    Your best live action Superman?

    Routh's Kent was amazing and seamlessly falls in as a continuation of Reeve. It does not get enough love because that plot. Ugh.

    Strike Ending & Amazon Antitrust - Streaming Services: Power Rankings, FALL 2023

    I haven't been excited about HBO content since Dream On ended.... edit: A Joke. I enjoyed Titans. I just can't resist the urge to name-drop what might be the original meme comedy.

    Multiple "AI Art" Updates and Controversies in Tabletop Gaming

    Yes, and they are complex. For example, I worked for a generally fantastic company ( at the time of hiring ) that was big on using Strengths Finder for hiring and tended to collect people who were, as a side effect of being very confident, fantastic learners, and self-motivated, VERY VERY bad at...

    Multiple "AI Art" Updates and Controversies in Tabletop Gaming

    They can be. A working example that I wish I had saved the link for. In a similar discussion, at the early stages of the AI art debacle, I ran across a post from a cartoonist who I did not know who trained one of the engines with his own art and used it to generate scaffolding and for his own...

    What is the Best Licensed RPG?

    Mayfair DC, (Second Edition particularly) deserves mention. IT wasn't perfect, but did a solid job.

    FAR WEST now available

    I've only power-skimmed it, but I was happy with what we saw in playtest material.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    I think there's also a feeling of transitive success from the sales ( even the glut ) of OGL products where the ecosystem made the core products feel more successful than they were.

    I don't know the "other" MLP, but Tales of Equestria is a fantastic game.

    D&D General Extra Credits: The History of D&D Hasbro Refused to Learn

    (Not picking your post in particular) There is a pile of problems with this seemingly never-ending discussion ( and the similar one about White Wolf in the 90s ), which boils down to scope and context. Folks inside the companies report know their direct sales volume, the volume they push into...

    D&D General Extra Credits: The History of D&D Hasbro Refused to Learn

    There were no real, trustworthy metrics of anything in those days. The closest thing you could use as a value was "what was your first game?" to new folks in this period. In the days of the WoD First editions, they were the source of a LOT of new hobby members.

    Paizo Posts New Draft of ORC License

    I don't have anywhere near encyclopedic knowledge here, but I have to wonder if this is a change in behavior or if more products that have this happen in them are being produced now. Curious.

    Paizo Posts New Draft of ORC License

    I believe it is the same - I always interpreted that to mean powers system was inherently protected. Is that not a common interpretation?

    Paizo Posts New Draft of ORC License

    I believe that that's a case of enthusiasm and expectations of a final license sooner than has occurred rather than any kind of dishonesty.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Printers Can't Handle WotC's One D&D Print Runs!

    This isn't an exhaustive list, but these are some of the reasons: A new print run has not been quoted. Small Press doesn't move nearly the volume nearly as fast as WotC. This is probably the cause in most cases. Many publishers are afraid to update prices on reprints even if costs have gone up...

    It's not bad faith. It's a different valuation on trade. And choice.
