When I was working, it was $50 to $100 per month, not counting snacks/beverages/fuel.

To which my answer is, "Only in some settings." So, once again, forming a false dichotomy by bad poll construction.

I got it, read it, decided not to run it. Character gen felt a bit too convoluted. The openness of the point spend felt too open. As does the list of playable species.

The ones I've seen (aside from Hammerheads) are Tales of Xadia and one other, both of which are sold as preadapted cores. They finally let me access the core book again (I bought after the KS but before the handoff), but never let me know.

Depends... Cortex Classic games, no. Those are a different game system with shared history and terminology. (BSG, Serenity, Sovereign Stone, some others.) Cortex Plus games (Firefly, Marvel Heroic RP, Smallville, Leverage, Cortex Plus Hacker's Guide) No, but much of their distinctive rules are...

I usually think of factions as being defined by the following: A common identity - what is it that unifies them? A range within which they operate. A set of 1-4 primary goals. A list of key assets they can invoke against other factions. If you know who they identify as, and their goals and...

It's also worth noting: Older streetcar systems on rail initially used equines... just like mine cart rail.

Setting matters a lot. In Traveller or STA, a big part of the heist is defeating the sensors.. in my preferred edition — MegaTraveller — using the conglomerate unit rules, I can use the average Dex attribute and the average intrusion skill for a single roll, or I can use core and each rolls...

I'd put it a firm B, as a streaming movie, but skipped theaters. It held my attention, and was a fun ride. Better than Covenant.

In for Dead Tree and Rapture Protocol.

Good Samaritan to Sphinx. Downtime.

No clue, but it seems likely. he did legitimately buy the US rights to LOTR.... Fantasy Flight, not First Flight. the license was transferred to Edge when Asmodee decided to hack up FFG. It's been reprints only, and considering the setting hack job in Edge Studios did on L5R's D&D5E...

It's worth noting that there are several modes of mystery... In some, it's simply about finding truth. In some, it's about not leaving unpunished bad acts. (This is the political side - show that someone is punished in a timely manner.) In some, it's about punishing the guilty. (This isn't the...

One of my groups is online. I'm 22 road miles from the store I run at. My store group disintegrated due to misanthropy by my eldest. Most moved to her group, which promptly fell apart, to her brother-in-law's group, which is also falling apart at the seams... I find online play considerably...

Legally, not for another (in the case of WEG Star Wars) another 60+ years. (Works for hire pub+95 or creation +120, earlier of.) In the case of Original Edition D&D printings 1-5, no point in the foreseeable future - their copyright isn't the issue (per se; it's still an issue into the 2070's)...

Another one that I just got reminded of due to answering a question elsewhere: TSR's Advanced Marvel Super Heroes. I've always found it a motivation to run the game.

Some of the pirate sites, especially Scribd, are charging for downloads now. That makes it more actionable in court. Scribd turned almost purely pirate long ago.

The Trove was taken down for copyright infringement. The last month or so of operation, the US Gov't had logging of all IP Addresses hitting it. Most things on it were not there with consent of the IP owner (including a couple works of mine, but since mine were never sold, I really don't mind...

Yep. I'll talk to the player about it if the group doesn't hold an intervention first.

Yes. In Traveller (CT, MT, TNE, T4, T5, T20, MgT1, MgT2, Cepheus Engine), the game itself can kill your character before you even hand it to the GM for approval... And if the stats really suck, many PC's put them in the scout service in hopes of the game terminating the character so they don't...
