I think it's very valuable to keep stuff like this around. This story happened in 1997 and was written in 2000. A lot of people seem to get into gaming in their early teens, so this basically happened about two generations ago in Gamer History Reckoning.

Nearly all of my gaming has been online since moving 10-ish years ago. I really try to go with theatre of the mind where I can. I also avoid new games if it looks like they'd be too difficult to run online. The more fiddly bits a game has, the more of a pain it is to run online, even if a VTT...

I don't think anybody would be surprised if there was some voodoo accounting involved in this. I know Hollywood money is powerful, but I'm still surprised they continue to get away with playing with numbers the way they do.

People were pontificating about how game rules can't be copyrighted before the ink was dry on the original OGL. The whole idea was that if we jumped through a few very low hoops, WotC promised not to sue us. Even if we assume his position is 100% correct, I can't see how it would be...

4 out of 5 rating for Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica What's in there is very good. I'm just disappointed that it's basically one section of the main city. It's hard to get excited about a world-spanning city, if you're not showing it to me.

That's what I thought. I was confused by the line: "RPGNow always presented the more "indie" face of the industry, with DTRPG highlighting the larger releases."

I never realized RPGNow was the "indie" focused site. Now I wonder what I've been missing.

I quit playing MtG well before Ravnica, so this is basically new to me. Overall, I like the book, but I was also expecting more info on the world at large. I'm assuming I'll be able to piece that together from internet sources, so it's not the end of the world.

If you like Savage Worlds, Freedom Squadron should be out soon-ish. It's very GI Joe inspired. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/supermouse/freedom-squadron-a-savage-worlds-setting/description

My experience with Noble Knight was pretty similar to Doc_Klueless'. The only real difference is that I took store credit, where it sounds like he opted for cash. I traded a bunch of stuff that had nice memories, but was otherwise just gathering dust, and ended up with some nice books that got...

I guess I'll be dissenting opinion then. I'm excited. I wanted to see something new when they announced the upcoming settings. I quit playing Magic quite a while before Ravnica came out, so its all new to me.

If they license the D&D name to some game like League of Legends and make a pile of money from it being successful, why should I be mad? There's already D&D (actual) board games and video games. What's the problem with one or two more? If it means the accountants think D&D makes enough money...

Well, according to Hasbro's 2018Q2 financial report, MtG is growing. Just searching for the word "magic" takes me to three references to revenue for MtG growing (up 14% in one reference)...

I had to go read up on this, since I quit MtG way before the Ravnica got there. It looks okay, but the main hope that I have is that this will have lots of tools for urban adventuring. I don't think I've run an official setting since Dark Sun was new, but city info would be great. I'm still...

Didn't they say there were two settings they hadn't announced yet for this year?

I haven't looked at anything by Misha Bushyager, but I liked Eloy Lasanta's AMP series. Everything I've gotten from Jerry Grayson has been excellent.

To be more serious, though, I guess I'd like to know how compatible "Starfinder Compatible" is. If I wanted the tunnels of Osiris-VII to be overrun by little, green kobolds is that going to be drag-and-drop or will it take a little elbow grease?

You gave us a lot of good info on what's coming. I'm not sure what else I would ask until we see the pricing and so on. But you can't just dangle "Dr. Wesley Snipes" out there and not get some attention. :) It's like that one, slightly different square on the floor that you know is going to...

All that and nobody stops to ask in what field of study Wesley Snipes holds a doctorate?

I almost feel silly asking, but will the various products be available in pdf? It's surprising, but I still find the occasional project that doesn't offer them.
