I mean, I wouldn't call it "love" -- it was more of a casual fling!

I don't know if I agree with this. There were seven alternate paladins in that article, to complement the Lawful Good paladin and the Chaotic Evil anti-paladin (which is the probable actual worst name of the bunch): The Lawful Evil Illrigger. The Neutral Good Myrikhan seem like sort-of...

"YOU NOT KNOW DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM?!?" splits patron in two with greatsword cleave

There was a Will Shetterly novel from 1986, Witch Blood, that made me see how to incorporate monks into a European-inspired fantasy setting, if you want to remove the Asian flavor. As it is, most people don't take into account the amount of travel and cross-pollination people have always had on...

New Years Resolutions 2025

Counterpoint: in engineering school, I had an instructor who would frequently say, "This report is too short! Who wrote this?" He was of the opinion that length made the reports seem more weighty and well-considered. I have a suspicion he was, at one time, employed in an industry that paid by...

True. More about expressing frustration with specific threads, without mentioning the thread. I forget that because I never know the thread people are talking about.

I don't generally poke fun at any specific person, despite that being the purpose of this thread. If I make fun, it's at trends and attitudes, some of which I agree with even as I'm making fun of their quirks. Because it's a game and shouldn't be taken too seriously by anyone.

I wish the rest of you would stop acting like player characters survive to 4th level. I've been running for 40 years, and in all that time, I've always managed to kill off characters when they reach 3rd level, if not earlier. I feel like people didn't read the subtext of Basic D&D -- the rules...

About a week before Christmas, the local water company here sent me a robocall to let me know they were aware of odor and taste issues with my local water. My wife is hypersensitive to those things and hasn't noticed any issues. They have called every day since then to let me know they are...

I hear a lot of criticism and still don't have any figgy pudding in my hands! @Gradine make with the figgy pudding! Now!

From Hell uses as Jack the Ripper The Masonic elements in the book and movie are pretty good fodder for games, though!

"Irony"? Is that one of the new slang terms hitting the OED? I don't think I ever learned about it in the US... Anyway, mad rizz for using it in a jif!

That's merely my method of communication, sir! Fie, on your disdain!

No. I refer you to my post above:

My next new thread, "Isn't It Time to Uncancel Certain Unjustly Accused Creators?", is practically guaranteed to auto-lock almost instantly, if it makes you feel better.

A certain person has decided to organize fans of his work to brigade otherwise-neutral gaming sites. I'm left wondering, how would I tell if they were able to do their business here? I mostly just keep to this thread -- they're unlikely to go here!

I don't think the MTV Death Match guys bothered themselves much with concepts like copyright or trademark...

So, we start with Tintin The Unnamable, which should probably just be Tintin and his dog, and some generic foil character. I suppose several Weird Adventures will have to wait for Captain Haddock or Professor Calculus to hit PD (the latter won't be until 2042). But Milou appeared with Tintin in...

In 2025, Tintin will enter the Public Domain. In 2018, the late Murray Groat came up with these evocative covers. Who knows? Maybe we can finally get stories to go along with the covers?
