I'm surprised #Embracer didn't strip #Asmodee of their IP before letting them go. Maybe that wasn't an option. Or maybe they intend to buy it back during the firesale. It's a shame folks continue to silo their expertise behind social media like this. Yeah, how the hell does this even work...

If a RPG functionally requires a character creation app then it isn't a tabletop RPG. Yet a surprising number of so called TTRPGs are beyond most people's ability to play as intended without one. There's a reason MtG became the perennial hit it did, and the way it manages presentation and...

Numerous EU game companies such as #Cubicle7 already closed their forums over #GDPR, and the US is fast closing in with their age verification and privacy requirements. It's a veritable minefield at this point.

Not sure why folks are bringing up #Reddit when GG only mentions their #Facebook and #Discord, both of which are trash tier for any kind of coherent archivable discussion. And outgrown my ass, they just don't consider it valuable enough to support anymore. Now to be fair the legal climate has...

By rendering what/how PCs speak meaningless you invalidate a player's social acumen and force them to rely on their mechanical acumen, which completely changes what the game is about and which skillset gives you the edge. This is why we have different games which meet different needs, and why I...

Sad, but we all knew this was coming.

Sooo they dropped an entire 20 min video on how they changed the die roll mechanics. Again. And what they came up with... is the same mechanics PbtA has been using for the last decade. This has reached the point of parody, and I get the idea the team is more enamored with developing a game than...

RPGs are ultimately just a set of tools and procedures, so it makes perfect sense to use them to facilitate the parts of play you would not otherwise address by simply playing. You don't need a social system when you can rely on your own personality at the table. Likewise you don't need a combat...

The entire premise revolves around biological essentialism, and just because future apes have a caste system doesn't mean it's a good thing. While this would be my preference as well, it still doesn't eliminate the themes of biological essentialism.

It's no accident that #PeppaPig was mentioned in the same breath as D$D as #Hasbro's plans are the same for both: generating content on demand. They have all the media they'll ever need to train with, so they don't need to hire anyone. The results don't need to make sense, as the audience won't...

So I subbed to give it a proper evaluation and add some commentary. Let's see where things are in a month. Yes, that's my point. #Rascal on the other hand does. Because hypotheticals are my specialty, I'm familiar with the media industry, new businesses almost inevitably trip over the same...

So this issue came up on my search for ORC info, yet apparently neither #Google nor #Bing properly indexed this thread, so I had to invoke site search to finish the job. I thought this too, but truth is your derived mechanics are only licensed under ORC if you include the explicit declaration...

I dropped a superchat on #QuinnsIdeas' livestream breakdown of the film, though I'm not sure how much more obnoxious I should be about it. I'm sure there's a huge segment of the #Dune fandom who would be interested in but are completely unaware of this.

After reading both the ORC license and FAQ I'm apparently completely wrong, as it requires an explicit license statement: III. Required Notice. The grant of this ORC License to You is expressly conditioned on You including the notice statements described in subsections (a)–(d) below in a...

Do you have any data on how the duration of the campaign affects things?

Perhaps a tad ;) More like #HarryPotter territory. You forget the part where people tend not to buy outside their fandom, slow their purchasing of alternatives when committed to a multi-year campaign, and the indie market tends to exchange the same $1 among themselves. And yet creators are...

To be clear I'm in the "I want to believe" camp as I'm dreading the inevitable information dark age we're facing. This is why I'm being critical as opposed to ignoring it entirely. I wouldn't be so sure, especially when the quarterbacks are experienced in an industry and have different...

Yeah, I'd suggest everyone get their crowdfunding out of the way before it hits as it's likely to take all the oxygen out of the room for years after.

Again, what value are they adding beyond what places like #DiceBreaker already provide? Journalists who want to focus on journalism. I'm not, as plenty of professionals have no idea what they're doing outside their particular niche. And why would anyone pay to comment there when they could...
