Quoting the poster there (might also be on here), with my own INAL disclaimer, as I can't vouch for the veracity of the statement (though someone here can probably confirm.) Edit: @JediSoth I see it was you on the other forum. Did...

If Justin actually meant to write his own name down multiple times with multiple donations, that's also violating campaign laws. So the typos theory does nothing to exonerate him. I believe LaNasa's personal history (pattern of behavior) also make intentional deceit more likely. Though I grant...

None, because there won't be any "left over funds" to make a memorial of any kind, anyway, for two reasons: The IGG campaign will never raise enough money to cover the legal costs TSR (LaNasa) will never declare the battle is over, even if they lose the case

This is something not clear to me. How can you produce proof that something doesn’t exist? I could see finding evidence of alternative arrangements existing, but that would undermine their claim, so I don’t see them producing anything like that. Or, if it was something that should be...

They bought someone else's cheap dice from a retail store with the sole intent of reselling them. That was... mind-boggling low-rent for a company trying to pass themselves off as the true princes of the former TSR kingdom.

Voluntarily dismissing? Maybe if they realize how screwed they are should they lose, but I wonder if even then, since they would lose face with their rabid supporters if TSR3 were the ones that stopped it from moving forward.

Just like Facebook! (To bring the thread back on topic. That was the topic, wasn't it? I think I've gone thread-blind.) More seriously, there's been a lot of talk about how copyright suits end up having the losing party also incur the legal fees of the opposing side. But what if it's dismissed...
