It doesn't actually say that unless you quint at it fairly hard though.  It just says, "Choose your one and only lover".  The playbook specific moves in Night Witches are full of vague shit like that.  Name the senior officer that has taken an interest in your career.  I guess that's a thing now.

Well, that just ruled out HappyDerp.  His argument basically involves completely ignoring the entire history of WotC.  Predictions based on past behavior are "narratives" to this buffoon.

Imagine that your girlfriend had cheated on you six or seven times.  She tells you she's going out to a bar with friends and doesn't come home that night.  HappyDerp would be telling you that there was no reason to be suspicious.  Any apprehension over her behavior is just you trying to justify a "narrative." 

Really, you shouldn't even dignify his statements with a response, because he's just gaslighting everyone.  He's accusing others of inventing some kind of narrative when that's exactly what he's doing.  The woke always project...

All you have are these weak personal attacks...and, of course, your delusional all-inclusive culture war narrative. But, if that narrative had any truth to it, how does it feel for you to be losing?

Which would work for an original game, but not a retro clone of AD&D which used 100s of the monsters from ToH in its 2nd edition.

Their "H Cell" is operating out of Kansas City with their area of operations covering from the Appalachians to the Rockies so that is perfect. They are running in the late 1990s so the time frame isn't that far off either.

Holy damn that is a lot of territory to cover.

Also - awesome. Sometimes the mindless chaos of the Outer Gods is fun. And sometimes "no, fuck you, space monster from beyond comprehension" is fun.

Thanks!  Since you use Delta Green, it's set in the 1980s.  Characters are thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail.

NICE

Oh yeah, one of the character's real life is a Federal Bureau of Land Managment Ranger, so the through hiker scenario fits his job too

Quote from: RPGPundit on May 16, 2024, 06:13:26 AMI tried getting in touch with both them and the other drivethru-alternative, to try to see if they wanted to put up my Pundit Files series, and neither of them were able to act really professionally with me, which is pretty bad given that my presence would have been a massive level-up in terms of their profile.

So then I went to Red Room, who did act extremely professionally, and the rest is history. And the sales have been very good.

I am fairly certain I have said this before in another thread, but perhaps not so directly, but I'd be happy to carry your stuff on the RPG marketplace I run. We operate a Canadian site and just launched our UK site.
Here's details for potential publishers.

Now YouTube has no power over you!

Quote from: HappyDaze on May 19, 2024, 05:35:49 PMI'm saying that for many (possibly most) of the people on this board, it must be shit or else their little worlds will implode. That's not me gaslighting, that's the effects of the continuous bombardment of anti-WotC posts on this site (and, yes, elsewhere too).

I can only speak for myself on this point, but the eventual quality of the OneD&D (or whatever they're calling it these days) DMG is largely moot to me. WOTC is one of two companies (along with Disney) where I have chosen to no longer give them any of my money, as a point of principle. In both cases, that is due to repeated acts of cultural vandalism and willful disrespect of the artistic works they hold the license to. Separate to the moral point, I also have no interest in either 5th edition or a prospective new edition of D&D.

Let's imagine the best case scenario, here: a competent, complete and tonally faithful explication of the Greyhawk setting, with the thoroughness and polish of the 3.0 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book. Let's go a step further and say that it's attached to a new edition of D&D so brilliantly designed that it instantly makes obsolete all the prior editions, the OSR, and every other fantasy RPG on the market. I would be surprised, to say the least, but it would only be a step in the right direction. It'd take several years of sensible, high quality products, sold at fair prices, and in the absence of slimy anti-consumer practices to get WOTC off of my personal shit-list.

Is all of that possible? Yes. Would I like to see it happen? Yes, actually. Unlike some other posters, WOTC is a company I used to like. But anyone whose brain is capable of pattern recognition wouldn't be holding their breath waiting for it.
