Lurks With Wolves posted:The human being tranny avatar was unfunny bullshit and the person who bought it is a piece of homophobic garbage for thinking it was funny enough to spend ten dollars on. On the other hand, the person who ran a blog called How Not To Run A Game Business completely botching an RPG Kickstarter is actually kind of funny. Not funny enough to buy yet another avatar about it, if you ask me, but at least it's not a complete travesty like that last one was. I see what you did there.

There are like a lot of travestis near where I live, alongside regular prostitutes. Living at a tourist area with a lot of gringos entails this!

Beware the Ides of March, but not the ones of February or April, or perhaps even June. I was banned not from April, February, or even June, but from March. Indeed, that is March only, not February or April, or even June, but only March.

Alien Rope Burn posted:Some of the Gamer XP fluff pieces got me cringing a bit - I don't need Crusader Kings II fanfic - but they do seem to be covering some uncovered stuff. The LARP article is nice to see, for example. I'd like to see more about local projects and groups like that, it's interesting. Hey, this site's mine. Yeah, we're still kind of feeling out niches and figuring out what people are after. Those fluff pieces are by no means gonna be everybody's cup of tea, but they're not our primary focus by any stretch of the imagination and there's plenty of room for everybody. Happy for any feedback/suggestions I can get, we've been going about, eh, three weeks so far?

The one review that I read (Hearthstone) was lackluster, but I figure that's more of a "get into the swing of things" problem than a real one. Otherwise, the content's pretty interesting, and I'm excited to see where it goes (and to see that there's a site like this at all!)

Man, that "Best RPG" selection is pretty something. Shadowrun 5E has atrocious editing all over the place, Numenera is basically a D&D reskin with a patina of future-fantasy, and Mummy is, like a lot of White Wolf games, a few bits of brilliance mixed in with a bunch of wonky mechanics and questionable decisions. I know 13th Age gets a lot of love but personally I find it kind of uninspiring, so congrats to Fred Hicks for winning my vote by default I guess

It was kind of a dull year for new releases, wasn't it? I'm not shocked that Numenera is there simply because it's the latest gasp of d20.
