When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.

I'm pretty sure I see a knockoff copy of Quelf in that game store. Poor bastards, they can't even escape that poo poo in Japan. :barf:

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
King of Tokyo is pretty legit, though.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
This Christmas I got a physical copy of the FATE Accelerated rules for me to flip through as a stocking-suffer and I'm going to do a pdf trade with a friend for Double Cross the minute she finally decides if she wants Cold City/Hot War or Technoir

I also got myself a physical copy of Tenra Bansho Zero for all of my anime needs so it's been a good holiday

This might go without saying, but read all the rules for GMing and creating/running scenarios. TBZ lives and dies by how the GM sets things up, IMO. It's very different from most trpgs in how this goes.

It's 2016! Everyone should be clear on what we're doing to further our nefarious goon agenda. May the Father of Understanding guide us as we bring order to this hobby.

Wait, no, that's the bad guys from Assassin's Creed. Our agenda is still just anime and storygames, right?

Well, also high-mindedly stating that one can be a fan of problematic media while simultaneously projecting the worst attributes we can on the people who dare to enjoy that media.

But hey, anime and storygames too!!!

Dammit, I was working on the assumption that Years long grognard LP's and doing horrible things to the Star Wars universe were the master plan!

To be clear, my post was a joke. There is no goon agenda because that would mean goons agreeing on something. Did I miss something? It's New Years and I'm tired, I'd like to make sure no one was actually offended by comparing us to Templars.

I've never met a person who cared if something was or was not "in the realm of children" and was not also a joyless sack of poo poo, so I would say that our choice of hobby has somewhere between zero and fuckall to do with what kind of people we are.

But he's right!
Are there any good articles about the state of the TG industry, especially in the wake of the Asmodee stuff? I'd be interested in seeing some in-depth coverage on how we are just waiting for the middleman resellers ( CoolStuffInc/Miniature Market/etc. ) to finish gutting their piece of the pie and how a major stumble from M:tG is all that it's gonna take for the industry to devour itself whole.

Asmodee is pulling a re-org on their distro chain to cut out online-only retailers since they are pretty much poison to the industry.

After actually reading that article, it appears that they aren't cutting anyone out. They're just charging online stores more so that your FLGS didn't lose business due to Amazon selling a board game at a 20% discount.

Yeah, their position sounds pretty reasonable, actually. Brick and mortar gets a bigger discount for providing more services to the hobby than online retailers. I was ready with my torch and pitchfork but now I'm just not feeling the lynch.
