    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    May not apply to you…but read the formula broadly and I suspect you will see what I am talking about.

    D&D General Satanic Panic at the Disco- Did Beelzebubba Cause D&D's First Crash, Y'all?

    I lived it as a kid and had to be a closet player for a while. It caused me genuine anxiety and negative vibes from a babysitter. I ultimately came clean…and my concerned parent saw I was a kind sensitive kid that did not spontaneously combust if taken to church and protected and nurtured...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    As a simple test of logic…(don’t got all philosophy 101 on me…please, for Pelor’s sake)… A lot of people seem to have fun playing D&D. And many of them play things differently. By what standard are they wrong? For me this is a space to talk about how you do it—-what your group likes… How...

    Aging and Gaming

    It is brutal. I have the space…and a game table. I have lots of minis. I have most of the books. I have a room full of boardgames… But I am so tired after work. The dogs need to be fed. Gotta take the kids to sports…home maintenance…family stuff- aged parents. Damn time to work again...

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    Not sure how people miss it… It’s not selling out unless you are making something that is subpar, internationally for the sake of profit. Foibles and all, if you can’t support a shoe salesman moving up due to entrepreneurship you are just too legit to quit. And that is what I most...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I don’t “know you” but that bothers me man. I am sorry to hear it. I HATE careless cruelty almost as much as pre planned nonsense. Someone recently threw their door open and scraped brown paint in my white care. For 9 years I have kept the sides clean. Then spend 2500 to discussed the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was feeling done with the internet in general and rpg related stuff online. Probably at the tail end of a depressive episode. But I played D&D with pals and it kept going. Called home “I gotta finish this battle.” But it ended up being a series of battles…and a chase…and a character got...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Is this an either or scenario with sandboxes? When it’s my turn to DM I run my homebrew world. I know ahead of time how different areas are set up—how likely the militia may come to help or hinder etc. I have factions and maps etc But I do not know everything that’s going to happen...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    First of all…had no idea. How interesting. Secondly, aren’t things like cy min already not a big Mexican thing? Or am I imagining such an article?!

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    A weird thing buck rogers… I bought buck rogers battle gor The 25th century in the cheap at KMart… It basically got my group into plastic dudes on a map and was the gateway to axis and allies and shogun. My friend just had the buck rogers map blown up and is playing anew… I associated with...

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

    Well if they don’t do that people are not going to see their money back, right? Thanks for the breakdown

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

    So trying to follow along… Is the nazi dude getting paid if I buy this or not? I’ve got most of the OAR series so curious.

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

    I ageee but also still think the gaming community is harder on their producers. Maybe a better example is music. I have no doubt many who would not buy a gaming product for good reasons would in the old days buy a CD or now iTunes or whatever file from creepy artist. Just an observation...

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

    For me personally… I get both approaches. I don’t tend to want to buy from people that are blatantly antisemitic. Or whatever. I think it makes sense for the community of gamers to point out a bad actor. Sometimes they do it for reasons I don’t agree rise to the bar. Sometimes it seems...

    D&D 5E (2024) If Your Builds Not Online By Level 6 Dont Bother?

    I won’t play a build that does not make sense so to speak. As such, I want it online early. Played a dwarven warlock. His patron drove him half mad talkin to him through his axe. By level 3, he was barbarian 1, warlock 2. Now up in the teens, the rp dynamic is still available. I...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I understand the premise of the OP. I get it. But I also get why we often are conservative. Imagine someone trying to change baseball not incrementally but in spurts. Not just infield fly rules or DH for the national league; but big things. Caught dropped balls always mean they are...

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    Later in life I got an MBA. It amazes Me that any small business survives long. It is incredibly easy to tank an enterprise. As a younger guy I did not grasp a cash flow problem. How can you be wealthy and not have cash? I don’t think there are many saints in most scenarios but really get...

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    All interesting stuff. Dare I fork out 13 bucks for a paperback book? A person can be heroic and villainous both in the same lifetime. There might be limits (I am not suddenly clubbing baby seals nor offering my family home to the homeless…) and a lot of what gets discussed loses this fact...
