Well, if you really want a print version of something that's not currently available in print, you can always make a custom printing. I point out some tips and tricks for doing that at lulu.com over in this thread...

@JLowder Thanks for adding so much fascinating insight! I wanted to ask that, as far as the underlying causes for TSR's collapse goes, do you think that factoring (which Riggs mentioned in his book, where TSR would go to (I believe it was) a bank and make a deal to turn over a year's profits as...

Minor correction, here: Gary was in the process of moving to California in mid-1982. According to Flint Dille in his book The Gamesmaster (in the section "Meeting a Wizard in a Medieval Tower in Anaheim"), he met Gary on Saturday, May 29th, 1982, while Gary was looking for a place to set up the...

I recently picked up Gannet Games' Spell Themes: Lesser (affiliate link) for PF1 a few days ago, and I'm quite happy with it overall. As the sales page notes, this is a book of "lesser" spells, in that they're all weaker variations of existing spells. Interestingly, the author's introduction...

No, I hadn't even heard about that one. Thanks for the tip!

I just finished reading Jon Peterson's Playing at the World 2E, Volume 1, and I'm a bit surprised at my own blasé reaction to it. I purchased this book, along with the aforementioned Fifty Years of Dungeons & Dragons, at Gen Con 2024, largely because I'd been on a years-long endeavor of reading...

The Predator approves of this idea.

Resurrecting this thread with a notation that ultravision did, contrary to popular belief, make it into AD&D 2E (sort of): see the ring of ultravision in the Encyclopedia Magica.

I hate the use of rhetorical anticlimax in action films, which is typically represented by a snappy one-liner that breaks dramatic tension. It strikes me as being self-indulgent, rather than witty. EDIT: I didn't see a 2025 thread, so this comment had nowhere else to go. :P

Teogonia should definitely be added to this list.

I clicked on this thread to read the news about Chaosium, and ended up viewing a random duck pic.

Another supplement that I picked up during the recent PaizoCon Sale was Rite Publishing's Monster Templates: Headless Horseman (affiliate link). I'll admit that I was surprised when I saw this one. Partially that was because I apparently somehow missed it in the decade-plus since it was...

I personally found Ewalt's book to be almost like a primer for non-gamers, as if he wrote it trying to explain "what is this strange pastime, and why do so many people seem drawn to it?" While he makes it clear that he is one of those people, there's a certain distance to his tone, which makes...

Versions of Ultima VIII and Ultima IX that weren't terrible.

A friend of mine recently got me into Epic: The Musical, and I've been binging various animatics that go along with the music. I think this one is my favorite so far:

For what it's worth, I managed to ask this question to Skip Williams (one of the designers of 3E, among his numerous other credits), who answered it in the pages of Kobold Quarterly #10:

Today's Deal of the Day is A Magical Society: Silk Road, from Expeditious Retreat Press. It's marked 60% off for the next twenty hours, so make sure to grab it while you can! Please note my use of affiliate links in this post.
