I played the PS5 adaptation of the game. I enjoyed it a lot.

Goodman Games has consistently been a company that I feel good about supporting. I'm glad to see that they found a way to move forward on a project while still adhering to their core values. Post in thread 'Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State...

Based upon my interactions with the company throughout the entirety of the time that I have been one of their customers, I felt confident that they would approach a product (even a problematic one) in a way that would adhere to the values espoused by Goodman Games. I can relate to some of what...

Thank you for the link. I started watching it a few minutes ago.

Sure. Though, the average person who doesn't hang out on the boards might have a hard time hearing relevant warnings when bombarded by noise. As of this post, the project has gained about 300 more backers (since I first looked at it) and currently sits at 1070 backers (and climbing). I...

He is not without a point though. The goal posts of the rpg-community purity tests look more like the wacky inflatable guys outside of a car dealership. On some level, it does comes across as strange when there are people using Apple devices to tell others that they will never buy a Goodman...

There's a spectrum. I don't believe that the low end of that spectrum is higher than 0 for most. My response to both of these is mostly the same. That it has always existed is not something I feel is a good argument for why it's not a problem that societal choices are made to enable and...

I wouldn't be surprised if someone were willing to pay $8000 for a phone - even if it were made by a company with factory conditions so bad that the factory had to take steps to prevent workers from committing suicide.

I feel that it does matter. Being able to perform under pressure is, I believe, more important for some skills than others. Introducing hardship? No But allowing someone to learn from it and improve is a life lesson. It is also a a good life lesson to learn that the book answer isn't...

@Whizbang Dustyboots Do you have the 5e version of Ptolus? If yes, are there any noticeable changes from the original version to that? ================== @everyone Are there any products that focus on a new town (or maybe a frontier fort) that the players could build up over time...

I'm not sure that we're talking about the same thing there. I was referring to the degradation of combat skills. Though, I might somewhat also apply that to civilian life. While I agree with you that positive reinforcement is a powerful thing, I would also posit that US culture has become so...

Maybe I was alluding to real life choices being even worse than what South Park imagined for at least 3 cycles, and then people being surprised when those choices negatively impact lives.

12+ years of "pick the lesser of two evils" as a guiding philosophy has left a lot to be desired

I can agree with that. Though, I would also posit that "modern sensibilities" seeking to shy away from the tearing-down bits have been a contributing factor in a degradation of skillsets and less* proficiency at basic tasks. Both the carrot and the stick have their place. As for...

Mostly yeah, but it depends. There are things I learned via negative consequences in the military that I could literally still do blindfolded, even after having not done some of those tasks in years. So, there is a place for negative consequences. However, I do agree that positive...

I vaguely recall people being angry at Monte Cook in the early 2000s, but I honestly don't remember why. I own the 3rd Edition version of Ptolus. As said elsewhere, if a DCC version existed, I would buy it. I'm not aware of any of the people involved in producing the book doing anything that...

What playstyle would you say that Freeport best supports?

For a system that I play would be nice. This product being available for both DCC and 5E was of value to me. Having only a DCC version is preferable to having only a 5E version. Post in thread 'Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter...

Something that is made for both -and not Lankmar- would be good.

How difficult is it to add some crunch back in if desired? I'll look more into the game. I had dismissed it because, admittedly, I misunderstood what the game was meant to be.
