I'm reminded of the Dexter's Lab D&D episode where the one guy "still has some magic elixir"

Please be soon.

I'd say the cool thing about fantasy role playing is you rarely need a license at all. I forget the company that made "potions" and "mana potions" in plastic spherical bottles that tasted like cough syrup mixed with poison and then there's like the Mythical Meats company and the company that...

The library is its own plane? Very Borges.

I tend to like silly themed dice, but man, readability takes a huge priority over "cute" design. I've also seen a bunch of youtubes where people have convinced me that as long as dice are reasonably well manufactured, they will give you statistically good rolls, so I'll go for mid-range dice...

Yeah, this kind of worldbuilding stuff is very cool. Even in my very off-the-cuff game we've had some memorable restaurants and taverns and I try to paint them of different styles and types (pseudo-renaissance D&D rather than cyberpunk) but stuff like this is very fun and helpful for ideas.

Oooh, they went with rhombic D12s. I don't know why those fascinate me but they do.

I'm not about to join, much less run, a public game, but nevertheless I enjoy seeing the things you have to think about and how you resolve some of these items.

Vampires are always such messy eaters. I hope he didn't get any blood in that white fur. It's murder to get out.

I loved that series as a teenager. It was only later that I found out he had reused the titles of actual classic Chinese stories as his book titles, which only makes me like them more.

So you mention 2 "angles." Is the dungeon skinned more than one way or is that really the background the players approach it from and what skills and resources are available to them from the start? And thank you for the info!

Jewel in the Sky has the thing where you can run it as sci-fi or straight fantasy, which I guess means it has two skins to it?

The main hall has a lot of vendors from people selling weapon props and fancy dice to local artists selling prints and stickers and local authors selling books. Also T-shirts, brass plaques, tapestries, whatever nerdy stuff you can think of. Also, as I mentioned, there's a lot of panels that...

Ah, I was skipping him over lack of interest in that particular Trek show, cool as he is. Yeah, I've seen some amazing people. Sometimes it's startling how few people show up for some of them. I've seen both Michael Biehn and Chris Sarandon in half empty side rooms, and I was a little shocked...

It's definitely on the verge of being "too big" in some ways: if there are two big panels in the main room you want to attend in a row, it can be impossible (They will clear you out of the room after the one panel to wait in line, which will already have piled up by then and you won't be able to...
