    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    There's an old-ish Superman comic, I think it's one of the early ones after John Byrne's post-Crisis reboot (80s?). It's the era where Lex was turned into a business tycoon rather than a lone mad scientist. Anyway, in this comic Lex realizes there has to be some connection between Clark Kent and...

    Jess Lanzillo Joins White Wolf as Creative Director

    Yeah, lately I've been preferring more focused settings. This doesn't necessarily mean geographically small, but that it's primarily about One Thing. For example, earlier this year I went in on the Han Cluster crowdfunder for Savage Worlds. In geographical terms it's huge, covering Earth as well...

    Trailer Red Sonja trailer

    To me, that's a fairly moderate level of cheese. Compare to Xena or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or something like that.

    Doctor Which

    One of the issues with Capaldi is that it felt like TPTB wanted to take the character in a new direction, but couldn't settle on which direction. When Capaldi was good, he was effin' fantastic, and he had the best River Song episode in the whole series. But there were some duds in there. I...

    Jess Lanzillo Joins White Wolf as Creative Director

    You're probably thinking of the controversy surrounding the Camarilla sourcebook for Vampire 5 (not Chronicles of Darkness). Basically, the book had the ongoing persecution of LGBTQ+ folks in Chechnya be a plot by the vampires actually running the place, as a distraction from their other evil...

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    That is part of why I think that from a business POV there are too many RPGs. If there were fewer of them, each would likely have a larger audience and thus make more money (and probably be able to make more supporting material as well).

    Jess Lanzillo Joins White Wolf as Creative Director

    Onyx Path is not a "fairly separate" entity, they are an entirely separate entity who licenses some things from White Wolf (primarily Exalted; I don't know if the Chronicles of Darkness license has been formally abandoned or just in practice).

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    Just wondering, is this a one-and-done expense that would be part of establishing an ongoing business relationship, or would you need to file a new one for each shipment you send to the distributor? And is there a particular reason why it wouldn't be covered by the consignment agreement the...

    Draw Steel News

    This is an issue of fact – not really something to "agree" or "disagree" on. There was an update posted on May 31. Before that, there were a couple of updates posted around Christmas, with the second Backer Packet and the associated survey. They also said from the start that most of the...

    What Is Your Go-To Pick-Up TTRPG?

    IMO, SWADE with pregens is good for a one-shot, particularly if the pregens (like the archetype cards they have for various settings – see below for examples) also have a short description of edges and hindrances. SWADE with character generation is not.

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    Virtuous cycle if it's positive, or snowballing can be either positive or negative (it's often used somewhat negatively about games where initial success leads to more resources which leads to more success, which can be bad in long-term games because at some point it becomes obvious what will...

    I'm pretty sure Pugmire is Onyx Path's own, not one they're licensing from Paradox/White Wolf.

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    I thought that once prioritized creditors had been paid off, anything left got split proportionally among the remaining creditors? So if they owe me $20k, and they owe you $10k, and there's $6k left I'll be getting $4k and you $2k.

    Dungeons & Dragons Shifts to Franchise Model, Dan Ayoub Named as Head

    That's probably unlikely. The lead time on making miniatures is significantly longer than that on making adventures. So if you want minis and an adventure released more-or-less simultaneously, there are basically two ways of making that happen: Once the adventure is done, have miniatures made...

    What Is Your Go-To Pick-Up TTRPG?

    I'd give SWADE and The Eye of Kilquato a whirl.
