This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I Interviewed Rob Kuntz!

Quote from: Gronan of Simmerya;1031315Also, if Don Kaye had lived, I think the history of TSR would be very, very, very different.

Explain!

Well, we know Kaye was Gygax's friend, and without his death more than 50% of the company wouldn't have been concentrated in the Blumes (who bought up Kaye's share).

Quote from: RPGPundit;1031561Do you mean only in the sense that Gygax's various problems of ownership would not have happened?

Or do you mean something more than that?

Well, partly, Don had a more stable financial situation than Gary.  Also, Don loved games and gaming, but had no great urge that I saw to be a game writer.  But he DID have a good strong common sense.  So I think he could have been a firm hand on the helm in the early years while Gary was allowed to concentrate on creativity.

He was also the only person I ever saw tell Gary he was full of shit and have it stick.  Gary had good ideas, but he could also be headstrong.  Don was headstronger.

Rob is apparently retiring from RPGs due to insufficient demand.

That's the only place I even heard of the project.  As I said in that thread, it's not a question of demand, it's a question of marketing.

Here's the final part, where Rob talks about Politics in gaming, about who his favorite OSR designers are, and whether he allows gender-fluid elves in his campaign!

Good answer on the gender-fluid question. ;)

They were all good answers, but that last question I added in at the last second for fun.
