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.

Who owns the rights?

I dont know what that is?

I looked this up recently because someone mentioned Trampier, who I didn't know was responsible for a lot of the cool pics in the old Monster Manual. He also drew a comic that appeared in Dragon magazine, called Wormy.

One day in the middle of it all Trampier just quit illustrating, stops caching his checks or returning phone calls, and now seems to be a cab driver.

Isnt it all in the Dragon magazine CD? True, its spread over the magazines. but should all be there.

Tom Wham and an investigator have talked about Trampier now and then. Consensus seems to be that any hope of seeing more is worse than DOA.

Since its apparently a comic strip from Dragon, no wonder I didnt recognize the name. Avoided those like the plague.

Yeah.  Let's see, gaming mags to which I subscribed, beside APAs: Different Worlds, White Dwarf, Space Gamer, Autoduel Quarterly ... nope, no Dragon in there.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

Woo! Yeah! Way to take pride in not reading Dragon! Look at how unmainstream you are!!!

(shrugs)  I play GURPS.  I don't need to work at being "unmainstream," provided that being "unmainstream" was anything particularly worth being for the sake of being it.

Too cool to care if he's being cool or not.

Agreed. Though after a while Dragon stopped being so open and became more and more TSR-centric.

Not as horribly as White Dwarf. But still. Missed the articles for other companies games.

Otherwise it had alot of usefull stuff and some great modules and mini-games.

Yeah, I'll agree that Dragon became less cool as it went along.

For someone whose main complaint against Forgists is that they're pretentious, you sure are acting pretentious.

It was a criticism of people who feel they're too elite to read Dragon.

wonder if mike could be convinced to do a new tfos once the new mekton is in the bag... all the new mekton stuff is on a wordpress blog makes me wonder if they lost control of the RTG domain name or something.
