    What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Existed But Doesn't?

    Was there a game based on Space 1999? If not it would get my vote.

    How Do I Escape D&D?

    I hadn't realized this was even an issue for people until I saw similar threads here. Maybe I am lucky, although my decades old game group has picked up and lost players over the years it has been always mostly consisted of friends. In my group I have always been the one who bought the rulebooks...

    What Podcasts are you listening too? The Golden Age of Podcasting Edition

    Oh, I did. Great stuff. I especially love the "Beyond Belief" and "Sparks Nevada: Marshall on Mars" episodes.

    What Podcasts are you listening too? The Golden Age of Podcasting Edition

    I love OTR. Suspense, The Shadow, Dimension X, X Minus One, Light's Out and The Mercury Theatre on the Air are the ones that jump to mind as some of my favorites. In the late 1990's to the early 2000s the Sci-Fi Channel had a great project Seeing Ear Theatre that gave us a streaming version of...

    What Podcasts are you listening too? The Golden Age of Podcasting Edition

    Only a few of these get every episode listened to but most get a pretty regular listen Science/Skepticism/Tecnology podcasts: The Skeptics Guide to the Universe The Weirdest Thing I Learned this Week Ask Us Anything Inquiring Minds Talk Nerdy In Machines We Trust History podcast: The Rest is...

    What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Existed But Doesn't?

    My choice would be for it to be set during the First Chronicles, or at least before the Sunbane really set in. PC's from Earth could be an option but I think I would rather them from the Land and I would have to say a hard no on them having white gold.

    What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Existed But Doesn't?

    This would be my first choice. Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed and Arcana Evolved borrowed some elements pretty heavily from it. I also think John Scalzi's series The Interdependency or Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space books would be great settings for games.

    DC Announces New Movie and TV Plans

    Somehow I missed the video when reading the descriptions of the projects. Old age has made me blind, I guess? It didn't really do much to quell my fears though. I guess The Authority could work since we don't have a JLA in the new DCU (I think? The continuity between the old DCEU and new DCU...

    DC Announces New Movie and TV Plans

    I am generally a fan of James Gunn so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but some choices just seem unappealing to me. The Authority was always an odd fit for DC Comics. For those who don't know they were part of a totally different company, Wildstorm, that was bought by DC and...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Permanently Removes The Term 'Race'

    This isn't meant to be offensive or condescending, but you are not understanding how the sciences work. Scientists, archaeologists included, are always examining and testing different hypotheses but they won't examine every alternate one because it doesn't make sense to do so if the source is...

    WotC Backs Down: Original OGL To Be Left Untouched; Whole 5E Rules Released as Creative Commons

    You are right. Thats's why I said eventually and didn't specify the next edition.

    WotC Backs Down: Original OGL To Be Left Untouched; Whole 5E Rules Released as Creative Commons

    Lots of pages, didn't read them. I'm glad Hasbro/WotC backed off, but I wouldn't count on long term changes when it comes to their corporate philosophy. Just an example to keep in mind: I work for a major cell phone provider and many years ago they decided to charge customers who wanted to pay...

    Dragon Reflections #63

    I love these looks back at old issues of Dragon. I loved picking up this magazine and while the internet has far more gaming info than a monthly magazine could ever hope to cover (and is a great tool in its own right) nothing beats the anticipation of driving to the mall, going into Waldenbooks...

    How do you pronunce "grognard"?

    I have never said it out loud so if you imagine pure silence then that's how I pronounce it.

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    Nope. If Hasbro/WotC had acted in good faith I would have purchased other products from them if they published them and if they interested me. Therefore, I would have had a way of staying but since they haven't acted in good faith I won't. I'm not really sure what your point here is. WotC has...

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    Well, that depends on what you mean by stay. I don't play 5E so what WotC does in regard to it doesn't matter to me so then no, my behavior won't change and I won't purchase WotC games because I don't currently. If WotC came out with something I thought was interesting in the future then I...

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    I think you are mischaracterizing people's anger here. I don't play D&D and more and haven't in well over a decade but I have and do play games that exist because of the OGL and want to continue doing so. I don't want to see D&D burned down and I doubt others do either. What I do want to see...

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    If that's true then good for the 3PP who rely on them but as I've said before; Hasbro/WotC has proven to be a poor caretaker of the largest game in the hobby and doesn't operate in good faith. Too little, too late.

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    Regardless of whether this announcement is good or bad (your opinion may vary) the deauthorization of OGL 1.0 is still B.S. and WotC has already shown they don't operate in good faith. At this point, even if they walked everything back it would be too late for me. Also, the provision on no...

    Cancelling MTG accounts as the next move

    Why is that hard? I don't currently buy any products from those companies or use any of those services, with the exception of Amazon, without even trying. As far as Amazon goes, there is very little they offer I can't get elsewhere and the few things they offer I might not have access to...
