Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Yeah. They’re both great books. The various sagas you can find can be fun reads as well. That big bastard of a book Sagas of the Icelanders comes to mind.

I've got that big ol' Penguin Classic deluxe edition, and yeah, it's a bit of a monster.

Just checked mine. It’s Saying of the Vikings, a translation of just the Havamal by Björn Jónasson and published by Guðrún in Iceland. Had this one for decades. Nice little hardback book. I also have the Hollander translation of the larger Poetic Edda. But I keep going back to that small hardback more often.

A nice edition of a book is a pleasure to hold and read.

"My group is playing 5th Edition, and I have this question about the 5th Edition rules, so I posted it in the 5th Edition forum and marked it with the 5th Edition tag, and I included a link to the 5th Edition source material."

"Okay but in 4th Edition..."

My next Call of Cthulhu one shot?

“My group wants to try a new game. We’ve played D&D 5E weekly for the last ten years and loved it, but we are burned out and want to try something new. Any recommendations for something that’s not D&D 5E?”

First thousand responses: “Why do you hate 5E?! It’s the perfect game.”

Next thousand responses: “You should try D&D 5E! It’s the perfect game.”

Next thousand responses: “If only you’d make these dozen sweeping changes to the rules you’d love 5E. It really is the perfect game.”

Next thousand responses: “If you’re tired of 5E you should try Tales of the Valiant, A5E, or any of these 5E clones.”

Etc.

Etc.

I hear ya. Although I've noticed OSR clones are gaining traction.

You forgot the (not quite inevitable) virtual beat downs of the poor schmoes who actually suggest other systems.

We're all fans of tabletop RPGs here, across all kinds of genres and from all sorts of publishers.

This is truly when we're at our worst.
