Sadly, no. A blown joke is the most fatal blow of all, as surely as if he failed his resurrection survival check.

Nonsense! There's a sneak peak of the upcoming Unearthed Arcana right on the front page - it's totally allowed! Man, I can't wait for 1e - it sounds like it's REALLY cleaning up some of the OD&D rules that I hated, and going back to the Chainmail roots that the game was drifting away from. And...

Every time you give away a joke, somewhere a planetar cries.

If so, he's gonna be pissed when he goes to get something out of his backpack.

I for one welcome our old-school overlords!

You're not clear. When he mentions "female players" finding it embarrassing, I think he's referring specifically to female players in that situation, i.e., his wife.

The part of me that slows down to watch car crashes says for you to do this, and make sure that the first she finds out about it is when you announce it in the game. That part also wants you to let us know how it goes, in delicious detail. The smaller part of me that sometimes tries to give...

That's what she said.

Just FYI, if you see "Whack-A-Mod" spraypainted on the side of a windowless old van parked at a rest stop, do NOT climb into the van - it's not the game you think it is. Rel destroyed my innocence that day.

Any player may attempt to move a thread as desired - is not such action the very meat and drink of heroic fantasy? However, as adjudicator and sole authority of his crafted milieu, it falls fully upon the capable shoulders of the Dungeon Master to determine the result of any attempt to do so, be...

No, no, "primate" would also be appropriate. One of the definitions is: See? You can now legally smack down your players! I suggest a TPK to put 'em in their place. ;)

Oh, nonsense. Hell, everyone gets penalties now and then! Should Elf Witch make sure that characters are only rolling dice in optimal situations where no one will ever get penalized? The penalties were entirely appropriate - presumably, the player knew about the prejudices against his race...

You can dedicate a software patch to someone?

Oh, I'm not questioning whether anyone successfully plays that way - I've grudgingly accepted that not everyone enjoys the same things I do (inexplicably). I'm just saying that for me - and I would imagine a fair amount of other people - this kind of rule is something I wouldn't be willing to go...

I think the problem there is more one of Dave being a dick rather than one of "allowing" players to speak out of turn. Honestly, being restricted to speaking in character only when it's my turn would probably be a deal-breaker for me in terms of playing with such a group - whether intentional or...

Remember kids, only a trained professional should try imaginary surgery!

Ah, see, your mistake here is that flumphs don't make a cool ANYTHING. You could throw a flumph into a bucket of liquid nitrogen (and should!) and then ship the whole mess to Antarctica, and he STILL wouldn't be cool. They should have the babbler in there, because I always loved the FF picture...

Canada is crazy, MGM! Did you know that Alanis Morrisette is their Minister of Rockology, and the kids eat poutine EVERY DAY for lunch?

The Conan stories Fafhrd and Grey Mouser Some of Clark Ashton Smith's fantasy

Is that correct? I thought it was that the non-paying companies can't publish anything until 6 months after rules release, not that the paying companies get the rules six months early. Otherwise, those guys would have the rules already.
