I would agree. Certainly once we start battling over more, less, or certainly what admixture. One person can provide very little, but that part was crucial. Records can indicate one person can be the one that hits pay dirt, but how much of the ground they excavated may be unknown. The amount...

The poll title states deal-breaker and not red flags, so I answered that question and then also the 'explain below' option. My deal breakers are: AI*, creator personal reputation**, and products for which I have no use. *At least at this point and the foreseeable future. I do not see a way to...

I wouldn't worry. The idea that LaNasa should perform a humiliating act he made his female employees do is likely beyond his comprehension.

Who do you think is doing this? FWIW, my impression of this site has been that people here are generally expressing their own personal opinions about the subject at hand unless otherwise noted. Going into threads with that assumption has kept me from making any number of unnecessary negative*...

I think that, in general, the socializing and players is the primary thing. I think that's likely true for most gamers, in general and on the forums (it's just harder to talk about the players here, since you haven't met them and explaining how that twinkle David gets in his eye when he rolls...

Note: I read through this thread and noted people for quoting. By the time I was finished, I had so many quotes that no one would read a full response to everyone. So I am going to talk in generalities. That does mean I am going to repeat a lot of what others have said. I think the question...

Note: preemptively stating that all of this is opinion. I think overall this is true. The discrepancy increases the less theoretical you are speaking and the more of the nuances of the AD&D game you add. If you pretty much had your to-hit table (or ThAC0) and the enemy had their AC, I think...

It seems relevant to the post to which they were responding.

spooling off these more than responding to or addressing either specifically. I've always found the notion that big changes <==> new edition to not line up with past history. I'm thinking of: How differently oD&D plays with or without the supplements (particularly Supplement 1: Greyhawk, with...

Between the fascination with Web3.0 tech, self-described 'serial entrepreneur' and funding from something called the 'Hustle Fund,' every part of this just oozed of 'closer' culture and high-energy corporate trainwreckage to me. Much like investment schemes, debt purchasing, patent/IP trolling...

Re: WotC getting rid of books -- we can tapdance around this for 3 pages or 30. All I have to say is 'bring your receipts.' If you have verifiable and corroborable evidence that WotC is going to shift to an exclusively no-print-version business model, feel free to bring such evidence forward...

I pulled that list together mentally to include stuff that has failed to come back to market, came back and bombed, and stuff that has been revisited but only sparingly. Monty Python (well, some of the movies of Monty Python) still have some cachet. However, aside from a few stage adaptations of...

They were commenting on you literally complaining that no one would stop and argue with you over it. As in, no one was taking the bait. Which, notwithstanding one comment from them and now one from me, seems to be universally the case. Tent Pegs, Gully Dwarves, walking treasure chests, pig...

Okay, I have read through the thread once and here are some initial thoughts-- First off, I am disappointed. I had high hopes for this. This clearly was a labor of love for JM and I felt confident that the IP was in good hands. Also, the cost of producing a CGI-heavy show, while still...

To the best of my knowledge, there was just the Silver Anniversary Boxed Set, which included reproductions of Keep on the Borderlands, Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl, Hall of the Fire Giant King, Ravenloft, White Plume Mountain, and a 5th printing oD&D set.

I don't fundamentally disagree, but I think the should in this sentence is probably the part worth discussing. Should a company or product's anniversary be a big deal (at least to the point where it not being treated as such is notable)? I guess I don't know. I certainly know everything from...

Tim Kask was around for quite some time during both the MAR Barker legacy-implosion and the start of the NuTSR saga. He and Kuntz could answer questions Peterson might not have (the downside of rigorous primary-source only sourcing is that there are some things you simply won't find definitive...

Yes and no. First, yes, no one is doing anything with Mickey Mouse this year except because they see it as somehow sticking it to the mouse and really cheesing off a big corporation (with whom they may or may not have existing axes to grind). Second, Micky Mouse is incredibly boring in most...

Firstly, I don't think anything has to be 'a bug,' but there are better and worse approaches, and things that do or don't cause issues. Regardless, I think these two points highlight my preference. For me, the 'depowers Superman' variety of Kryptonite helps the DC storytelling as is a good way...

I'm going to say West, and here's my reasoning: 1) The goal is best Batman, not best Bruce Wayne or best transition between the two. Keaton masters the Bruce/Batman Duality (and is generally my top pick when both roles are considered), but that's not the goal here. West's Wayne is not the best...
