There's a note I agree with at the end of that Twitter thread where he says that the likely reasoning behind this game is that young people don't play Monopoly any more because we have Good Board Games now, so the Monopoly people are just going all in on the awful Boomer demographic. Sounds about right?

Zereth posted:... Pardon? Spire has a weird underground place that's essentially Train Hell where really spooky poo poo happens and Train Wizards can invoke the powers of the Hell Train, the greatest being summoning the Hell Train to loving kill you by running you over, coincidentally running over everything else around you and loving up the entire surroundings something fierce. IIRC the place also becomes partly Train Hell. You can even stash things in Train Hell retroactively for your present self because time is weird there. The Spire owns.

There’s an order of dark elf historians using the twisted remains of a planned train network that got too hosed up by the eldritch Heart of Spire and budget cuts as a library.

If anyone knows Rick Loomis, one of the founders of Flying Buffalo Games, he has unfortunately been diagnosed with cancer. Because it's America there is now a GoFundMe to help cover the life-destroying expenses that go along with cancer therapy even for the well insured. He's done some interesting stuff and his company still has play by mail and play by email games going, probably one of the last companies to do so. Flying Buffalo also published one of the first Not-DnD RPGs, Tunnels and Trolls.

When your $1 patreon tier ends with a “wink wink I definitely don’t have official Wizards books in there, sure would be weird if I did,” well, I don’t really know how you get away with it. This guy is going to get burned on every front.

  These are some cool fantasy artworks.  Oh, OK. quote:Despite being one of the first elements to make up my new world, I dragged my feet in creating this race, partially because I struggled to find the right artwork (I still intend to commission something specific in the future), but mostly because I had developed so deep a connection to the Aeramanu as a people, that stepping back to Isolate the mechanics of the race became a struggle. Everything this guy has done is probably stolen.

Ever since first playing ttrpgs I've found both myself and a lot of who I play with focus in on "slice of life" and more day to day minutae and RP. It makes it hard to understand the appeal of old school low rp, high character turnover campaigns outside of one shots and the like.

Yeah, "I used something to make something else and credited them" isn't how fair use works. I'm not a copyright lawyer, but I watch enough videos by a copyright lawyer (your favorite copyright lawyer Leonard French) to highly suspect this guy wouldn't win a court case.

it is, however, how derivative works work. Those are a different category of use, but in my experience most people who try it fail to meet the legal bar. https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ14.pdf quote:Right to Prepare Derivative Works This being the bar they never clear.

There are definitely valid critiques of cancel culture but they are not coming from the guy who got booted from Honest Trailers for raping a fan.quote:My name is Andy Signore, and I am a successful content creator responsible for such popular brands as ScreenJunkies, Honest Trailers, Man At Arms and more...
