    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    When you write a "sexcrawl" dungeon and invite ten middle-aged grognard men to play it with you, I can only imagine how starved for real sex you have to be to create something that depressing. That is one poor, sad, never-lonely fleshlight in the creator's room

    TSR Now it’s WotC’s Turn: WotC Moves Against TSR3

    Ernie Gygax thinks the whole thing descends by bloodline because if he doesn't grasp at that one sad little straw, his whole life has been one failurebucket after another. With the idea that his father can sell the company AND the son can win it back, he wins the Hero's Journey, right? The...

    TSR TSR3.5 Voluntarily Dismisses Lawsuit

    The funny part is that WotC can't really lose against Lanasa no matter what. They can just throw lawyers after lawyers at the problem, and tie the whole thing up in court until Lanasa goes completely broke from legal fees. They can just strand him on an island and let him slowly starve. Disney...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    If Justin LaNasa HAD a product, he would be showing charts and tables and graphs and he'd have specific combat rules to brag endlessly about. The fact that he is showing nothing but a collection of random parts that have no internal consistency with one another (to me) is proof that he's just...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Oh I have On Writing Well by William Zinsser. It's absolutely brilliant. The book is from 1990, but I still have it on one of my shelves.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    If his past behavior is any indicator, it's refuting everything anyone says about IP law with "You're wrong!" or "You're so stupid!" and then refusing to elaborate his own point or explain it in any way. It's the equivalent of "Nuh-uh!" for adults.

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    He does seem blissfully unaware of his own ridiculousness, on almost every level. Like the 14 year old who proudly wears the WINGER t-shirt (unironically) during the live Winger concert in his hometown. No idea how really bad he looks in the eyes of others.

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    So Venger Satanis being the "high priest" of Cthulu is essentially meaningless? He won't be spared being destroyed? He won't be rounding people up like he thinks, and being the lord of his own petty little fiefdom/domain? By his physical proximity to Cthulu at the moment of ascension, he's...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Justin Lanasa wanted nothing to do with GaryCon initially. He wanted to have his own con, on his own weekend, and siphon off some of the convention money he was seeing everyone making but himself. Justin's biggest mistake was in not realizing how much work a convention requires. It's months of...

    I approve of a real evil that finally uses a capital "E" justifiably.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    After everything Justin Lanasa has pulled if Justin shows up at GaryCon my guess is that they'll have him arrested for trespassing and they'll ask the police officers to take him down to the station house. What will most likely happen is that Justin will probably linger in the parking lot and...

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    My understanding is always that Cthulu sleeps under the waves, where the ocean waters nullify his power and keep him docile and sedate. Only when R'Lyeh rises from the bottom of the ocean should anyone be in any real trouble. As much as Venger Satanis considers himself a follower/demigod of...

    Understood. I amended my commentary to make it less pointy.

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    It's so funny to me because anyone who knows Darrick Dishaw understands that he's completely ridiculous when it comes to planning an insurrection and doesn't have the intention for any sort of revolution, but announcing it on Twitter is a great way to LOOK menacing without actually being...

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    And then you have nonsense like THIS.... Venger thinks that they can start a Dungeons and Dragons Insurrection at Wizards of the Coast. March up there into the offices as an angry mob, and do by brute force what all six of them are incapable of doing with emails and letter-writing. Force...

    I know it would be a logistical nightmare to even try.

    D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

    It's very clear at this point that they have nothing. They've lost this particular war. My issue is that I just wish Luke Gygax would ban people that are planning on visiting both GaryCon and TSRCon. If they're going to run around unmasked at the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum and attend a FAKE...

    Peaks and Valleys vs Consistent TV Shows

    Credit to whomever posted TOO MANY COOKS. That's a real gem from a couple of years ago. Proof that Adult Swim didn't completely suck post 2010. They could still do real comedy and subversive programming if you were willing to wait until after midnight. The show with the highest "peak"...
