I've been interested in Winter's Daughter and didn't know about this live play, so this is really helpful. Thanks!

For those who might not be aware, Project Aon hosts all(?) of Joe Dever's gamebooks as downloadable files (aka Lone Wolf, Freeway Warrior, etc.). This was sanctioned by hom before he died.

https://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books

It also includes the Combat Heros books, which are best described as 1-on-1 first person combat gamebooks. I wish they'd been more popular.

Robert Kuntz is the last founder of Dungeons & Dragons still alive, his name is even on the original Greyhawk supplement:

Wasn't interviewed for the Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons, doesn't get invited to conventions, etc.,

Gee, I wonder why…

He's also helping design a module (I think it's a module, maybe it's the game world) for Knights of the Frontier Valley. There are a couple of videos that briefly feature him on the game's Steam page.

Basically, this new guideline has instructions telling the DMs to ask the players what "triggers" them before the game starts, and even tells them how to "forcefully brake" a campaign that makes a player "feel offended", as if the brainrotted leftards who infected tabletop weren't already doing that. lol
Shortly after the DM pulls out this guide.

Back in the good old RPG days, this would be an image of the villainous enemy party that you as the heroes need to stop in order to save the day.

What are you talking about? I just see a normal photograph of the five races that built the West: ******, Injun, Buffalo, White, and Jew.

There's probably a coolie working on a railroad somewhere in the background.

Cowboy Satan is clearly White.
Also the buffalo might be a white guy in a football mascot outfit.

I've been listening to Macris' LP of his Grey Brotherhood online campaign (ACKS), while I've been doing other stuff.
In episode 28 of this LP the team tried to make a dwarf henchman less disabled and ended up genderswapping him.

Does it count as leftist propaganda if divine-based (divine!) transitioning is included in ACKS core ruleset?

From what I remember about Greek mythology and folklore, the Olympians sometimes gender-swapped someone as a form of punishment.

There's also a dedicated female divine/martial class, the bladedancer. ACKS isn't quite as chudly as its detractors make it out to be. Well, in fairness, divine intervention is really the only way either of those things could work.

Obvious fake news! Polymorph Self and Polymorph Other spells exist for all your wizarding needs.

Also, in episode 30 they've flipflopped the dwarf back via yet another divine intervention. That goddess of healing is pretty kinky.

I really dislike how D&D and derivatives put 10 copper = 1 silver, 10 silver = 1 gold.
Among other things it would mean that golden swords and cutlery should be quite common compared to copper ones. "Look, honey, I brought you a golden necklace that's worth less than your copper cauldron, marry me!"
It's as if devs are unable to copy Roman coinage.

Does anyone know what tabletop RPG the Daggerfall devs lifted its class/skill system from?
It's somewhat similar to GURPS Templates, but it appears templates didn't exist until a '97 publication.

I think it's close to Rolemaster, but perhaps there's something else I'm missing
