I don't get the point of trying to play a passive-aggressive game up until I get annoyed enough to say a swear word or something else vaguely probeable for the mods. It doesn't come off as a clever ruse, Kai, it just makes you look like a loving manchild. My dude, I promise, I'll just stop shitposting. I genuinely don't want to upset people to the point where they're fuming about me long after they turn off the computer, and that somehow seems to have become the case. I promise to reign it in, partially out of genuine desire for contrition and partially because I'm pretty sure at this rate someone here will eventually get angry enough about this to try to stab me IRL.

All of you are being buttheads from different angles, to be honest. In somewhat more on-topic discussion... RPGSports is still a thing, shockingly. Not sure whether they improved on it or people on Twitch will just watch anything. https://twitter.com/RPGSportsTV/status/1069244902683394049

It's not in any way a meaningful financial investment, no matter how people try to spin it, it's not something that provokes an emotional investment either. Why the hell do you care this much? It's a loving internet forum. It's not a lifestyle choice, or a political party, or a religion. I'm not sure why you're so zealous in protecting its good name, it's still just a website. Holy poo poo man, could you imagine being this determined to protect the sacred honor of Fark? I don't hate SA, really. It's less interesting to me, sure, but man, it's like this is also the only positive thing going in some people's lives and I don't understand this degree of emotional investment.

One of the most frustrating issues with forums is that even setting someone to ignore still requires a degree of extra scrolling, especially when the idiot will post quotably idiotic screeds and then pretend anyone who replies to say they find them painfully tiresome is "obsessed" or "carelording" about someone who is being a forum metaphorical incontinent hippo in a narrow hallway.

Still is, actually. I know people who organize tournaments every GenCon. Naturally, RPGSports is trying to shoehorn MOBA/MMO arena type direct PvP into D&D rules, instead of going with a tried-and-true method of competitive D&D.

Well, the Megaverse Gigathread has fallen into the archives, so I figure this can go here: 20 Years of the Rifter! Woo! Christmas celebration! Black Friday sale went really well! PS After the next couple issues the Rifter will go on a 2+ year hiatus. Was the Rifter the only thing they've made for the past two decades that actually hit deadlines? I still expect Palladium to limp along until Kevin finally sells his empty warehouse on eBay.

More or less, though even it fell into some lateness since I wrote that first page of the Gigathread (one issue was double-sized on account of it, as it "encompassed" two issues). But Wayne Smith, the editor, is the most professional guy at Palladium from every account I've heard, and kept that thing running on time in defiance of Palladium's (lack of) standards.

I still expect Palladium to limp along until Kevin finally sells his empty warehouse on eBay. I find it hard to get a handle on just how large their customer base is, given that Palladium-inspired gaming almost seems to be its own parallel scene of people who are really into Palladium poo poo, but I can't imagine it's much bigger than, say, Chaosium's fanbase (particularly given how recent debacles may have driven customers away). And one of the first things the new regime at Chaosium did was to shift away from having their own warehouse to a more distributed fulfillment system. Plus I can't believe their more niche supplements and stuff sell well enough to make it worth making large print runs of them.

It's also not an empty warehouse because, IIRC, Kevin believes firmly in maintaining a physical stock of every book.

Warthur posted:Which I guess made sense in the boom years, but unless the Palladium subculture is way larger and much more loyal than I think it is I can't believe it's worth keeping every single drat book in stock at all times. Core books, sure, obviously, but Rifts Worldbook 231: I Guess This Dumb Bullshit Also Exists? Perfect PoD fodder. I think Kevin feels it makes him more authentic, even if the open house visits to the warehouse all give off the vibe of being somewhat bleak affairs.
