Content Disclaimers

Disclaimers for People

On this page I detail the people or organization that created content that I've often referenced or used. One example is Adam Koebel. He is the author of Dungeon World, a game that I ran, contributed to, and wrote a lot about.

Each person or organization has a unique disclaimer. Not everyone who warrants a disclaimer is on this page. These disclaimers are for active content creators.

I envision this to be a living document, which is why I'm including both the date created and last reviewed date.

Adam Koebel

Disclaimer Details for Adam Koebel

In response to Adam's behavior concerning his on-screen behavior in the Far Verona stream, his non-apology, and reports of his behavior with relationships, I no longer recommend purchasing the Dungeon World rulebook. There are free Dungeon World reference documents that I recommend you use instead.

A Redditor wrote in greater detail about Adam's behavior.

Justin Alexander

Disclaimer Details for Justin Alexander

Having read DIY & dragons: Xandering is Slandering and the following other responses across a sundry of platforms, I am scrubbing any links to So You Want to be Game Master.

Since originally writing the above disclaimer in there have been further developments: An Update on Jaquaysing and A Second Historical Note on Xandering the Dungeon.

Reading these developments, I'm inclined to restore links to So You Want to be Game Master and forever call it “Jaquaysing.”

James Raggi IV

Disclaimer Details for James Raggi IV

James Raggi IV runs Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I find his behavior to be shock-seeking. I'm tired of that treadmill and approach. I have stopped purchasing any Lamentations of the Flame Princess products.

Luke Crane

Disclaimer Details for Luke Crane

In light of Luke's behavior around The Perfect RPG Kickstarter, I no longer recommend advise consideration before purchasing any Burning Wheel products. This includes Torchbearer and the Mouse Guard RPG.

I wrote more about this in and .

Luke Crane has issued an update. I am not going to dissect the statement; that is for you to decide.

I love the Burning Wheel system and plan to purhcase future develops of that system. This is a concession that I make, as the system maps quite well to both my sensibilities as well as remains a complex system to explore and disentwine.

I continue to run and play Burning Wheel. This is one of my absolute favorite games, because the system provides the tools for all players to contribute to the world building; that is to fully participate in crafting a world that is uniquely that of the game table. Paired with it's verbose, robust, and multi-tiered character development cycle, and the system sings.

Zak Smith

Disclaimer Details for Zak Smith

I recommend avoiding Zak Smith and/or Zak Sabbath. I find his behavior toxic, vitriolic, vendictive, and divisive.

On Take on Rules, I have expunged from my site what I hope to be all references to his creations.

If you are interested in learning more, I recommend you read Notice On Affidavit Request. Mike Evans is the publisher of a Kickstarter of Zak Smith's RPG.
