    You. I LIKE you. Let's get married; I'm sure my wife won't mind! ARRRRGGH! SUCH PAIN! I was wrong! She did mind!

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Let's be honest, the folks doing the attacking are also often the types of folks who leap to terms like, "It'S poLITiCal CorReCTneSS GOnE mAD! They're coming for your game! They're cancelling everything and everyone! Nothing is sacred! THEY"RE COMING FOR THE CHILDREN!" :ROFLMAO:

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    This reminds me entirely of the wailing and gnashing of teeth in some quarters of the OSR after the disclaimers were included in legacy products. Folks entirely devoid of self-awareness who took a pretty standard (and accurate) disclaimer as an attack on them and their love for older games and...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    There's a subsection of furry culture heavily into lizard folk, dragon folk, etc. They're (unsurprisingly) called scalies. So, Lizardfolk actually count.

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    I'm adopting a "wait and see" attitude. I'll read reviews. I'll see how extensive the errata is. I'll see how it compares to 5e in final complexity and changes. I'll see if it provides options out of the box that support my preferred playstyle. Then and only then will I make my decision on...

    What To Expect In Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition

    I'm definitely interested. It sounds like they've listened to folks who don't like single-system bespoke dice (myself included) and combined with streamlining, it's definitely piqued my interest.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    So, @Morrus does this mean the thread merits a nice, big update in its lengthy historical overview post? :) Hopefully we'll enjoy an even bigger update in future when WotC are finished with their suit too.

    Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Coming from Magnetic Press

    The first flick, you're right but two was apes establishing their community, and three was full-on post-apocalyptic humans vs. apes. And the impending fourth film (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) goes beyond that and has conflicting ape cultures, regressed humans, etc. approaching the setting...

    Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Coming from Magnetic Press

    Eh. Had it been based on the newer (and forthcoming) films I'd have been more interested. The old flicks do present a gameable setting, but I'm in my early 50s and they were old before I reached my teens, so I'm not sure how much nostalgia pull they have for wider audiences. Plus, I think most...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    So, is it fair to say we're starting to see the beginning of the end of LaNada's legal shenanigans?

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    So, do we know about any forthcoming dates surrounding this?

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Update: 2024 Rulebooks & Survey Results

    Have they ever addressed or mentioned options that specifically support Theatre of the Mind play, e.g. zone-based combat, etc.? Something beyond ye olde eyeball or handwave the highly-specific measurements.

    Kickstarter Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness RPG Kickstarter has launched

    Eh, after the promotional partnering with Legion of Myth, that's a resounding "Hell no." from me, as much as I loved TMNT&OS back in the day.

    Kobold Press Releases Black Flag Reference Document

    Out of curiosity, what playstyles do they cover between them?

    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    An obvious example of the "I ignore it, I just wanna play." individual, is Ernie Gygax, who for the most part, was happy to roll along with NuTSR. Even if he hadn't made his own mistakes, he'd certainly still be tarnished by continued association. Rightly or wrongly, folks are judged by the...

    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    I'm not remotely assuming a universal consensus. I'd also argue that if you want to reach the widest possible market, you at least make the appearance of neutrality. And while you can argue that no publicity is bad publicity, that's not strictly true, because if a few more folks purchase because...

    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    Even beyond the horrible messaging and optics involved, it's a deeply stupid association on multiple levels, because if their licensor or the wider RPG public gain awareness of it (and bad publicity ensues), things could head south very, very quickly. And there's no way Palladium can say...

    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    They also seem to enjoy using a lot of slurs in their Youtube vids and I can only assume that Palladium either share their views or are entirely comfortable having a close and friendly association with folks who do. As someone who has loved ones directly impacted by the kind of hateful rhetoric...

    Palladium Announces New TMNT Kickstarter

    Legion of Myth are one of the Youtube channels Palladium work with a lot for promotional purposes. LoM enjoy ranting about "the woke mob," "the left grooming kids in schools", etc. I also remember when they called Catalyst Game Labs "Cuckalyst Game Labs" because CGL had offended them by being woke.
