What's you favorite holiday song? As we're drifting toward the end of the year, pick your favorite non-specific winter solstice festival song ... or another holiday, should you choose. If you're response is Wham's Last Christmas, then just get yourself to the Whamaggeddon thread and...

Dolmenwood's a fantastic product. I backed the Kickstarter just based on the B/X mechanics and art knowing nothing about the setting. I'm really impressed with it. Felt like hitting the lottery.

Haven't listen to randomized music in quite a while, so three days into December I'm still going. So far this year the only Christmas music we've had is stuff I've played myself (I'm teaching myself the recorder).

Getting close to the end game.

Scattered, smothered, covered and what else?

Yukon Gold. Or are you asking for the best potato recipe? I'm confused.
