I remember hearing that somewhere and it’s sucks because that is one of the actual cool concepts in all the lore they ever made. Anyone whose idea of a good time involves drinking and fighting sounds like a fungi to me

MeinPanzer posted:This is what I was interested in discussing with posting this. Obviously he's at fault for violating an embargo and breaking an NDA, and GW terminating his contract is the logical legal consequence of that. But corporations do have discretion in how they enforce those kinds of contracts, and I found it surprising that someone loving up and posting something that they quickly took down again when notified would be cut off so abruptly. There was obviously no malice involved, since he posted it to his IG and didn't try to hide what he did. Also note that he broke NDA twice, by outsourcing the painting of models he was supposed to keep under wraps and posting pics. One or the other they might have let him slide on, but both? No way, he's a liability.

Terrible Opinions posted:Is that the Ernie one or a different TSR? That's Ernie with Justin LaNasa. I think they've recognized Ernie has become a bit of a lightning rod so they've scrubbed his name from their website, but Justin's is there, and you can find the association with not much effort.

The entire “company” consists of the two of them and one other person, then whatever young people they’re currently scamming/indoctrinating/living with. Like, stories are still coming out about them as of 24 hours ago. One that really stood out was a deaf person they scammed into working for them found out later that a character in the campaign they worked on was deaf and not once did J&S ask the deaf person they had working for consulting the representation. They also didn’t pay or credit them for their work, but you could assume that. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Jun 27, 2022 |

The thing that kills me, that utterly kills me about this creep, on a shallower level than all of his toxic bullshit, is that he looks like a conservative parody of a leftist. Like, this is who Ben Shapiro thinks he's going to war with

Maybe instead of Magic cards based on corporate icons like the Coca-Cola polar bears (broken in standard for costing a crisp refreshing Coke-Zero mana) and the cartoon guy from the 90s Home Depot in-store advertising, maybe we'll see Bakunin and Kropotkin legend cards

"Bend the knee" is the most boomer chud child phrase. They're firmly attached to the idea that showing something respect is to be inherently submissive to it. Which explains a lot of attitudes about the flag but not much else.

Over at RPGnet, Bruce Baugh took a look at one of Apotheosis's products and it's even funnier than you thought it would be.quote:I got curious and asked a friend who pledged for the Red Opera kickstarter if I could take a look at their copy. I nearly did - I love warlocks and I love gothic-y environments, but ended up not. Turns out I'm glad. The adventure is fascinating reading in light of all this threads stuff: the PCs spend the whole thing escorting and/or otherwise backing up two NPCS who are Very Very Much like Jamison and Sateen. The Sateen stand-in in particular gets to do all the really cool stuff. It read like the kind of thing While Wolf developers were already telling me not to do in the late '90s.

I'm sure taking a brave stand publishing "extreme content" out of spite will work out super well for the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum. Can't wait to see what-- [receives breaking news over earpiece] Oh, ohh it turns out they haven't actually published anything at all. And their museum is like 6 display cases holding someone's battered gaming collection. Are we sure this isn't a money laundering front?
