    IN REMEMBRANCE--2024 AD

    Still hard for me to believe. When I saw the news I was floored. Engineer, producer, advocate, and guy who lived by his words. I was lucky enough to see Shellac twice in a bar once in Jersey once in Philly. I'm a tad younger but it reminded me of the flow of time and our mortality.

    D&D General 50th Anniversary- Are You Not Entertained?

    I'm curious to see what they have planned but I'm also wondering if the fact they are rumored to have no one in the book department anymore and they just had huge layoffs plus a new VTT and edition to launch might mean this year could be messy with all going on. Tsojcanth sounds fun and exciting.

    Wow, just took the last two days to catch up. This whole continued debacle is like watching a clown car parade crash into a trainwreck that collided with a dumpster fire factory.

    D&D General D&D monsters that have been changed the most over time

    I know in 3rd edition they became more feline-esque. I watched Todd Lockwood discuss it on a youtube video. Of course, aesthetic design has influenced many monsters over the years, sometimes with a purpose other times just because the artist had a different image in their head. I think the...

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    Exactly. I do marketing and branding for a living and have clients like LaNasa with the grammar/spelling, not his worldview, I'd never work with someone and be ok marketing like he does. It's disgusting and hurtful....and stupid. There are a gazillion spell check and content improver apps out...

    I recall them from FF. I'll have to refresh my memory on later versions.

    D&D General D&D monsters that have been changed the most over time

    D&D has a long history and over those years monsters have come and gone. Some monsters have been reskinned, from minor makeovers to being completely reworked. I figured maybe we could all pitch in on "what monsters have changed the most over the years". Change = game rules mechanics (crunch) or...

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    If I could say one thing to LaNasa. "Get the eff out of our hobby, you troglodyte, take your populist bigoted campaigning elsewhere, and congratulations on your lost political campaign. Go back to designing weapons and losing elections." If I could say one thing to Ernie "You speak of being...
