Nothing prepared and we actually want to play tonight? Not just make characters? I'd probably go with Into the Odd.

That' s interesting. Do you house rule a lot? If she's seen you twist and bend the rules a couple of times she might think that's just the way every game should be played, or she might be inspired by some other source (youtube?). New GMs house ruling out the gate seems a bit unusual, to me at least.

I basically agree with everyone so far. It's quite the tightrope to walk. On the one hand talking to her would seem to be the answer since everyone should be having fun at the table and basic knowledge about how rules are to be interpreted might be part of the fun for people. On the other, a...

Thanks for the recommendations. If I get the time I might check some of them out. A while ago I listened to Eleven Foot Pole, sadly not releasing anything anymore, and they were pretty great. Listened to them at the gym and people must have thought me a crazy person as I was trying to hold back...

When I do listen to live plays I usually get bored pretty quickly unless the group playing is very funny. As far as rules go I think most live plays don't use the rules enough, spending most of their time roleplaying, to get a feel for a system. At the same time this brings to mind all the times...

I hope so too. Doesn’t change that it’s his money being used to repay his debts. Goodman isn’t repaying Bledsaws debt as some seem to claim.

I hadn’t heard this. Also prominent position people tend to get replaced. How about those of not prominent positions?

Now I don't think WotC or D&D is in trouble at all, but likening WotC steadily losing people to Darrington Press losing one and gaining two doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny.

The gate leads to a pocket dimension containing a large rainforest stretching along the inside of the tree. The rainforest is ruled over by a coven of witches that have been trapped there for centuries and they have passed the time by experimenting on the local flora and fauna creating all kinds...

If you want to go that route it's from the backers employers and once it was printed, most likely by the government. I don't know what point you where trying to make but the backers gave the money to Goodman Games of their own free will making the money Goodman Game's money. Goodman Games then...

After a time of grueling work on my shoulder health I'm about 90% pain free. It's that last 10% that has me worried something might flare up again. But I'm back doing push ups and even work on my pull ups again. I'm not going to failure during workouts right now due to previously mentioned worry.

While I don't disagree that Goodman might be the reason anyone is seeing any money back, fact remains that the money being paid is Bledsaws. That's why an escrow account is used. Also, as Bledsaw is the one selling something to Goodman he would be within his full rights to deny the deal of using...

Make no mistake people, it is Bledsaw who's refunding the backers with his money. It is money owed him through a licensing deal Goodman has agreed upon. That Bledsaw has agreed to allow Goodman to handle these refunds through and escrow account does not change whose money it is.

As someone who haven't seen Deathstalker it seems to me like my interest in some kind of Deathstalker supplement is greater than from those who've seen it. Looking at posters and pictures I think it looks kind of cool, but I get from others' discussions that the movie itself isn't very good and...

Hate this as well. If Goodman did this because he cared about preserving older gaming products for the future he wouldn't make an expensive luxury product and then add artificial scarcity on top of that. Of course, having it on sale would mean more money to JG in the future so it's basically a...

I found it pretty dull for the most part and then it just ended. I feels like the MCU movies have gotten a bit too comfortable holding off on the major climaxes and pushing them into later movies.

Complete agreement. However, this time, he did have the option to forgo the business contact but chose not to. For your argument to be relevant to this situation one would have to answer the question: in what way was Goodman forced into a partnership with JG?

This reminded me of the Fading Suns 2nd ed. where they introduced the concept of Passion Play. If you played in this optional way you played the usual, GM-driven, way but then you had a kind of post-session where you attributed meaning to the events that took place. For instance a regular...

In every article concerning this issue Goodman has managed to say something that make me go "huh?" In this one it's the part where he says that he doesn't want to be associated with racism, bigotry, anti-semitism and so forth. But who's forcing him? Was there a contractual obligation for him to...

Also @EzekielRaiden misrepresented the intent of that post so it doesn’t prove his point at all.
