    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    The 1960s and 1970s were some of the most active times for the Women's liberation movement in the US. Anyone pushing back against that in that time knew exactly what they were doing. The fact that Gygax took aim at "Women's Lib" by name seems a deliberate and telling choice. I'm not...

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Some stuff I can disagree on and still be friends. Bigotry (and I'm not calling you or anyone else a bigot here) is not on that list. The mainstreaming of sexist or racist views, as if they are legitimate points of view to be logically and constructively debated, is false and harmful. Yes, some...

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    This right here. These tactics aren't new. The people pushing this stuff are not acting in good faith, or out of love for the game.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Musk is nothing if not impulsive. He is also working closely with somebody who is not known for forming lasting relationships. He may never mention Dungeons & Dragons again, or he may try to buy it next week.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Apologies, I was trying (badly) to make a point, and hadn't intended that comparison.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Gary was a sexist by his own admission. I appreciate D&D, but the man wouldn't be welcome at my table. Much as I appreciate cars, but would not take a ride with nazi sympathizer Henry Ford.

    Halloween: D4 Zombie RPGs to Try

    "Evil Dead's not a zombie movie. No, it's not. It's Candarian demons that possess the living." If y'all have never seen the delightful low-budget zom-com, Hide and Creep, check it out. It's funny as hell, especially if you've ever lived in the southern US.

    Halloween: D4 Zombie RPGs to Try

    Rotworld is a nifty, compact zombie apoc RPG that uses the mechanics from the old Pacesetter game, Chill. Complete in 60 pages, and a very neat game besides.

    Rebellion Acquires Tunnels & Trolls

    Okay, now I'm intrigued. My knowledge of T&T is usually on point. Is this the same con where Rick Loomis sold copies of T&T for Ken St. Andre? In California, IIRC? Oh, good. Fair enough, fella. Same, bro. Same.

    Rebellion Acquires Tunnels & Trolls

    You did see that I said commercially published, right? EPT was released commercially after T&T was. You are correct, and I was mistaken about this. While T&T contains some "D&D-isms," it undeniably has several innovations, such as: -Simultaneous Combat -A "Spell Point" system -Attribute...

    Rebellion Acquires Tunnels & Trolls

    Full disclosure: I am a a T&T fanboi. If I had to pick one fantasy RPG to play for the rest of my life, heck, maybe even one RPG, period, it would be T&T. That having been said, it's a game I love, warts and all. And there are some warts. I read in a blog somewhere, some time ago, that "every...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    ISTG WizKids should follow this up with a mini of the "classic" Morgan Ironwolf, but with a "bulge." That would be some top-tier trolling. I get high blood pressure just thinking about all of the salt that would generate.

    Hard same, I'm 52, been paying since I was 10. Inclusivity is important to the hobby, and makes it better.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    What's weird about this hubbub to me is that Elmore was doing work for hire here. The final product wasn't even what he originally envisioned and proposed. His original sketch was larger, and had two more figures in the foreground. It was, IMO, a better piece of art, and more representative of...

    Girdle of Femininity, maybe? Did people react this way when they turned Morgan Ironwolf into a dude?
