    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    Nothing specific I don't think, just the general 'this situation sucks' - Kaidan is Japanese horror with an emphasis on Japanese cultural authenticity (I'm half Japanese and a lifetime Japanophile, I thought OA sucked in the greater scheme of things). So fixing OA was a part of original concept...

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    In The Gift, the first module of the intro trilogy to my Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG), I included that local markets didn't serve foreigners, and they were forced to shop where the oppressed caste of Japanese culture shopped (Kaidan included social castes as well). Because Kaidan...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does anyone else think that 1D&D will create a significant divide in the community?

    I don't claim that WotC is being logical, but my point is just a thought... there are better ways of doing it, but... I also don't know what the characters and plot of the television series, which might have no connection to the characters and plot of the movie. If they're different, then...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does anyone else think that 1D&D will create a significant divide in the community?

    While the timing would be wrong for a new game a year from now, regarding this point, but what if WotC wanted to make an 'easier', 'more streamlined' version of the game for new people to the game, that WotC hopes to entice with a maybe block-buster movie and a televsion series. So that they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does anyone else think that 1D&D will create a significant divide in the community?

    Probably not helpful, but I know people who play 1e, 2e, 3x, 4e, 5e, Pathfinder, and many other RPGs. How is the most current edition splitting up the current one make any real difference, when there's a half dozen iterations right now still be played by somebody? These splits are permanent too...

    D&D 5E (2014) A monster stat block should always fit on one side of one page maximum (a poll)

    I treat it as a goal, not a rule, the art sometimes takes up too much space, even when necessary and I'm 3PP, so, it comes up...

    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    Though my first game was in 1977, I didn't start playing regularly until 1979. One DM did randomly generated dungeons, while I always have (and still) create the entire dungeon from scratch in game prep prior to the game - never randomly generating anything. I seldom used Random Encounter...

    Physicists in RPGs

    Not exactly what you're requesting, but my last published product was The Planet Builder, a set of tables you use to generate scientifically viable, entire star systems, and a planet point system to adjust your system, create resource stations to grow the technology of your system over time to...

    So I need a Gothic Horror TTRPG...

    Well I published the Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG), which is definitely not Gothic Horror and it's PF1, probably in every way falls out of qualification. I find it works best to stick with the Core, and those supplements with Asian classes (samurai, etc.) and the Kaidan books and...

    When were you introduced to

    D&D 1977, my next door neighbor's grandson, a couple years younger than me, when he visited, I was the kid in the neighborhood that played with him. That year, I was 15, he was 13, he suffered dyslexia and his teacher recommended he play D&D for all the reading required. But I didn't start...

    Your thoughts on Generic versus Bespoke systems.

    I've indirectly answered this on another thread. Unlike many tabletop gamers, I most enjoy world building and creating an entire custom settings of my own using a generic system, having no connection to any published or movie made IP. If I didn't create the IP, I have no interest in playing a...

    D&D General Talking about Stepping Away from D&D?

    I did that back at the very end of D&D 3.5, when I went to Pathfinder as a player and a publisher. I haven't returned to D&D since. As a publisher, I got encouraged to create custom Spelljammer ships and deck plans to release as 3PP on the DM's Guild, which I'm about to release. So as a...

    It is time to forgive WOTC and get back onboard.

    While I did purchase the 'disappointing' Spelljammer 5e book set, I needed to see their rules, since I intended to publish a 3PP product for Spelljammer, but otherwise, I haven't made a D&D purchase of any kind since 3.5...

    It is time to forgive WOTC and get back onboard.

    I never trusted Hasbro/WotC in the first place, so they didn't lose my trust. No need to forgive, I knew they would do something like the OGL fiasco at some point, they've done it in the past and will do it again. To me, that's an expectation, I wasn't surprised at all. If I create a support...

    Thoughts on the Failure of Licensed IP in the Hobby: The Lack of Disney-fication is a Feature, not a Bug

    Reflecting the thread about Licensed RPGs you'd like to see... this concept doesn't even intrigue me. I'm certain, I'm not like most gamers. I've previously mentioned, I wasn't big into comics as a kid, I did purchase some of the horror comics of old (Uncle Creepy, Cousin Eerie and Vampirella)...

    How long on average are your game sessions?

    I voted 4 - 6 hours, but in reality, I run about 4.5 hours per session, so just slightly more than 4 hours. I've run 24 hour games before, maybe a half dozen times over the past several decades.

    D&D General Do you want a 3D vtt?

    Just to add my 2 cents, no, I don't need a 3D VTT. Not only that, I don't need virtual tabletop at all. I only play at a live table. As a third party publisher and a professional cartographer, I've been creating VTT maps and content for over 10 years, so I know how to create content for virtual...

    Low-Magic Campaign

    Now this was for Pathfinder (PF1), but back when I was developing my Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG), just prior to the release of Way of the Samurai (PFRPG), I wanted to playtest the various Samurai archetypes and prestige classes included in the supplement, none of which possessed...

    D&D General Fantasy Equivalent of the Nuke

    Ever wonder what happens when you pull a portable hole out of a bag of holding? You get a rip in the fabric of reality, which can be 'nuclear', if you let it go unstopped... ;)
