    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Maybe the 'great achievement' was winning the lease from the previous holder of #11731. I mean, it's a billboard! I bet they had to fight a deathmatch for it!

    Really looking forward to the new Michael Keaton Batman film coming out next month.

    It makes me profoundly sad that someone thought it was a good idea to keep making a movie with a broken stair, that they decided to do Flashpoint, and then that after I've already decided to skip another DC Dark Universe movie they put Michael Keaton in to tempt me back in.

    horror games that you love (that aren't 'world of darkness' or cthulhu related.)

    That it, right there. Pacesetter. One, Two, and Three on my list. BtS, I enjoyed for a while but I really treated it more like "Modern Fantasy. We were probably playing it wrong. Nightlife, I never got to play but I LOVED reading it. "Splatterpunk." I wanted to play a Penangalan. Mayfair's...

    Synnibarr vs WotC

    Oh, yeah. There was some serious involvement with U-W gamers, and before MSG, I think Dragonflight had game days on the UW campus... But I was just a kid for most of that. I didn't get super involved in the convention until... '96. When I was almost 30... so... super old. :p

    Synnibarr vs WotC

    My Synnibar story (Though I am not sure it was a Raven story.) My memory of the times may be off, as it all blurs together, but I recall this being pretty early on. I think it was... '83? I was at Dragonflight, at Seattle University, I was pretty young, 14 - 16, I think. I was looking at the...

    3,000 DriveThruRPG orders

    I resisted electronic for a long time past when others started adopting it. The reasons are stupid now. But the point is I've only really been doing electronic for about 10 years, and I still prefer paper when I can. Aw, jeez...

    TSR Why I still love the Real TSR

    I've discussed elsewhere how my dad bought the blue box for a friend's 12th, and how that started thing off. But for my 13th birthday, my mom took me to the toy shop. I browsed and browsed, and finally saw Gamma World. My first RPG. Years later, I may play other things. I many like other games...

    Help me name my GURPS Black Ops campaign?

    I named mine a few years back "The Deadbeats." That was just the nickname of their unit.

    D&D General Just Eat the Dang Fruit

    Players always use OOC knowledge. :p DM could make secret saves. Or wait until every partakes, or a reasonable bit of time lapses. As for the players, letting the phrase "saving throw" alter your decision isn't great, but I've seen it more than I haven't. For that reason I often use one of the...

    Dogs in the Vineyard: Playbooks

    This is very cool, but my eyes keep getting pulled to "Personal Affects." I feel a deep, visceral need to fix it.

    A Remembrance of Everway: The First WOTC RPG that was too Good to Succeed

    Back in the 90s, I wrote for a small local 'zine. Its emphasis was "Horror and Weird." My main thing was reviews, and I reviews a lot of things, some cool, some awful, some lame derivative ripoffs... and then there was Everway. Having heard there was a "Collectible Card RPG" (it's not and...

    What's the WORST Star Wars movie?

    The prequels. If I'd had a 4th vote, Rise of Skywalker. But I at least didn't shake me head and throw stuff at the screen for that one.

    I should write a book called "Diary of an RPG Hoarder"

    Get rid of everything that does not bring you joy. Seriously. Now... you have to honestly and thoughtfully weigh every factor and decide what brings joy. For me, About 14-15 years ago I decided I didn't want a "collection" of games. I decided I wanted a working library of games. Would I...
