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...

So wild. You’re still not the person from your company who should be chatting with people online. I wonder how many more sales you’ve cost your company than just mine. And yes, fans have been collating their own info and stories from beloved franchises for RPGs since long before you and will...

He's be a god by the end of the series.

I'm inherently insatiably curious so want to know what's up, but it's none of my business. I feel a bit okay wondering because Kelsey's putting it out there. Unless they're both going to carry a baby, I'm not sure why they'd both need medical intervention prior to having a kid or kids. Are they...

Ugh. PSU bathroom graffiti. Mostly just grout / gout jokes from what I remember.

It was a great, fun movie. But I love the goofy and comedic stuff. Same reason I like Guardians of the Galaxy. It doesn't take itself too seriously and leans in to the inherently goofy nature of superheroes and comic books. I love that. Tales to Astonish is one of the better tracks off the...
