CAN have tails, no wings, and Not in my game... One game I run is in Tal'Dorei, where Dragonborn with/without tails is a bit of a thing. Another game has a lot of involvement with Dragons as near-godlike creatures, and instead of Dragonborn, has "Dragonbloods" people with Dragon somewhere in...

I have used it myself, and it's been part of nearly every session I run for several years now. No-one's ever used it mid-play, but having it, and the conversations about it and about making games safe and welcoming has helped others come forth with issues during and between sessions. Perhaps...

Flippin' Nazis. Is there anything they can't ruin???

Until my stroke last year I ran 5 games per week. I still run those games (after a few months off), but four of them are biweekly. Three of the games are interlocked, one setting, three different groups, but all affecting the world. D&D. The fourth is D&D, but a different setting. The fifth is a...

Condolences. I lost a player - and a friend - when I was in high school. Alan was camping with a friend and they went for a walk. Never came back. Got lost and starved to death in the mountains. Me and all of Alan and Rich's friends were pretty broken up by this. The ongoing game he was in...

Well, sadly, that means I won't be able to use them. At least I know it's not TOO sus.

I mentioned this before, but what is the humblebundleinc.sjv.io in the link? My browser won't follow it. I can get to the site manually, no prob. But not these links.

I can't remember the first thing I bought with my own money. The memory blurs. Possibly Villians & Vigilantes? Definitely not anything D&D; Purchase of D&D stuff came later, though I think I chipped in a couple bucks for our DM to buy modules. The first thing I owned was the first edition of...

"NoNoNo! You don't understand! I'm working with the NICE Holocaust-denying racist!" I love my Dark Tower 5e update. I like my Temple of Elemental Evil 5e Update. I'd LOVE a CSIO update! But not at the cost of supporting this. I don't see how I can ever give Goodman my $$$ ever again.

I'm tempted to hop on the fence, just so I can jump off it with extra verve. The hell with that bigot and all who willingly work with him. Sorry, Goodman. I was out, now I'm extra out.

I said 'a year or so,' but that memory is 40+years old, so the timing may be off. Gamma World. My first GMing experience.
