Guys, please stop piling on the guy. I'm not used to smiling this much. I don't know what to do. Am I going to be okay?

Yeah, it's the same argument you can make about any discretionary good. Though, I think the overall point that it doesn't account for how much more squeezed the average consumer is now than in 1977 is a valid one. Plus, as much as we all love RPGs, it would be one of the first things to get cut...

I'm pretty sure that's already happening. Have you seen Uwe Boll's Letterboxd reviews?

No! But I can always make it again (this is a threat)

I made deep dish pizza in a slow cooker yesterday. Does that make me the Double Antichrist™?

I drink and make bad choices.

Absolutely pitch perfect! 10/10, no notes.

Not to go full Ouroboros here, but there is a thread on the WFRP subreddit referencing this interview and there is a big tangent about how this one dude saw Daniel Fox be a jerk to a barista at a cafe in 2018 and that gives me endless joy. IYKYK

I always found Scrap Princess' art to be terrible childish splatter, and she's all over every trendy OSR book, so it definitely can work. That may not be a popular opinion.

Speaking of RPGs and Germany I've been trying to convince my groups to give Das Schwarze Auge a try. And man, it's a hard road. Turns out, nobody wants to roll D20s three times while spending metacurrency to augment each roll and then using the leftover currency amount to gauge the degree of...

There's a "miniature game" called Beer and Pretzels where all units are represented by literal pretzels and cans of beer. Let's normalize that.

I mean, where do we draw the line? To your example, is Dragonbane a Runequest "rip-off" because it has ducks in it still? Over the editions it's become less and less Runequest mechanically.

Yeah, I'm just saying I don't make the switch while playing AD&D because... I'm lazy.

I don't like Zweihander or Daniel Fox particularly but this is such a weird tack to take, imo. I mean, that's like most games? Like, should we boycott Rifts (not for the other, many and valid reasons) but because at its core it's house-ruled AD&D? What about Delta Green? I could go and on here.

I absolutely agree with most people here. It absolutely requires nothing. All you really need is a notebook and pencil and some sort of random number generator if you're willing to do work. If you're willing to do less work you can buy a couple books and just play forever. It's how we did it in...

I know Evil Hat publishes non-FATE stuff like Monster of the Week and what not, but honestly surprised this isn't running on some version of FATE. Are they stepping away from it?

What, having a 30% chance to climb walls at level 10 not good enough for you?

Yeah, it makes sense from a business standpoint as it absolutely was a WFRP clone at conception, that is indisputable (see its multi-year development on Strike to Stun). But once WFRP 4e came out removing it from that origin made sense, as well, you can just play that and not have to re-skin...

That's a fair point. I was referring to prose and images generated by AI directly. But yeah, I mean, at this point you can basically just have Grammarly write for you, so
