I'm not a racist, but... :D

You should check out the Dolmenwood stuff, then -- the Dolmenwood Elves are Fairy creatures built in BX/OSE. In fact, Dolmenwood leans heavily into traditional fairy tale tropes.

Why not both? If a player wants to play an Elf class, sure; if another player wants to make an Elf Thief, go ahead. They will play differently at the table; in any case, a better concern is, what is your Elf's personality beyond "I'm a thief." Because, that's pretty basic. I think the player can...

Well, I asked the AI, and Claude said it was on top of things, Gemini commiserated with me, and Mythos said... uh... I'm not sure those are meant to be sounds humans can make... I can hear colors now... The chats! The chats in the walls!!!...

Listen, we're currently watersliding our shardcubes, but unless you have full Gumbies certification, I can't offer you anything more than a temp job. Command of buzzwords or not!

That's just the heart of true fandom. The heart of true fandom is to find the thing you dislike in the thing you love very much, and to complain about it until your eyes grow dim and the sun grows cold.

That's the three-way ignore -- the third ignore is for the site itself!

Two-way ignore is a horrible feature! It means that, not only is everybody missing my posts about my new religion ("Buy Your Way to Salvation the AlHazred Way!") but I can't find out who they are in order to cyberstalk them and convert them in-person! It's a tragedy that borders on blasphemy...

Yeah, it was the early days of RPG Kickstarters and, in hindsight, it's clear he was testing the waters. I remember a lot of people at GenCon were super-excited for it, which, dice I guess? I couldn't muster enthusiasm for the product, but I have never understood how he didn't just get them...

How I would imagine it would go. Day 1: "Session Zero is very important! So important that, sometimes, it has been the only session I have needed to run! That is how efficient I am at Gamemeistering*!!!..." Day 2: "Timelines are very important! As Gary Gygax famously said, 'You can not have a...

This would be the surprised face I made if that were the case.

Oh, are the Many Fine People gathering?

I received an email two days ago letting me know there were updates in the Ken Whitman Kickstarters for Spinward Traveller and Knights of the Dinner Table, both supposed to be for live-action series. I did not bother to follow the link in the update, as I don't want to expose my computer to...

‐----------- I know we are in a new era of grifters, but of all the grifters I might have heard from... that guy? ... Hasn't he already burned all of his bridges? I mean, you've already fooled me twice, I'm too old for another go-around!

As a long-time fan of Call of Cthulhu and HPL's fiction, if I were to write up Innsmouth as a Domain, I'd probably make the Darklord Captain Obed Marsh. Apologies for the lack of spoiler tags, but in my defense, it's a 90-year-old story; people have had time to read it. In the fiction, Captain...
