“I think they're very clever, they're trying to confuse us to death.”

The periodic table is a myth. Pure electrum seems just as plausible as mithril, adamantium, Khyber crystals, dragonshards, and platinum. After decades of electrum’s exclusive use as treasure chest packing material, I’m thrilled someone’s finally found a better use for the stuff!

I loved the 4e PHB3 Minotaur. Wanted to play one of those. And the gith.

Sold. Thanks, Whizbang! (Actually, you sold me on it a fair while back - but the printed version was out of stock then; it is in stock now!)

So: Was “Dragonlance” inspired by a mishearing of “Dragonlands”?

See, with extreme caution, the Polynesian orcs of X8 Drums on Fire Mountain. (Which has some fabulous locations, maps, and encounters! But is… eesh. I’ve been meaning to see if I can reframe it as an undead thing? Or maybe a mad scientist/clockwork/insect thing? Something far, far away from its...

I was not complaining; I like the change and pointed out reasons I like the change.

I dunno; I agree it could be ‘change for change’s sake’, but while it does go against established lore, I see some opportunities in it. First, it creates a clearer narrative distinction between monster humanoid species. It’s good to have something to strongly distinguish goblins from kobolds...

I believe the largest set of paper buildings was in 1989’s Forgotten Realms Cities of Mystery. There were also some with a couple hybrid “AC” Basic D&D products, IIRC. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/16815/fr8-cities-of-mystery-2e

The castle was tiny but mighty! IIRC, the towers were about 1” tall. Even 10-15mm minis would be giants. I loved that little castle.

Blackadder did not die in his third series finale! He was promoted. The (other) difference I meant re: the Forth finale is that it was a poignant ending which spoke to the larger experience of the actual victims of WWI. The previous Blackadders' deaths had been personal, and more purely comic.

The classic British sitcoms which made it to the U.S. in the 70's/80's had a pretty high rate of good endings. Black Adder did it especially well. I wonder if they had not come up with that ending, might they have written another season at some point? I'd also praise Fawlty Towers and The...

We’re about to attend Minnesota’s greatest Christmas gift of all, The 17th annual New Standards Holiday Show: The New Standards Holiday Show (2014 PBS broadcast) I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s a jazzy post-punk big band extravaganza. And they made a great Christmas album:

I really like my DTRPG reprint of Cook’s BX Expert: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/110792/d-d-expert-set-rulebook-b-x-ed-basic I don’t get why they haven’t done the same for Moldvay’s Basic.

Thast’s a good idea, darjr! It also has me thinking: Perhaps I might get my OSE (re-)printed at 8.5x11? Those little books give me eye strain.

I really enjoy Kobold’s monster books - I find their entries inspiring, and I especially like how they integrate with their sourcebooks/adventure books. Especially Tales of the Old Margreve. So a Kobold book is an easier sell for me. I’m pledged for the Goodman monster book, 5e version, but I’m...

Me too! 11 yrs old, Boy Scouts (Camp Phillips, Wisconsin). Summer 1981. Changed my life for the infinitely better! 💖

Thanks for sharing! This pattern makes sense to me, given your long KS publishing track record. Most of the pledges I make are to people I've bought from before: you, Sly Flourish, Goodman, Kobold, Necrotic Gnome, Rod Waibel, Free League, etc. And I usually pledge (or not) on these on Day 1...
