I'm saying it could be that we typically think of Sturm or Huma when thinking of Solamniac knights, and that mustaches are/were common with them, that it mutated into "all Knights of Solamnia must have mustaches." I've been trying to look for mustache mentions in the Heroes of the Lance and...

I know nothing of how THAC0 works beyond that armor, weapons, and bonuses are supposed to lower it and that you want it to either hit 0 or in the negatives to have a character that can barely be hit by enemies or attacks. Probably. Sturm had a mustache, and considering how he pretty much is the...

His THAC0 is pretty high. I guess that means he's relatively easy to hit?

They should've had tinker gnomes or mages develop some sort of paste female recruits could spread on their upper lip to grow luxurious mustaches. Gives them that great Larry Elmore mustache.

Does that mean he's Vader with a pornstache essentially?

It's an iconic look for them, even in-setting. Sometimes makes me wish they made it so those who normally can't grow mustaches, like women, would need a special paste to spread on their upper lip to grow a luxurious mustache. And as the months pass, it slowly fades and fall off before they...

He's described as having a mustache, though not as grand as the others: Also, mustaches seem to be "popular":

Wouldn't a khopesh have better fit a "sickle" than a scimitar? And why couldn't Gygax have just added in a sickle as a weapon?

I hear a big issue is the ludicrous amounts of everything requiring megadamage weapons or something?

How is the Palladium game system doing? I've heard so much of how screwed up the rules are, how Siembieda backseat GMing in the rulebooks was annoying, how silly the Mach numbers in space were, how rigid the metaplot was, and so on it's a wonder they're still in business.

Honestly I kind of wonder if a problem with a lot of these 1980s-setting shows and movies, is that producers reference them more compared to the actual 1980s or anything. Like you think say, colleges in the 1980s were all frat parties or something because you watched a ton of 1980s movies...

I recall it was an oversensationalized kidnapping and murder of a 6-year old girl (news channels kept on playing it again and again) that helped set the stage for parents becoming a lot more clingy toward kids nowadays.

Definitely a fun trailer. Someone once said that D&D is pretty "superheroish." Maybe it's because I watched Thor: Love and Thunder not too long ago, but now I'm wondering if the MCU borrowed the sort of fantasy look from D&D in a sense. Like seriously, I wouldn't have been surprised if this...

Earlier I guess. What are the big changes for 5e Ravenloft? I've heard itbwasn't considered a great conversion? Dark Sun has breakage issues for weapons (and armor I think) and extreme heat. Hence why metal weapons are especially prized for their ability to go through the armors of the setting...

I have to admit unfortunately, perhaps due to Forgotten Realms borrowing quite a bit from Greyhawk, that Greyhawk & Forgotten Realms feel somewhat interchangeable in some ways.

Tone, culture, and tech level. From what I've read of Ravenloft, the Domains are far more humanocentric, the tech level feels more distinctly Renaissance (guns are bigger thing), and it leans more on gothic horror tropes and such.

So is this only going to show in San Diego? Or will there be a wider showing after the San Diego Comic Con?

I thought it would've been Aramaic? Wasn't that the lingua franca of the area?

I wonder if, due to being set in the Roman Empire, whether this book may also emphasize how tough travel back then really was, even on well-established routes.

Please do so. It would be interesting to see how it is. Were they afraid players would try to kill him like they did with the gods in Forgotten Realms once they, and not their avatars, were given stats? :P
