Wow, I’m surprised that Origins is the 5th largest tabletop convention with those sort of attendee numbers. I thought there were more tabletop conventions pulling bigger numbers than that, but I’m likely thinking of a lot of “gaming” conventions that are more about tabletop miniatures games than...

Yeah, I’m really showing my age, because this doesn’t feel like a blue dragon to me. But I’m no longer the target audience for prepainted D&D minis (I paint them myself), so it’s not like they’re losing a potential sale from me.

This was my first thought, “Wait, he died?”

I feel like, even trying to take it at its absolute best intentions, it’s still a horribly bad idea. And that’s at best. At worst it’s lying to your customer base.

I can’t speak for others, but that’s my position. I haven’t read or heard any bigoted statements from GG, but choosing to work with known Holocaust deniers who, when called out, doubled down on where they stand, is 100% a choice they have made. GG can argue whatever reason they like for...

Goodman Games: We’re inclusive. Also Goodman Games: We’re working directly with holocaust deniers. Does he not see how the dissonance between those 2 positions?

I also experience this with Blood Bowl, which is a GW miniatures board game. 3rd party companies have made Blood Bowl teams for a decade or more because GW didn’t release any new minis. Then, in 2016, GW decided to have an interest in the game again. Multiple 3rd parties will release sculpts...

Or, it shows that a lot of people who will mutter quietly their dislike will make their outrage loud and clear when you team up with Holocaust deniers. In terms of shades of grey, nazis tend to be as close to black and white in terms of whether your average person thinks they are good or bad...

Yeah, I feel like most people in this thread have reached a point where, regardless of whether Bledsaw Jr is telling the truth or not, Joseph Goodman is still not cutting and running from their planned CSIO project. There may be financial considerations at play, but financial considerations or...

Yeah, I got screwed by the Blacklist Games kickstarter too. So it was nice to at least get the STLs so I can print them myself.

I spent a lot of money on the pre-painted D&D minis back in the mid-2000’s and own well over 1,000 of them. However, we’ve used them in every session for almost 20 years now. So I’d say they have been great value for money.

Yep, I totally agree. Know one knows what the tariff situation will be a month from now, let alone 6-12 months from now. It makes it all but impossible to make any informed business decision without taking a huge risk.

Yeah, business growth and unpredictability generally don’t go together. At the moment the whole world doesn’t know what the US will do tomorrow, let alone next week or 6 months from now. That makes it all but impossible for businesses to commit to new projects with any real certainty.

I think the reality is we don’t know and, if we think we know, the US government may decide to change the rules within the next few hours anyway. That’s just the reality of the situation and how quickly and often it is currently shifting. I have no horse in this race. I just pity those that...

I’m not sure as it’s been over a decade since I ran those adventures. Flood Season (which I think is the name of the opening adventure) has a memorable exploration of the gnome underground city of Jzadirune, but it is still largely a dungeon crawl. I’d have to reread Drakthar’s Way to remember...

I hope this is an actual retirement, rather than a “retirement”. I have lots of fond memories of Chris Perkins adventures. Running The Shackled City AP is still probably the high point of my DMing career, with Perkins writing 5 of the 12 adventures in that campaign. My group still fondly...

Interestingly, I think our group loved the hex crawl, but I know our DM put a lot of work adding extra stuff to it (both with additional DM’s Guild material and his own), so I’m not sure if we loved it because of all the extra stuff added into it. The final dungeon was fun too (although I found...

Nice work. Our party defeated Acererak, but we found the final battle a bit underwhelming. The 50hp regen and the powers you got from your chosen god made it feel a bit too video-gamey to me. It was like the designers wanted the final battle to be more epic than could be achieved with...

I backed these via Kickstarter years ago and I’m happy with my purchase. I have other non-clear tiles that I use for most games, but occasionally my clear tiles will get a run when the GM has printed a map out on paper and we want to use it as a battlemat or “write” on it without it being...

Apologies. I seriously failed my investigation check in reading the article! 🤦‍♂️
