    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    LOL touche...and I enjoy hot sauce. I write a food blog and recipes for a client and given the content I now also receive hate mail. Dietary culture wars...so fun to read nasty messages because it's for vegetarians, the horror. I also got my first RPG gig after 20+ years of marketing, design...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    As much as I enjoy nostalgia this project is already too toxic and drama ridden for me to much care anymore. Who's telling the truth who isn't etc...where there is smoke there is fire. I do hope in the end it does come to a ethical and decent conclusion and this is able to be worked through in...

    Dungeon Crawl Classics Erol Otus cover.

    Erol Otus and Jeff Dee with a large side of DSL and DS III got me started with D&D. Sucked me right in as a kid.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Kind of shocked at the about face. Seems like a terrible idea for the brand. Maybe in a couple of months we'll hear they teamed up with Jason LaNasa. I'm being over the top, I know, I think BUT...what a change of what's acceptable for the GG brand. I enjoy all their products but feel it's time...

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    That would probably work. They've added a timeline feature recently so it can read dates and place them in order.

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    Yeah, it's not perfect but it helps me run my open ended sandboxes quite nicely. I've also made my own GPTs for random hex generation based on criteria I want and only dealing with my homebrew lore etc. Between the two it works nicely with the sandbox mentality and helping me improv quickly as...

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    Not much. It's not flawless, of course. I find at times I have to ask it to redo an answer due to format of answers but not much on the side of making mistakes or hallucinating. So for example I may ask it to create a list of al goblins for a wandering monster list, it might screw the...

    Google NotebookLM for RPGs - Making my own Virtual Campaign and DM assistant

    You can upload session recordings as sources. So if you recorded every session and asked it to create a podcast to review session 5 it could work.

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    Agreed, lol also considering I am trying to do the same for my businesses I'm feeling somewhat like a "slacker".

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    The part in the FAQs about "anticipating tariffs" is something that irks me after seeing it numerous times in some Kickstarter comment complaints. No one anticipated this at this level. I mean geez. Thanks for the post.

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    No worries, I had thought that but wanted to make sure. I thought maybe he was going through a list alphabetically of who was OK to still support...which he is free to do of course. :) I enjoy both companies' products bunches. (Mon)te Cook(Goose) Games

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    Was it Monte Cook Games? Or did he do Mongoose as well? If I recall it was very vague but it was this post that started it all. https://www.montecookgames.com/pushing-back-on-tariffs/

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    He has another post explaining his stance and it's also terrible and his stance is not political (it totally is). RPGElite YT is doing the same act. The dishonesty and lengths gone to not appear "political" are getting old...thanks for the link. I learned quite a bit from the commenters, they...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    Sure, education varies as do those teaching. But living in the real world and something as simple as this is something most adults would encounter and or is easy to research if it truly is that IMPORTANT to them. My 6th grade teacher was a complete ideological nutter, I found it strange but...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    On April 11 2025 Trump announced baseline 10 %–125 % duties on virtually all imports, then suspended tariffs on smartphones, laptops, TVs, and some semiconductors after tech‑sector backlash. The White House later clarified those electronics were merely being shifted to a “different tariff...
