    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    Yeah I think I overstated it a bit but I was vaguely remembering this passage: "I am very old, oh man of the waste countries; long and long ago I came to this planet with others of my world, from the green planet Yag, which circles for ever in the outer fringe of this universe. We swept through...

    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    Didn't one of REH Conan stories have a wizard from outer space? And Saber Hagen's book of swords turns out to be techno not magic right? (It's been so long since I read them I may be confused on that one)

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I thought it was a weird yet possibly cool start to a new play by post game. Morris could be a computer running constant simulations and spitting out the percentages. Umbran would be the crack black ops guy running the missions. And Danny A is the retired gamer in hiding who knows more than is safe.

    What do you love about The Wheel of Time?

    What are you reading in 2025?

    So I'm not the only one that gets stressed reading for pleasure? These multi 700 page books have about made me quit reading fiction for pleasure. But then I circle back to sci-fi and fantasy of the 60s-80s and feel better. I am currently reading The Postman by Brian (inspired by the post...

    Spoilers What do people get wrong about Tolkien?

    Some people (GRR Martin) should know that the professor was writing mythology not historical fiction and as such tax tables in the Fourth Age are not really called for.

    Spoilers What do people get wrong about Tolkien?

    While I haven't confronted anyone over the point, I'm pretty sure a lot of people totally misunderstand "Not all who wander are lost".

    Yep my grandad did that and used buttermilk. Absolutely horrid. But it was a great for him.

    My mom made a chocolate gravy that we would put over biscuits. Man, only on special occasions, but it rocked.
