New article on Beyond covering the changes made to the artificer class in the upcoming Eberron book - looks quite close to what they published in the UA, as I recall.

I was going to say - everyone I knew who played had at least one or two of those in the 3e era.

I personally like Northrop Frye's "Green World" term. As a literary form, it most certainly predates freaking anime.

I'm not trying to undercut your point at all, but the fact that the pewter warp spiders I bought in middle school are still legal game pieces is significant, I think.

I think people are mixing up the "Liminal Horror" rpg with the "Liminal" rpg from Modiphius. The names are just too similar.

I'm pretty much in this group - I started playing in the mid 90's with second edition, played through 3.5, and left the hobby for personal reasons in the early 00's. Didn't play at all until 2018, when I heard the interns talking about the "cool, underground game that you probably haven't heard...

I'm surprised to not see Mythic Bastionland mentioned yet https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bastionland/mythic-bastionland-rpg-before-into-the-odd

Hear me out: the muppets sit down to play D&D together. Then, cut to live action of the PCs, but keep the voice actors the same - Miss Piggy voices Jason Momoa as the barbarian. Edit: “The Muppets Present: Lost Mine of Phandelver”. If only Mr. Henson was alive to portray the DM.

Two that I've DM'ed, that went over really well: 1. Against the Cult of the Reptile God with A Wild Sheep Chase Why doesn't the sage Ramne not just walk out on his porch and cast dispel magic on everyone every morning? Because his apprentice turned him into a sheep, naturally. Plugged an odd...

I'd never seen the driveway before; pretty neat! Should we all toss in and see if we can come up with the 4.5 mil? https://www.christiesrealestate.com/sales/detail/170-l-84031-2312221448117512/723-williams-st-lake-geneva-wi-53147/%7Baction%7D

You probably know about them, but on the off chance - have you tried microsol and microset?

In fairness, one could assume WotC ended that licensing relationship for a reason.

"Delta Green: The Conspiracy". Even if I never convince anyone to play Delta Green with me, it's just a great read.
