I know which one not to use. The Stuart Roberson logo (the one that looks like a little dungeon map spelling out "OSR") was released under a CC license, but some objectionable people started using it to promote objectionable content, so he asked that people not use it at all anymore. So, out of...

I'm no longer as tied into that side of the industry (I.e. retail) as I used to be, but ACD is probably a good bet, for games at least. While they don't have the inventory that Diamond did, last I knew, they have a pretty good reputation among retailers (unlike Diamond).

The adventure path (The Riddling Reaver) was for the original Introductory Fighting Fantasy game, not AFF. The original AFF line was officially composed of only three books: Dungeoneer, Blacksand, and Allansia. The new AFF (2011) published by Arion Games, however, has a significantly larger...

Usually at my friend's game store (The Yellow King Games & Hobbies in Colorado Springs).

Hopping vampires and ghosts. I'd actually like to see more ghosts in D&D period. A horribly underutilized foe in D&D.

The dragon as Smaug variant is specifically a D&D-ism and it's one of very few things that I dislike about D&D (I mean, I really dislike it). I play dragons more like those of Dennis L. McKiernan's Mithgar novels. They can have pretty high intellect (and some may even talk), but they don't...

It is. I've seen them re-index (i.e. un-shadowban) some titles already.

Illithids are tough for me, because they're ostensibly genius level intellect villains and I do not possess a genius level intellect. Dragons, on the other hand, are pretty easy for me because I don't portray them all as Smaug variants and, instead, portray them as devastating, bestial, forces...

Great. :mad: This will have a significant negative impact on everyone.

Homestyle fries. Specifically the fries at Bionic Burger which, to this day, remain the best fries I've ever had in my life. I don't know if they still offer it, but you could get them sprinkled with sea salt and rosemary once upon a time. Absolutely mouth watering.

There comes a point when I tell them to do so or ask them to leave, if I'm running the game. If you can't tell me what your character's abilities do or how the rules work after two months of playing, you're not invested enough in the game I'm running for me to care if you continue to show up...

If I'm running a game, I bring my own copy of the core rules that everybody is initially free to use, but I prefer that the other players buy their own copies of the PHB or equivalent (maybe not immediately, but eventually).

I'm at about $50 for a hardcover core book and a max of three core books. Most of that is because I'm disabled and susbsist mainly on SSDI, which doesn't pay very much. I occasionally make some extra money editing/proofreading RPG material, but that money is almost always put toward necessities...

Using that definition, no.

It's mostly for personal aircraft, but chartering personal flights to LAX probably isn't insanely expensive based on my personal knowledge of chartering personal flights. In the past, they've had commercial connecting flights to LAX (I think it's likely that they'll probably reexamine that in...
