    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    There is that, and as a publisher, I can tell you we get rabid attacks from people, and it's weird that say they are "defending" some other game, when that other game's designer is on your friends list, you share videos, pictures of family gatherings, gentle words of encouragement, and even...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    This is horrible to hear, people are just no good. Makes one want to shake their fist at the sky and declare "I'm trying to not be a misanthrope here!"

    Worlds of Design: Battle Maneuvers

    Trouble starts when the defensive positions are hedgehogs: Hedgehog defence - Wikipedia going around or trying bounding overwatch Bounding overwatch - Wikipedia doesn't matter because there will be another to get fire from. Often turns into artillery duels to either break the position, or drive...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I wear trucker hats, and knit caps mostly when I wear a hat. I used to have a straw cowboy hat growing up as a kid in Texas, got in Eagle Pass. Lost along the way, dirty old thing, I miss it.

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    This happens to companies all the time, however, the flagship brand, D&D, which was the company, it is still around. Edit: Having been around in the 70's, I will also say that people then felt about Gary, and TSR in the same way people look at WotC, and Jeremy Crawford today.

    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    I really don't know, maybe started as early as '78, my sister and some of her friends got me into it, by 79 I know I was playing melee/wizard and Traveller too. Got Gamma World around that time also.

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    Gary did ok, started a business, it still exists; the ups and downs are pretty normal, look at GM or Apple. At the end of the day, he was just another guy.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Over twenty years ago my friend Galia left for Israel saying it wasn't safe here for Jews anymore, I didn't believe it then, though now I know she is right, what is left here, is not defendable. I was wrong, I should have believed her. How did we get to this place?

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    I feel the same, though the old houserule has been since Holmes was just to give 1st level characters max hit points for their class. Let them ease into the game as well, level up before the dungeon delve.
