I'm pretty fond of dice stats myself. If you're going to use a bunch of odd dice shapes, you might as well make them have significance.

Help me out here: are you sincerely appreciating how useful that will be to people who use your own game line (and/or Savage Worlds) or are you just being passive aggressive?

You're right that the Corgi books were mid-80s, and I would imagine (as you guessed) that they were to cash in on Lone Wolf/FF, etc. Most of the modules were late 70s early 80s in their original thin 9x12 booklet forms, too. FBI sold both for a long time. I bought all but one such Corgi edition...

In the UK, Corgi Books released a number of novel-sized T&T books, that combined a module or two with basic rules. So it was thought of more like Fighting Fantasy in circles more familiar with those books. In hobby stores, T&T was sold in a more traditional boxed set, alongside D&D sized...

Minor correction: In addition to DC Universe, D6 Prime/Legend was used in Hercules & Xena, not Men in Black. The latter used D6 Classic.

Sean, saw you in the Denver Post article on the convention! Good use of your "Interested Parties" skills in a different arena! ;)

I love these kind of historical articles. Thanks for compiling it!

I'm really happy to see more options for micro-publishers to get their work out there. As with Cypher Creator, I see this as a win for the reader/gamers, micro-pubs, and the system owners. OBS has to be loving all this, too, of course. It doesn't really hurt brick and morters either, as they can...

Margaret Weis Productions will be doing a similar program for their Cortex Plus systems: http://www.margaretweis.com/19-frontpage-articles/74-announcing-cortex-plus-creator-studio The more the merrier, I say. It will probably help to keep royalties level with or below WotC's version to have...

It's the last 30 minutes of this one. Quite a few good deals, so if you're interested in expansion rules for the Cypher System corebook, now is the time to chip in.

It's down to the last ten hours or so, and it looks like the All Books categories will get three hardcover settings, one hardcover expansion rulebook, one hardcover novel, three card decks and a shipload of PDFs. The expansion rulebook has me most excited, and if they hit a further stretch goal...

Absolutely allowed at my table. I only play with adults and adults have responsibilities other than gaming. If something requires an interruption, it requires an interruption. Everyone can check social media while someone takes a call from his wife. It's simply not that big a deal. If it is...

There is the limited license available for the Numenera and The Strange games that allows a publisher, after paying a one time $100 fee per product, to publish products. There's a cap on how much you can make from the product ($2000, IIRC) and you can do print and/or PDF. There was supposed to...

I didn't even notice. Well, thanks for trying when you did. :)

I don't know if it would help if Morrus added a Cypher System specific board here, or not. Maybe as a trial? I'm assuming the messages could be filtered back into general if it didn't maintain enough activity.

Connorsrpg: I think you're experiencing a side effect of MCG not having official boards. The installed base is there (hence the kickstarter backer number), but is kind of a diaspora. Google+ and Facebook's communities are the most active. Even in the hostile (to Cypher System, among others)...

I don't think it will be an issue this time because Wizards itself is no longer part of the glut. When they were producing multiple hardcovers per month they made the product line look bloated, and spent fans' gaming budgets before most third party titles were even considered.

Monte has been adamant about not being interested in resurrecting his older material (Ptolus, etc.) in the Cypher System/MCG, as it would be a step back. I realize that most of your back catalogue is WotC property, Bruce. That said, which of your prior works (if any) would you like to bring back...

Hi Bruce! What is your realistic dream stretch goal for the current Kickstarter? Yes, we'd all love a JJ Abrams production of The Strange as a TV show, but barring that. ;)
