We get slapped around with the "No politics!" hammer all too often, but you go to the front page and you get confronted with a title like this... It's alright if the site owner does it... Was such a title necessary? No. Does it generate clicks and scandal? HELL YES! I won't buy these products...

Or lack thereof. What different people get out of an pnp RPG and how to 'service' multiple groups. What those different audience groups are, maybe a bit of research into how big each group is and how good sales are, and if those groups primarily buy digital or physical. Define a hobby project...

To be fair, all the news items on the front page are just forum threads that have a 'special' status and get listed on the front page. The line between 'news site' and forum are very... Blurred? And I wouldn't call ENworld a major news outlet. But I've been coming here for 25+ years and get most...

Due to how the Internet works these days, I would say that I would consider major gaming news outlets one of the less dependable sources for information, especially reviews. I even wonder for how long independents like Digital Foundry or Second Wind will stay viable. Currently there's a...

And when you turned 18, 21, 30, 40, 50... They are timeless! ;)

Then do you have an example of an Indian company that produces PVC/HIPS miniatures/game pieces? A link would be useful. Or is that proprietary information as well...

Siocast is Spanish, they use a thermoplastic for casting. They use specialized thermoplastic pellets (from SioCast), maybe they can get a replacement that works the exact same in the US... I've also heard from certain manufacturers that the SioCast machines are a PITA to operate/maintain/repair...

Do you have an example of a miniatures or boardgames company that does their plastic mini/component manufacturing in India? Plastic injection molding is a wide industry, injection molding boxes is something different from injection molding plastic miniatures. The US has had this same issue...

Does Leaf Paper Mill have the capacity to handle all the paper for the printing that's not happening in China anymore? No. Could they expand, probably. But where do those trees come from? Where do those machines come from? And where does the qualified personnel come from to operate the...

Hasbro is #1905 when looking at current market cap. Yes, it's not a megacorp, going by the definition of megacorp, there are very few in the world (if any). But Hasbro is not an average corp when it's #1905 of almost 360 million corporations world wide. It's still a multinational that's in the...

Sure D&D is going to be all right in the US, until printers are raising prices. Even IF the printers they use use US paper, US inkt, and US machines and everything downstream is also US made, there will be way more demand and not enough supply. That means prices go up. And as not everything a...

Yeah, that will be my core as well, but after that video is a possibility I'm willing to look at in some particular situations. But keep in mind that you don't have to run everything yourself, OpenAI has Sora for example, and there are other services that have pretty good models for video...

"Shuttered" isn't the correct word to use here, the company is still operational (as the press release indicates), it's just put all (new) projects on hold. Honestly I wonder if the Distributor (Flat River Group) behind this company is seeing stuff outside of the tariffs situation, and/or if...

Honestly, the first two sets seem kinda of acceptable, the third looks like plastic clumps. But for $26 for 22 monsters (I count the Mimics as monsters) and 12 pieces of scenery is a pretty good deal! And if you look at the painted image, on the Amazon page, it looks a bit better, some of the...

@ezo You're reading way too much into my laughing emoji! Maybe first figure out yourself before laying out motivations at others feet. Sometimes people are laughing with you, instead of laughing at you...

More choice in how you want to play. You like hardcover books, go for it! You like pdfs, go for it! You like VTT xyz, go for it! You want to play theater of the mind in person, do tactical battles in person, use a tech invested play table in person, you want to do that online, go for it...

In 2023 it was like $25 for the 46 pdfs from DH1/DH2, Black Crusade, and Only War: https://web.archive.org/web/20230410061905/https://www.humblebundle.com/books/warhammer40k-darkheresy-blackcrusade-onlywar-cubicle7games-books That's a pretty good deal. The old physical books for these series...

Depends on the perspective... From a publisher's view, it's dead when they don't sell anything from it anymore, not enough to matter, or just don't produce anything anymore for it. Example, Green Ronin still sells their 3.5e pdfs, but I suspect not enough to matter... So they would consider...

Keep an eye on Humble Bundle, the pdf collections have shown up there a couple of times.

Well, almost 175k people won't see sun rise tomorrow. The sun is still there, the earth is still there, but that won't always be the case. We know that won't always be the case. There could be some unexpected events that could make that happen a heck of a lot sooner though. But those kinds of...
