On both sides, with greater/full US access to Chinese markets. We'll see if it holds.

They are most just Judges Guild-eque collections of charts, cryptic seeds, and general color. Useful only if the GM wants to put in a lot of work.

The shame mounts....

I would say to look to games in later periods. Flashing blades is focused on that trope. 7th Seas has more than most.

The drawback to WLC is that it is a poor quality scan, so its usefulness is much reduced. On the plus side, its on sale.

Mutant Year Zero has a core 'community-building' aspect, in which the PCs direct the creation and expansion of a village (called an Ark, IIRC). The Morrow Project 4e has extensive rules and resources for community-building.

The company I use has a uniform, so if he wasn't wearing that uniform, there would be an issue. There's a big difference between having an opinion that is different from mine, and walking around in inappropriate clothing.

More or less. When I hire a plumber, I don't quiz him on his political or moral views; I just want a plumbing job done, and done well.

That's true of everything. Forums and Reddits covering hobbies seldom represent the majority, because the majority isn't deep enough into the given hobby to bother posting. I see it in my other hobbies: there's always the handful if diehards who love discussing and probing the nuances of the...

Another vote for Blue Planet. The production quality is/was spectacular, and the setting is extremely good. Its only weakness that I recall was a very thin metaplot/enemy faction.

PDFs are exactly the same.

Got mine, from 1979.

Unless your group has really wonky wi-fi service, that's a thing of the past. We've been using Roll20 + Discord audio for over six years, and the most we've ever had, and it is extremely rare, is someone having to restart on of the systems, and that's an issue of a couple minutes, and never...

Our online group, which has been together for years, doesn't use video, just audio.

Except franchised games seldom last. I'm with MIcah. And lets face it: game design is largely an art, not a science, so there is often little difference between 'professional' and 'amateur'. Particularly in this era, where pay and job opportunities are scarce enough that a lot of professional...

True. But given the track record of franchise-based products, I would say the odds are about equal.

Roll20 games tend to be more combat-dynamic. But yes, GMs are in demand.

Have you tried online gaming? The sheer volume of people looking for a regular game is staggering.
