In reading through your old February post, how often do you find yourself using Good Ideas nowadays?

Bravo! One (super) minor quibble: I don't know if I would have had the candle/reagent explosion happen without a failed test of some kind. I find that my GMing style with TB is far more reactive than any other game I've really played, and when I have clever ideas like that I always try to bank...

Lost, and there are wolves...

One step forward, two back.

Oof, that is way out in the middle. 125 miles to either Portland or Seattle though... Just a little bit of a drive to support your habit. What about Aberdeen, how hard of a trip is that for you? Looks like there are a couple of shops up there that support in store gaming.

I'm fairly certain this is a fantasy most gamers have had. I know I have it alllllll the freaking time. I'm well outside of the target demographic for most of these places. I'm not a drinker and (outside of the apocalypse) my house is my circle of friends' gaming haven. I've been to...

Speaking with the authority* of my triple art degree, this one's my fav. * (my triple art degree doesn't give me a lot of chances to speak with authority)

The first one makes it look like a bad photoshop job of making the T Rex hold the book in its mouth. Between the two, I prefer the second one, but it would be better if all the books had the same orientation. The cover art of the robot and...dino cop(?) itself is good, is there a reason not to...

I think I wandered into this same conversation over on Reddit. If I did, forgive me if I'm accidentally repeating myself and not just recounting some imaginary post I answered in a dream. Why are the monsters there and why are they attacking the PCs? Is there a reason why the fight is happening?

Not sure if you read it or not, but "The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack" might tickle your fancy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strange_Affair_of_Spring-Heeled_Jack

Sorry if this opens up a can of worms, but the world needs more overcautious people right now. Getting vaccinated makes you less likely to catch and transmit, it doesn't make you immune. Hanging out with other vaccinated people is safer, not safe. My virtual play hasn't involved battlemaps...

I absolutely love the setting of Rifts. I have never ever ever come across a game that someone else was running however that sat well with me. The first time I ever tried a play by post forum game, it was a Rifts Atlantis "Splugorth prison break" game. For those not familiar, they're one of...

Serious campaigns that lasted more than two or three sessions I can count on one hand.

I'm well past 300 once you start adding in conventions, LARPs, and mega games. Every circle of friends that I've ever had outside of my current occupation has branched into at least one RPG group. I stood at about 30-40 people between 6 groups before I went to college. At college, I ran the...

"The Irregulars" by itself was enough of a hint for me, but I've been on a Sherlock Holmes kick for most of the pandemic so it's all pretty close to the surface. I was kind of surprised though that they didn't approach it from the angle of a teen-aged Sherlock and instead opted for the "Holmes...

Not only is the gore part of the deal, it's part of the statement the show is trying to make. It's meant to jar you out of your initial expectations on purpose. It's not there to be edgy, it's there to drive home the fact that the subject matter, and the people involved are horrible.

I found it odd, because I think this is the first supernatural/Sherlock Holmes mashup that I have NOT enjoyed. I think that if it had had just a smidge less CW in it, I might have watched more than an episode.
