    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?

    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.)

    Tolkien’s Writing Desk on Auction at Christie's

    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.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    I celebrate Thanksgiving as Abraham Lincoln intended, in honor of the defeat of those traitorous Confederate rebels at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and the fall of Atlanta and the capture of Mobile Bay. [/S] And for gravy. I like gravy.

    Favorite mythological creature

    I feel like "What's New with Phil and Dixie" did a bit about this a million years ago.

    Favorite mythological creature

    As an English teacher who studied more-than-a-fair-amount-of-Latin-American-lit-for-the-90's...BORGES is pretty fantastic. (I used to push to get more of him in the curriculum on a regular basis.)

    What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

    I need to add: "I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed." -North by Northwest

    What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

    I also use that line from The Big Lebowski basically as punctuation. That, and the one about The Eagles. I share your appreciation for Casablanca I'm going to go with the five (or so) movie quotes I tend to work into conversation: From Ghostbusters, "Dogs and cats living together - MASS...

    D&D General Highest level PC you've achieved.

    4E: Finished Scales of War at Level 30, Goliath Warden but I genuinely do not remember how long we played for. It was a few years. (Albeit there was one point we jumped a few levels to wrap everything up, and I took three months off when I got a fellowship, played a human soulknife for a few...

    Favorite mythological creature

    I don't know much about the Wolpertinger, but Jackalope is a personal favorite here too. From classical mythology, I like Chimera. Spending much of my childhood vacationing in/around Wisconsin, but never TO Rhinelander, I've always been intrigued with the Hodag. Although I try to be...

    Funko Pop! in Trouble

    Pops of our kids were a GREAT Xmas gift for my wife two years ago, but that's not a gift with a lot of "re-buy-ability". En toto: I have a Commander Data at work (this is off topic, but by way of explanation: Data is in a bin with a bunch of other Data action figures--the admin is big on...

    Funko Pop! in Trouble

    I can see a future where Funko and Super7 merge/buyout. They both are niche, and there's probably a market for Pops/Soda, Reaction, Ultimates, and whatever Mondo is doing under the same corporate overlord.

    Free League Publishing Announces New One Ring Adventure

    The first Free League TOR product that I'm going to pass on, since I have the box already. But it's a net positive this info is staying in circulation.

    Burger me!

    The best use I have for it is to take the individually wrapped singles, toss them on the hot grill (still wrapped) and race to see which one inflates first--cheese races can be a blast when one is in a certain, uh "mindset" at a cookout/barbecue. Of course, I also get a kick out of "Peep...

    Be really lazy and use bacon sliders!

    Burger me!

    WC is Midwest too, but not to the degree they were 20 year ago. Don't sleep on WC breakfast. Those fresh eggs make a world of difference. Nearest WC to me is only a 15 minute drive, but it's to the southwest, which is a way I literally never go. And if I AM going that way, the really good...

    Free League Publishing Announces New One Ring Adventure

    Literally my exact thoughts on this system. Especially the idea of a coherent campaign narrative. But I guess it's cool that TOR leaves it up to the GM, they're more "modules" than "adventure paths."

    Burger me!

    Black bean burger with bacon. Doesn't need to be a "fake" burger, it's a good sandwich in it's own right.
