    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I mean, if we're being honest, the reasons behind this has been a deliberate political attempt to transform education specifically that students don't learn critical thinking or to otherwise question popular narratives. To be fair, the proposal that was stated was relating to...

    Rabid transphobia that massively bankrolled the lawsuit that just drastically rolled back legal rights for trans folks in the UK. Bankroll supported through the promotion and purchase of Wizarding World products and experiences. If your goal was to state an analogy that showcased how minimal...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    So, two things can be (and almost certainly are) true at the same time: 1) Making space for bigots to reform themselves by trying to reach out to them is more effective at making them no longer bigots then complete ostracization is. And... 2) Any place that makes that kind of space for bigots to...

    I mean, even in that case, they would be essentially paying off their debts, which isn't direct profit but also isn't not profit

    So the biggest problem I have with "holding bigots in the industry accountable is just like the Satanic Panic!" is that actually it's the bigots who would be aligned with the people behind the Satanic Panic, since both are essentially railing against those on the margins of society (and...

    D&D 5E (2024) You Can Now Pre-order Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Khoravar are what half-elves in the setting largely call themselves. That said, this at least looks exciting!

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I mean, it's a "have your cake and eat it too" type of situation. Goodman I think is still trying to pitch this to his core audience (y'know, us "woke moralists") and is hoping that said audience will forgive/understand working with JG because he's doing this old beloved classic the "right" way...

    D&D 5E (2024) You Can Now Pre-order Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Does MotM follow the 2024 rules? I skipped out on it because I have all of the relevant earlier books.

    This is what I'm talking about: Which is a promising sign that such that assertions are actually unfair. That said, sample size is still a thing. There is a difference between a tanked KS, a minor or moderate success, or an overwhelming success. If this becomes another million dollar KS story...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm exactly two months from 40 myself, which is making me feel ancient (working on a college campus probably isn't helping), but I also know that makes me basically a baby in this community :p

    D&D 5E (2024) You Can Now Pre-order Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    I got excited about there being five species for a moment (what's number five? goblin? gnoll?) but then I remembered there was going to be a Khoravar species which is also cool, but I'd wish they'd be more adventurous with the "monstrous" species in Eberron. It's the perfect setting for it but...

    I mean... we've got here a pretty solid litmus test for whether that reputation is fair or not.

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    The puzzle progression in Blue Prince is so wild... Blue Prince: Here's a basic logic puzzle to solve. Me: Oh neat, I love these BP: We also have basic arithmetic puzzles but we use color instead of function symbols. Me: Cool... hope you've got a good colorblind accessibility setting for...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    So I was watching a YouTube video that was something like "The scene that changed modern horror" or some clickbaity title, basically they were showing that scene from the first Final Destination: Anyway, I was like thirty seconds into this video, they had just played the scene, and then I...
