I got those images from Sly Flourish (Mike Shea) - I'm not sure where he got them from.

It's in my twitter. See if this link works: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWZrG5lVAAASkpA?format=jpg&name=large

Also, WOTC have now updated their infographic. The "40-45" should read "40+" and the ">1%" should read "<1%"

Thanks for this, Russ, it's very insightful. All of these statistics certainly torpedo the idea (if anyone still held it) that the RPG hobby is just full of grumbly old grognards.

It certainly felt more solid than some of the articles of that nature that I've seen. However, I've no expertise in that field, so I believe you if you tell me it is lacking.

I don't think I've heard the story of where this debate started either.

Oh, I didn't pick the artist. I don't know much about Foglio, but he always did comedic sort of work, didn't he?

Those who are interested in the OGL may enjoy the following. It's an interview between Peter Adkison and Ryan Dancey that was posted up on the Gen Con channel just a few weeks ago: Toward the end of the interview, they spend some time discussing the why and how of the original OGL license...

I think Myrlund was by Don Kaye, who was also into Westerns

Rob Kuntz is one of the originals and also writes the occasional article here.

I was very sad to hear of his passing.

I'm old enough to remember people making the exact same argument about the SRD that WOTC released back in 2000. People complained that it was a "license to breath" and that WOTC couldn't stop people from using the protected terms. As we all know, the D&D SRD became a successful and important...

So long as it's not substantially similar to the CoC sanity rules, then you can create your own sanity/madness/shock/stress rules.

On the other hand, there is an opportunity here for someone to create a "Sorcery for BRP" supplement, kinda like Kobold Press did with "Deep Magic" for 5e. I suspect even a short supplement on the Under $5 ribbon would get some attention if released soon.
