As long as it's not a bite of frozen beef, apparently.

Hero Lab is a great product (or was when I used it regularly in my 3.x days) and I don't wish the Stephens' situation on anyone. Hope things work out for all parties.

I was one of those '90s teens who fawned over pretty much anything White Wolf put out in their heyday, so I ran a 3rd edition campaign of Ars Magica back when that was the current version (ignoring the troupe play; I was in junior high and didn't want to bother talking my players into it). My...

I continue to be impressed with how Chaosium has turned things around the last few years. What a great "second act" for the company. I also appreciate when Abstruse takes the time to break down complex or minutiae-laden topics for filthy casuals like myself, including the explanation of "fair...

...Is it the magic? It's the magic, isn't it?

By god, you saw your opportunity and you took it!

I imagine this will come up in this column eventually, but Troll Lord Games is currently Kickstarting a 5e-compatible version of its pulp RPG, Amazing Adventures: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/676918054/amazing-adventures-5e-rpg Well funded already, knocking down stretch goals, etc.

I patronized the local game stores he owned (and still do, under their different ownerships) before he sold them a couple of years back. I can't say I knew him well beyond some regular customer-clerk small talk, but he was certainly a prominent presence in the game scene here, and will be missed...

I thought of it, too, but that would have been well outside the scope of what's clearly a promotional interview and would have come across as a non-sequitur in context.

Like last year, the musical bits were strange--careening between impressive and embarrassing, often within the same performance.

Not really! There is a warforged on the the cover. It was mostly him and Kate Welch getting closing-time sloppy about the end of the stream, prolonging the reveal, and taunting the Game of Thrones watchers who weren't there to see it. Presumably the content will differ from the Wayfinder's Guide...

....aaaaaand it's an Eberron hardcover.

I know it's all just marketing, but I've fallen for the hype on this event every year that they've done it. I'm going to buy the books anyway, I don't normally watch streaming games, and my Twitch account gets used for basically just this, but the spectacle of all those people coming together...

In this thread at RPG Geek-- https://rpggeek.com/thread/2204543/cubicle-7-announces-one-ring-second-edition--they confirm that this is the same product, delayed to update it to 2nd edition. They don't indicate if it's still going to be a Kickstarter project or not, though.

"Alleged plagiarism." Get a spine, Bethesda, it wasn't like it was subtle. (Yes, yes, I know: "liability" and all, but still...)

Damn, about time! I've checked their website periodically the last few years looking for this, only to find no books, but... CD-ROM? Um, pass. Long overdue reprint.

As recompense, we'll let you have one (1) "characters all die or go insane" joke on the next Call of Cthulhu article, or two (2) "virgins in Mom's basement" jokes on any given RPG article. Please use responsibly.

If I'm remembering their appearance on the Stream of Many Eyes right, to play her character she uses a bit of makeup, including a fake beard. EDIT: Just looked it up, and that's Sujata Day's character, Ichabod: https://www.girlsgutsgloryrpg.com/ichabod

Yup! As a comic book geek, our equivalent is the (mercifully declining) "POW! WHAM! BIFF! Comics aren't just for kids anymore!" line. Writers trying to "write their way in" to an article fall for it every time.

Baseless speculation: Since the screen is more generically titled as "Of Ships and the Sea," rather than taking on the name of the book to which it's attached (as has been the case for the other GF9 screens), maybe this indicates it's meant to be used for multiple upcoming themed supplements...
