Modiphius' Discworld RPG. Cancelled because it's not 5E.

Do you remember the name of the ketchup? Was it maybe curry ketchup? That stuff is great.

Medium rare with a small pat of butter on top. Never needed anything else.

Awesome. Great game. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Pretty sure. Yeah. The game is an inanimate object, most likely in the form of a book or boxed set. It has no intentionality. It has no consciousness. It's neither haunted nor magical. It's lifeless. Only the people who play it can behave in any particular way. They might be attracted to that...

When two B-plots love each other very much…

Yeah, fair point. It’s not the pizza’s fault its fans are so badly behaved.

Thanks for the update. Wild. Good for them and good luck.

“It’s our hobby now. Get out.”

Yeah, that’s effectively the argument. It’s either enjoy pizza or get out of the hobby.

Yeah, that’s part of it, too. I’ve beat my head against that wall for the better part of the last decade. Doesn’t matter what I make, how I make it, or how tailored to the person it is. If it’s not pizza it might as well not exist. At best it’s “that was a nice distraction from pizza. When can...

Exactly the point. Pizza isn’t the only option for food. “Pizza” effectively is the only viable option in RPGs. With 95+% market share it’s like pulling teeth to get people to try anything but “pizza.” And on the off chance you get enough people to try something else once, they won’t shut up...

The trouble with that as an analogy for RPGs is you’d first need to remove all non-pizza food options. Then wonder why people who hate the only option are complaining about it. Because it’s either effectively or literally the only option.

My comedy four would be Monty Python, Mel Brooks, George Carlin, and Rowan Atkinson. A list of equally good alternates would be Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Whoopi Goldberg, on and on and on.

Most of us could probably easily do four each for sci-fi, fantasy, comics, RPGs, video games, anime, space, science, etc. So I went with the easiest picks from RPGs, sci-fi, fantasy, and comics.

Dave Arneson. Philip K. Dick. Robert E. Howard. Jack Kirby.

This is basically my take as well. Literal theater kids, goths, fans of vampires, Anne Rice readers, etc. Early on there was a clear split between those who were gamers before and those who started gaming with VtM. The gamers played it as superheroes with fangs and those new to the hobby...

Wow. There’s a whole lot of badwrongfun in that article.

It 100% pulled in non-gamers.

In my area, Vampire: The Masquerade was every bit the seismic shift White Wolf and their documentary want you to believe. The only thing comparable is D&D 5E. Not to that scale of course, but certainly to that extent. I was in high school. Playing RPGs with friends. They’d all moved beyond D&D...
