Covered, chunked, peppered, and topped is my go to if I'm at Waffle House. (Cheese, ham, jalapenos, and chili) Greek potatoes can be awesome, and there was a place at UIUC that used to have great Irish Nachos made from waffle fries. My favorite might be a double act - French fries with mashed...

DMG might be my favorite gaming book of any type. (Which is different from being a great book to use playing a game ..). But it has a bit of absolutely everything in it, from types of government to magic items to random thoughts on world building to all kinds of game rules I must have read...

"British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie" Maybe it's different for those with/without Thanksgiving? Or those with/without Boxing Day? Or maybe it says something about the people who respond to surveys...

The late-middlish part even. Pulled up his proclamation earlier today in part due to this thread.

A post-apocalyptic game is one of my top choices in general .. but I don't know think so with the restriction of using everything in the PHB, etc... WIth that restriction, I can imagine a Heroic Wuxia+Steampunk mash up being a lot of fun.

I think a lot of them don't wait that long for the last minute Halloween buyers ... :-(

Not a big part of my Thanksgiving, but...
