May her memory be for a blessing. May her legacy live on.

Irony may be a fundamental building block of the universe. I have seen major blunders by companies. As an ex-reporter, I hate layoffs and have to wonder how the media market will adapt to the new challenges. As for D&D, things are not as dire as when TSR stopped publishing. (I remember that...

I feel profoundly sad for the employees who got their pink slips and hope that they will be well. I suspect that some of them are already talking to other companies. I have seen good companies suffer from bad decisions and poor leadership. I guess the next short-term test for Hasbro and WotC...

It would be a great thing to have at a PFS table or walk around with at a convention. Plus, it is rather stylish. I can definitely see a few cosplayers wanting to get one.

Happy GM's Day!!! Thanks to Mark Clover for championing this day! Thanks to Mark and all the other GMs that I have gamed with or met through the years. I have helped a few people in the past year become GMs, and it is a pleasure seeing our hobby continuing with new players. (I have some GMs in...

Rest in peace, Jeff!! We have lost too many good people this year.

Happy GM's Day. I would like to thank MarkCMG for kicking this off and being a great GM. Also, my thanks to the GMs whom I have played with in the last 35-plus years of gaming.

It is thread necromancy, but perhaps we can learn to value each other, regardless of our differences. I have not heard anything from his family, so I suspect that our community and Circvs Maximus are really the only memorial he had.

Creamsteak, good to see you but I wished that it was under better circumstances. I have hear nothing from Edena's family. I like to think that the good that we do lives on afterwards. I had a lot of fun with the games here and talking with him. May he rest in peace and may all of us here be...

I first began playing Dungeons and Dragons in 1980, with some classmates from high school. My first character, Saruk, was a monk and the adventure was a bad rip off of the Lord of the Rings. Still, I had fun and continued gaming. Over the years I have met many friends through gaming and got...

The drow on Golarion have a separate origin than the drow of Tori or Oerth, in that the drow of Golarion went into the Darklands circa -10,000 Arbsalom Reckoning, nearly 15,000 years ago. There, they changed under the influence of Rovagug. Thus, the drow of Golarion, in terms of their having...

We seldom know what others are going through in their private lives. We all have our struggles. I think that we do have to be considerate of each other. Later today, I am going to GM a game for Pathfinder Society. I will think about Terry while I run it.

The Pathfinder Wiki has some good background articles: Drow, Sekamina and Zirnakaynin.

Henry it is hard to believe that they are gone. I really did not get many details from the police when they responded to my request for a wellness check. I know that Terry was very distraught with his own declining health and that of his mother.

Contacting old friends I took some time to look at some of Terry's posts and contacted a few members who have not been active of late, so that they might come here and post. Thank all of you for your kind words.
