    @darjr Pinging you here because I'm not sure where else to put it, but attempting to open the instance is telling me that the certificate expired on 14 Aug and so neither Firefox nor Chrome will allow me access.

    RPG Evolution: The First Nightmare

    You used a facsimile of the Dream Stele but never mentioned it or explained its significance? tsk tsk! lol

    The instance seems to be down this evening? Attempts to open TableToot give me a "We're sorry, but something went wrong on our end." error (and an animated mastodon smashing at a keyboard) when I try, on desktop and on 'native app' on my phone. Also, the tab label in Firefox on desktop reads...

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    I have to say, as someone who's favorite setting has been Planescape since it launched in 1993, including adoring PS's tieflings, it's sure been a trip seeing these FR folks clutching their pearls about their favorite setting now.

    Swords & Wizardry Is Back With New Art And New Energy

    "Doesn't fit S&W"? S&W is just a rules set, and any preconception you -- yes, you -- happen to bring to it speaks far, far more loudly about you and your biases than it does about the game.

    BLUE ROSE Returns, Championing Diversity & Inclusiveness

    There seems to be some confusion over what "romantic fantasy" means. The genre doesn't have the laser-like focus on specifically romantic-as-in-non-platonic-relationships being assumed -- the definition is somewhat different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_fantasy So while, yes...

    What Happens If CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR Doesn't Fund?

    With that much passive aggressive attitude spilling out ("not pledging is telling the industry that you are happy with the status quo", seriously?), they certainly won't get a dime from me. To say nothing of the fool decision of running a Kickstarter with that kind of goal during the bloody...

    D&D 5E Why are vague rules praised?

    Because it's not "vagueness", it's giving the wiggle-room needed to not have to codify everything in sight. After too many years of dealing with people on both sides of the screen doing and expecting exactly that, 5e is a blessed breath of fresh air. Not everything needs to be pinned down in...

    Does anybody else dislike the Warrior cat adventure game?

    I think it doesn't need to have any more than it does; it's a simple framework for youngsters who might want to play as characters from their favorite stories. It doesn't need more stats or more knacks, or anything else like that, because it's all just as I said, a framework for young fans to...

    Did you get the welcome email after signing up for playtesting?

    I received an email virtually immediately also.

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    Hardly. The OP tarred an entire group with a single brush. I'm telling the OP that the OP is wrong. If I didn't also play at a table, I would hardly be here on ENWorld, now would I? Good try at putting words in my mouth, though. *tips hat, moves along*

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    Oh please, not another one of these again. I suppose it's time to crawl out of my den of lurkerdom and address this tired and tiresome handwringing before disappearing once more into the ether. I'm not addressing the WotC subject here; on that, I don't really give a damn. It's the other slant...

    1E/2E/OD&D, 4E, and finally 3E

    In an amusing fit of prescience, I'd made the decision to return to 2e a scant two months before 4e was announced. I like 3e well enough, but it's quite frankly too time-consuming, balance obsessed and packed with Godzilla-sized statblocks for my comfort. 2e gives me everything I want, and...

    Simulationists, Black Boxes, and 4e

    Salt has, historically, quite often been a highly valued commodity. We in the modern world tend to take it for granted, but salt was critically important for many many cultures including the pre-industrialized West. So much so, that the word "salary" derives from the Latin salarium, which...

    OK... that's just vulgar...

    Nope, nothing. All I see in the haze is the distinct outline of a gape-jawed skull, starting underneath the right-hand quillion ...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder's Kobolds

    Paizo's kobolds may be based on a damned ugly dog, but somehow they remind me more of Gremlins. (as in the movie.) Can't wait to see the green one ;)
