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.

Toadies are bad for the industry.

The one time I wrote something I got a reasonable cheque. Unfortunately, the $/£ conversion rate (and the fee my bank charged to cash it) made it into a very unreasonable cheque ;)
Formerly of UK Role Players. I still run Modus Operandi (espionage RPGs) and DnD5e.info (the 5th Edition SRD) and also blog (sometimes) at dave.mcalister.org.uk.

Quote from: HinterWeltWow. You can have toadies. Wow. The closest I get is Mike and he has told me I am an ass to most people.

Nope, you are not an ass to most people, just to people you don't like. Luckly, besides that guy in the pickup on the way back from Gencon and a couple of people locally I don't know any people you dislike personally.:D

As far as toadies go.

I'm no toadie. I'm perfectly willing to tell someone their game sucks even if I liked everything else they publish. As far as Bill goes, we are friends and gamed together for a while there.I don't think you can count friends as toadies. Sure, I might be a bit biased towards his games but that is why I quit reviewing them.

Did not mean to imply you were Mike. You are just constructive criticism kind of guy and like my games. You were never shy about telling me if something didn't work. I just can't think of any "toadies" and felt left out. ;)

More seriously, I imagine there are people who give noting but positive feedback but I find that is the exception. If you listen to only the people praising OR only the people criticizing you and take either to heart you will have problems.

Yeah, to be honest i don't know anyone I would call a toadie, for any publisher. Maybe sone the WW or D&D fans, but not to many.

I guess maybe toadies would be good for publishers who would otherwise only get negative feedback. It's probly nice to know some people like your stuff.

I propose a slogan: "Lick Toadies Now!"

That should make our position unambiguously clear. :D
