Dungeon of the Mad Mage would fit very well for a TV format, IMO. It highlights a boatload of different monsters, doesn’t jump around different locations since it’s all in a dungeon, and yet that dungeon has tons of variety. Each level carries with it its own story making it very episodic in...

I agree there have been massively boneheaded decisions over the years. I think letting Dragonlance die on the vine was one of the biggest. There was a point that in terms of name recognition, the setting and characters were prime candidates for a movie or a tv show. But…it all came about in a...

My personal favorite from this...ahem...subgenre of music is Cher's Dark Lady.

I still like the song from a melody perspective and the call/response singing. I personally recognize it was written in 1950 and a lot of the subtext and turns of phrases had a different meaning then than it does today. But if someone else is bothered by it, I totally get that too.

Is this the point where someone needs to say the hobby has room for everyone? 😂

Big shout out to Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy by David Bowie and Bing Crosby!

Yes. And yes. Though on some level, I have to admire that song's totally naked attempt to get people sobbing (or rolling their eyes).

The preachiness of it is just peak-Lennon for me. It's certainly the better of the two songs (as a contrast/compare - McCartney's song sounds like airheaded drivel with terrible synth), but it's not one I care to hear over and over.

That's fine. (y)(y) I don't know - they took away my executive lounge key.

Oooooooooo Geeeeeeee Elllllllllll...... Wait, let me say it three times into a mirror for you: OGL. OGL. OGL. BOOOGA BOOOGA BOOOGA! 3 years is not a very long time for really anything to pass, particularly in a hobby where people are talking about stuff that happened back in the 70s and 80s...

Yeah, this is why for me immersion is something that groups shouldn't worry about actively trying to achieve. IMO, Immersion happens when it happens. I think it's too simplistic to place blame on something, and actually expect that it's something that can be controlled. I think when people point...

For me, the Christmas songs I actively try to avoid are any sung by Paul McCartney or John Lennon. Nothing grates on my nerves quite like "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" or "Happy Christmas (War is Over)"

True, but people have their reactions to such things. Enshitification happens. We can say it's just about making more video games or a TV series, but it can also be the impetus behind things like Project Sigil, not to mention the OGL decision process. I don't think anyone having my reaction...

I will say that Foxy Shazam did in fact have a big impact on this, but I also have David Bowie, Queen, The Struts and The Darkness to thank for this as well. :LOL:

For me, there was one remark made a couple of years ago that just kind of lingers on, and it underscores the whole corporate goal versus being a fan of the game thing - “D&D is undermonetized.” Wasn’t a great moment in corporate leadership or positioning from the perspective of a consumer of...
