Not exactly, but it's related. It seems Gillespie has added his voice to the chorus of grognards who seem to think that old white guys are the real victims of persecution (for the record, I'm an old white guy). His review of the D&D movie was bizarrely built around the idea that it was designed...

It's more the "white grievance" stuff than the so-called "anti-Marxist" stuff for me. So, yeah, I'll be giving this one a hard pass. I wouldn't buy any product by Gillespie, even if there wasn't already so much great OSR product out there by people far more worthy of support. Not to mention, I'm...

Classic "picture book" WWI aerial combat game Ace of Aces is getting a new edition, which is now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. I am not in any way affiliated with the game, or any company producing or promoting it. I'm just a fan since the 1980s, and am thrilled that the game is seeing a new...

I typically use DM, GM, Referee, Judge, or whatever the game I'm currently running calls it. My players tend to use Game Master, that is, when they're not just using my name. Which they usually are. One player in particular only uses "Game Master" kind of a sarcastic way when he feels he's about...

THAC0 - pronounced tha-KEER-a, like "Shakira" Crits Don't Lie

Jennell Jaquays' Illustrations for Blue Frog Tavern, a Tunnels & Trolls solo adventure, are some of my favorite in any module, ever.

And he wrote a series of blog posts subscribing to the theory that Pence could refuse to certify the 2020 election. He's also just announced an upcoming ACKS supplement based on a book published by neo-nazi Vox Day's own Castalia House Publishing. People making excuses for him remind me of...

Yep, like the just-released Lair of the Leopard Princesses by Sarah Newton of Mindjammer fame. It's a full-on, pulpy, Sword & Sorcery game with a cool setting that takes M!M! (and by extension T&T) to some neat places. I wasn't too excited about this, to be honest, but curiosity got the best of...

Chirine Ka Bal acknowledged that this was known to the Tekumel Foundation in Barker's lifetime by some of his peers, and after his death by even more. While I can understand not knowing how to deal with something like this, the fact is that an attempt was not even made. That having been said, I...

Barker was on the editorial board of that publication for around a decade. All of the issues are on the Internet Archive.

Worth noting that even if Barker wasn't an actual uniform-wearing, goose-stepping nazi, he can still be (and by the available evidence certainly was) an anti-Semite. As to his being Muslim, racist movements have a long history of strange bedfellows. Dan Burros, a prominent Klan member in the...

This should be going live in about a week... https://gamefound.com/projects/cbatarlis/talislanta

While a lot of the Talislanta races have the Star Trek problem (i.e., humanoids/humans with "brow ridges"), I'm not sure I agree that they actually have elves just because some of the races are fair or have pointed ears. From a cultural standpoint, I don't really see anything analogous to elves...

Necro, but it appears there will be a crowdfunding campaign in January: https://gamefound.com/projects/cbatarlis/talislanta

Aaaah! I somehow missed this Kickstarter. Hope it will be available for purchase afterwards. I really like Troika. It's just such a well-considered design. I ran it for my group, and most of them liked it. We played the introductory adventure from the book, and I added a pamphlet adventure...

The Pudding Pop Rapist and his I Spy co-star Robert Culp were also in a fantastic early '70s detective flick called Hickey and Boggs (which Culp directed). Dynamite film, really good, but good luck getting anyone to watch it with you these days. I mean, I get it, it's just tainted now.

According to Chirine, former archivist for the Tekumel Foundation, some members were aware of Barker's views well before he died. I can see no reason to doubt his account.

Barker's name appears as "Philip Barker, Ph.D." from Minneapolis, MN in the "Journal" from 1989-2002. Easy to find on the Intenet Archive (not linking for obvious reasons, even though ithe Archive is not a racist site). I mean, it's just getting impossible to believe that this isn't him.

At some point within the last couple of months, Pundit posted on his own site that "India wouldn't exist without colonialism" and some time back, he posted "F--- every single Palestinian." These statements, these posts, are up on his site right now. These are statements he has willingly made...

[/b]TABLE OF CONTENTS, DESIGNER'S NOTES, CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND CHAPTER 2: HOW TO PLAY[/b] First off, I want to say thank you for your patience. I know it's been a minute. Upon further reading, it becomes clearer and clearer that the new presentation is, well, clearer. The fonts are...
