    Being popular and successful doesn't prevent you from being criticized.

    I’m sorry, I forgot CR had a special aura power that prevented them from being critized in any shape or form, on EnWorld. I won’t do it again, promise. :p

    Sam, effectively used his rope to great effect in a prior episode of Umbra. He remembered then. I guess it was the stress of the situation. He just failed a strenght roll.

    No-one? You don’t play with the same people I do. They remember.

    And yet, they often go shopping for bag of nails and other mundane equipment. I disagree with you.

    Fascinating how a 10 years plus RPG veteran looks at his skills and power cards but forget he has a rope to help his friends climb a fortress wall. The GM has to remind him.

    So you're done with D&D but still want to play D&Dish fantasy...

    Fantasy AGE and Shadow of the Demon Lord/ Weird Wizard are two D&D adjacent games I play instead of curent D&D. They have classes amd levels but work very differently.

    Indeed. I don’t see Dragonbane as a D&D alternative. People who go in Dragonbane thinking it’s a simpler D&D alternative often hit a wall or they start turning it into a frankendragon hybrid. We see that all the time in the FB group. Edit: Dragonbane is for those who are truly done with D&Disms.

    Phases of Growth in Game Design

    Step 1) I have D&D BX verbatim with a house rule document. Never going to publish that. It would satisfy no one. Step 2) Never hear of that one, but I've discovered many of my 'clever ideas' appeared in other RPGs a read. I'm fine with that as it confirms I'm not totally clueless. Step 3) I've...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    Mostly, warehouses with sorting equipment, fork lifts and shelving. Maybe a truck fleet but I doubt it. They probably use local delivery companies. In the travel industry we had a similar system for travel brochures. A single company owned warehouses across the country. They stored brochures...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My father said Tim Horton's used to have an automatic renovation program after a number of years but it was scrapped after the acquisition. They go to a local coffee shop in the small mall near their senior home.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I always found the 80s McDonalds very ugly and tacky. No nostalgia for that. Architecture is prone to fashion trends. Companies that want to look up to date follow these trends. Customers can tell by looking at a store how long ago it was built. For a mom & pop shop, to look like an 80s store...
