Road Warrior had a UK release apparently in March 1982, and this issue of White Dwarf was Oct 1982, but Aftermath was released in 1981. There was certainly other post-apoc fiction to inspire Aftermath, though, so I suspect Sevenbastard is right.

I immediately thought of suet pudding, and other historic dishes which show up in the Aubrey/Maturin novels. It makes sense that they'd have it around the holidays, with suet pudding and figgy pudding being old school New/English holiday standards.

Morrus already took Fairytale of New York, but this one is a sentimental fave too:

Of course. Different toys, naturally.

I used to sleep deeply as a matter of routine, and it's only in the last few years that I lost that knack. Getting it back, even for a couple/few days, has been a definite blessing.

I've been that wizard.

Only fair. I'm super jealous of you being like twice as strong as me while lower body weight. :LOL:

My main example is the Patrick O'Brien Appreciation Society on FB. Almost always scrupulously friendly, welcoming, and gentlemanly. Colloquially referred to as the gunroom, people treat each other as fellow officers on a small ship, and habitually use endearing language from the books...

I'm sleeping pretty deeply lately, in warm blankets and a cold bedroom. My knee hurts, and I want to go to the gym for a light deload session, but my car doesn't want to start in these frigid conditions. The latter is less of an emergency since I'm working from home now, but it's a PITA. Got...

Fair enough. One of them being gluten-free is important to a number of folks in my life. I had not heretofore realized that traditionally-cooked scalloped potatoes would be a hazard to my mother, due to the roux. That makes more clear to me why she's always served them au gratin, even aside...

I often see the two talked about as if they're identical, but one of those food sites I just linked says they're different, and only one of them definitionally has cheese. https://www.chowhound.com/1732848/au-gratin-vs-scalloped-potatoes/

Matt Colville's recent video on participating in communities to build a fanbase, then build and maintain your own community, seems like it might be helpful. Once you build a community, it will tend to naturally include people who have other skills you need (like, say, layout, art, or editing)...

Got around to it and enjoyed it. I appreciated going in blind and figuring it out as I went. I agree that it wasn't mind-blowing, but I enjoyed it a good deal.

Definitely. I've run multiple adventures using maps from Dyson and others where a tunnel or sub-section of a dungeon level is hidden behind/connects multiple secret doors, and I generally assume that they're not hidden from the inside of the hidden area.
