    Cocktails

    Minus a good margarita (not doing a Mexican-themed Thanksgiving this year), I guess I'd go for a basic Dr. Daniels ... Jack Daniels and Dr. Pepper.

    Happy Turkey Day, US peeps! How are you combining the holiday with gaming?

    So what's your Thanksgiving/gaming crossover? Is there an adventure that's ideal for a turkey-day one shot, like Ravenloft is for Halloween? Maybe Dragonlance ... dragons are just big turkeys, right? Canadian Thanksgiving POVs welcome!

    Dragonlance WotC Officially Confirms Takhisis and Tiamat Are The Same

    This was even a question? I must have been living under a rock since 1985 ... always assumed they were the same critter by different names. Like Lolth and Lloth.

    D&D General Dragon+ Content Going Away -- Whoops, It's Gone!

    This is the great thing about my print Dragon and Dungeon collection -- I just checked and they haven't been deleted.

    Hot take: Only the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings should be viewed as canonical Middle-Earth books

    Yeah, the BBC radio plays are great. The Andy Serkis audiobook reading is also exceptional (how can that man do so many voices and accents, and keep them consistent?). It has one downside to me. He sings ever one of Tom Bombadil's lines of dialog. Sings. Tom Bombadil is a prat at the best of...

    Hot take: Only the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings should be viewed as canonical Middle-Earth books

    Yeah, I 100% agree. Tolkien was picky, and if he never thought his work was worthy of publication, just because his son slapped some drafts together into a "book" doesn't mean that's what the Professor would have wanted. So I look at the Silmarillion and other later collected material as what...

    I don't have the proper clearance for a new edition of Paranoia. I'll just report to the disintegration chamber now.

    Krynn Returns: A Preview of Dragonlance

    Vecna's still looking for his head; I'm sure that will eventually be addressed in a future adventure.

    Not DnD - Rangers of Shadowdeep

    Great game. As as (in competitive mode) McCullough's Frostgrave and Stargrave.

    Krynn Returns: A Preview of Dragonlance

    I'm curious ... will wait for real reviews of WoK. And as a vet ... you don't want real war in your fantasy RPG. Stick to fantasy war for fantasy games.

    Rings of Power -- all opinions and spoilers welcome thread.

    Well, this is the Ring that launched a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Barad-dur, after all.

    Galas and Honeycrisps would like a word. That word is tasty.

    Best Feudal/Fantasy Government?

    Involuntary meritocracy. The population a a whole are screened for those with the most capability to govern as well as least desire to govern. The most capable/least desirous is drafted, their entire material existence liquidated and invested in the state along will all that of their family and...

    What is the Worst Halloween Candy?

    Living in apple country now I can certainly appreciate good, fresh specialty orchard apples. Red Delicious are the candy corn / Necco wafer of apples. Though I still wouldn't want an apple in my trick or treat sack.

    What book would you like to see become a movie/mini-series?

    I've been re-reading Pournelle & Niven's The Mote in God's Eye and it would make a great mini-series now that the technology it up to it. As would the Ringworld series.

    Dragonlance WotC Talks About Dragonlance's Flying Citadel

    I think of them more as "crashing citadels", because that's usually when the drama starts and they get exciting.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    I don't understand the confusion. I was caught in a Dragonlance time loop that involved a kender and a gully dwarf.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    Exactly. If I run Krynn without Kender, Tinker Gnomes, and Gully Dwarves, is it still Dragonlance? I mean, I enjoyed playing Kender when I was 11 ... because I was a typical 11-year-old and thought that pickpocketing my friends and otherwise being a kleptomaniac was fun. Now that I'm 13 I know...
