    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    The hand of Vecna…….peanuts! The eye of Vecna…….huh! It’s the head of Vecna that really matters.

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    Always loved Greyhawk. I’m VERY happy to see this product on the horizon.

    To be fair, we also have a Newcastle, Newport, Newhaven, Newton Abbot etc. Driving around the US, I love both the First Nations place names that occur and also some of the personalised town names that resonate history.

    I believe our US friends have newer versions of both York and Jersey. And, indeed of England as a whole. And of Morrus’ home county of Hampshire.

    I do love badgers: Since retiring from professional life, I’ve worked p/t on a vineyard and country estate. The wildlife is awesome, but badgers are hilarious. Come grape harvest time (October) other food is getting scarcer, so badgers will go for some grapes, but by harvest the alcohol content...

    Talking of hedgehogs, and other UK wildlife….. Next year we get to vote on which UK wildlife gets to figure on the new generation of banknotes. Tough decision, but personally I’ll vote for badger, robin, puffin and hedgehog. And feel bad for not choosing bluetit, fox, crested newt and weasel.

    D&D General Steampunkette's Bard Redesign

    Hi Rachel, As per Rob’s answer, about 4-6 weeks, I guess. I love your design for this class.

    D&D General Steampunkette's Bard Redesign

    Since @Steampunkette designed this (brilliantly) and @TheSword liked it a lot, and I am due to play a bard in the Sword’s Waterdeep campaign after concluding Enemy Within, I reckon there’s a good chance of me getting to play test this new Bard. It looks great to me, especially the songs.

    What is the Enemy Within? King of Campaigns [Spoilers]

    I have had the absolute pleasure of being a player in this campaign, run by @TheSword . It has been a truly great experience; we have felt horror, sympathy, sadness, joy, determination, despair, pride and duty in equal measures, and we absolutely feel like living points of light, desperate to...

    What's your perfect movie

    I love movies, and it’s impossible to pick an all-time favourite, though some that I adore include: Jubilee (as a 1970s punk, this is so evocative. Jarman was great) Christiane F (desolation of a late 70s childhood in Berlin) Lord of the Rings trilogy ( goes without saying really….) Jurassic...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons of Drakkenheim: a dark fantasy sandbox in a ruined city

    Gabriella’s eyes clouded with tears as she fired arrow after arrow into the snarling mass of trolls surrounding her friends. She could see the mage, Gunther, doing the same with bolts of flame. To little avail. Yes, several trolls, including their brutish king, were slain, but both the valiant...

    Things you don’t like about DMing

    I love DM-ing overall. I also have been blessed by having so many great players, who buy into the implied social contract of the game, specifically in regards of fun for all, including the DM. One minor, and very occasional dislike, is if a player blames the ruleset or game system for something...

    St Swithin is kicking butt! I work part time on a vineyard since I’ve retired and it’s been so wet since Xmas that I feel like I’m a water elemental. Then today we had a massive thunderstorm; a vineyard with thousands of 8 Foot steel poles supporting the vines is not a good place to be in an...

    These are the Good Days [+]

    I can, and do, look back to playing as a kid in the late 1970s/early 80s, with glasses that are tinted with a whole garden of roses. Similarly, I also loved the days of 3e, gaming with many of the friends I still game with today, including the OP of this thread. But there is no question in my...

    It was actually Southampton Uni, so your dog would have been welcome……if he’d been around in the early 1980s!
