Totally disagree. I look at Kickstarter RPG campaigns obsessively, and with the exception of people posting their first-ever campaign, it's incredibly rare for someone to start seeking funding without a system. That's absolute amateur-hour stuff. They did post a picture, and it was just a...

So far it's not actually that late for Kickstarter—they had said PDFs would go out August 2022, and the physical book September 2022. But as I've griped about in the main thread about this campaign, those dates were before they decided to go with their own system, which they hadn't even started...

Some blocks are a badge of honor.

Absolutely agree. But I've given up all hope of the hobby moving past fantasy as the default. I think it's seen as the easiest genre to design for and to run (no mucking around with people Googling or space-Googling things, no autofire or similar rules or related weird arguments about how guns...

Well, you’re posting about how this is a problem, and I disagree. What approach to saying that would be acceptable to you? If anything, I think it’s a cool and good name. Can I say that?

I think you're overthinking this in a big way. If anything the more progressive stance is to not position orcs as blindly evil villains, and treat them more as a cool player option that people are excited to reframe and rehabilitate.

@Morrus I'm sure you're already tracking it, but Kobold's Deep Magic 2 looks like it could be a contender: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deepmagic/deep-magic-2-spellcasters-emporium-for-5th-edition-games/description

Roger that. Knocking it off all the way out of this thread. I’ll just leave these boots here in case anyone gets tired of licking WotC’s.

Once you play it the first time you really only need the reference guide.

Just outright cheerleading for boots on necks here. I mean, who cares? You think we're stupid enough to see WotC as some monolithic corporate person twirling their collective moustache? Of course it's business. That's the point. This kind of grim platitude excuses anything any corporation...

Earlier I posted about not getting why people white-knight for corporations doing dirty deeds. Here's what I really mean, as it relates to threads like this one: What do you think you're going to get out of telling everyone to calm down and suck it up? The only reason WotC rolled anything back...

Do you not use or know anything about how social networks work?! Facebook accounts have all sorts of controls for who can and can't see your page. If your page there is 100 percent visible to everyone you're doing it wrong. And on Twitter if you're nervous about that you can set a private...

Ah yes, criticism of a corporation with hurtful policies = communism. No one here's standing in a bread line to get their next module. I give money to lots of RPG creators for products. Please pay attention to what we're actually talking about.

Do you not know how LinkedIn works? The only contact info listed for him there is via LinkedIn—a very unlikely contact point for people to harass him, given how much harder it is to create and abuse fake or anonymous accounts—and Twitter. That's it. No cell numbers or email address or anything...

I'll never understand people riding to the rescue of rapacious corporations. Give them the benefit of the doubt! Don't talk about the people who agree (and are paid) to be their spokespeople! Be grateful for what they deign to give you! WotC isn't paying you to do this. Stop being their unpaid...

Congrats and good luck with this. Such a cool stand to take. My only question is probably premature, but is your current thinking that it'll be a familiar-to-5e-players d20 system, or something entirely different?

Pretty sure @payn is referring to the Blade Runner series in development. That said, there are always tons of shows in development. Until they start actually filming, I'd never say a given IP is particularly hot. There's a Blades In The Dark show in development, too, and it's not like that's an...

The fungal backstory for the LoU zombies doesn't really matter, game-wise, but there are some big mechanical differences, like being fast, using echolocation, etc. If Free League's game factors in TWD's slow-moving hordes—less like enemies than an environmental threat—tweaking that without...

Totally agree, but I think it'd take a miracle for a storygame to make the list at this point. Not entirely sure people even knew just how PbtA Kult: Divinity Lost was going to be back when it got voted in.

True. I think my glasses were a little rose-tinted when I read "Content already released under 1.0a will also remain unaffected." Like, that's nice, but it doesn't address future releases.
