Also, Mothership 0e was a $10 saddle stappled pamphlet, bit different scale as far as buy-in goes.

My very first RPG experience was not D&D. It was GURPS 3rd edition in YMCA summer camp, I suspect the "lite" version, though I don't really remember. And, since this was the 90s, Vampire, Werewolf and Mage next. I don't think we even looked at AD&D 2E (black border version ride till I die) until...

My intention was to not purchase unless there were big meaningful changes and from what I've seen, it's mostly been nothing huge individually. What changes were made were mostly not to my tastes (they did change some things I did like too) and more towards a style of play that I do not enjoy...

Dragonbane 2E next year then?

Sshhh, let me dream of earlier halcyon days. On a separate note, I once chatted with Peter while having a cigarette outside of a convention, while relatively inebriated, and I told him that the Primal Order was cool. He seemed surprised and asked if I had read it and I laughed and said no. I...

I'll be sure to back literal millionaire Peter Adkison's crowdfunding project. Feels good to help out the little guy, you know?

I don't think there are many D&D adventures that I think are great for me without significant modification. Adventures that I think are close to pitch perfect are ones that do what the game says you can do and shows you how and also have the right atmosphere and tone ( this is part of D&D's...

D&D combats at high level take long enough already without charging up for 3 episodes.

Normally some chips and whatever I've baked in the period immediately preceding the session, which is normally voluminous and unnecessary.

That's exactly what I thought too. That, or they were central to Abaddon's plan to blow up Cadia.

Also, I haven't read my copy much, but is it true that they don't mention the obelisks in this at all? Didn't Shattered Obelisk explicitly tie them to Vecna? Seems like somebody's plan changed here to me.

They're quite a bit different, but Mad Max in hell for D&D seems a pretty niche idea to come to independently without one being inspired by the other I would think.

I mentioned this before but I'm not convinced the designers conceived this one in a vacuum.

Same. Not all progress is good. In this case, there is a benefit but it is for the very few (surprise, surprise). I absolutely would stand in line to throw wooden shoes into the machine too.

This is how it started. It ended up with tables of the population density of future Cleveland in Cyborg Commando.

How is it different though? I recognize the reality of the OGL is that people like Monte and Goodman can lock mechanics behind product identity and nobody will find it worthwhile to legally challenge, so they get away with it. But, that was never the intent. The OGL made the product identity...

Same rules apply for this as does with videogames that do "early release" for pre-ordering certain SKUs. It's not early release. It's the release. They didn't get it early, the rest of us just get it late. They didn't bait and switch. It's just a poopy practice that I'd like to stop proliferating.

The opposite. If you iterate on open gaming content, people get to iterate on yours. That's better for everyone. It prevents situations like what Monte Cook does with his stuff. Where he gets to use all OGC from the OGL but he locks everything down as product identity. Which, you know, is...

Yo dawg, I heard you like RPGs based on a board game based on a different Cthulhu RPG.

Black Company rules and Arc Dream rules. Looking forward to this.
