I love Dungeon Crawler Carl, and I I think this is an excellent idea for an RPG. I wish them all the best!

I hear this all the time, and it has never helped my level of enthusiasm. Not even once. "I swear it gets good after the Xth episode!" "You really need to see the first X films in the series, in this specific order, to really appreciate this one." "You need to read the books first, then the...

Yeah, I bounced off of it also. I thought the game itself was fine (once it got patched a few times), but it just didn't measure up to the hype imo. I finished the Corpo Rat job, then lost interest.

I've stopped using the word "Lovecraftian" altogether, and started using "eldritch" instead. I don't think I can ever go back. I've stopped using "Potterverse," "Potter-esque," and the like as well (and for similar reasons). I haven't settled on a singular replacement just yet, but I've been...

I can't argue with that. One of the most miserable gaming sessions I've ever had was triggered by a single, inflexible player and a pizza order.

This would only be a problem for me if you were to then hold this wierd recipe up as an example of why pizza is bad. The versatile nature of pizza is a feature, not a bug.

Oh man, the perfect gaming session? For me, you'd have to roll back the calendar 40 years. What game? D&D Basic and Expert rules What campaign? Mystara How many participants? Four. How long is the session? 4-8 hours What is the "breakdown" between time spent in combat, exploring, roleplaying...

...you lost me. I think that personal experience is the best way to inform an opinion.

It's almost like this was the plan all along. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cde5y2x51y8o

Yep! And I'm arguing that popularity can be a measure of greatness.

Fair point. But what makes a mustache "great" or "iconic" anyway? Is it just the size of the 'stache, or is it the popularity? the recognizabiity? the image it conjures in the mind? If someone says, "the fellow had a mustache like Freddy Mercury," a lot of folks will nod in understanding...

Who wore the greatest mustache in history? Here is a list of great mustaches, presented in alphabetical order. These are all real, iconic mustaches worn by real people: no fake mustaches (sorry Groucho Marx), no cartoon characters (sorry Yosemite Sam). Vote for as many or as few as you like.

One of my colleagues is a wastewater engineer. He always says, "Sewer treatment plants save more lives than hospitals," and he's right.
