Oh- I have a question. Do the DCC adventures take place in some sort of canonical setting? Like is there a map that shows where Sagar-Matha is in relation to Punjar, or things like that? Maybe it’s in the core rule book which I don’t have yet?

Awesome, great to know :) One less thing for me to think about! :D

I started reading the dying earth by Jack Vance just the other day. I haven't really been reading at all since we had a kid a few years back. It's been really cool to just... read. And the stories- man, they're weird! I'm reading it to see if I'm interested in the Dying Earth boxed set for...

I think I’ve been bitten by the DCC bug. I suddenly find their stuff really compelling and I’m still feeling grumpy towards hasbro. I signed up to get notified for the backerkit launch in a month. Now I’m going to go read the quick start pdf. What am I getting myself into??

The article did say the designs aren’t final, so there’s hope i guess? 🤣

Oops i posted same thing before I saw this. I’m so excited!

Well, I think you win- that's awesome!

oh yeah, I get bitten by that ALL the time. My wife made fun of me a while back when I mispronounced virile as viral. Oof. And brassiere vs brassier.

I had to look up the central limit theorem, and keep looking until I found a version I understood. Found one here: https://statisticsbyjim.com/basics/central-limit-theorem/ That is fascinating- I took statistics in college, but it’s been a long time and it never really stuck with me. Also I...

Looking back now, I can’t recall how I played. I know I always had a 1st level magic user and had the same issue. But I was having so much fun. I wonder if it was because it was all new to me and it’s not like I had tons of other entertainment options?

I never tried hex editing save files, but lots of the first programs I ever wrote drew random lines in random directions on the screen and the colors were limited to earth and water colors so I could generate cool maps. Very much inspired by D&D. This back in the late 80’s or early 90’s.

Interestingly, I don’t play enough these days to say I get to work on management skills. For me it’s primarily been empathy and vocabulary. Kind of cool that everyone can get such different things from the same hobby.

Boy that sounds familiar. The AD&D DMG is filled with words that aren’t really used anywhere. I learned e.g. and i.e. by finally looking them up after seeing them so often!

Well I’ll be- I haven’t seen that before. I don’t know how I feel about learning two things in one day!

I’m reading Turn of Fortune’s Wheel. There is a table of various contests the PCs can compete in while in the gate town. One contest was Flyting. When I saw that, I thought it was a typo, but I looked it up, and nope- not a typo! I learned a new word! What words have you learned from D&D? Or...

can you draw me a map of a castle floor plan on a grid of squares like would be used for D&D

I asked it to make me a castle map like you would use in D&D pretty cool!

I remember #7! I loved that idea, though never played it: https://adventurelookup.com/adventures/jacobs-well
