What Bolongo said is correct but ignores some realities of the module's production. As the first-ever stand-alone Traveller adventure the format is odd - both over-detailed and under-detailed at once. The four pages of "suggestions" don't include the minimalist stats for the NPC crew which...

Not that I think TLG would ever do something illegal but I've seen some doozies when it comes to finding money in this industry. I remember working an office job when I was right out if college. There were about half a dozen gamers in staff of varying ages, and this one guy a little older than...

It's for sure not just books. Says so right in the first sentence.

That parallels my (US) experience. Read the first six young, never re-read them and have no sense of nostalgia, which is really bad sign considering I even gave the Belgariad series a second pass to see if it was what I remembered it being 40 years later. Spoilers, it is, and knowing the...

I don't know about <40, but maybe <30 when a maturing internet led to much more awareness of THAT SCENE and other problematic material. The books' popularity stemmed partly from years of new releases from 1977-1983 - and dropped off rapidly as that ended, seemingly forever. Early Covenant's...

There might be an extension piece or two in back that supports the whole thing through the wonders of body glue, or just forms a front-and-back clamp with the one piece extending down the front of the torso. that we can see. Doesn't seem like it would be very comfortable either way. The shape...

Supers RED Skyscraper collapse mitigated by teamwork

That window also provides a major workplace safety risk, as do the other ones you can see out of it. Just look at the height of the windowsills and consider how easy they make it to fall out if you stumble, slip, trip or get a light push. Hope you've got Feather Fall memorized, pal. That...

If you ask nice, maybe you can a autograph from one of the company founders. No one else left to pack orders at GTG these days.

I'd love to know how sales are for that DCC adventure. Ought to provide some data on just how badly Goodman Games is going to be hit over the debacle with City State and associating with Judges' Guild after their 2020 promise not to. Easy to say you're boycotting a company, not so easy to hold...

More news on this front, which apparently flew under the radar for most folks: On May 20th, Flat River Group notified Cheapass Games that the were nullifying the deal under which their subsidiary Greater Than Games had sole publication rights to the entire Cheapass range. More on the subject...

Sad anecdote about how awful one's parents can become: When the news about that fire being the result of a gender reveal party came out, my (now-deceased) father went off on a public tirade at a restaurant we'd gone too as a rare family gathering. In his willful, hateful ignorance, he'd...

You've never met my dad, then. He was a madman about never letting anything stay on the driveway that wasn't a car. He'd vacuum the maple seeds up and then get out the leafblower. He's dead now. Lung cancer.

If so, my proper category doesn't even exist. D&D was my first RPG by less than a week, after which I tried some newly-released Traveller. There was also a little boot Hill, but we played it strictly as a board game so I wouldn't count it as an RPG at all. It was 1977 at the time. I started...

That's actually pretty good news all around, and the irony of Trump's madness actually driving some American production overseas is rather gratifying. A drop in a bucket, but enough drops will drown a man. No kidding. American citizens are paying for his follies.

Very good synopsis there.

Sigh. When's payday, again? :)

Drat. Missed it entirely. Well, just have to hunt it down.

It's very good. Seeing the Ynn remaster immediately had me wondering when Library would get one of its own. Rather like using it with the Ultan's Door material myself, but it can be attached to almost anything without much effort.

Same. It wasn't until a few years later when I found my first really good used book store (we were country kids, so I had to start driving to find one) that I started seeing those familiar pieces on book covers. "Space Wars, Worlds and Weapons" was another big source of art for me as a kid...
