Oh also - is the Riverbank novel an e-book or dead tree? It's not clear in the add-ons section.

I'm kind of worried about the add-ons like the tea infuser and other "cute" add-ons that could end up sinking the main crowdfund of Riverbank. Kevin Crawford had a post about the horror stories wherein a crowdfund would have been ok if they stuck to their core competency of RPG books, and...

Now they just need to do a supplement that's all dungeons (I'm only partly kidding)

How funny, my eye went to that too!

Side Abduction with leg full out may actually be more force for your hip. Assume your leg is about 1/7th of your weight - but from a fulcrum standpoint, out to the foot, it probably weighs something like half your weight. Plus, the mechanics of your body when sitting at the abduction machine (I...

The top line is of course the Best Novel, and the second line is the Novella. But check out the Series nominees. Fun fact (as you'll see in the wikipedia link) Seanan McGuire has been nominated for Best Series SEVEN TIMES (out of nine); and not yet won. I don't think this will be the year either...

I was going to say "Hozier! now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time..." But then saw who posted - @dragoner ! Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time..." Hope you are well :)

I love reading the PF APs. Never run nor played in one; not even sure if I want to. I just read them as another genre of fiction... They are interesting in that they are written by multiple people; often a different person on all 6; or one person does episode 1 and episode 6, the intervening...

Psychic Danger Society has a cool premise. I like the "Portent"-like mechanic used for the whole game. Runecaster also sounds neat. I'll def listen to both of those

Others may have chimed in, but I thought the same thing on first glance. Had to open it up and then zoom in. And you know what? In my head-canon, there's a high-priestess of Bahamut standing there just freaking taking that blast...

I am a bit nostalgic for that time when I had "unlimited" time to enjoy reading my books and then spending all day Saturday deep into the night playing. Also I am nostalgic for Traveller Little Black Books being $3.50, and my 1978 Player's Hand book costing $12 or whatever.

I am not nostalgic for the games themselves; but for the experiences, friends, and time at the table - which the games were a vehicle to facilitate.

Well right there shows the entire flaw in this survey. You and I don't have a definition for what "collecting"is; but no doubt neither of us matches with what the survey creators meant; and then 1000+ people took the survey in each country, and who knows how many definitions there were...

(I like a lot of those books - it's great that there are books from other voices also now on the shelves). And I will note that a lot of older books have been updated to have the "new-fangled" trade dress. Wheel of Time for example.

Huh, odd. My Gm collects minis to use in our D&D game; one of our players is a huge MtG collector (odd that MtG is not included in this survey - maybe it was another question on there); in another game two of our players is a couple who collect board games; and a third has a lot of RPGs too, but...

Yup! Literally a 15 minute drive from my house. However I was 11 when it happened, so I don't recall reading much more than the comics and occasionally the sports sections of the Globe.

In 1975, I moved from California to a town a couple towns over from Dover MA. I never even heard of this Dover Demon!

I think you mean either "reduces the per-unit profit" or "increases the per-unit cost" here? I always wondered about crowdfunds that didn't charge for shipping at the end. It was more common back in the day; less common now. Even before these most recent tariffs, shipping costs had been...

Ada Palmer fans, apparently there is a new non-fiction book - Inventing the Rennaissance. Interesting "Big Idea" on Scalzi's blog today. https://whatever.scalzi.com/2025/04/02/the-big-idea-ada-palmer/
