Hope it's okay to share my own list. My campaign world turns on the shifting whims of Olympians and Fey, so... Olympian Feasts, Festivals and Celebrations: (Apollo) Pythean Festival / Festival of Tears, Autumn, every 5 years – poetry & musical laments (Apollo) Sibylline, Summer – oracles and...

Seconded! The first edition Deities & Demigods has a special place in my heart and has always been part of my "Core Four" Advanced Dungeons & Dragons tomes, melding my obsession with the game and my love for mythology. (Awesome avatar, by the way!) And further, it opened up the game (for me...

I was thinking MTV's Real World, but that might be more of a Wandavision (TV genre) vibe than an Agatha-show (decade genre) scenario :confused:

I was briefly excited to hear that someone else had similar experiences with Barnacus: City in Peril until I looked a little closer... oh wait, that's one of my players. :rolleyes: I've been quietly waiting for the Dragon Reflections article on issue 80 for years now. After spending a few...

If you have Microsoft Word... Copy and Paste the image into Word, right click on the image... one of the options should be Format Picture. This should bring up a menu with an Artistic Effects option... which has some fun options.

One of my gaming crew came down with not-COVID last week, but had to suffer through that interminable "how many people did I possibly infect?" period while waiting for test results (because apparently some take-home tests aren't terribly accurate in detecting Omicron). Wanting to check in on...

Mystic is my default for the shamanistic range of class abilities, but I also use Keeper, Warden and Grey Walker to designate various magical specialties. Or I guess Spirit Walker could be a thing.

I'm a rabid multi-tasker, and I *need* to keep my hands busy - usually sketching but often reviewing my spells and abilities. The DM always has my full attention, but I can-not-be-still. Can't do it. But I'm usually the most active & engaged PC. As a DM, I've had Dreamers, who need to be...

I think this is a re-post of the Sentinel (Neutral Good Paladin) from Dragon 310: Sentinel Also, Unearthed Arcana (3.5) has variant Chaotic Good Paladin (compulsion immunity/aura instead of fear immunity/aura; different spell list), as well as a LE & CE version. Ultimately, if your DM is...

I read the OP as saying the campaign would take place on a Railroad. I would totally play a campaign set on a Railroad. Awesome.

The CSI/Who themes are a triumph of cross marketing. Or something. They're just awesome. I'm always happiest when they milk the organ intro leading up to the "Horatio Scream." ("Looks like... [sunglasses on] ... a critical hit.") "Behind Blue Eyes" is the next/best/obvious choice for a CSI...

Over the course of years of play, we pick up terminology that really isn't officially sanctioned and copy-written by TSR, WOTC, or The Powers That Be. Nevertheless these words become part of our gaming langauge. What unofficial jargon does your group use? Some examples... "Playing" - No one...

I totally forgot this when I started the thread... I used to hike down to Temple University to game with a friend and his college buddies. One night, for a change of pace, we played after hours in this upscale bakery in Center City Philadelphia where he worked. After an hour or so, my friend...
