TBH, I didn't find it funny at all, largely based on your earlier comments (see above). You've got a theme going about assumptions about other players that isn't all that funny.

I don't think this is entirely helpful. And it's not really true. From day 1, streamlining and removing rules to appeal to newer gamers has been a thing, as evidenced by the basic versions of the game. Also, can you please make your point without making denigrating comments about newer players...

For context, I currently play in a Shadowdark game, 1e game, and 5e game. One thing I noticed in my 1e game is the disparity in PC levels for members of the party. We have two 1st level, a 2nd level, and two 3rd level PCs. For those not familiar with 1e, that is common, I've been playing 1e...

Yes, as one-offs. I even wrote a few adventures several years ago where you are the "monsters", getting your revenge on the murder hobos taking over your lands. One of the illustrations I had done for it by the talented Brian "Glad" Thomas:

Today is Launch Day, and we funded in less than a minute! Some of the great rewards, like the boxed sets, are in limited quantity, so don't wait too long! Bugbears & Borderlands Second Edition! Bugbears and Borderlands was initially released a few years ago as a streamlined rules-lite version...

Sure, if you want to wait 50 years for a walnut, oak, or maple tree to grow large enough to make one of those tables.

$2000 of that is probably materials. Wood is super expensive.

I don't know if they are real, but as a kid we lived in a supposed haunted house. Weird things all the time. One day, my brother and his friends were over and we were watching MTV on the TV. Then the TV started changing channels on it's own. This was the early 80s. Our TV had a physical dial...

Same, only I only remember to tell someone I'm reading a newspaper. In hindsight, I really screwed up by being all over the place. I took 2 years of Spanish in jr high, then Japanese in High school because it was super cool and an available class. Then I joined the army and lived in Korea for...

Same. I like level drain and vulnerability and all that because it keeps players on their toes and thinking. Not every monster needs to be fought, which is a huge difference from modern versions. And again, I give 1e a pass because it was the first attempt. Of course things are wonky, rules...

Jeff Conaway was in that. Burned too many bridges on Taxi with his drug abuse and ended up ruining what could have been a good career. Going from Taxi to Wizard and Warriors?

I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. I dread that day myself.

And a whole bunch of stuff on folklore and mythology. And Shakespeare.

I would like to see actual examples of what's happening, but because NCOSE and Collective Shout are involved, it would be unsurprising to see them banned just because they have LGBT representation in the product.

Ah, it looks like Collective Shout has partnered with the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE). To avoid politics, I'll let you google them and form your own opinions on the "righteousness" of their agenda. I'm getting flashbacks of the Satanic Panic from the 80s.

I rarely go to theaters any longer, but it looks interesting. I mean, you know what you're getting here.

I'm not disputing, but that means it sold millions of copies. I'd love to see what the numbers are. Do you have a reference perhaps?
