Canine Conspiracy posted:Out of a fear of arbitrarily locked doors and the desire to minimize danger and maximize profits, I have decided to stay home from this whole dungeon thing and start a small business. Here is a list of sensible and safe investments I am making with my starting gold, and here is a wishlist of magical items I'm interested in buying when my midlife crisis hits. What do I roll to file for an EIN? Seriously this discussion keeps giving me flashbacks to an old (grogs.txt?) discussion about a group who's DM was such a stick in the mud about realism that adventuring wasn't a thing and all of the underworld and mercenary needs were already filled and jealously guarded by NPC that the only thing the group was really able to do was start a mustard seed trading company.

Halloween Jack posted:Gear porn never really fits into Star Wars no matter how often they do it. A blaster is a blaster, Jedi wear robes, and none of the many lightsaber variants have improved the concept of a lightsaber. OTOH there's a surprising amount of wordcount in the 1979 Han Solo books dedicated to the various modifications he made to his pistol.

NGDBSS posted:It looks like a cross between the squattest, boxiest vehicles of the Imperium and a megachurch. Rather fitting for an entire school of game design that refuses to change or move on. looks like they photoshopped some cathedral bits on a screenshot of Homeworld 2.

Seriously not sure about the panther/naked bear or the giant but the horned serpent is incredibly weird considering that I remember it being considered a metaphor for white people. Speaking of the book purports to be about warfare before europeans ever touched the continent and lo and behold there are two white guys with muskets.

Ahh. The culture where when they introduced legal surnames everyone wanted to give themselves one that tied them to Temujin are certainly ashamed of their past.

Iirc the last straw was when someone got doxxed. It didn't help that the discourse mainly went from "let's mock this persons' weird piss whizzard fan supplement" to "oh god everyone in this industry is a horrible person."

Ettin posted:That happened to one of the grognards.txt threads but not the last one. IIRC someone posted a link to the criminal record of some game dev dipshit and Winson disappeared the thread from the public forum. Oh right. The thread disappeared and then a new one popped up with stringent posting rules.

I remember seeing those Robotech games last year at PAX Unplugged. I wasn't able to try them but there was a 2ft tall cardboard battle-mode Macross game piece that looked rad as hell.

potatocubed posted:The main thing I recall from Burning Empires is that if you take the soldier lifepath you get the mandatory trait "FUGAZI". I don't know what that means. It's never explained in the book. Even Googling for it doesn't clear it up for me. My first assumption was that it means you know how to contact juggle.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Huh, really? One of my usual players, while admitting it's a pretty simple class, seems to have fun with it. But they're really into the tactical element of the game, and I can certainly see the appeal in coming out of nowhere, doing a fuckton of damage to the most dangerous enemy on the board and slipping away. Plus, you can play a ninja and throw poisoned shurikens everywhere. The oldsassin was a class that had some fun powers, flavor, and concepts but was married to using shrouds, one of the worst class mechanics in the game.

IIRC Zeon was pretty much always the Axis in space. Though I remember some readings about the original 0079 incarnation being intended to be more of an Imperial Japan thing than strictly a Germany thing. 08th MST and 0080 were where the Nazis in Space thing became more or less 1 for 1 and maaaaybe got a little fetishistic. Unicorn also had a lot of Zeon apologia but that was more about the Earth Federation being in the wrong since its founding.

Nuns with Guns posted:Didn't they intially make Oerth by taking a map of Earth and flipping it upside down, with some of the in-univese cities replacing Chicago and Milwaukee? Wikipedia posted:Castle Greyhawk was the most famous dungeon in Oerth, the home campaign world of Gary Gygax.[2]:25 Players in the earliest days of this campaign mostly stayed within Castle Greyhawk's dungeons, but Gygax envisioned the rest of his world as a sort of parallel Earth, and the original Oerth (pronounced "Oith", as with a Brooklyn accent) looked much like the real-world Earth but filled with imaginary cities and countries.[2]:24 Several years later, when TSR produced the original World of Greyhawk folio (1980), Gygax was asked to produce a map of the world and decided to create something new which still featured many of the locales from his original world of Oerth but with all-new geography.[2]:24 Gygax also connected Dave Arneson's Blackmoor to his world by including a country by that name in Oerth.[2]:388 In his later novel Dance of Demons (1988), Gygax destroyed Greyhawk's Oerth and replaced it with a new fantasy world of Yarth.[2]:239 Yarth.

So Magic the Gathering had an ad during the game awards and oh god nobody bothered to actually read what they were slapping "MAGIC CHAMPION!!!!" on to. https://twitter.com/blockwonkel/status/1070894339210002433 https://twitter.com/alain_invasion/status/1070915226483089408

days of trawling through deviant art/elfwood/what have you and occasionally screaming "WHY IS EVERYTHING SO loving HORNY????" The other side of the coin being looking through actor headshot sites for modern-day stuff and feeling like an utter creep for doing so.
