    Cocktails

    This looks like fun! My understanding is that green Chartreuse is much harder to find these days (and, never having had it, I don’t have any on hand). Any decent substitutes?

    Cocktails

    This time of year, besides spiked eggnog, I look for some kind of a Cafe Oscar: I usually substitute a coffee liqueur instead of a chocolate one when I’m making them at home.

    D&D General A Rant: DMing is not hard.

    Mod Note: Things aren’t exactly bad up in here, but this thread IS generating multiple reports on more than one person. Incivility is being perceived, even if it’s not intended or even extant. I suspect some of that is due to the subject matter. Some may also be due to familiarity with...

    Making Modern Communication Work in Horror Games

    In older movies, you’d occasionally have a situation where one person would try to call the authorities, only to have them show up and be antagonistic to the protagonists. Not just in terms of disbelief or possible arrest, but actually compromised by the threat. See Invasion of the Body...

    I have a Battlecat

    I remember when I lived in Austin back in the early 1990s that someone had done exactly that! Even had the upholstery done in that saddle color. There was another jeep where someone had painted the driver’s side to mimic the brickwork of the store they owned. Austin’s unofficial motto, “Keep...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Close call at the UPS Store, but it was a cover. Later, I took my Mom out for Chinese, and they had Christmas music on. However, there was nothing played less than 50 years old.

    Going further, as we’re all aware, disinformation is still a thing online. In The Ninth Gate, there’s all kinds of disinformation on the form of simple mistakes to deliberate falsehoods meant to harm the unwary and incautious. Add AI and deepfake tech to the mix, occult charlatans spamming...

    Making Modern Communication Work in Horror Games

    Excellent question! So much this. I ALWAYS get extraneous results, regardless of how specific I make my queries. In fact, I’ve even done searches that included results that I tried to explicitly exclude. They did that in Jeepers Creepers. All classic.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    TBH, I kind of agree. For the past 10+ years, I’ve pretty much only visited 3 forums on the web: ENWorld and a pair of music boards. On each one, I routinely participate in a large number of OT threads about fashion, cooking, art, books, and visual arts. And- supporting your premise- on one...

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    Make sure that actually color-coded questions are shown on a Jerry rigged B&W monitor that replaced the original full color one. Bonus fun if it’s malfunctioning and occasionally displays photonegative images.
