Indeed. I read his Brain Damage post a while back. It's not based on any kind of empirical data. An anecdotal theory that suffers from confirmation bias.

A player named his wizard Volcanus.... Another used UL every time his ranger died. UL the second, UL the third, etc. One guy named is character Genesis since I really like the group. He didn't get extra XPs. I named a sprite character: Sibiligit Tigilibis. You have to say it very fast with a...

Watched a few more episodes. The build up is great.

What happened to the OP? His user name is strike through.

Ruin Masters gets my vote this week!

I was also surprised. Can't recall when and where but it was at the beginning. Probably Mearls. Called it an evergreen edition. The inferred was that they wanted to refine rather than star from scratch ever 5-6 years.

They are not identical. Moldvay mentions using miniatures while Mentzer omits mentioning them. There are other small changes and corrections. The biggest difference is Mentzer introduced the solitary adventure to teach how to play - because TSR was receiving too many letters from buyers who...

I'm looking for good 1920s pulp weird science modules or adventure paths. Nothing with supernatural elements or magic. Do you have any suggestions?

Cook and Marsh did publish an Expert (1981) box for TSR, compatible with Basic (1981) Moldvay which I bought. They never published the promised Companion box because of the switch (relaunch) to BECMI Mentzer

That is a great tool for solitary pay.

They did say, a while back, 5e was the last edition of D&D. Considering what was said yesterday the changes are more like 5.1 than 5.5 and not at all a 6e. Minor tweaks and no sweeping changes to the system.

It was great then. I have the complete DVD set, plus the movies. I bit too preachy and sanctimonious for my taste these days. Tried watching it this past winter. The low budget production didn't age very well. CW proved they can do really good TV that subverts tropes with Supernatural. I could...

Started watching this a few days ago. It's an alternate reality 60-70s space race in which the USSR landed on the moon first! Nixon is foaming at the mouth and wants a win from Nasa. Created by Ronald D. Moore (Galactica reboot). I like this a lot. Another good adult sci-fi show.

Well, at least 5e will have lasted 10 years. Right up there with 2e.

How many times can a man buy the same product in a life time? So far 8 times. I think I'll play another game instead. :)

It depends greatly on the DM to provide challenging tactics and interesting locations. Otherwise it's extremely predictable what each player will do with any D&D edition. That is why I prefer the random stunt system of Fantasy AGE for combat. Makes encounters less predictable.

Good catch. But in French it is Fondation. ;-)

Watched the first two episodes of Foundation last night on Apple+. Big budget, great actors and beautiful set design. Sci-fi for adults. The first half of episode one is slow because info-dump sci-fi concepts necessary to understand what Foundation is about. Things start moving after that. Liked...

Dune, House Viridas was created.
