Ah, I've seen a couple of those. He must be one of those talented actors who disappears into each role, rather than essentially playing the same character over and over.

And my axe! Congrats to him. I don't know who he is -- oh, I've probably seen his work I guess, but don't recognize the name -- but sounds like a worthy award.

You aren't alone. Usability trumps aesthetics for me.

Good ones. /s I'll try anything. I prefer games with strong themes, especially if themes are reflected well in the mechanics. Single player solitaire in a multi-player game, pasted-on-theme, and/or no meaningful choices are right out. I do prefer fantasy and sci-fi themes to "mundane" ones. In...

Oh, man, I'm so sorry. Hugs.

California Public School grad here. Iliad and Odyssey were required reading in my high school honors English. We learned Greek myths in elementary school though. Admittedly, that was last century .... typing that makes me feel old.

Certainly in early elementary school. I don't recall the reason, exactly -- we got told a lot of Greek myths. Enough that when Clash of the Titans was released, we were all excited because we knew the stories it was based on. D&D added to, but it was already familiar territory. The Iliad and...

I survived. Close at the end; had to run out to a bakery and they were playing Christmas music. Luckily it was "I'm Getting Nuttin' For Christmas" and I beat a hasty retreat before the song changed. A Happy Non-Specific Winter Solstice Festival to you all!

I read Dim Sun today -- great stuff! Very reminiscent of early OOTS, and funny both for the Dark Sun jokes as well as the cross-references to normal OOTS. Shame he can't continue it, but it was fun for a one-shot. If you like OOTS, pick it up!

Plus, the colors of Christmas are red and green, which as every orc knows, are the color of their skin and the color that makes things fastest and most powerful. If that isn't a sign, they don't know what is.

The holiday for the rest of us! I expect you've all completed your feats of strength, aired your grievances, and are now dancing around the Festivus pole.

https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1337.html I wonder if Rich intentionally waited to that strip number to have the collision between the parties? Oh -- anyone read his Dim Sun comic yet? I'll have to pick it up.

Pitch it as a horror story.

Crossover comic issue. Sell the movie rights and PROFIT! Just needs a catchy title... Transmasters of the Universe!

Yep, I buy that. M34 isn't a Christmas movie; it's simply a movie set at Christmas.

This explains so much...

1. A Christmas Story. Runners up: Muppet's Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th St. 2. Nightmare Before Christmas. (Struggled with this categorization.) Love Actually runner up, I guess. 3. Die Hard. Runner up: Home Alone. Edit: what I think would help differentiating Christmas movies from...

What an opportunity! I've never played a character as a player with a stat that low. The real question is where to put it? Sickly or sorcerer, with it in CON or STR? Clueless & distracted wizards with it in WIS? Clumsy fighter with it in DEX? Dumb but worldly wise cleric with it in INT? Or...

Clearly a sign of the End Times.

Huh. Hadn't heard about it, and while I despised CGI Cushing (and CGI Carrie Fisher even more!) I was kinda hoping the lawsuit would have been about "Somehow, Palpatine returned!" in Ep. 9. If any Star Wars character and plot decision was deserving of a legal tongue-lashing, it should be that one.
