If that is where you live vs. where you are from, we live just a couple of towns apart.

I view the NAACP use of the word as a sign that their success as the people it was founded to help chose their own names. Personally, I much prefer black or Black as it is a color like white (and neither is accurate for the actual skin color). I honestly don’t know about others and how they want...

The panelist (who is black) appeared to be offended on her own sake, not on Delaney’s sake. The SFWA decided that the word violated their policies and took action. I believe that there is so previous group (romance writers) that went with something else in similar circumstances and, in Twitter...

The was not Delaney that had the issue, it was another panelist who had the problem and went to Twitter about it after the panel.

I think White Star is an amazing example of how to do a pretty rules light SF system. Space combat, for example, just treats the ships as monsters and you run the combat using the same rules as you generally do. Rules light does not mean that there is not a lot of content in the rulebook, just...

I find another thing about SF games is that many recent ones have been tied to movies/tv show IP. Meanwhile, interesting releases like this struggle to get as noticed: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owenkcstephens/reign-of-discordia-2nd-edition

I back way too many. Close to 400 now. I am getting pickier and pickier. For books, it needs to be written and ready to go to next stage (small publishers that mean editing and art and then printing. Big ones I really want final polish and print). I have had zero creators fail to deliver...

Alta Fox has stopped supporting Finkel for the board. They pared down their request to three people, and Finkel is not one of them. By far, he was the least qualified for a Board seat in their proposed slate.

I backed the board game in Kickstarter and it was a pile of burning garbage for delivery plus the rules were so so. I am not surprised this is bad. The company is terrible. Just look at their past kickstarters and the comment sections.

Accounting. Worked for a Big 8 (now big 4 firm) when I graduated. Eventually became a CFO of several public companies, so went about as far as normally hoped for with an accounting degree. I enjoyed college. Went to both English universities in Montreal.

Yes, It has been mentioned as unoffical and not blessed. Could be shut off as an abuse of the API. Could be left alone. Could be blessed.

I think that any VTT that relies on integration with D&D Beyond for free may become increasingly at risk. Fandom may have been willing to look the other way as it meant more sales for them, but WoTC does not have a similar track record.

“Similarly, with more than 80% of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS fans having already played the game virtually in 2021, aided by online digital platforms such as D&D Beyond, this acquisition accelerates the game’s ability to penetrate new markets, gather valuable consumer insights and provide players with...

You cannot sell anything not OGL-based. So none of the WoTC material. That is what is happening now for Pathfinder 2 - now that official material is available the “free” material is going away. Foundry does not have a license from WoTC, so they cannot sell official materials. Do not confuse...

I occasionally convert items for Fantasy Grounds and sell them on their store. Usually because I am going to use the material in my own game and a little extra effort is all it takes. I did Tome of Horrors which is a large 5e monster book. The number of hours spent to the actual pay received is...

This is Fantasy Grounds, but click and add walls. And doors. And windows. Etc. Takes hours and hours for any decent sized adventure with a reasonable amount of maps. If a module with only one letter sized map then 30 minutes to an hour depending on all the features. You also need player maps...

I am waiting for the scraping of D&D Beyond to end as well.

You keep saying we fought and making sweeping statements. Who is “we”? What is not a not a “despotic tyranny”? Most of the good aligned political entities in the default D&D settings are well connected to the people and the government serves the people pretty well. Handwaving and complaining...

I really don’t understand the whole discussion on “lampshading” in context of this thread. Tekumel has built in many institutions and situations that are “bad” (slavery, explicit destruction done to local races by humans when they arrived). It also is pretty diverse in terms of human society...
