    Passing the Buck: A History of the Buck Rogers Franchise

    Ok, I can see that. It would have been nice if you'd mentioned it in the article though. SF fans have been trying to educate people regarding who's actually depicted on that cover for decades, because Buck fans keep using it as you did. But often without knowing that it isn't him, unlike yourself.

    Passing the Buck: A History of the Buck Rogers Franchise

    So why are you using a picture of Richard Balinger Seaton for your Buck Rogers article? The cover of the issue of Amazing Stories (which would be published by TSR for a while), which also published Nowlan's story, features the heroes of EE 'Doc' Smith's story: The Skylark of Space, NOT anything...

    D&D 5E Werebear wardrobe malfunction!

    I'd go with #2. That's one way to make a Goblin useful!

    Your favourite Trek?

    My fav is TOS, because that was my first. Although the early movies (EXCEPT for the first) run a close second. And I too played FASA Trek, but nearly as much as I would have liked.

    D&D 5E How do you generate ability scores for PCs?

    I've finally gotten to play (DM) a 5E game. As I prefer heroic characters, and its easier to survive being heroic if your PC has good stats to begin with, I put the following in place: Either roll 4D6, drop the lowest, or use my 'special' stat array: 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11. BUT, if you roll and...

    D&D 5E Ritual Spell Casting

    Isn't the spell still 'prepared' even if you run out of slots? Or do you have to re-prepare all your spells after a long rest?

    D&D 5E As a DM, do I kill the entire party at the end? Im torn?

    Oh, there are ways, especially if the DM is willing to bend the rules a bit (or already has house rules in place). I just ment that by RAW you can't chop someone up. ;)

    D&D 5E As a DM, do I kill the entire party at the end? Im torn?

    Just a quick note. This is one of the things that I've never liked about D&D. The obvious solution is to chop the Big Bad up into small pieces, box the pieces up in concrete (or whatever) and toss the pieces into the deepest parts of the ocean. Problem solved. (At least as far as they're...

    Don't have any riddles myself, but I think the answer to this is The Moon.

    The Three Games Inside D&D

    I'll take your word for it, as I never met him. Did see him once at a con, but that's not the same thing. And there's no doubt that our hobby would be quite different without him.

    Well, there's no denying that.

    The Three Games Inside D&D

    I would agree if Gary had really acknowledged the other's influence, especially later (AD&D and forwards) when he did his level best to proclaim that his ideas were the only ones that counted.

    The Three Games Inside D&D

    So, three out-of-staters showed up at Gary's house. Dave Arneson, Dave Megarry, and... WHO was the third person? And yet more proof that E. Gary stole all 'his' good ideas.

    D&D 5E Can you choose a Tool Proficiency as a Skill?

    As others have said, its up to the DM, but I'd allow it.
