As usual, fun story. Love the continued insights into TSR. Also, like others mentioned above I had a lot of experience with the crappy MILES equipment too. Buggy and easy to cheat with, that's a fact.

5th edition? You mean DnD 5e?

So the engine is like Fate and other narrative driven mechanics systems?

Surprised that you didn't spell it Bayern as a native. I spent just short of ten years in the area and recall many correcting my spelling it Bavaria at times. Miss the place, best ten years of my life actually.

I'm a big fan of the Ubiquity rpg mechanics system. Not so much a fan of the fact that finding the dice that makes playing it much easier is impossible these days. I'm talking about the white/red/blue dice, not the hard to read Modiphius Space 1889 versions. (sigh) Anyhow good interview, I...

You forgot "my opinion" at the end of that statement. Personally I think both have strength and weaknesses that make it so I wouldn't care to run either long term. I play them off an on but as a GM neither fill the slots I want filled for a toolbox.

Len did a lot of good stuff in those early years. I tended to snag anything that had his name on it at the time.

I'd been playing slightly over a year at the time that Dragon came out. I found the cover fascinating, it nailed an Atlantis feel or Elric's Melnibone. Even a little over a year into my ttrpg playing I had issues with DnD and ADnD 1st edition, Gygax could defend its combat mechanics but they...

Does anyone know whether or not with the modular design that you can add in a more active combat/defense system. ie; a dodge/parry/block sort of mechanics system.

Very fun read, I'll second or third for more like this. :)

Definitely the point of critical comments is to provide feedback in order to improve the product. At least that's always been my approach. Attacking the creator (or poster) isn't productive, my approach has been to always try to debate the points of why/what I didn't like and hopefully offer...

The last time I left a review, I got push back from the creators, instead of recognition of my valid points. Points others have made I've found later on various sites. If I am critical of something, I will list why, not just a "this suxs!" sort of comment. Just like I avoid saying I like...

The insiders's history of these events are fascinating, looking forward to more. On the Monty Haul thing, we were using the term by 1979-80 as I recall for some DnD games. I also recall a comic strip with it at some point. Wikipedia "Let's Make A Deal" with Monty Haul for those of you who...

Yeah I didn't even get to that part, since I wanted to focus on his focus on their damage a ability. A great point though, that I should have brought up as well.

Good ole' Dave Hargrave's Arduin Bloody Arduin, fun times.

What levels were you all operating at? Rangers are very powerful the first two tiers it's true, later tiers they're found to be lacking.

Origins looked like a fun one. My wife and I are big fans of Elder Dice, we snagged eight complete boxes from the kickstarters.

I'm too old, my brain went to the SLA.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbionese_Liberation_Army Patty Hearst kidnapping etc.
