This ain't your daddy's TSR (but his name's on the cover)

December 4, 2012 3:11 PM

Luke Gygax and E. Gary Gygax Jr, sons of Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax have announced they have formed TSR Games. The company's first, brave, foray into the market will be a print publication: Gygax Magazine with a very familiar logo. Apparently D&D owner Wizards of the Coast (and its owners, Hasbro) the last trademarked “TSR” for a game company in 2003, opening the door for the Brothers Gygax to scoop up the name for their company Hexagonist Publishing LLC on May 25, 2011.

To be published quarterly, Gygax is designed to cover independent and major publisher games such as Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, The One Ring, Shadowrun, Godlike, Labyrinth Lord, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, Warhammer 40K, Traveller, and others, as well as classic out-of-print games with a modern following, like AD&D, Top Secret, and Gamma World.
Although the new TSR is unconnected in any way with prior incarnations of the company, it does include several former employees and contributors of TSR Hobbies, notably Phil Foglio (What’s New With Phil and Dixie), Rich Burlew (Order of the Stick), Jim Ward and Cory Doctorow.
It will no doubt complete for market share with Dragon Magazine. Dragon ceased publication in its original form in 2007, although it continues under WOTC has a digital publication, as does Dungeon.

WE'RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

I'm curious to see how an independent tabletop gaming magazine does, period, much less a print publication.
In my youth I used to hoover up Games Master (later GMI) as much as I did Dragon, and later another one I think was published by White Wolf (something something Shadows something?).

But the late lamented GM Magazine was the best. I learnt about LARPing, PBM and a million small print run games from that. It was less nuts and bolts and rules, more fun.
And a load of Lone Wolf.

I'm not surprised Gygax had sons or that they're involved with RPGs, but I can't seem to find anything they've been involved on before. Here's a few credits for Luke, and some for Ernie, but the most recent was ten years ago. Ernie seems to be involved in Troll Lord Games, but I can't tell how. I also can't find anything for Hexagonist except a redirect to a Gygax Magazine signup and some kind of broken category page.

Do they have blogs or have they otherwise been involved in the community in a visible way in recent years?

Ahem. So with that out of the way, I have hope, maybe even high hopes, about this. With the rise in indie boardgames, it hasn't seemed like indie gaming has had the same good decade or so. I remember the d20 OGL boom (even got some freelance work back then), but since that it feels like things went downhill.

I never subscribed to Dragon - I was a Dungeon guy. I remember a letter from someone who dubbed themselves 'Mort the Traveler' in one of the letter columns asking where he could find one of those ladies he always saw riding around on dragons for his own bicycle. So hopeful, so awkward, so lonely. For some reason, Mort the Traveler has sort of stuck with me as an archetype. When I'm lonely but wandering, I think about Mort yearning for human contact and feel a sort of wistful melancholy.

I don't get to play RPGs much anymore, but I hope they bring back the letter columns!

We (as a contributor to Fight On! among other things I feel like I can say we) in the Old School Renaissance have had a good 5 years since the publication of Basic Fantasy and OSRIC, the first retro-clones or simulacrum games, and a lot of products. Very small press but it more or less fits the hobbyist vibe of the early game.

I'm interested but the Gygax magazine crowd seems to be casting a very broad net. We'll see how well they pull it off.

Ahem. So with that out of the way, I have hope, maybe even high hopes, about this. With the rise in indie boardgames, it hasn't seemed like indie gaming has had the same good decade or so.

It depends on what you mean by "indie." Most RPGs besides D&D and licensed games are indie by the definitions used in any other scene, but there's also that "indie" RPG scene that says it's only indie if you self-publish (but paradoxically, after that point you can hire other people to do stuff). And even though the Old School games have reinjected things that have been done before there's a strong DIY ethos there.

I think the main problem with RPGs reaching critical mass now is that there are just too many other ways to roleplay through fanfic and MMOs -- not just grinding or bring Harry Potter, but really innovative approaches to these things. Fanfic style forum/journal roleplaying now includes original characters and worlds, and lots of folks play WoW as the jumping off point for a rich approach to characters that extends into writing, art and ad hoc michinema. Our pressing issues about task versus conflict resolution, "Gygaxian naturalism" and so forth have nothing to teach these people but ironically, the story worlds and bits that stuck outside particular systems not only have an effect, but that effect goes right down to the source material -- not so much procedures.

But the tabletop scene is so phobic of Big Worlds now that we assign the least value to the things that can really grab folks. Certainly, there's no end of innovation, from novel tweaks to reimaginings of tabletop play (some of which I feel kind of miss the point of playing an RPG at all, but that's for another time) but they all seem to exist in a prison created by our nostalgia for certain kinds of worlds, and where we settle for TVTropes callbacks instead of genuine depth.

Yeah, with that provenance, I'd think they'd be all about OSR, but it sounds like they're also trying for a fairly early Dragon-style vibe -- when the magazine still had extensive coverage of non-TSR games. I wonder which will win out.

White Dwarf was like that in the olden days too. That they both became house organs was always a bit sad. If the fanbase is there, I think a quarterly magazine can make a go of it. There are enough cashed up old folks out there (I mean, have you seen the cost of Lego these days, or subscription toy services like Matty Collector?) with a serious taste of nostalgia and interest... even if we have no one to play with any more.

What will sink this out of the port is a lack of advertising support. If they can tap that market, get WOTC and Games Workshop on board, and maybe smaller guys for a few nickels), with subscriptions, it means they can probably create a viable project.

Ouch. This does seem, from the outside, like there's some bloody-minded family business going on there between the first from the first marriage and the second wife.

Her request: "Please respect my wished to change the caption of this thread to:

Given it is their surname, and their legacy of some sort, I wonder how she could legally stop the Brothers Gygax using their name for a magazine. A uspto.gov looks like Gygax isn't registered there (but it's the only place I know where to look). But I am no one's lawyer.

It would be interesting (though I doubt it is their intention) if Gygax worked similar to the way Coilhouse did: regular online content updates with an occasional high quality print issue released in limited runs, followed by a PDF version sold online later. This would let you publish at the speed of Internet while still accommodating the tabletop gamer's love of print (and limited edition print at that).

I would also accept a McSweeney's Quarterly of tabletop.

My three year old will mimic the pained face of a bad roll when she plays with my set. We haven't had a game in front of her but the reaction to a bad roll seems to happen even with nothing riding on the roll.

I'm legit excited too. We've been playing a round of homebrew (HARP and something else based I think) RP and it's been a shitload of fun. And our GM is just the kind of guy to take some nasty tips from a mag, just to make our life harder. We've been playing Descent as well (board game, not the 90's video game, which was my first reaction) so we're at optimal adoption of a general gaming focussed mag right now.

Completely different articles. The Manual of the Planes was a cosmology (and honestly I prefer the 4e World Axis for adventuring). Planescape was a setting about "Philosophers with clubs" (to use Zeb Cook's description) - and about somewhere that was (a) the most cosmopolitan place in the Multiverse, (b) somewhere in a universe with active gods where worship was banned and (c) competing worldviews and philosophies in a way Mage the Ascension only promised to be.
