No thank you, I play games to have fun.

So basically the products they were hired to sell on the basis that they'd get part of the proceeds from the sale of said products as their payment, they now want to steal ownership those other companies goods, and sell them off keeping all the money including that belonging to the other...

I prefer the original version, the science fiction book "Beastmaster" by Andre Norton, which is what they used as the source for the movie. Hosteen Storm, a Navajo Commando who's retired from the Terran Military (because Earth is a radioactive wasteland) where he was the leader of a Beastmaster...

Honestly, I doubt China will sit back and pay for us, it'll go to the consumer as usual.

Nothing screws things up like stupid politicians...

Lol, it can't be a worse SJ alternative than the recent one WotC made, it didn't even have the Spelljammer mentioned in it, the namesake for the entire setting!!! Also yes, I do look forward to this book and won't mistake it for Spelljammer ;)

Today is the 7th, and so far, it's all been disappointing for me. Ranging from 10% off to $10 off and even 20% off of various things, and the only "free" item is a theme pack for Idle Champions, that free idle clicker "game". To say I've been underwhelmed is beyond understating it. When they...

Nope. In real life it gives you a better chance to take advantage of openings, so sometimes you can get an extra blow. However, you have the same strength and reflexes you have to split between two weapons. Being ambidextrous doesn't help with this, it just means you don't technically have an...

My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I thought I saw a post from Jim that he's working (worked?) with some people there, but he doesn't know why they're claiming he's a creator of D&D itself. (Back early in this mess) But TSR3/Wonderfilled seems to talk a lot of smack they can't back up...

True, but game mechanics are not copyrightable, even if the documents they are in can be. (The adding a skill die to standard die isn't a new thing, it's been used in several games, though some aren't d20 based.) Hasbro probably has a whole department of lawyers that's larger than Renegade...

I watch the Japanese versions subtitled. I don't get into the sub/dub argument, both have advantages, and neither is actually more accurate as it depends on who's translating. But the fansubbers don't usually have the time and resources to do dubs anyway. (No idea of fansubbers voice acting...

Well, when you take a kids show from Japan, and dumb it down and even further reduce anything "negative" for the American "OMG YOU CAN'T SHOW THIS TO KIDS" crowd, you end up with something where nobody really dies. Even when it's obvious they've died, they say various euphemisms as a weak way...

Nobody was right or wrong, it's a matter of opinion and choices. You've changed your opinion on which you prefer, that doesn't mean you were wrong or they were right.

[sigh] Waiting for the next chapter in this comedy of errors and WTFs.

I haven't heard a whisper of WotC or WotC employees saying anything against them or in any way encouraging anyone else to. Let's face it, it's the 2020s on the internet. If you so much as sneeze wrong somebody might freak out. Still haven't seen the original post, or a complete copy (heck...

As to the bahamat/paladine & tiamat/different tiamat/takhisis people are forgetting a couple of key facts. One, this is the 5th edition, and anything that came before may no longer be true. Two, even within the same edition they've screwed up continuity of things so many times I'm surprised...

The first person to get close enough to see the bottom of the pit would be attacked by the Gelatinous Cube as they aren't smart enough to wait in ambush either. Would the pieces of a dead gelatinous cube actually paralyze you? Maybe it has to be surface membrane that does that. Even so...

In SPELLBOOKS, 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence, it has "wrote memorization" However "wrote" is the wrong word The correct word is "rote" I'm betting it was an autocorrupt mistake. They don't do so good with words that aren't all that common these days. (I had to continually fight with one in a paper...

I've never worked in the game industry, but corporate is still a related thing. There have been some odd things I've seen happen, that just seem a little off until you get more info on them, then you figure out they're completely messed up. It happens, and it happens right in front of people...

Looks like he corrected the name, but didn't make any comments about it. (Until others pointed it out) That's simply fixing an error without drawing attention to it, pretty much the opposite of making fun of it. I'd consider that being helpful, especially if someone tried to do a right click...
