    Comic Book General Thread

    My buddy, a die-hard Spider-Man, and to a lesser extent X-Men, guy, once characterized my reading temdency as "All that weird indie stuff." At the time I was reading...Hellboy (and BPRD). Right now, my pull sheet is short: Cyberpunk (it's been hits and misses, but I'm usually entertained)...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I finally bought the Vaesen Starter and Mythic Carpathia (12/30 and 1/1). Mythic Carpathia was a fun read. And that about taps me out of "To Buy" until the One Ring Saruman book drops, although I just saw the solicit for Spellfinder and that has me intrigued. Edit: I did order Inspirisles, but...

    D&D General Does anyone know which products had Elmore's Dragon Slayers, and Proud Of It! art?

    Same! Every time someone asks the "What's the most evocative art?" question, it's my go-to answer. I really SHOULD just break down and buy a print.

    Just discovered Inspirisles. A TTRPG that helps teach sign language (to cast spells)

    Oh, this sounds fantastic. My daughter is working on learning ASL (and runs through the alphabet as a calming/fidgeting tactic), she wants me to learn it with her. I may need to check this out. Thanks!

    Games You Rarely See Played "Correctly"

    Came here to say this. And if we're going as CREATOR intended, even the rules are wrong! ETA: see @jian comment above.

    D&D General How much goofing off did you do in 2025?

    Not as much as I'd like: Playing? 13 sessions of our monthly online "Tomb of Annihilation" campaign (one special in-person session). DM? Three sessions for my kids and friends, one for students Ran one game of HeroQuest for my kids, taught my son to play Magic The Gathering and played one...

    What's the best food?

    100% agree! I entertain an overly-optimistic thought that sitting down and sharing a plate of whatever your culture's dumplings are will break down most socio-cultural barriers. Butter-fried Pierogi is a Christmas tradition in my family.

    Your Favorite Holiday Special

    And then the Malkavian art in 1st Edition Vampire The Masquerade wore it on a shirt, kinda coming full circle there. Let's see: Does "That Christmas" on Netflix count? A cute animated Christmas flick based on stories written by the screenwriter of "Love Actually." It's become an annual watch...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Not my purchase, but my daughter picked out the Stranger Things 5E boxed set for me, for Christmas. As for my money, I'm STILL going back and forth on the Vaesen starter set and Mythic Carpathia.

    When and where did you learn about Greek/roman and others mythology?

    My dad is an amateur stargazer, so I came to classical Greek via that, then next to my assigned seat in our library class was the mythology shelf, so after I read the Greek/Roman book that was at eye level when I turned my head, I read the Norse one, and then started in on folktales. I remember...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    I do this with the culture/s that loosely inspire the character concept.

    Today I learned +

    Thank you for the response. Reframing the question: do the videos provide lore, insight, and commentary or are they basically reading/presenting basic info that could be covered reading Dragonlance Adventures?

    Today I learned +

    Is it any good? It keeps popping up for me, but I have yet to watch any of the videos.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    That just sounds like a failure of imagination on the part of AB-InBev to market them as major drinking holidays. (See: St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo.)

    I just put the link to the auction on my office Secret Santa wishlist. It's a bold move; let's see if it pays off.
