My first tabletop FRPGs 1977-1987, in order: AD&D Basic D&D The Fantasy Trip/In the Labyrinth Stormbringer (In that same time, I also got into Classic Traveller and Champions.) Over time, I played & enjoyed other non-D&D TTFRPGs, with Fantasy HERO being my favorite.

I personally prefer that they do, but recognize that it’s not necessary.

Maybe, maybe not. But they may not care. Last year, I heard a cover of a song I knew pretty well being used in advertising something like a grocery store or department store. The song in question eventually becomes pretty raunchy. But it was 100% clean in the snippet they covered for the ad-...

Classic song, covered by (semi) trendy artist, with the samples selection featuring the pre-launch & launch lyrics from the beginning of the song. It matches the imagery of the tech-loaded car “launching”. The classic song appeals to older car buyers who would have the money to buy that...

RE: 70s/80s/90s music One of my degrees is an MBA in Sports & Entertainment Marketing. So- between that and my lifelong music obsession- I’m alway paying attention to the music used in ads, marketing, and places of business. It tells you something about who they’re trying to appeal to...

Back in the 70s & 80s, I always used to hit the Engineering school’s section of the college book stores for most of my graph paper needs.

Mod Note: @Emberashh @pemerton I’m thinking disengagement from each other would be a great idea. If you both want to continue interacting with others in this thread, perhaps even using your respective accounts’ ignore lists would be in order as well.

Mod Note: To anyone and everyone posting in this thread: I’m not closing it at the moment. However, the context of other recent threads plus the tone and content of this one’s original post make me doubt that this thread was started with actual civil discourse and constructive discussion in...

Depends on what you want. Personally, I like several of the chains’ take on fried chicken. My early childhood in 1970s NOLA was all about Church’s & Popeye’s. When we started moving around, we found KFC & Grandy’s. And over the past few years, we’ve tried Golden Chick and Chicken Express...

Side note: I only found out that ska predated reggae about 10 years ago when I got a music question wrong in a music trivia contest. Surprised the heck out of me.

What can I say? I’m a music fiend. I know there’s bigger collections out there, but they don’t belong to anyone I know personally.

The last time I played a PC with a giant space hamster mount (“Mithril”) was when the original Spelljammer came out. And his rider (“The Gnome Ranger”) was small enough that I didn’t really care about the GSH’s carrying capacity. Well…not beyond his ability to carry an unconscious human off...

A Dire Giant Space Hamster? Some kind of construct?

I can go vegetarian for any arbitrarily long period of time, because I genuinely like veggies. Couldn’t be a vegan, though. I enjoy my dairy (especially cheese) & honey too much.

Well, if you gave me 100 to work with, I MIGHT be able to pare down my list to that number!😜 For context:

There’s a couple I got VERY lucky with. I attended one that was hosted in an office tower’s “penthouse level” private club/restaurant where the buffet was so good, I made a public pig of myself. I wasn’t alone in my spectacle, though- that was the predominant grazing behavior of most of the...

In 2Ed, there were only 2 “nonstandard” races I used for a PC. The first was a Drow Druid/Rgr/MU* and the second was a Minotaur Ftr/MU. * FWIW, created right after a couple of Dragon Magazine articles offering those options- years before Drizzt was ever published.

The ONLY D&D game I could POSSIBLY have played “by the book” was the very first one. Since I was a newbie player (not the DM), and didn’t even own the DMG at that point, I have no way of knowing how close to RAW it was run. Every D&D game I can think of since then (1977) has in some kind of HR.
