Us Hero System nerds have been this smug for decades...

I seem to remember a lot of it was a visceral dislike of the Tiefling and Dragonborn, both of which became core races in 4E; in 3.0/3.5, there were race writeups for them, but the core books only had the Tolkien standards. Listen, RuneQuest is an Old School game as far as I'm concerned (it came...

Yeah, I agree with @jdrakeh -- Psi World (1984) was absolutely the Scanners (1981) RPG, but unofficial because no Marketing guy in the 80s was thinking of tabletop RPGs as a revenue stream, and FGU didn't want to be sued. That said, while I loved the original the one time I tried to watch the...

I used to see the argument a lot in the OSR sphere (... on Google+, so this was a while ago) about how appropriate it was to include non-Original Rules races in D&D. A lot of people feel, to play the game "correctly" (whatever that means) you need to use the originals only. What's weird is...

Andy Slack produced a huge amount of solid Traveller material in his White Dwarf articles. You can find them, edited and with introductions, on the Halfway Station blog. I like his stuff; it fits my vision of the Traveller future of 5620 CE. Also the Bonnacon was an actual heraldic beast from...

My partner comes from South Carolina. They tell me that the main difference between South and North Carolina is that the North uses a vinegar base for their barbecue sauce, while the South uses a mustard base. My partner prefers the vinegar. I've tried and liked them both.

"I'm just asking questions" is my favorite statement to make when I have no actual questions.

Speaking of which, if we're going to add pineapple to pizza, why not asphalt? Or tree bark? Where does it end? Interstellar hydrogen? Unobtainium?

I was thinking of a different p-organ. The one they think with.

Yeah. The rest of you really need to work on that, it's very disappointing for me.

It gives a real feeling of waltersobchakeit!

I am 56 years old. I do not have an exercise regimen. But for decades I've worked in IT, and the most recent jobs (before my current one) I had to do a lot of walking -- the place I am currently working, the data center is 500 steps from the office, so if I had to connect a cable, at the very...

Itch.io is a platform for distributing creative content. It has both books (like RPG supplements, but also fiction) and games (video games, puzzle games, etc.)

You can't use that word! That's our word!

What are you doing?! I came in here for an argument!

Reminds me of the time Plato was talking in his academy (he was one of those academics who liked to hear himself talk) and was doing definitions, and said a man was an "an animal, biped and featherless" and Diogenes practically tripped over his own feet running to get a chicken, pluck all the...

Okay, I picked them all up. Any chance of a witch-focused issue in the future?

Do you know why Americans call it "fast food"? Because it speeds them on the way to the grave.

Well, I live in NJ, and I've never heard of The Blend, the Burger Barr, or Sewell before. Looking on Google, I live in Central Jersey, and Sewell is in extreme South Bumfoozle. So, I'll have to get back to you on that.

Sonic has excellent tater tots. In fact, they're the only fast food joint around here that does, which is generally the only reason we go -- my partner is a potato-product connoisseur.
