We've now completed the first ten adventures in my "Down to Erthe" campaign, and the adventures thus far are: Down Under (PCs battle sahuagin raiders underwater) Downtown Deliveries (PCs rescue kidnapped aristocrat youth from kenku rogues) Trouble in Thistledown Park (PCs deal with...

Well, we had our Thanksgiving meal today; it was a snowy day and a good day to stay in. It was just the basics: turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, peas, and corn, but that was good enough for us. Afterwards, when the leftovers were in the fridge and the dishes were in the dishwasher...

I'm just starting up Chuck Grossart's The Phoenix Descent, which starts out in 2025 (the book was published in 2016 - it'll be interesting to see how accurate he gets "the future") and features a Mars mission of astronauts in stasis returning to Earth in a damaged spacecraft, only to find...

We played through two short adventures in today's "Down to Erthe" D&D 3.5 campaign session. So: Wait, that's not a dragon! Entered dead aboleth, retrieved weapon Johnathan

My family celebrates Thanksgiving, but not always on Thanksgiving Day. That started back when I was a missileer (1987-1991); since I had small children then, I would usually volunteer to pull alert on both Thanksgiving Day and either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day if I could have both...

In last Wednesday's "Middle of Elsewhere" campaign session, the PCs: Got a full explanation of the mission they'd just completed, which entailed their memories being erased about the location of the Factory where kolyrut inevitables are created Made purchases with the money they'd earned, when...
