Publishers, if you leave Creation Method “Not Chosen By Publisher,” I’m going to assume you’re using AI. I filter all my purchases to “Handcrafted” on DTRPG.

I look forward to a day when this goes without saying. I’m not trans, but I can’t fathom any reasonable motive for disallowing another human being from living their best life. What’s the harm of supporting someone when it costs you nothing?

Racheline Maltese @racheline.bsky.social · 21d

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

I would LOVE full book treatments of Predation and Gods of the Fall. (So expensive to get a physical book used!)

I hope this leads to more stretch goals with a full Predation book. It’s truly one of the coolest settings I’ve ever read. Let’s do this!

Shanna Germain (she/her) @shannagermain.bsky.social · 27d

This is how we do it.

You asked for more dinosaur sci-fi goodies. Next up: a brand-new adventure written by yours truly.

Featuring our new friend, the stegosaurus.

Let's make it happen, pretty please and dino rawrs!

Pie chart meme that says, "My Next Campaign System," most of the pie chart keys to "Cypher," and it's red, the rest of the pie chart is keyed with "Cypher, but in blue."

I didn’t feel like you were. I agree with most of what you and Rob are saying, just chiming in with how I tend to handle it. And like you I can read a game and see quite a bit of what’s going on, but I’ve been surprised enough in play to have a process for the when and why of house ruling for me.

Ron Blessing (he/him) @ronblessing.bsky.social · Sep 7

I think running RAW, initially, is important to understanding a game. I hesitate to change a rule I haven’t played in the context of the game, even rules I’ve seen before that I may have had a bad experience with. I’m likely to skip a whole game rather than hack it before trying it.

Ron Blessing (he/him) @ronblessing.bsky.social · Sep 6

The 4E version was so good, but my disdain for WotC at the time made it fall under my radar until it was near impossible to get a complete set. I’d love a reprint with those exact rules.

Dude! I literally cringed when I read this. My son asked me if I was okay. LOL

I do prefer what we see more often in the RPG and text book industries, but I’m too…particular?…to just throw away any part of a book.
