There are a few games like Call of Cthulhu d20 and Orkworld which were specifically designed as very limited lines. Orkworld by John Wick was always supposed to be a single book and d20 Cthulhu was a single book and Keeper's screen (I think). Were they successful from a financial point of...

In the last Star Wars game I was a player in my character was Commander Oberon Gygax, leader of a small, ragtag Rebel group and the other PCs were under his command. Generally speaking, Gygax only issued orders to PCs to do things they were already inclined to do without being overly specific...

"We defend you when you're right and fortunately you're good at complying with the law and your internal policies. <pauses for a moment> But we'd defend you if you were wrong too." -- My employment law attorney.

It's called catfishing not dolphining.

When I played a game powered by the Apocalpyse engine, I took the opportunity to initiate a romance with a sentient dolphin character played by a friend of mine. I'm not in any position to judge other people. Edit: Of course I meant through my character. I've never personally had a chance to...

I can't remember who I heard this from, but they said "Good representation is boring." As long as LGBTQ people aren't only portrayed as villains I don't think it's a problem.

I borrow a page from Roger Ebert who judged movies based on what the creators were trying to accomplish. He was willing to give an action movie a thumbs up if it was a good action movie even if it wasn't exactly Casablanca. Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a game I have absolutely zero interest in...

You're right it can't. And of course in the 80s and 90s I might never be able to find an RPG if my local store didn't carry it or couldn't get it through their distributor. But these days if I know a game exists, old or new, I can generally find a copy online. It's much easier for me to...

In the 80s and into the 90s, the eco system of table top RPGs at game stores seemed a lot more diverse, healthier even. When I walked into Lonestar Comics in 1991, I'd see multiple titles for AD&D, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, GURPS, various Palladium Games, Star Wars, DC Heroes, Marvel Superheros...

I love the sushi truck!

I have no idea what to do with it, so back into the box it goes. I might just try selling it next time the LGS has one of their miniature swap days. I might get $30 out of it.

And here we go. The worst thing about this is the gun doesn’t really fit into the hands very well and you scratch the hell out of the paint putting it on.

While Bowie might have appeared androgynous I don't believe he ever said he was anything other than a man. Even Boy George and Philip Oakey (Human League) whose appearance didn't exactly fit what was expected of men never claimed they were non-binary or anything of that nature. Quite frankly...
