Quote from: Snowman0147;1120720Don't bring up Betrayal at House on the Hill.  The core is pretty good and I am a proud owner of that.  The expansion can burn in hell as it got Antia and I think Zoey Quinn to involve in that.  From what I heard the expansion is a woke fest.

Really? I'll have a glance at it as I have it but havent had a chance to play yet.

Yeah they got involved in that project from what I had been told and what reviews I read.  The core game is fine and perfectly good.  Hell you can make up your own stuff if you add a dice roll to it so that is a good way to avoid the expansion.

I guess you can say a betrayal happened in the house at the betrayal at house on the hill?

True, but a good way to expand the game without the expansion is to grab one of the dice when the haunting happens make a roll.  Blank you follow the original table, one you follow the new table that you made up, and two you follow the other table you made up.  Each table should have 50 events so going by this route we can easily generate 100 more events easily.  If you want to go crazy get a normal d6 and treat the original table as 1 and any number higher than that is expansion table.  There I saved you all money.  I gave you a lot of work as some one has to make the events, but still that saved you money.

Oh this is good. I totally missed that this was a WOTC product and for some reason thought it was a FFG one.

Ok. Had a look at it as it was still out rather than packed away. Bemusingly sitting with 5e D&D Essentials. :rolleyes:

Anita and Zoe are indeed credited in there. But so are like 38 other people. Seems like some sort of contest or big collab participation of somesort?

Each participant is credited for one or more haunts and since they are credited with the individual haunt suggests again this was some sort of contest or collab. These adventures seem to be partially in the same vein as Blood Brothers for CoC. Not exactly serious forays or offbeat approaches.

Zoe contributed a thinly veiled anti-Trump haunt. Anita's is co-authored with someone else on two (and one shes not even named) and surprisingly neither has not a hint of her usual poison. They are not exactly coherent. But are not an anti-man agenda platform.

Yeah maybe we should get back on topic.

Which is why I had not touch the expansion.

I am not surprise by that at all.

Now that is a actual nice surprise.  Didn't think Anita could actually do that since hating on men is the whole bases of her career.

Nah shes a con woman puppet. I doubt she really believes what she parrots. After macintosh left her team shes left without a prompter and doesn't do much anymore.

I know she is fucking con artist.  So what happen?  Did Macintosh's daddy remove his belt and taught his son a lesson?  Why did he leave the team?

1: what topic? :rolleyes:

2: The fact WOTC didn't tout ether of these two grifters involvement says that they were either unaware at the time. Which is possible. Or whatever was submitted didnt set off any warning bells. Who knows.

I don't fucking know. Id try to imagine what goes on in that mans mind but my soul would become a black pit and Id start a doomsday cult.

Just saw this on Reddit. Wonder what's going to happen to the Star Wars RPG license?

My bet? With the license agreements as convoluted as they are (Fantasy Flight could never make PDF versions since they would have crossed into the territory of the videogames licensing, IIRC), as long as FFG is still making x-wing and other SW products, they'll have to hold onto the rpg rights too, even if they're not printing anything new ( unless something lets them sublet it out to another publisher). I'd imagine l5r is in a similar state as last ng as they keep making a card game.

I did get notice that they are now shipping their last announced Star Wars book. I'm getting it to complete my set. No announcement of anything beyond that.

Edit: Actually, they have confirmed that they are ending rpg production once the products already in production are out. So for Star Wars, this is the last book.

So they are ending all RPG production. That is interesting indeed.

At a personal guess they may have finally realized the gimics werent selling.

Or their printing agreements have changed enough to make RPGs no longer profitable. FFG functions through some great manufacturer deals they have. I suspect that is why they get more into RPGs for a while. They secured a good printer that made it viable.

Based on the shipping times from the printer to their warehouse I'd say they use China and between the tariffs now in place, the recent delays with US Customs for all things China, and the corona virus playing havoc over there I'd say they just felt it was too much to continue to print there and they're too lazy to look else where from something as low on their list as RPG material.

Which is sad because they own L5R now and I don't see them letting anyone else touch it until they squeezed everything they can for the card game.
