Except that's just being good at being a CEO - that doesn't make her worthy of praise. Does it make Kevin Blume and Gary Gygax worthy of more condemnation? Sure. But the complaints about the lawsuits, the mistreatment of creators, etc, don't go away. Even if those policies were perpetuating...

In my case, I generally consider Gary, Kevin Blume, and Lorraine Williams to all be terrible for different reasons. I never moved in the circles online where the insults about her appearance and weight were going around, but I did observe the "They Sue Regularly" complaints, including from...

This in particular probably plays worse now than it did at the time, especially considering how TSR would go on to treat those originals in the bankruptcy. Also, if the lawsuits against GDW and Mayfair were to happen now from WotC/Hasbro, there'd not only boycotts, there'd be calls for GenCon...

Hmm. I'd actually unsubscribed during the multi-month break (during which time I'd assumed the project has podfaded). When notifications came up here that the podcast has resumed, they were worded in such a way that implied that they were paywalled behind a subscription.

There is a point you've omitted in the minuses - TSR's litigation under her tenure. There's the lawsuits not only against New Infinites Productions, but also against GDW and against Mayfair Games. There's also the legal threats against members of the fan community, including fansites. Yes...

True, but Arneson's Blackmoor was, basically, a bunch of variably organized house rules to Chainmail on scraps of paper, index cards, and sticky notes that are maybe organized in a binder, and Arneson, from what I've gathered, didn't necessarily feel like organizing it into a commercial product...

I picked up a copy of the original Delta Green at a thrift store once for about $15-20.

Hey, do we have a source for Dicebreaker closing, or is this just planning ahead?

Also, they are as close to Rules As Written a game designed for DOS can allow - complete with coinage having weight. (Unfortunately, there isn't really a bank in the games you can use to stash some of your cash in, like Bethesda would later use in Arena & Daggerfall.)

My town recently had a FLGS open. Their stock distribution was: a bunch of shelves of Warhammer, A ton more shelves of MTG and Pokémon behind the counter, and one small set of shelves (basically a 1x3 set of Kallax) for RPG books, mostly D&D. The do have table space for play, but they also do...

Yeah - I got my copy in the mail just a week or so before Christmas.

Hang on, what happened to the Valiant Universe RPG from Catalyst Game Labs?

Sneakerheads have money they're willing to be parted with, so why not.

There was a bit in a KODT strip with a throwaway gag about the uses of purple impalers "With Brian talking about 'slay and filet'" until they got into the main gag that was BA's new Critical Miss tables.

Particularly with the Delicious in Dungeon anime coming out on Netflix next year (and the manga has recently concluded in Japan).

Quick follow-up: The Strong Museum of Play does take board and Tabletop Gaming related material.

Man, I wish there was a tabletop gaming equivalent of the Video Game History Foundation for stuff like those convention programs and art slides to go to (the kind of ephemera that everyone thinks isn't worth anything and throws away until the time comes where a researcher actually needs it and...

It looks like it's been taken down. It may have been put up early.

I'd go with a hard PG-13, maybe a soft to mid-level R for violence, and PG-13 for sexual content.

Probably taking out another Ancestry that's too close to 3rd edition, rather than retconning the damn thing to something closer to the Creative Commons licensed 5e SRD.
