    TSR Who's running the TSR3 social media accounts?

    TSR2 now Solarian Games. They are fast on their feet. Congrats to them. Love the 80s retro look of their new logo.

    Black Lightning (season 4)

    Watched the first two episodes last night. A strong and dark beginning. The scene with the two policemen is ten times more satisfying than the one in Falcon.

    D&D General A Venn Diagram Poll About D&D

    I depends of what kind of player you have in your group. System mastery is pretty high in my group. So it's mostly fun 95%. I do have one player who frequently goes off on non-D&D tangents during the game. We bring him back to the game quickly. With only 3 hours to play on VTT there is no time...

    Favorite Non-HP Health/Damage System?

    The original Cortex had condition two tracks. One for physical damage and one for stun damage. You can fall unconscious from stun damage even if you are uninjured. Very good for gritty games. Fortunately stun damage is recovered from quickly.

    TSR TSR (2) Confirms TSR (3)'s Acquisition of Trademark (Updated!)

    My (unfounded) theory on the list of names is that some portion of the book was pulled out last minute but they still had to supply the same number of pages to the printer. Even if it wasn't it's a hatched job to fill space. We are not in the 80s anymore. People can look up name in the internet.

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    I would say its a TSR3 coordinated marketing campaign designed to boost sales of Giant Lands for the first print. Raising their profile and getting a portion of the old D&D player guard angered will do that. People vote with their money. They are the intended market after all. It's a very short...

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    He gets killed in numerous unfunny ways. It was the game designers responding to WoTC marketing forcing them to put Regdar on the cover. They wanted a more multi-cultural spread. So Ernie has it backwards. WoTC at that time was actually defending the white male hero. Monte Cook said: Regdar...

    "No news is good news" WoTC will not touch this and let TSR3 burn down by itself.

    D&D General Real life 'dungeons' you can visit

    Quinta da Regaleira in Portugal has a superb garden with caverns and a stairwell that goes down into the ground. Some buildings are linked by underground passages. I actually 'disappeared' from my wife's view only to 'reappear' behind her using the chapel tunnel. A very roguish move! The Sintra...

    In 2012 while on vacation in Budapest I discovered the Budavari Labirintus. A complex of natural caverns under the castle on the Buda side of the city. It was fun to visit. The Labyrinth is a highly protected natural cave. The half a million year old cave flight systems, isolated from each...

    Quoted for truth. The bullying stopped for me after I punched a few of them in the face. Just like the animal world. If you don't bite you get eaten because you pose no treat.

    How Would You Get Back to In-Person Games?

    One of my players invested in a very cool rpg table a few months before the pandemic began. We plan to play there when the restrictions permit. That should be in September if there is no 4th wave. Now that we have tried VTT one player will be playing from his home because he lives a good...

    Someone should take away his rope because he is definitely going to hang himself with it if he continues.

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving the arcane gish an identity.

    Well I learned a new gaming word today : Gish. "role-playing games) A magician, or character that is skilled in both physical combat and the use of magic. Most gish characters use their magical abilities to increase their own personal combat abilities (known as "buffing").
