AD&D 1E - Looking at Weapon Speed Factor and Simultaneous Initiative
The AD&D 1e Dungeon Masters Guide is the home to many rules that my groups ignored for one reason or another back in the 80s. Weapon Speed Factor potentially giving multiple attacks during simultaneous initiative is one of those ignored rules.

We Have the Final ORC License - Is It What Was Promised?
The ORC License has no "morality clause" and never will. That's a "win-win" in my book ;)

No More Physical Only D&D Books Directly From WotC Anymore - Physical/Digital Bundles Only!
Not really surprisingly, WotC is no longer offering physical books on its own from its website. Instead, your only choice, if you order directly from WotC, is a physical/digital bundle.
How long before the physical books are no longer an option?

When is an Old School TSR Gamers Group no Longer an Old School TSR Group? Look Ma - No More TSRs!
TSR drama that ISN'T about nuTSR? You're kiddin' me!
James Ward go himself suspended without explanation from the Old School TSR Gamers Group on Facebook for violating that "no commercial content" posting policy.
Either the mod that suspended James without explaining why didn't know who James was (and thus shouldn't be a mod in a group dedicated to the Old TST ERa of gaming) or they knew who James was and suspended him despite such knowledge (it was assumed by some that he was finally being banned for his "stupid and wrong" takes on world issues.)
Now, an admin is threatening legal methods to combat the harassment the community has received for suspending James.
Did I mention that Frank M left the group? I'm not sure if Tim Kask were ever a member.

Tales of the Valiant Kickstarter Breaks $1M But Falls Flat - Likely Won't Surpass ShadowDark RPG
Tales of the Valiant has hit the $1M mark, but will likely fall short of Shadowdark's $1.365M.

Are We Entering a New Schism in the OSR? Is This Sword Dream 2.0?
Ah, the sweet-bitter memories of Sword Dream. The OSR that never was, born and crushed in the ruins of Google Plus.
Now, there seems to be a push to redefine the OSR not by the games played or the styles they are played in, but in the social issues of the world at large. No longer is your preferred edition the topic of discussion, it's your preferred pronouns. Oh, and don't forget to F the Police!
Are the days of Sword Dream 2.0 upon us?

If You Are Watching This Video, You May Already Be Banned! (Discord Servers, Facebook Groups)
Guilt by association is real on social media, and some groups on FB and servers on Discord are purging those who have the potential of "Wrong Think" due to their association with Your Bartender in the OSR.
Why is that? What do they fear?

A Company is Offering Refunds on an Overdue Preorder? It CAN T Be an RPG Publisher, Can it? Nope!
When I read that refunds were being given on pre-orders of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, for a brief moment I thought an RPG publisher was doing the "right thing". Instead, it's a CRPG publisher.

Return From The Con - What Trials Await the Con Goers Upon Their Return Home?
A good convention is a bit like a Time Stop spell - the rest of the world seems to fade away, and all of the trials and tribulations of the real world are left behind.
Sadly, the truth is, the world keeps on going as you enjoy the convention, and often leaves you with a few surprises upon your return.
