I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. I dread that day myself.

And a whole bunch of stuff on folklore and mythology. And Shakespeare.

I would like to see actual examples of what's happening, but because NCOSE and Collective Shout are involved, it would be unsurprising to see them banned just because they have LGBT representation in the product.

Ah, it looks like Collective Shout has partnered with the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE). To avoid politics, I'll let you google them and form your own opinions on the "righteousness" of their agenda. I'm getting flashbacks of the Satanic Panic from the 80s.

I rarely go to theaters any longer, but it looks interesting. I mean, you know what you're getting here.

No, otherwise they'd be just boxed sets of the game. A starter set, by name, usually implies limited rules.

One thing I like about those books from the 60s and 70s is that they are less than 200 pages typically. It makes a quick read. A great option if you want to read a book quickly

Supposedly that would be Odin in the picture, so I guess he can do what he wants.
