I haven't checked the whole thread but I'd recommend checking out Midkemia Press's various City supplements, especially Cities. All are available from DTRPG. They are the people who did Thieves Worlds random tables that were mentioned above. For Tulan, Carse and Jonril(sp?) they give an...

Does Holmes get no respect as it's own special edition?!? Sure it's close to OD&D but it's not. It's my intro to D&D so it has a special place in my heart

Untamed World by published by Osprey is another Justifiers like sci Fi game. Just came out a few weeks ago I believe.

The comment about UA feeling like a collection of Dragon articles is dead on. I know probably most of you know it was but for the younger folks benefit, 80%(made up number but a lot of it) or so of UA actually did appear in Dragon before becoming UA. UA was surprisingly like a hardcover...

I think for a lot of people it read worse than it played and most people didn't play everything to compare it. Cavalier with it's lower AC but armor requirements meant they rarely got magic armor they could wear. Barbarians couldn't use a lot of magic. Thief-acrobat was useless in my...

I think we only really used the Cavalier and Weapon Specialization in my group. Maybe some of the spells. We played Temple of Elemental Evil when UA came out. We had a Cavalier, a fighter, Me(Thief), a cleric(infrequent player/NPC) and a Wizard(DMs character/NPC). The Cavalier and Weapon...

It's old but Haven by Gamelords has a base assumption that the characters will be thieves of some sort. It's designed to work for Thieves Guild/AD&Dish games. You can still buy it in shrink from Different Worlds last I checked.

Actually it's coming out of the backers pockets.

Sure but up thread we had Goodwill referenced as it means in corporate accounting so seems reasonable to stay consistent. This is not a legal debt it's something else.

Not sure I agree. If the name on the check is Goodman I'd say that's who refunded me the money. Goodman is willing to pay me off to release this product with less outrage. I don't trust that the money would have made it to me if not for Goodman. Bledsaw could have just taken the royalties...

I mean he has over a decade to release the last version and didn't succeed in any way. This possibility seems unlikely to me. He's not on DTRPG which has a borderline monopoly on independent RPG sales. Whatever he could theoretically make is going to have to clear the hurdles of no major...

Who they? JG or Goodman? I feel better towards Goodman for making me whole.

This. As a backer of the original campaign, Goodman bailed me out not JG. JG has been doing it's level best to make it's products toxic material. Goodman got the goodwill not JG. Oh and @robertsconley gets a ton of goodwill for years of trying to get JG backers something to make up for...

It also has energy needs. I'm sure someone has threatened it in instances and seen if/how it reacts.

For those who might want to add multitouch to monitors inlayed into tables there's this: https://a.co/d/0XMcnZq adds infrared sensors so the tv becomes a touchscreen. I haven't done it yet myself but it's tempting

I've had mine for 6 years. The TV is actually used very infrequently but is still working. I have a plexiglass cover over it like another poster mentioned. I supported the back of the TV in several spaces. Seems fine. I think the warning about placing it horizontal vs vertical is more a...

Depends on the information. I think I could find almost all of the information in all my college textbooks legally and freely available on either a webpage, youtube video or podcast. The libraries still all have PDF or ebook files I can checkout free to me. However from my librarian friends...

I think for preservation purposes, paper is king. But of the millions of books sold and disposed of each year the fraction needed to be in print for preservation purposes are far lower than the total produced. The hot author of the month or even the decade is probably much more environmentally...

I have mixed feelings on this. The 1930s goal was to support the spread of information which the internet itself does much more efficiently than mailing objects around. Media rate is functionally a subsidy to book publishers that other shippers have to pay. When you talk about inter library...

I took advantage of the notes from BGG's "$150 gaming table" thread and built my own table. It's 5'x7' with a 4'x6' sunken play area that can be covered. Inset into the 4'x6' play area is a 40" TV. It's setup to play RPGs with Fantasy Grounds running displaying maps on the inset TV. The...
