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.

Steve J., what a maroon.  He should be joining the class action against Actblue for how they were parties to massive fraud and  misuse of the funds Steve and other 'gamers' gave them.  What a dip

It seems like an opportunity really.  Someone should step up and produce high end board game components in the United States.

Quote from: JanDevries on April 04, 2025, 03:38:09 PMThat link says the price for a smyth-sewn, 48 page hardback is $268.50.

Edit: and that's digest sized.

That's for one.  There is a setup cost.  If you increase quantity to 100, the price goes to $9.53 per book.  At 1000, it's $7.28.  Not cheap, but not crazy expensive.

That's the idea, innit?
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Quote from: blackstone on April 04, 2025, 10:39:23 AMand it's only in Florida.
So many terrible things get dismissed for being "only in Florida" until they spread...

Goggle "Florida man" and hope to God it doesn't.
I live and work in central Florida. I don't need to Google it when I can see it every day. OTOH, the Florida Man stories only seem so ridiculous because Florida allows stories to come out without any credible evidence. Stricter laws elsewhere generally require more stringent reporting, so the Florida Man is really no more common (OK, maybe a little more common...) than idiots elsewhere, they just get more exposure.

Probably, there's all kinds of wild speculation as to how things will go and where they are going.  It's hard to say what the long term effects will be or even how long term the tarrifs will be.   A new stateside producer may have to buy the equipment from China.  Who wants to spend millions building a factory if things are back to normal in a week.
