Some folks have mentioned tariffs but it seems odd to cancel or mostly cancel a project that is tariff free if that project was otherwise doing well. My guess is the cost of continuing development was high enough and the interest so far was low enough that some number crunchers said kill it...

The part about "Easy to miss" when using a pistol in close quarters is true. Many years ago in a city where I lived, 3 Police Officers were dealing with a man armed with some kind of weed cutter while in his living room. For some reason, shooting started. 19 shots were fired at what in D&D...

They didn't really. Depending on how old you are, we have been through: Dial up BBS USENET Forums My Space Tumblr Instagram Teamspeak Facebook Twitter Discord Several replacements for Twitter/X and Facebook And a bunch I haven't mentioned. And all of the above are still around. Some faded...

Another variant to the crew in the Mod Van would be the crew in the large white station wagon/hearse with blue lights and the weird siren. The Afterlife crew is a pretty close match to the old Animated D&D group.

A price increase was probably coming anyway. My electric company announced a 10% increase for this year after a 3% increase last year. US Postal rates and those from private companies are also higher. Insurance cost have been increasing. The timing of this is probably so folks blame the...

A lot of countries are really a collection of smaller units that may themselves contain still smaller units. The modern United States is a collection of 50 states that are basically smaller countries that agreed to give up some aspects of nationhood as the price of admission. States are...

How long before someone asks after fighting one of these: "Do you want fries with that?" Interesting crossover. Wonder what others are being considered?

My solution to the "Is it a new edition?" issue is this: If/When the company's version of organized play mandates the use of the new "Its not a new edition" books and bans the older printings, It is a new edition. Until then, it can be called an errata update.

Agree on S1 of TNG. Too much Wesley saves the day. Why did they need the other 1000+ crew? I don't blame the actor, he had to do what the director says or quickly become a former actor. S2 was much better but with a different chief Dr. It found its stride in later seasons. Voyager did get...

For a mug that is all of functional, heavy, can be used as a weapon and rather pricey: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oceanusbrass/tankard?ref=discovery&term=Brass&total_hits=726&category_id=28 The Amazon mug above is good for a decorative piece. Gaming room decor is sometimes hard to find.

This. I missed an entire season of Wynonna Earp on SciFi due to the time between seasons. They didn't advertise outside of SciFi and SciFi didn't have any other shows that I cared about at the time. This was during the time when almost everything they had was some type of cheap "reality"...

Apparently, I am not up on some corporate terms. What does "Imprint" mean in this context? I really like the SJG website as is. It doesn't require lots of mystery 3rd party scripts, loads fast, and doesn't complain that I am using the wrong browser plus it isn't loaded up with tons of data...

In the US, I think the 5% ownership level is where you are required to file SEC paperwork stating you own x% of the stock. You can't legally 'sneak up' to 50% +1 share without someone noticing. But lots of hedge funds and other wealthy activists have forced major corporate changes with only a...

For the anti-puzzle group, leave the puzzle in but offer an Option B that achieves the same goal without the hated puzzle. Possible this is the day that one of the Players is in a puzzle solving mode. If this is that day, maybe simplify the puzzle a bit so the player might leave the game with...

The kitties seem like a redo of the Forgotten Realms Tressym.

It really bugged me that I had almost finished obtaining ALL the D&D books when that new fangled AD&D version was announced. And most of my playing buddies wanted to adopt the all new version. Sigh...

Pinball is from the same era as vinyl records. Vinyl is making a come back so why not pinball? Things that offer a tactile sensation seem to be gaining in popularity. $7000 + s/h + space needed means a no go for one in my place but still in favor of the idea.

As a player, I view "Yet Another Rules System(YARS)" as a detriment, not an asset. A new YARS is something I have to learn and then not confuse with all of the previous YARS I have already learned. Not saying a YARS is a hard pass but.... On Playtesting, 2nd the thought to pay attention to...

2nd the notion of slow news day. Of course, the time when the New York Times was on top of things is mostly in the past. Blood, Breed, Race, Ancestry, Species. Wonder when we will run out of synonyms that basically mean different type of critter? And Orcs as the bad guy was basically doomed...

For most normal games, the world ecology doesn't really matter to the average PC party. They can't really have any meaningful effect on the world ecology. Even if they go on a wild rabbit killing spree, eventually they either run out of rabbits and quit, flood the local economy with so many...
