CR has been pretty solid about putting out miniseries/one-shots of systems that aren't D&D - there was Undeadwood with Deadlands (but, due to Brian Foster, is probably now lost to the ether), Monsterhearts, Honey Heist a few times, etc.

I just skimmed this but the C&D immediately reminded me of the recent Funko legal AI issue and the havoc it played with itch.io

It really hit me when I just made a 2024 fighter with a greatsword and saw Graze. That's definitely some 4e stuff right there

Let me put forth X-crawl. System is basically 3.5 D&D. Setting is: It's Earth where Roman culture never fell, and Christianity remains an underground cult. America is run by Ronald Reagan, who takes advice from a magical, intelligent short sword. The main event for the 'bread and circuses'...

I love, re: the Forever War, talking about the 'high price' of $17. I think most of us would be happy to pay $17, but... that was a different value for when this issue came out.

The best villains believe they are the true hero. I mean, even looking at Ozymandius in Watchmen.

A friend had run a Rolemaster campaign with factions - Law, Chaos, Good, and Evil. Each end of the axis had a champion, and what was making the universe start to fall apart was Evil had two people fighting to be its champion, Law had become utter stasis, and other existential messes. He made...

The best/my favorite enemy I've faced was an ettin cultist. He was hyper intelligent, and I believe one of his heads actually had class levels (this was 3.0). I believe it was based on something from Book of Vile Darkness (?) where a character had a tumor but the tumor was a sentient...

Previous session: Esseray battlecruiser? I charge it. Latest session: Making surprisingly successful diplomacy checks. [Mongoose Traveller 2e, post-Fall of Tinath campaign]

It's interesting to see what actors play tabletop games, and then it's interesting to see people be introduced to D&D that you'd either have never thought of in combination with gaming (I'm thinking of Dimension 20's Dungeons and Drag Queens here) or people you'd have thought would have been...

One of my favorite Dragon articles was about using cursed items for positive effects. The author had started when he found a dagger of venom and kept it. The DM said that the poisoning was Evil, but the player filled the dagger with holy water and would use it against undead - and as he said...

One of my favorite set ups in a Dragon fiction was a party that went after a white dragon... that breathed fire because, come to find out, it was a WIGHT dragon.

I vote for Gangbusters. I mean, any system where you have a class where you can go from a Jimmy Olsen to a J Jonah Jameson and get XP for yellow journalism? :) Actually, one cool concept, way ahead of its time, was as you got xp, you could spend it to buy new skills like lockpicking or combat...

I think that's the problem and why we need to be pro-active about making our changes. It doesn't matter the situation - all too often, the oppressed or bullied, once they get some element of control and power, use it against others. It's not always conscious - when all you have is a hammer...

In Xcrawl (back in the 3.x days at least), magic items were limited in that only X company made Fiery weapons, only Y company made Thundering weapons, etc. So trying to find certain items required winning dungeon crawls sponsored by X or Y company. That's one concept I love from the world -...

Sorry to trigger you. My first comment was about Gary's previous comments... which were, surprise, referenced in the foreword to the book. I apologize I wasn't clear enough about that for you or others. It's not limited to just what he wrote in the 1970s if he wrote about it in the 2000s when...

I feel that part of the problem with this is our culture is becoming more divisive. This is known. Where the problem comes in regards to Gary, I feel, is a lot of people are trying to use things he's said against another side. Some are pro-sexist, and some are anti-sexist. Neither, I feel...

Oh, I think the Hasbro purchase would be purely for political clout - fighting back against the 'woke culture'. $9B is a drop in the bucket for him. He's buying appearances if he buys Hasbro, I think. Twitter is just pure data to feed AI, and he'd have access to all the data that's come before.

I think the real value to Musk buying Twitter is that it's free fodder to feed his AI development. I'd seen an interesting video with Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank talking about a conversation with his son about investing in Tesla. Mr Wonderful was like it's just a novel car company, but his...

He has more 6/10 movies on IMDB than I expected. No. But, I don't see a lot of big budget movies, so to me, it's chicken/egg. What could he do with a solid script and solid budget? We'll never know. I suspect also alot of his films, since most seem to be video game adaptions, are like...
