As a company revealing your politics is extraordinarily stupid in this day and age. Its much better to just shut up, make money, and leave the politics out of it. When you mention politics you'll always lose part of the customer base, and unless your business relies on a political position its...

All I can say is the creatives that I have sat in conventions with and talked to claim he was. When We Were Wizards the designers that worked for him claim he was. I am not necessarily qualified to make that assessment. I liked Gord the Rogue so that is all subjective.

Ofcourse its not that important. But it is relevant on a forum for gaming. Nothing on this forum is "that important'. And YES, Lorraine Williams did stab him in the back. And she had HELP to keep her plans secret.

I've read about every book on the Business History of D&D with the exception of When we were wizards. But I listened to the Podcast. Even the designers and people with business sense like Mike Carr said Gary was an awful manager. A creative genius yes, but he was an awful business manager...

One thing that stuck out to me in Episode 13, funny because I am running the old Temple of Elemental Evil right now, is that Gary was expecting 10% Royalty on Temple of Elemental Evil, and he only wrote the FIRST part of it. Frank Mentzer wrote the rest according to the podcast. Frank Mentzer...

Laugh react for last line

It WAS cool. I regret losing track of my copies.

My problem with narrative systems (i tried to run Edge of Empire, it was a slog and it can't do anything better than WEGS or WOTC20) is they have all of these mechanics that 5e OR OSR the DM can just... add it. I have a friend that loves narrative systems but I honestly don't get them. Just say...

It may not be the kind of game they DM wants to run. I'd just flat out stop the campaign if the tone was different from what I wanted.

I don't think this is for a 5e crowd. I play 5e and AD&D now exclusively for fantasy now and I can't find anything in this thats appealing. I don't like "actual plays" because they seem scripted and fake and I think narrative emerges from players and dice rolls. This plays completely different...

I read this article. It does not contain anything that's not in this thread. It is paywalled.

I had them and I couldn't find them in any comic box I have 😞 I'm going to order all the trades but I'm holding on to money for my Disney World Trip at the moment.

Ah right. I read this so I guess what I thought was sheer speculation was actually just information from this. Thanks!

Noble Knight has this unpunched for $130 or so. https://www.nobleknight.com/P/16822/Buck-Rogers---Battle-for-the-25th-Century They also have a lot of the TSR BR Comics (Totally forgot about those). Another problem with TSR evident right there. Self publishing those comics. Sheer speculation...

Lol Babbages. That's a name I've not heard for a long time.

Unfortunately I never got to play it but I had that and some of the supplements. They were good reading.

It's weird because EVERY box set came with a market research card. I never sent them back in fact i found 3 of them the other day. I think that was the extent of it.

Im not personally complaining about that. I had ALOT of the Buck Roger's sets that I no longer have due to moving losses. Probably in the same box as all my Dark Sun stuff. My Buck Roger's input comes from the Forgotten. Realms panels at Gencon where the devs talked about how much they just...

Lol. He can influence power as much as all the other Boomers making Facebook posts.

I think the essay is true in that Williams saved the company, and in other sources I've read she was very kind to at least some of the staff. But the renown alumni of TSR have very little that is good to say about her. Her issue was not understanding the business. All My Children Game and the...
