They all share the same 'style' - extensively positive and praising with profile names bland in branding. All back-of-the-book summaries of a cheap biography. They're of everybody - wikipedia with extra saccharine added.
Completely understandable. It's a unique market. Not quite like comic books, not quite like novel series, not quite like board game expansions. Thank you for the excellent triage work regardless. :-)
The delabeling seems to me to be going in the extreme in the opposite direction. My hypothesis is that a regular schedule of fewer releases per setting may have been more sustainable.
I always ask creators from those days at TSR, "perhaps it wasn't the number of settings as much as it was the number of titles released *per* setting?"
They're all examples of 'parasocial relationships.'. Not the trendy internet obsessive virtual definition as it is used (incorrectly usually) today, but the original 1956 definition, describing empathy with a person (fiction or real) who has no knowledge of it.
@alexandrian.bsky.social Hey Justin, did you ever write an article about the OD&D retreat rules that you mentioned at PAGE? It's come up in conversation since (nice timing).
Add some color-adjustable LED outdoor strip lighting to the curve of the well, and with a remote, you can keep that effect into the evening - and add a little color therapy to boot!
OMG I MISSED AN EPISODE YESTERDAY. How will I make it up? It was the post-convention haze - I had no idea what day of the week it was yesterday.
Talk about rolling a 1 on a Dex check
If they were woke, they'd be called typefaces
There's something to be said for the old days of snail mail and land lines - it allowed for multiple localized dialects of the hobby to develop independently before debuting on a larger scale. Now it's everyone, everywhere everything all at once.
@stannex.bsky.social and 50 Years in the Dungeon did an homage to them on his youtube channel.
I thought maybe you had two planks. Step up on one, place second one down ahead of you. Pick up previous step behind you and move it up ahead. Take a step. Wash, rinse, repeat. Or a rope.
How'd you get out of the basement?
The other winners picked great colors too! I love that someone else changed the lizard into a newt (?). I went for a red salamander. Can't wait to play this with my 5yr old nephew!

Actually, let me take that back. In your effort to support your position, it inadvertently were sexist yourself. It was the sexist assumption that because she was a female writer, with a female lead, that she was labeled a fantasy writer, because "women write fantasy, men write science fiction."
I am not going anywhere with it. Just making a point of fact. My source was the book Dragonwriter, and it's in the first essay by @davidbrin.bsky.social
Anne McCaffrey strongly insisted that she was a science fiction, not fantasy, writer. When she was interviewed and the interviewer called Dragonriders of Pern a fantasy book, she would bristle.
Two things I don't like in actual plays.
1. Using the terminology of visual media in an audio medium. Like "The camera pans up to the sky".
2. GMs who put too much emphasis on the "story" they are telling.
There is no camera. You're not a filmmaker. This isn't your story. Stop it.
Yes, my love for his work has been tempered as I realized the flaws. he was a visionary ahead of his time with that 'artistic temperament'
I've been fallingwater and quite frankly his furniture is the most uncomfortable looking stuff I've ever seen
