Read the story / watch the show and find out.

Honestly, I think these are the best stories in GRRM's Westerosi fiction, and I hope HBO does them justice. I really like the "zoomed in" focus on a few key characters and seeing the "real" world, not just the machinations of nobility. The trailer is pretty promising. Behind it all are huge...

I haven't actually played an RPG in quite a while ... since the early days of 5E, IIRC. Still gaming, just more miniature wargames, card games, and board games. While I do miss RPGs, I find the other gaming is more flexible for time invested.

Oh that's awesome. I may need to do that.

Also planning The Forest and the Oracle: Faerun Drift as well as Forest & Oracle. But I'll wait for The Fate of the Forest

Return to the Dungeons of Castle Greyhawk.

I wouldn't use hit points for this, but I have used "hero points" in a campaign for something similar. Start with three; regen one when you gain a level. There were some limits on how they could be used so they weren't absolute plot armor, but could certainly be used to affect events significantly.

Whoa, triple necro ... I still stand by my comment from a decade ago. Fun module; big bang at the beginning.

Such a great game. Loved the character creation minigame, death and all.

CarWars? CarWars. Modern version: Gaslands.

Plus Bilbo notes the big giant bees that if they stung him he'd swell up to twice his size.

Very much depends on the quality and content of the series for me. I finally finished Feist's Multi-War (Riftwar, Serpentwar, etc) series recently. The latter part was meh, but Riftwar through Serpentwar are great. I liked Eddings' various series. Wheel of Time I only got through books 6-10 on...

I'm still waiting for the Hardware Wars sequel.

Greenland 2: Frozen Boogaloo?

The downfall of Lord of the Rings is the lack of explanation of Aragorn's trade policy.
