"Those internet people are actually right, from a certain point of view." -- Old Ben Kenobi, probably

Don't look at me! I got a new drug! One that won't make me sick!

Someone held it as I walked away?

I have only one (19 months now), and it's really taxing for a guy who has celebrated 35 20 times... In any case, I'm in cahoots with you eager beavers! I can usually tell what's buzzing until the palaver goes off the cob!

We're not old! I'm only 35! And I'm pretty good at being 35, as this year I celebrated my 35th birthday for the 20th time!

It's infinite monkeys and infinite time for precisely this reason. A single monkey would be highly unlikely even with infinite time. You might as well do a study on who would win the World Series of only one team played; and the answer is, of course, "that team," unless the team is the Cubs, in...

In the original 1e days we referred to Magic Missile as "magic meatballs." I don't remember why, weird sense of humor, I guess.

My wife pointed out to me that I always say to her, the worst module writers are "failed novelists," not just "novelists." They really wanted to carefully curate this experience for readers, but they couldn't complete it -- their mojo gave out at one or more parts. Well, a module is just a...

"Sandkings" was really, really good, and I can't wait for him to finish this Song of Ice and Fire nonsense so he can write the followup to "Sandkings" that he promised me at a convention back in the 80s!

I have come to the conclusion that many of the issues I've had over the last 30-40 years with published scenarios are that they are written by novelists. The requirements of an enjoyable novel and an good scenario are very different, even diametrically opposed in some places. But, you know...

Actually, it should be alf, not elf, and I will rage about this besmirchment until my eyes grow dim and the sun goes cold!

I have a Samsung washer and my wife and I have Samsung Galaxy phones. Never had an issue, but it's not the first story I've heard of Samsung washers exploding...

Hmmm... I suspect at at least one point, he manipulates Detective Schanke into inviting him in...

Nick is a detective. He rarely arrests people, and usually doesn't serve warrants -- he figures out how the murder was done and the chief sends a couple of uniforms to do the arrest.

New thread idea: "Reconsider the Cannoli? Them's Fighting Words!" I predict it extends to over 100 pages before being locked due to entrenched, passionate adherents.

No crack Soviet commando team, trying to retrieve their tank?

Did you draw inspiration from the version in Dragon magazine? Any anecdotes from it that you care to share?

The whole series of paintings was fantastic. I remember at least one person who worked up stats for all of the various pieces as depicted in the paintings. EDIT: Also, I would like to remind grognards who remember these chess covers (such as myself), that he did one more for Gygax magazine #4...

This is, indeed the best version of the Dancing Hut. It remains memorable to me decades after I read it. The James Bond 007 game was one of the more successful movie-to-RPG adaptations. JB007 is a very, very good game, that maintains the feel of the James Bond movies in the game; this is no...
