I am all aboard making that vol 3 (or 4 if we need an AD&D one)!

I really want a book in 2027 (or so) that follows up the recent OD&D history book and includes full reprints of Holmes and Moldvay Basics, Cook Expert, and maybe B1, B2, and X1. I would settle for a hardcover book that was just a reprint of Moldvay Basic and Cook Expert.

I preordered mine (there was a part refund from Amazon later, so it was only about $90, which is what I think they are charging for it now). Given the size, it feels like it compares very well price wise to both ttrpg books and comic reprint books.

RE: "Focused on". In terms of the book it was a few paragraphs in the introduction, and somewhat like the disclaimer on cartoon DVDs with an example given? It strikes me as strange to try read into a company celebrating an anniversary by wanting to focus on the start of the game - especially...

My guess is that it is literally the only thing listed as a dragon to do with chaos in whatever myth book he was using*. (If someone knows which one, please don't tell me for another week - I have work to catch up on instead of library diving). I am guessing the original was never portrayed as...

If I'm trying to avoid work and am pondering things like this, I sometimes try to imagine what percentile of badness I would put them at relative to their contemporaries. I generally put active policy making pushers of bad things as the worst. The discussion on EGG above covers a wide range...

Something, something, didn't fall far from the tree apparently, something.

If enough voters cared we could easily have laws about production of those necessities by monopolies and ensuring they were more ethical. :-/

Just to double check, responding with a laugh emoji to be dismissive and deride the poster is a bad thing, right? Discretion might be the better part of valor, but it isn't always as immediately fulfilling.

Just the other day my FB memories had a quote I think was from someone o ENWorld. Something like: "Sometimes clouds need to be yelled at!"

Kind of disappointed that adding context to statue signage might not help... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/why-just-adding-context-controversial-monument-may-not-change-minds-180976583/ ... but I've been happy that our University is at least trying to add some new plaques in various...

Nevermind (should have left it at my previous post and taken my own advice).

I try to limit myself to only a few topics that will push me over the edge... Curating my social media to avoid those few has been great. Amen!

Ah, now it's game theory and prognostication. How close is the thread to the end, and what's the optimal way to try and get the last word... :)

Stay at home spouse vs. tradwife ? (Using the word choices in the posts above. If it's always a stay-at-home wife while a husband works, and vice-versa is unthinkable regardless of what kind of job each could get outside of the house or what they want, then the difference feels smaller to...
