Can we start a new poll asking "Who else is feeling very old?"

One group has been unchanged for 22 1/2 years. The other goes back to about 1990 (I joined in 1993), but the newest member joined about 15 or 20 years ago.

Anyone wanting to play in a fantasy version of Venice should read The Lies of Locke Lamora.

"Your Majesty has the most likes on social media, but they're all on Facebook."

Make full use of those irrigation canals. A small pole barge will be faster than trying to find the best place to cross from field to field. But of course there will be dead ends, and blockages. Sections with high reeds might block sight, and there could be all sorts of interesting things that...

Did anyone else find the exaggerated American drawl offputting? Remember "Snow White and the Huntsman", which wanted us to believe that Kristen Stewart was more beautiful than Charlize Theron?

I'd say it's for those wonderful moments that begin with the catchee saying, "Hold my beer."

Only a fortnight to go!

Does anyone here publish on places like Reedsy? I've been thinking about doing that, just to get into the habit of finishing stories and hopefully getting some reader feedback.

I visited Bari years ago, and my only clear memory of it was a laundry business with a sign that read "Washing & Irony".

On the subject of writing, I've recently read quite a few books on the subject. There are some good pointers out there, but actually I find books about editing - after you've done the first draft - to be far more useful.

I'm still happily playing 3.5 and various D20 alternatives like Modern and Star Wars.

I read years ago that Tolkien intended Middle-Earth to be set on our own world. But I always assumed he meant 100,000 years ago, or even a million. Earth is old enough that you don't have to limit its history to the past 10,000 years. If you really want to put Elves and Hobbits and Sauron in...

I've been practising my fiction writing over the last few years, and I like to think I'm getting better at it. I even posted a few sword & sorcery stories here, and got a bit of feedback but very few eyes. Looking back, I should rewrite them, with the skills I have now, and maybe do something...

I knew it was a myth, but I thought it was based on a misunderstanding, not deliberate cruelty. :mad:

Even better: free DMs with toilet paper.

From experience: anyone who wants to play a kender should only play with other people who want to play kender.

Free dice with toilet paper.

I can imagine a hippo with a hookah, but not with a ciggie. Perhaps cigar at a pinch. Crocodiles would have cigarettes in those long holders. Rhinos could get away with a pipe.

I should probably have spelled it "møøse".
