SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

I just left r/OSR after joining it a week ago. Is OSR community like this everywhere?

Quote from: GameDaddy;1144300Not Modiphus, although I do find it noteworthy that they have licenses to publish RPG and tabletop games for many American games including Star Trek, Fallout, and the Elder Scrolls from Bethesda studios, John Carter, Conan, and Thunderbirds, so it certainly appears they have a strategy in place to attempt to dominate the U.S. RPG Markets in creating a monopoly of IPs.

As for the problems with Raphael over on the OD&D74 would love to provide some examples, however my account remains banned over there by him with the support of Finarvyn, so am unable to show you the direct messages with threats sent to me by Raphael. I'd be surprised if my PMs were still there though, considering all the old school threads and messages that were eliminated, deleted, or otherwise moved by the admins over at 0D&D74 Proboards.

Wow, so he was pming you threats? High quality mod behavior there.

S'mon

Quote from: amacris;1144247They're substantially more than 8 to 20 people. I lost 100+ customers alone out of a customer base of 500 over woke-related issues. 20%.  And it's not like a game called "Adventurer Conqueror King" with a scantily-clad woman on the cover is going out of its way to attract the woke in the first place.

You gained at least one. I heard about your product due to the controversy. Same for Zak.

Over the last several weeks I bought (roughly one a week, smuggled in under the wife's nose.)

Vornheim City System
Lion and Dragon softback
Star Adventurer Softback
DCC Softback
ACKS Hardback

Specifically because it's refreshing not to be told I'm a piece of shit by people who are supposedly trying to sell me stuff.

My only disappointment is it's going to be hard to get my group to change systems.
Your Forgotten Realms was my first The Last Jedi.

If the party is gonna die, they want to be riding and blasting/hacking away at a separate one of Tiamat's heads as she plummets towards earth with broken wings while Solars and Planars sing.

Yeah I intentionally purchased a copy of that expansion to ACKS, and then the core book itself, after being told on Reddit about how the author was an insufferably horrible person for working in association with that Milo guy.

I just got my copies of ACKs and The Player's Companion in the mail. I'm enjoying reading through the ACKs core book.

I think you need to actually find out what the word monopoly means and, while you're at it, type Thunderbirds into Google... Check where it was made. Check the nationality of it's creators. It will take you all of 5 seconds.

It's a big, beautiful brick, with the best binding I've blundered by.

Mind you, I've been burned by several of the GURPS print runs.
