    Halfway in seasons 2. Still excellent. Watched the Christmas special. 'Sexy Christmas' not so sexy LOL! Best laid plans don't always turn out like you wanted.

    World building idea: Jupiter-sized Earth

    "What is Jupiter's gravity compared to Earth? Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter...

    D&D 5E (2014) Grumbling about New (and Announced) Releases

    I don't care much for adventures and setting books. I only buy rule books and monster books as I prefer making my own adventures and settings. Having said that I have no interest in a book on Dragons. I used to buy D&D adventurers and settings in prior editions but now I find my money is better...

    Impromptu Stream with Ed Greenwood, Tim Kask, & TSR CCO

    If someone bases the value of his life on work, he will will be disappointed. I worked very hard for 20 years for the same company making it grow. Last time I checked, a few weeks ago, only 2 people I knew still work there. No one else knows me. Such is life. It's better to base the value of...

    Impromptu Stream with Ed Greenwood, Tim Kask, & TSR CCO

    It's the WoTC disclaimer added to all the pdfs of old D&D products that triggers that reaction. What they hold has their legacy is now considered 'expired' from today's point of view.

    RPG Print News – Catalyst, Ulisses Spiele, Riot Mind, and More

    I read Ruin Masters over the last two weeks. Old school hex and dungeon crawl vibe. Great random table section for solitary play. Simple classless d100 system with hit locations and magic that can disintegrate your wizard if you badly fail a magic roll. Includes a setting. The bestiary is a bit...

    Excellent! I had a moment of doubt. Thanks. / returns to writing his micro solitary rpg rule set.

    Impromptu Stream with Ed Greenwood, Tim Kask, & TSR CCO

    Some aspects of D&D (AD&D) have been problematic since the start. As a 15 year old in 1981 I could see that. We discusses these issues back then. These issues have been discussed for ever on forums and more recently on social media. These guys have known this for a very long time, decades.

    D20 OGL?

    Question: Does WoTC own the use of 1d20 roll equal or over? I've created a system different* from D&D but use 1d20 roll equal or over for roll resolution. Do I need to put the OGL in it? (*no classes, armour, damage, magic work differently)

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    No it's not weird. Some connections are very powerful even if brief.

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    My wife is really upset they killed James Bonds. She wants to sue the Broccoli family for psychological damages. 🙃

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    Casino Royale is the early career. Skyfall has an origin story and No Time to Die is crepuscular. A nice triptych. The other two are fillers.

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    I'd put Skyfall in second, No time to die in third. NTTD is good but I don't feel like I want to see it again. Skyfall I've rewatched several time on regular tv. Quantum is really the worst.

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    Another one of those French words that crept into English. 'crépuscule, crépusculaire'.

    Bond, James Bond. No Time To Die (spoiler thread)

    I'm ok with it. I like crepuscular endings. It ends the Craig series logically. I never thought James Bond should survive and become a retired old man. It's just a number after all. ;-)

    It was good but also my last one.

    I'm not a fan of Seinfeld. Changed channel every time it came on.
