    D&D 5E (2024) Gold & Other Treasure (Can we get off the treadmill?)

    And he wrote a series of blog posts subscribing to the theory that Pence could refuse to certify the 2020 election. He's also just announced an upcoming ACKS supplement based on a book published by neo-nazi Vox Day's own Castalia House Publishing. People making excuses for him remind me of...

    Rebellion Acquires Tunnels & Trolls

    Yep, like the just-released Lair of the Leopard Princesses by Sarah Newton of Mindjammer fame. It's a full-on, pulpy, Sword & Sorcery game with a cool setting that takes M!M! (and by extension T&T) to some neat places. I wasn't too excited about this, to be honest, but curiosity got the best of...

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    Chirine Ka Bal acknowledged that this was known to the Tekumel Foundation in Barker's lifetime by some of his peers, and after his death by even more. While I can understand not knowing how to deal with something like this, the fact is that an attempt was not even made. That having been said, I...

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    Barker was on the editorial board of that publication for around a decade. All of the issues are on the Internet Archive.

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    Worth noting that even if Barker wasn't an actual uniform-wearing, goose-stepping nazi, he can still be (and by the available evidence certainly was) an anti-Semite. As to his being Muslim, racist movements have a long history of strange bedfellows. Dan Burros, a prominent Klan member in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Talislanta D&D 5e version crowd fund soon!

    While a lot of the Talislanta races have the Star Trek problem (i.e., humanoids/humans with "brow ridges"), I'm not sure I agree that they actually have elves just because some of the races are fair or have pointed ears. From a cultural standpoint, I don't really see anything analogous to elves...

    Troika!: An Interview with Daniel Sell

    Aaaah! I somehow missed this Kickstarter. Hope it will be available for purchase afterwards. I really like Troika. It's just such a well-considered design. I ran it for my group, and most of them liked it. We played the introductory adventure from the book, and I added a pamphlet adventure...

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    The Pudding Pop Rapist and his I Spy co-star Robert Culp were also in a fantastic early '70s detective flick called Hickey and Boggs (which Culp directed). Dynamite film, really good, but good luck getting anyone to watch it with you these days. I mean, I get it, it's just tainted now.

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    According to Chirine, former archivist for the Tekumel Foundation, some members were aware of Barker's views well before he died. I can see no reason to doubt his account.

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    Barker's name appears as "Philip Barker, Ph.D." from Minneapolis, MN in the "Journal" from 1989-2002. Easy to find on the Intenet Archive (not linking for obvious reasons, even though ithe Archive is not a racist site). I mean, it's just getting impossible to believe that this isn't him.

    D&D General Thaco the angry clown... really?

    At some point within the last couple of months, Pundit posted on his own site that "India wouldn't exist without colonialism" and some time back, he posted "F--- every single Palestinian." These statements, these posts, are up on his site right now. These are statements he has willingly made...

    Zweihander Revised Core Rulebook- a read-through

    CHAPTER 13: A BITTER HARVEST Zweihander's final Chapter is A Bitter Harvest, an introductory scenario. I have seen reviewers sidestep this Chapter altogether, so as to avoid spoilers. And while I understand that, ABH deserves a little more attention. At 30 pages, ABH is a full-length...
