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.

A fun solo game system and my kid loved the mobile version done by MetaArcade (seemingly dead now unfortunately).

At least with the new ownership hoping one will be able to get a print copy again as it's always sold out.  I'll reserve judgment till I see what they do with it.

There were some doubts about the previous owner and it's probably for the best.  I'm not really familiar with Rebellion but if they'll let the fans create stuff it's a step in the right direction.
Yes, after Rick Loomis died Websphere Inc. acquired Flying Buffalo.
They are a company that engages primarily in the buying and selling of companies.
I don't think they had any interest at all in developing anything.

I don't think renaming a spell called "Yessa Massa" makes anyone overly woke or whatever. I also don't think it means there was hate or racism behind it. It just isn't funny, or relevant, in a fantasy world.
He probably heard decades of shit over that stupid spell name and didn't want it to start up again with the reissue.

Found this article on Yassa Massa spell:
Trollish History - From Yassa Massa! to Spirit Mastery - The Evolution of a T&T Spell Over the Editions
I might have changed it to "Make a Slave" or "Enthrall critter", instead of "Spirit Mastery" which is devoid of any humor.

T&T was done a few years back when St. Andre decided to retroactively rename some spells from 40 years ago because someone might "get offended". I remember this specifically because some fucktard troll (LOL) from this very board tried to stir shit when I asked about it in the comments of the drivethrurpg page. They posted a bunch of crap insinuating stuff about me simply because I asked a direct question. Reported me to the admins, etc.

Name redacted now, obviously, because these Marxist shills cannot stand it when someone doesn't put up with their bullshit. I DIGRESS, but I still think T&T was over with. I own all print editions from 4th to the Deluxe, and have every PDF ever released for the game, but at this point it's done. Much like D&D is done due to WotC being retards, T&T is in the same boat at this point. It's a fun, easy, whimsical game, now tainted by pure horseshit "modern sensibility" and that sucks ass.

Yeah, man, I reported you...

Yo, Brad, it's not really convincing when you try to act like you're not bothered, but you're tearfully mashing the report butan like a battered wife trying to summon the police after a domestic violence incident.



Allow me to further "doxx" Brad. Here is a picture of him posting his totes laid back and not at all bothered replies on drivethrurpg:



LMAO you sorry, lying, little bitch.
