Die from exposure? She got paid in exposure. I've been told many times that exposure is really more valuable than money and you should be grateful to get some. :sneaky:

One thing I will say about my typed up prep notes is that they do not include specific adventure information (which I usually run out of a module or hardcover) and I copy/paste stuff the PCs have not gotten to yet but may still have a chance to interact with from one session's notes to another...

When I was a kid and through to college years, when I would get home from a D&D session my mom would invariably ask, "Did you win?" After trying to explain too many times to expect her to get it, I just started saying, "Yes." :ROFLMAO:

I haven’t tried Heat since it was first available on video. I would try it again but if I am gonna rewatch a Val Kilmer movie it is gonna be The Doors (since i have been on a little bit of a Doors kick lately).

Whoa. I don’t remember her being in that film at all! Does she appear after the diner convo? That’s as far as I got.

I never got through Heat. Too naughty word long. “No good movie feels too long. No bad movie feels too short.”

Here you go, the notes for the most recent session of my Revenants of Saltmarsh campaign. . . the PCs actually ended up not exploring the Drowned Forest and returning to Saltmarsh with the lizardfolk queen instead.

I didn't say someone saying they dislike a playstyle (though that is also fine), I said, "Expressing a preference for a different playstyle than yours." They might not even mention the person's playstyle, but the people I am concerned for feel the need to defend it anyway.

While D&D is my preferred RPG experience, I really have a hard time grokking folks who can only look at RPGs through the D&D lens. Or even worse, only looking at all other forms/styles of D&D through their idiosyncratic lens as well.

Other people expressing a preference for a different style of play from yours is not the same as their impugning your preferred style. And if you think it does. I worry that you have made that playstyle too much a part of your identity.

It is strange that pretending to have interest in what someone else is talking about can be simultaneously polite and impolite, but it is true.

Is it? I either never noticed or forgot. I first encountered it in one of the UK modules for 1e.

Grappling without an opposed rolls robs grasping monsters of its drama. (And I mean “grasping” in both potential ways - monsters that grasp and grasping monsters).

If you read my post about this issue I literally give the caveat that I am not familiar enough with 4e to say if it might be the exception. Also, regardless of whether there is really a problem with the ranger or just an aesthetic preference, the real point to me is the contention around the...

When does the KS campaign start?

One of my favorite Dragon Covers of all time. I wrote about this issue here: Dragon Mag Monday: #92 A couple of things I discuss that you don't mention include that "Sword of Justice" (which I love and have run more than once) includes THAC0 in its stat blocks, something many people...

Something in this issue I noted in my own overview that you didn't mention, is Kim Mohan's self-contradictory editorial about non-D&D/non-TSR material in the mag, that actually helps to demonstrate how the insular and homogeneous nature of the gaming industry worked (works?). If you give...

I'm going to need to re-read my own overview of this issue and compare it to your points. I'll be back with a more specific response! You can find mine here: Dragon Mag Monday: #94

It’s all D&D to me.
