Cozy is defined by being a ‘comfortable’ read, not really being anything specific. That scene I’m betting was resolved quickly, and with as little threat as it could produce. It was ‘safe’ violence, involving ‘heroic’, surface level descriptions that could have been in a fairytale book. I’m not...

Ahem. Just to be clear… I lived through the 70/80 feral generation times. The accuracy of stranger things was rather disturbing. So was how rpg gamers were seen. Apologies, but please enjoy the current age where you can think the behaviors are unrealistic. Villainy in real life is often far...

Back that up a touch. I will always say things to your face. That’s how discourse works. You don’t have to agree with me, and that’s fine. As far as ‘queer’ in this context? That’s lucrative and there are tons of it out there published. I also didn’t say I wanted you to stay in a lane. Never...

I mean... I LIKE romanticy... but, that's some seriously crossed genre wires? Maybe they're trying to bridge some player bases? I can say without Wizards backing, most agents and publishers would likely skip it due to that mixture. They like sure things that stay in their literary lane.

When I said TSR, I meant it in the context of the rest of the paragraph: "The CR crew may be able to leverage their media influence to shift the needle, but this is kind of unique for a rpg company." Paizo, as far as I know, did not have a media branch at the time it took it's chances? I could...

I mean… he doesn’t have to. It’s no worse than all the ones saying it’s the best thing since code fusion. I like it, but I also think it made some odd decisions, like seraphs getting wings? So half of all healer cleric style characters can fly? The rules are fine, though.

To be fair, Europe has had issues getting copies of MANY things in the rpg space. Especially initially. It’s not a good thing, but it’s been darn consistent. Let’s be honest. They printed what they thought was a reasonable amount of product. They based that number on previous sales.on older rpg...

Just to be clear… None of this has a single doggone thing to do with daggerheart, and has been rehashed to the point the popcorn is stale. The idea that daggerheart sold out its whole stock in weeks that they expected to last years? Does not surprise me. CR is well known for misgauging its own...

You know, I’ve had really good history with Kickstarter. None of the ones I have backed have failed. I considered using Kickstarter for a few projects, and then shrugged and went, “why not make the thing on my own time, and just… publish it?” I get that Kickstarter is more of a marketing...

I had a spreadsheet thing that did it all for me. Then never got to use it.

Sorcerers of Arcane Bloooooooooood! <looks at cover> Yep.

Well, let’s look at it. Ravenloft is a full setting. It not only tends to have setting specific. Rules, but the original books were a training set to explain the idea of gothic horror to both gm and players. Dark sun can be reduced further, with much of the world being a result of the rules...

<shrugs> Then I can't really have a discussion about modern warfare. Mass-media has changed the landscape, as far as my consideration. I'll bow out, then.

Hence... "Ender's Game."

Not really relevant. Could you go more modern for your argument?

Interesting. The view of this article is about war at its most efficient and final. But that’s not how actual war works. Let’s be clear. Modern war has been transformed by a little thing called “mass communication.” You CAN obliterate a planet from orbit, but what is going to be the response...

I still remember seeing this on the saturday block and going... "Hmnn. He-man clone. I'm sure it will be..." Blows up a planet with people still on it and kills off a main character, takes the kid and stuffs him in an adult body, and shows consequences, bad ones, for the things being done...

Hmnn. Jester, “Joke me harder!” Lavorre, and the Quest for the Dust of Deliciousness?

I’m into some teeanger! <throws golf club> Ah, the 80s. More truth than fiction in that last age of latchdoor, feral children. The things I did make half the movies about that era seem tame by comparison. I guess there may have been some 80s kids who were bored, but darned if I never got that...

To be honest, daggerheart is showing sold out. Can’t be sure they made enough or what their books look like, but selling out of a product is usually seen as a good thing?
