    This is the Yin-Yang of economic theory: what's better, higher wages or lower prices? Lower prices create greater demand, which increases employment.

    I don't blame you in the least. What's happening is terrible. If you are Canadian (I think you are?) please accept my apology on behalf of the Americans who want nothing to do with this insanity.

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    It is good for them, and good for those of us who play their game and buy their products. But I can tell you, since my wife has books being printed in China, that the IP theft there is endemic. It's not a bug: it's a feature. The less US business China gets, the better.

    I don't know how I missed that reply, but thank you for reminding me. What an a*sshole.

    That's pretty f'ing gross, Mannahnin. What a tool.

    I never heard of the guy until I read his book. I’ve never read his blog or anything.

    I just read the new, updated one and enjoyed it a great deal. I liked Johnson's book as well.

    I think a lot of it is bombastic in order to drive engagement.

    She mentioned the BROSR and spoke about their insights in a positive way.

    I don't blame her. I try to keep people's politics separate from their game stuff, when/if it comes up. Not always easy.

    If you watch Kelsey Dionne's West Marches video on the Youtube, she gives a shout out to the BROSR faction, as well as their leader, Jeffro Johnson. Around 40 minutes in.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Can you accept the possibility that some people just don't like the new stuff? That they think all, or even some, of the changes aren't good?

    A review of Shadowdark: Streamlined Modern OSR

    I'm reading through the rulebook now for the first time (it's lovely). I am seeing a lot of Dungeon Crawl Classics DNA for sure. It seems like a simple, but elegant, system for a fun TTRPG. Also, the person who made is just...nice. Like, a nice human. Glad I grabbed it!

    Which game books most inspire the "sense of wonder" in you?

    FR5 The Savage Frontier (TSR 1988). I read this to tatters when I was living in Maine and experiencing deep northern winter. It is still my favorite supplement. The cover art by Larry Elmore is incredible.

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    Howard's ability to evoke a sense of the weird is unparalleled, in my opinion. I have found his writing to be deeply immersive in a way that few others can match. I live in the Conan stories when I read them, which is why I read them again and again.
