Having used some of those products for my kid and finding it a good brand, I was skeptical about objections until I saw the actual marketing language and yeah. . . EW. :sick: I think someone was trying to take advantage of the goofiness and absurdity that comes being the parent of an infant...

I am in the planning stages of a total re-do of my basement game room (including tearing down two crappy non-load bearing walls in order to put up ones that can actually hold the weight of shelves and allow for maps and art to be hung). but logistics on these projects is always a bear. For...

I totally dropped that part when I ran it (was just reading the part of the story hour that covered how I adapted it for my use). It is funny that I get so used to running these adventures as I have revised them long ago, that I forget what is original to it and what is what I made up - and had...

The Styes is republished in Ghosts of Saltmarsh. I would have run it by now if it did not taken my group going on 6 years to explore the area and do the first 4 adventures in there.

I always liked using the term "intersubjective."

I long ago learned (and this site helped) that it is often as pointless to discuss literary analysis with people who don’t (or don’t want to) understand it, as it is to discuss electrical systems with someone who just wants to flip the switch and have something turn on. There is a lot more...

Thanks! I somehow didn't see this yesterday.

I think I just get easily overwhelmed looking for a battle map that fits what I see in my mind (or even gets close) - it really puts me off on using a VTT. I have no problem with Dungeons because I just use Dungeon Scrawl to create the version I want and sometimes I throw a Dyson Logos map into...

This may be a weird thread to ask in, but the search function is letting me down with too many irrelevant hits, but does anyone know of a thread on here where people share battle maps for VTT use (like Owlbear Rodeo) or links to free ones?

If we are including those, then I'd include "The Sword of Justice" from Dragon #92.

Ha! I offered this one to two different groups (in-game) in 5E games and neither took the bait! I find his criticism too harsh and based on a framework of "can you run it as published?" Since I don't think that of even the best "official" modules, it is not useful criticism for me (even though...

Yeah. that would irk me to no end. (y)

I get it. But sometimes players aren't sure what to do, or want to see what someone else does first, and doing that is a risk for a potential reward, and that is the kind of thing I like. Trust me, if it turned out to be a pain in the tuchus, been exploited, or slowed the game down, I would have...

I had been considering updating this thread, so thanks to @Richards for the reminder! In my Primordial Evil Campaign, we have had 8 full sessions, and one solo session (#28B) when a PC was separated from the rest of the party for a long time (the player ran a replacement character during that...
