That podcast episode of Mastering Dungeons was brilliant. But I didn't get the take-away that Abadia and Merwin felt that the DM's Guild has become a "dead-end market" or "ghetto" . . . although it certainly has diminished in how well it serves the community, including fans, creators, and WotC.

Could Filoni write & produce a new Star Wars series based on Heir to the Empire, weaving in characters and plots from existing Star Wars shows? Hell yeah, I don't think that is problematic or difficult at all. Obviously, the story wouldn't be a strict interpretation of Heir to the Empire, but...

Not exactly what they are saying, but close enough I guess. It's the classic old debate, should we separate art from artist? If I learn that a particular artist I enjoy (or might enjoy) is not a great person, can I or should I still engage with their art? Everyone draws the line in a different...

Nope. Not what is happening here.

Okay, shrug. Guess it must not be a thing then.

So . . . when we learn of bad actors we should just keep quiet about it? Not spread the news to others who might not know? Yeah, the whole idea of being quiet so as to "not platform" bad actors . . . no thanks.

Thanks?

Okay. Shrug. "Keyboard warrior" is a dog whistle that itself is a bit sus, but . . . For me, personally, as a fan of RPG games and OSR games specifically, I'm wary of publishers and creators I'm not familiar with because of the bad behavior of several prominent creators in the field (Webb...

Especially when some of those regressive creators are very prominent publishers/creators within the OSR community. Sadly, it creates a situation where other creators and fans need to work harder to distance themselves and the community overall from folks like Peterson, Webb, and Bledsaw. If...

Please. "Old-school gamer" is not the same thing as old person. As a Gen X old person, and old-school gamer, I support @Riley and @Artamo in their concerns. The old-school movement within the gaming community has a problem with some creators being creeps and pervs. Obviously, not every...

Well, I suppose I can add Necromancer Games to my list of companies to avoid. :( It was easy to confuse Necromancer Games, Frog God Games, and Goodman Games . . . I suppose now I don't have to worry anymore about conflating the three companies. :(

I felt that way when Maul first returned. But damn, after coming back from being chopped in half, his character arc has been amazing. I'm a huge fan of the character post-split.

Ah yeah, I remember all of that . . . It's what put me off being a customer of Frog God Games from that point forward. Bill's "apology" was weak and minimized what he actually did, and the company kept him on. Later, the issue with Goodman and Judges Guild put me off being a customer of...

That scene was not actually in the stories, it was added for the show. George R.R. Martin is overall pretty happy with the adaptation so far . . . but has expressed he was not happy with the addition of that scene. His response was basically, "Why? Why do we need that?"

Huh? So, an alien race like the betazoids can't have individuals with different disabilities? Like being deaf? I mean, it is weird that everybody speaks English and the sign language the betazoids use is ASL (American Sign Language), but . . . that's a sci-fi trope that impacts virtually all...

There are valid concerns when turning fossils into something to be sold as collectibles . . . But the folks behind these T-Rex dice have covered that concern. I'm not bothered by this, at least not from the "rare fossil" angle. You can find all sorts of fossils and things made from fossils in...

The betazoid leader was deaf. The other betazoids (outside of his family) only used ASL when communicating with him. Both of his children used ASL when talking with him, and with each other. It's only about being able to communicate with the betazoid leader, and the two siblings used it with...

I did Convergence Station, the Denver Meow Wolf location, this past fall. Wow. All of the different Meow Wolf attractions are now on my bucket list. One of the coolest things I've ever done, way cooler than the "Secrets of Waterdeep" experience at Fan Fest last year. Although, I did enjoy that!

I picked up the Bag of Holding and the dice scroll bag and I love them! Fun, pretty well made! I don't use the Bag of Holding because, ironically, it won't fit all the stuff I bring to my D&D games, but I've been using the dice bag ever since last spring. I was disappointed in the t-shirts and...
