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.

Quote from: Necrozius;910588That google discussion though... yikes be careful what you say in social media these days: people will take objections in ways that you couldn't possibly imagine. One guy apologized to, like, everyone in the whole world for a comment that was pretty mildly critical.

Assuming it's the response by Gabriel Carlson, I honestly thought he was being sarcastic up until about the halfway mark.

Quote from: jeff37923;910839#1, #3, and #4 work as game covers and evoke some semblance of game play. #2, not so much, unless your definition of game play is a bad acid trip.

My order of preference is #4, #3, and then #1. #2 not at all for the same reason you cite.

#2 is horrible; I look at it and honestly think "What the FUCK am I even looking at?"

As for the art in OD&D...

ME, in 1973:  "Why are you using this guy's art, it's horrible."
GARY GYGAX: "Because he works for $2 a picture."

Actual conversation.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

I like #2, but it definitely looks like, Compost: the Beguiling. Not what I think of when I think of S&W OD&D style play. However, if it was on velvet with UV paints it would totally kick ass during hookah time.

Makes me think of a death metal cover with some hippie chick streaking by with a bubble wand, "Ooh, this needs butterflies!"
Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

More proof that the conventional wisdom that something is worth what you paid for it is false.
