I've had the PCs show up at a specific place, at a specific time, all having received letters suggesting they should be there, then. The contagious cultists appeared like fifteen minutes into the session, and we were off. These days, I tend to have the PCs starting as long-term residents of a...

Yeah, fats all melt differently, that makes sense. The dumplings at least might not be so seaonal-specific, I'd think you could get suet other times of year, maybe just with more lead time? (Clearly you've found a butcher who'll know. Huzzah!)

All right, so now I'm going to ask what you're using it for. What are you using it for? (I know it as a bird feeder thing, we get it regularly for that, I'm not suggesting you use bird food.)

Not related to the above, really not even this site: I do not think I can say I'm happy those people found fun in a game I wouldn't want to play in, without sounding as though I'm crapping in their cereal; I'd rather say nothing than be misunderstood.

Unrelated to the above: That seems very worst-case scenario, it has a strong Crash at Crush vibe to it.

I've seen color pics, and ... 👀

When they shot black-and-white, it wasn't all that unusual for sets, props, and costumes to be some striking colors, because all they needed/wanted was to get the values right.

Look THOT and Thoth and tots probably would use different toys, I have no problem with any of them getting toys if they want them.

I personally wouldn't have a problem GMing for that wizard.

Yeah, I ran a campaign in Cypher, and I A) never Intruded, except on a Nat 1 and I B) hacked the XP system to use something like Dungeon World's questions--basically, the idea was the PCs earned XP for me "doing GM stuff" and they earned XP for "doing PC stuff," and I C) told them what every...

Unrelated to the above (as far as I know, anyway): Well, that conversation took a sharp turn to a worthless argument. Y'all have fun with that!

And I hope I've been clear that's good! I know of kvass, but it's one of the smallish number of beer styles I haven't tried. And the big beer companies are just that kind of ... crap. Fortunately, there are breweries that are more locally owned (even if not necessarily owned local to where I...

I've never been able to make published adventures make the sort of sense I need them to make in my head, for me to feel comfortable running them. Literally everything I've run in 5e has been homebrewed, including the setting. I literally do not think I could run a long published adventure. At...

I've had some ciders that I enjoyed, but it's not my primary thing, I couldn't tell you which ciders those were.

In principle, it's possible to have enough grounding in TRPGs that you can comment on a game that you've read but not played (general "you" all around) but in practice almost no one has that much grounding in TRPGs, most will have some element of play that will turn out to work differently at...
