Clearly Venger must have threatened to cast a spell to make his dick fall off if he didn't sell him the company, so we have no right to call him a hypocritical prick.

At first I thought you must have been mistaken, because he just sold his Risus properties to someone I didn't think was a chud, and overall he seemed a reasonable guy. But nope, not only did he do this, he tweeted this out the most obnoxious way possible. https://twitter.com/SJohnRoss/status/1404770841628381185  Venger's gloating, of course.  Don't trust anyone in the industry over 30, I guess.

Who are Hank and Jim? Also, what's to sell with Risus? It's a 6-page microgame with a 64-page supplement.

90s Cringe Rock posted:I support the right of creators to sell off their IPs but Jesus loving christ S John Ross, venger? About 5-6 years ago, Paul Czege (creator of My Life With Master, other games, general Forge darling) ran the Threeforged Design Challenge on G+. The idea was that you had a week (I think? Maybe a month?) to write 'some of an RPG' -- a setting, a mechanic, a bunch of disconnected parts, whatever -- and then these were anonymised and randomised and handed out to other people who had a week to build on whatever they got, and then those were randomised and handed out to third people who had to finish things off as best they could. It was a great idea, good fun to participate in, and attracted about 60-odd designers including Vincent Baker, Mina McJanda (before she got big), me, assorted other folk -- and S John Ross. Anyway, come the second round S John gets his thing. He posts that it sucks, that he's going to have to do a huge amount of work to redeem it, and that it's "not a roleplaying game". Somebody asks him in the comments what he means by that, how he defines an RPG, and his response was (direct quote): "Duh. Have someone smarter than you read my FAQ to you." And I thought 'well, he's a jackass' and kind of wrote him off in my head. Anyway, fast forward to the end of the thing. Turns out S John had bailed on both his second and third round contributions, torpedoing the work of the three other people involved, and then proceeded to write a blog post about how doing this was Good, Actually. (I didn't read it so I have no idea what his justification was.) Oh, and then when people were reading and judging/talking about the final games he got lovely about 'none of these are real RPGs' again. Anyway, that's my S John Ross story. Man's a self-absorbed tool and has been for a long time.

Nearly a week old but didn't see it posted. Daniel Fox of the Zweihander RPG bragging about taking down a notable tabletop piracy site and talking about informed consumer purchases: https://twitter.com/ZweihanderRPG/status/1405899337255821316 Daniel Fox posted:Most publishers offer free PDF previews on DriveThruRPG, typically the first 25-50 pages of the book. Maybe it's the PDF previews I check out, but you're lucky to get more than a dozen pages in most sourcebooks.
