    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Well, cut to 30%. That is just a 10% increase from the previously existing tariff.

    It also eats memory. Zoom is bad for the load it generates.

    Cook is a fairly popular creator since his 2e Planescape days. He was one of the creators of 3e as well as Cypher system. It’s ok if you’re not a fan. I like his work.

    I have Ptolus. I own almost all of Monte Cook’s stuff. I have never cracked my copy.

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

    I never said they were evil but it is a hidden price hike versus previous pre orders. Folks should know that they tacked on an additional $6.99.

    It depends on if GG got that promise in contractual writing. If they make no profit and can only use the funds to right a wrong, then that is ….something. Barring a legal obligation, then that promise has zero force to it.

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

    I noticed they did a hidden price increase with shipping costs. It used to be free shipping.

    This. The gamers I knew from the 70s, 80s, 90s were the most accepting and diverse crowd of folks I knew, in part, because of the shared outcast state.

    ENWorld is the only place I discuss RPGs. I cannot speak to the Social Media crowd. I consider it all to be a toxic mess of trolls and narcissist's. There is an undercurrent here of OSR hate or old person (ageist?) stuff that was not there when I was a regular from 1999-2012ish. I find it...

    I could agree if not for the hypocrisy of their earlier stance.

    Do we? How do a few hundred people cover an entire group? I cannot judge the whole group based on internet trolls. The vast majority of backers will have no clue about junior. Many will get an email asking them to back and will decide on past experience with GG.

    I play 5e. I never got into OSR. I am constantly amazed at the underlying level of dislike or outright hate that group gets from folks.

    Frog God has updated Bard's Gate to 5e. It is on Drivethrurpg but I will stay with my HC original. I loved that book.

    Bard's Gate and Freeport are also very good city settings.

    I do not think anyone in the other thread expressed a desire to ostracize folks who purchased the product. I think most indicated voting with their wallet, which I support. I agree with you and most folks who purchase will not be aware of any controversy.

    We routinely have bandwidth issues with using discord. This is newer since they are pushing more ads and seem to be making the product worse in order to sell their nitro boosts etc. Discord was much better before they sold out.

    I agree that people with different perspectives should communicate and build bridges. I cannot disagree with that statement; however, I also believe that there are certain universal concepts that most can agree are wrong. I am fine with people expressing those wrong, evil concepts. I prefer...

    I had been unaware of the JG controversy until the other thread. I had collected all of the OAR products but I am not sure I will continue. I have limited remaining shelf space anyway. I am lucky to have the old Necromancer Games d20 versions that were released when the original creator was...
