    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    Yeah, that's the most likely scenario. But if it is Michael, nuTSR's former PR person, whose job is supposed to be communicating, he's pretty bad at it as Chad. Not that he was great as Michael. Chad, though, seems to think over-communicating about all the stuff he could show, but only actually...

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    However, that is a reeeeeally low bar. 😉

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    Well, a Discord screenshot could faked just by typing something and attributing it to someone else. But they’d have to be a master of impersonation to replicate Lanasa’s horrible grammar and spelling like that.

    Worlds of Design: Doing it All Over Again

    Never a true "do-over", but occasionally a "retcon" of events, where things aren't played through again, but the narrative is adjusted to correct something, like an important rule oversight. Even then only on a very small scale, like the immediate round, and if a character would be severely...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Yeah, for someone to come to your convention to cause a disturbance, they'd first have to be, you know, aware of it. Definitely sounds like more manufactured drama from a certain segment of the OG D&D adulation crowd.

    So, when all those people register for TSR Con to get their free copy of SFNG 5E, what exactly are they going to give them? Or is the entire con just another... errm... con, and they'll disappear before everyone shows up?

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Lore Changes: Multiversal Focus & Fey Goblins of Prehistory

    It's been an idea in physics for a very long time, too. When that cat did/didn't die in the box

    TSR I think we’ve finally made it!

    Way too verbose and in need of a grammar cleanup, as per usual.

    TSR I think we’ve finally made it!

    Okay, besides the reference to Morrus, what's the relevance of the other highlighted sections? Are they dog-whistles somehow?

    D&D 5E (2014) Getting Rid of Variable Weapon Damage- An Immodest Proposal

    Except, unless your wizard got training with a sword from his race, another class or feat, he's not as good at swinging a sword. The PB isn't added unless you're proficient. (And that's ignoring the fact he also probably has a high Int and low Strength, making him even better at one over the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Getting Rid of Variable Weapon Damage- An Immodest Proposal

    Strong disagree here. I think PB being a single value reflecting a character's overall competency which then applies to their class specific abilities was one of the better innovations of 5E.

    D&D 5E (2014) Getting Rid of Variable Weapon Damage- An Immodest Proposal

    There was a Dragon magazine article around 1983 that had class-based damage for AD&D. College-age me thought it was pretty cool, especially since it eliminated the weird "blunt weapons only" for clerics. Nowadays, not so much. I was intrigued by the weapon special properties that popped up...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Yeah, I'd be totally on board with a new version that's not much more than a fresh coat of paint. It was pretty solid to begin with, using a simple percentile system as its core mechanic, much like d20 did later on, while also avoiding some of the complexity of contemporaneous percentile...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    There are a few things going on there. One is that nuTSR is "taking over" (whatever that means) the Dungeon Crawl boardgame: (There was also another tweet containing nuTSR's anti-woke hashtag "Play as you wish") So, they'll now have some more actual product. With Ernie's Jr.'s name splashed...

    OMG, is being on Drivethru so bad it's considered punishment? :oops:

    I believe so, but the left hand one is still using the lizardman image, which I think is still problematic

    And the “TM” by the Star Frontiers name. That’s not even part of the current lawsuit, is it? Is this another preemptive attempt to say “Look! We plan on making product someday, so the trademark is ours!”

    Yeah, I had to remind everyone of Poe's Law when that was posted on another forum.

    More importantly, did you get the promotion?
