I don't believe that you need your TTRPG books edited by sensitivity readers. I don't believe your emotions need to be coddled. I have faith in you as an adult. Dark Sun has fallen. ShadowSun rises. I step forward. kickstarter.com/projects/chu…

Corporations are collections of people. If you change the people, it is no longer the same thing. The BioWare that was good has already been gone for a while. You can’t replace the excellent people and expect continued excellence. This isn’t hard to understand.

Classic RPG isn't dead. The people who actually play will come out of the woodwork for a funding project promoting the more classic style. I often joke about how the art is a signifier of new or old. Today I examined two projects that are kind of the same thing, but you'd be hard pressed to see this as the interior art is just so different. Here is a 5e reboot of a loved classic. backerkit.com/c/projects/str… And here is a more OSR style version. kickstarter.com/projects/chu… (some might debate whether Shadowdark is true OSR - I think it is fully adjacent and have no issues with it) Lots of choices and no need to argue for this or that. I think Classic RPG as play preference is doing just fine. I am not by any means an expert on Dark Sun - curious how those are feel about it.

Late Pledges for gifts are still available. Chubby Funster is keeping the dark and scary in RPGs, and is my kind of gamer.

Fun fact: This is why they kill Aussies back home where we hunt these guys with dogs and knives only. See those tusks or rippers as they are called? People get excited about the real big ones and think the bigger they are the worse the boar. Wrong. They are all equally deadly due to the extreme upward force boars can generate. Pigs eat by rooting up the ground with their snouts. They dig. So their necks are extremely thick and powerful and their shoulders are like armor plate when they charge you. Then because they are low and you are high they get under your legs and rip upward into your thighs and try to cut your femoral artery. You bleed out in minutes and they only need rippers half an inch long to do it due to the penetration of their necks. In the wild pigs are predatory and hunt in big mobs for meat as well as vegetation. Don’t ever think they won’t put you on the menu if you screw up. They will. Good talk.

Just had to set a YT video to private because people don’t have capacity for nuance. Reacting to video based on shit they made up in their head rather than actual points in video

This is unreal to read now: dndbeyond.com/posts/1375-lev… Every word. Every illustration. Every map. Multiple outside cultural consultants. Written reports to leadership. Changes reviewed and approved. New material reviewed again. Even previously published material gets another inclusion review when reprinted. It reads like an ideological compliance system for a fantasy game.

The Sceach (Hawthorn Tree) is deeply tied to Irish mythology as a portal to the Otherworld, serving as the meeting place for the Aos Sí (fairy folk). Loneland trees, especially near prehistoric earthworks, are fiercely protected. Irish folk tradition forbids cutting, breaking, or bringing their blossoms indoors, warning that disturbing a fairy tree brings severe misfortune, illness, or ruin. This belief remains so potent that modern roads are still rerouted to avoid them.

Remember: Game designers in the 80s and 90s were computer science majors who loved literature, classic fantasy and AD&D. There is a very obvious reason the AAA market had been declining for so long. I don't need to spell it out.

Is my future going to be an infinite stream of GUI interactions where the thing I am trying to click on changes in the milliseconds before I click to something I don’t want to click on? Is making this happen the actual goal of software developers?
