I used to work for a subsidiary of Sears decades ago. They rolled out an arbitration program. Said participation was mandatory, yada yada. Well, a friend of mine ended up getting terminated. She entered the arbitration process. I was called as a witness, and there was a team made up of...

Sooooo, apparently the CEO of EGG is doing an AMA on reddit tonight?

He is also currently involved with Vox Day. Day publishes webcomics based on Macris' Ascendant RPG, has contributed to ACKS material in the past, and there is an ACKS/public domain Conan supplement planned, using material published by Day's Castalia House imprint as a basis...

I'm of two minds about this. Personally, I appreciate retroclones. In fact, Swords & Wizardry Complete is my go-to for D&D-type gaming. So much so, in fact, that I haven't felt the need to upgrade to the revised edition. I figure that as long as I have S&W Complete, along with OSRIC for...

Ratemyprofessor seems like it'd be real easy to review bomb. This isn't something I just noticed with Gillespie, I've been aware of it for years. As such, I tend to look sideways at anything posted there. I thing the bigger issue for most is that Gillespie requires students to purchase a new...

And the Cybertruck is a complete debacle.

Has anyone started calling Musk "Elania" yet?

There's also the possibility that a Musk-owned D&D would bring some of the worst creators and influencers on board.

This is also because much of the GOP is made up of "Seven Mountains" Dominionists, who are closer than ever to achieving their goals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_theology#:~:text=The%20mandate%20proposes%20that%20there,religion%2C%20family%2C%20and%20business.

This is true, and something glossed over by Grognards who insist that D&D was always inclusive. In, what, July of 1980, The Dragon ran an article about the sexism faced by female gamers. This was a known issue even then. Another canard from the "old school" is that gaming wasn't political. But...

Sawa Department Of Government Efficiency, or DOGE? Should have been called the Committee Responsible for Investigating the Nature of Governmental Expenditures.

Elon Thread II: Electric Vehicle Boogaloo

As someone in his 50s who first played D&D around 1980, I just wanna say... DESTROY ALL GROGNARDS*. And this is coming from a guy who doesn't like 5E, really doesn't like much D&D after 2E, actually. And Kuntz? Imagine arguing that a man who said, "I am sexist" wasn't sexist, then comparing...

Xungeons & Xragons (tm)

"This foreword isn't a good place to discuss the sexism and racism of early D&D" is a very privileged take. You know who doesn't get to choose when to acknowledge or engage with sexism? Women. You know who doesn't get to choose when to acknowledge or engage with bigotry? Marginalized people. It...

What @Bedrockgames and others may be missing here, is that the disclaimers aren't about "guidance" or telling folks how to feel about or interpret the sexist or racist parts of older products. In fact, there is a tacit assumption that the reader knows that these things are bad, which is giving...

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the "Gary put a prospective female employee up at his house" posts: Gary's second wife, Gail, was a former assistant of his. An employee or co-worker, I'm not sure which. And I'm not clear on the timeline. But between this and the fact that in WG7 Castle...

This is also one of the reasons that I continue to engage with you. Our strong and frequent disagreements aside, I think you are a good and sincere person at heart. We are fundamentally at odds over certain issues, but none of those that are a "deal breaker" for me.

This assumes that both parties are arguing in good faith. If they are, geat. But if not, then this approach fails.

This is not a personal attack, and I have no animus against @Bedrockgames , but I think it's fair to point out that he is a publisher of RPGPundit, who he has also called a friend, and defended. I'm not saying this makes him a bad person, or wrong, but I think it bears consideration when...
