Getting out of the hobby sale number one



Here is my first load (of many) of things I am getting rid of as I am getting out of the RPG hobby altogether.  So I figured the first thing to do should be some sets of dice that I have which have never even been used.  Most from Kickstarters.  Selling locally and to friends that I actually have met in person.

To purchase drop an email to: peteramthor@gmail.com okay.


Thorn Dice Set. SOLD.

This is a 3D printed set of dice ordered off of Shapeways.  High quality and very detailed.  They roll well BUT are almost weightless.  So they tend to bounce oddly and feel strange in your hand.  This is due to the fact that there is nothing in the center... ah the coolness of 3D printers.  Mine are a dark grey color, almost a primer grey, which doesn't seem to be offered anymore.

Here is the page where I bought the dice from: Thorn Dice Set




Double D6 Dice.

Got these through a Kickstarter.  Got two of each: flat green black dots, flat red white dots, flat black green dots, flat black white dots, marble purple with gold dots, marble blue with white dots and marble green with gold dots.  That's fourteen dice in a 'DoubleSix' branded dice bag.

Here is the website at which they are sold now: Double Six Dice

Going for 1.50 to 1.75 for each die. I'll take 14 bucks.


Ceramic Dice Set.  SOLD.

From another Kickstarter.  These are some heavy dice and you can hear them roll on the table.  Not quite metal dice but the equal to stone dice.  These are red (although the red is a bit faded in color) with green numbers.  Standard die set.

Here is the website for them now: Black Rock Relics




Fate Dice.

From yet another Kickstater... seeing a trend here?  Two sets of Fudge dice used with FATE and Fudge powered games.  One set is clear green the other is clear purple... well it's supposed to be clear purple... but it's damn near black unless you hold it up to the light.  Comes with two small dice bags.

Here is the Kickstarter they came from: Fudge Dice Infusion

It cost me 17 dollars for these.  I'll take 10 if anyone is of the FATE fan group.



Like I said up above, email me if interested.

Jaded Gamer - The End


I'm done it's over. 

I'm a gamer who doesn't have time to game.  I'm a gamer who doesn't have any free cash to spend on anything.  I'm a gamer who hasn't got to be a gamer for years now. 

So I'm waving goodbye at the hobby I've known for decades.  It's time to move on, box the books and dice up and put them away.  Not like I use them anymore anyways.  No longer having to see the idiotic division between gamer 'factions' on the internet.  No jackasses telling people their type of gaming is wrong.  No dumbasses telling people they should go hug their bully.  The drama camps can all go piss up a rope.

The game companies that want to charge stupid prices for core books making their buy in absolutely ridiculous can fuck off as well.  As can the ones who treated their backers like shit after we paid for their success. 

To many jackass talking heads who are only talking out of their asses.  Acting like they are some sort of elite level of gamer because they use some different jargon or have a podcast.  To many pricks getting all pissy when somebody questions their definition of what a roleplaying game is.

You have all poisoned the well, tainted the hobby.  Toxic fucks, the MRA's, SJW's, Edition Warriors, etc... the whole fucking lot.  Worthless.

This blog is at an end.  My involvement with gaming is at an end.  I'm finished, burned out, had enough.

Jaded Gamer - What I miss.


Since the advent of the publicly accessible internet there have been gamers using it. Hell there were gamers using it before most of the world had even heard of such a thing.  One period of that time is something that I really miss... a lot. I often refer to it as the 'wild west' of the world wide web.  Let me talk about that a bit.

Do you remember Geocities, WBS, xoom, etc.  You know all those sites where you could host a little webpage on for free.  Maybe a couple of ads would pop up (or none if you did the html right) but the cost was absolutely nothing.  Yeah, those were the days.  There were so many webpages for gaming there was absolutely no way of going through even a small percentage of them.  Just type into a search engine and see what comes up for your favorite game.  Or, better yet, was when you found a webring for pages dedicated to your favorite game.  Early rough edged forum services were all over the place, again for free, just begging for people to use them.  Everybody who had a page had a section of weblinks to other pages, sometimes sprawling long lists.  Your measure of success was how many hits your little counter racked up and how many people linked back to your work.

Yeah... those were the days.  I loved digging through all that, sifting out the diamonds from the dirt.  Copy pasting the awesome shit to print out for use at your table.  All while trying to promote my own pages.  People were using scanned in artwork from wherever they could find it.  Not to mention all the little moving gifs as well (I had a chains hanging in fire gif that was so cool back in the day....).  Or finding a listserv to share what were working on with others of the same interest.

The online gaming community felt so much more alive back then.  You could see other people trying to hand their ideas out to whoever would listen.  Working together to create a fanbase for their favorite game (fist bump to all the veterans of the Kult listserv out there). 

Some game companies loved this era.  The amount of fans they could reach out to AND the number of fans that would freely promote their games.  Some companies even put out promotional kits for people running webpages.  They had logo's, some art and such for you to use for free.  Hell it was free promotion so why not?  I really wish more companies would do that today.

I miss this era of online gaming community.  Though I understand what happened and why it started to die.  Companies discovered there really was no money in hosting webpages for people so they folded or closed up shop.  Dedicated forums began to spring up more and more pulling people to just be interactive there.  Finally the dawn of blogging and social media put the nails in the coffin.  While there are still some of us who do still host our own pages (or sites now as we pay for them), do our own html and still hope people find their way to our little hole on the web.  It's not the same.

I want that wild west back.
