Ooooh boy. /Sam Beckett voice. There are a few things working against Catcher, starting with what @overgeeked mentioned: Americans like to be pissy about what they're assigned to do in school. And yes, Holden Caulfield is whiny, especially when you look at the fact he's from a VERY...

Agree. I tried to run the Rebellion starter (with the remains of a Pathfinder group that kind of dissolved), but the players just didn't get into the narrative "explain how they succeed" part of dice rolls and were content with math rocks addition and subtraction. Beautiful books though.

Sounds like a suggestion to add to my "The Next 'Catcher in the Rye'" Essay prompt. (Basically, my students need to find a coming of age story, read it, compare its tenets against "Catcher" and argue for it as a replacement for "Catcher" in the curriculum. For kids who get stuck or don't know...

ORRRRRRRKlahoma! Where the WAAAGH comes sweepin' down the plain! (That's...that's remarkably accurate, actually.)

LOL. Thanks. When it first went up, I was hoping to help our social workers get a therapeutic gaming group off the ground at work. I figured this might be a useful tool. That plan fizzled, but I figure I can still add it to my own resource library.

So, I backed this out of curiosity. Just got an email the the infringement issue has been cleared up and pledges are back open. Let's see where it goes now.

Merch pre-orders are up. I'm surprisingly not interested; if I end up going to the release tapping, I might get a tshirt. Overall, though, what's offered and for what it costs doesn't interest me, personally, a lot. https://shopping.newhollandbrew.com/collections/dungeons-dragons-x-dragons-milk...

I remember when Jones Soda did the D&D x-over in 4th edition. I got a Drow Assassin mini with that six-pack. I'm a fan of New Holland, so this piques my interest, both the beer and the bourbon-style whiskey. Naturally, also curious about the merch. I figure it's worth enjoying the ride as...

Oh, I was speaking for myself. For classroom management purposes. Having been on all sides of this (as the bystander to the dumb kid who brought the sword, as myself as the dumb kid who brought the sword, and as the adult in the room who needed to tell the dumb kids that they can't bring the...

Just in time for the new school year.

Pick up in store by Tuesday. Nice.

Whoa. I know that dude IRL and did not know he had a podcast. That's a heck of a TIL. Gonna need to check that out.

I know this is an old thread necroed, but I I know that there's some epic-level thread necromancy going on here, but I gotta say, the 3.5 Ed DL Campaign Setting/Races of Ansalon Minotaurs were some of the best-written Minotaur PCs I've read. I had a blast playing my Minotaur cleric back then.

They do! I have a sheet of the Warhammer ones from Royal Mail (and New Zeland's Lord of the Rings ones, too.) I'm in US (Chicago area) and shipping wasn't too bad, IIRC. I'll probably order a sheet of these and the USPS ones too. Maybe get around to framing all of them.

I have, via another thread just recently! I had not beforehand. As a fan of both Valeros and Golarian Goblins, I dig it. Doesn't feel quite the same as it did at age 11 though! Honestly, I'd love to have seen a straight homage with the PF Iconics, but this is a nice "wink" in the direction of...

I've said it before: Elmore's "Dragon Slayers and Proud if It" was exactly what 2e was for me. Sticking with 2e: DiTerlizzi and Planescape, Brom and Dark Sun captured and/or created the "feel" of those settings. Similarly, the color "ads" in the WEG Star Wars books really created the "flavor"...

You know, I basically live across the street from a bison herd preserve. I have no one to blame but myself for my disappointment in myself that I only came up with cows. We can also add aurochs, oxen, and yak! But really, that's an odd item.

Oh! That reminds me of mine: I'm doing this from memory, but Taladas: The Minotaurs, [I stand corrected it was] Dragonlance: Book of Lairs featured a ring that was THOUGHT to be ...of Minotaur Control but was actually ...of BOVINE Control. So, Minotaurs, Gorgons, and...Cows, I guess. Also, I...

One of these days I'm going to pony up for a mint Gator. I still hate that I never kept that one.
