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.

Fucking Score!!!

You sir, hold a piece of gaming history in your hands.

This is the book that made Kevin Siembieda sue a budding WotC nearly out of existence.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

It's a crime against gaming that TPO has never been republished.  Best system for playing deities in any system, hands down, no contest, Royce Gracy levels of better than everyone else.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

Not bad at all!  I trimmed back drastically on my old GURPS collection, as part of a massive selloff to Noble Knight Games, but that's definitely enough to be going on with.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

And I guess a case could be made that it is the book that is responsible for 3e getting the OGL and d20 License.
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.

Harkwood alone makes this worth it.

I read the subject title for this thread and thought maybe some religious group had made a claim about the 7th score D&D characters had (I had a pamphlet that talked about "Rapist" as a character class...).

A nice education blog.
