He can clearly refute the second part of my statement if he has a mind to, but asking someone to state plainly about what they quote is not out of pocket.

I think whether it’s Monty’s quote or not, that’s a dodge. He reposted it, he’s bringing it greater attention. Call them out is all I’m saying. If it were WotC, they’d be named already.

I hate call outs that aren’t call outs. You’re talking about Darrington Press, right?

I think it’s a net positive for Darrington Press. Perkins and Crawford’s name recognition is not insignificant, but it’s also not quite the black eye that some may think it is for D&D either. Honestly, it still comes down to execution for both companies.

I do not see how Fat Bottomed Girls has anything to do with this. 😐

I kind of feel the opposite. There was so much that was campy or low budget or silly in the 80s that something actually intended as camp could slip through the cracks. My appreciation for BB has grown over the years (though I’ve always loved those end credits)

We just finished Gradient Descent for Mothership, and I think it took us about three months - maybe 9 sessions total. Great short campaign that ranks now as one of my favorite megadungeons.

It… …wait for it… …depends. 😁 Like, if the game is supposed to be a gritty dungeon crawl full of traps and monsters where the location is more important in name than any single character or NPC, I think that speaks to a game where the PC has to earn their hero status if they get it at all...

I’ve done the reset thing a few times too but inevitably it’s the same people who end up back on it almost immediately.

I definitely remember this - as kids who didn't always have regular D&D games, that fiction was a connection that we still had to it. A lot of kids who never even played the actual game still read the stories. I still recall going into my local Crown Books and just seeing an entire section...

He was barely there long enough for it to matter one way or the other.

So here’s a question - do you see people independently of MCG running Numenera at cons? MCG is one of those companies that puts out lots of stuff that seems really interesting but I never, ever see it “in the wild”.

I was thinking the same thing - the money aspect of it is the least interesting definition for me (obviously the creator has a different perspective). What good is a game that makes raises a lot of money or sells a lot of books and yet, I can find no interest online in anyone playing the game? I...

So my library actually has a good amount of Pathfinder, but so too does my local used bookstore - what they both don't have are D&D materials. I actually think it's kind of a function of some folks wanting to purge stuff from their collections and this is where they're ending up.

After a thousand posts from a username that promises more insight, there's not a whole lot there other than threadcraps and gifs. Blocked.

Are people still talking about and visibly playing the game on various forums, social media, and at conventions substantively after its initial release and hype? Is a community growing around the game where people are talking about house rules, tweaks, artwork, adventures?

Can I immediately cross post this to the Things I Learned thread? Cool stuff! Haven’t read Stout in years but enjoyed his books.

Not these forums - One day, OSR people are going to have to get it out of their heads that any criticism or friction with OSR games is not because the players are thinking in 5e terms. These are two different games attached by a name at this point.

Yeah, that’s the one bit of advice I didn’t agree with from the original post. Learn to recognize a good money manager. They are doing work that you wouldn’t want to do.

A lot of states now preserve anonymity for lottery winners because of many of the examples that post raised.
