I haven't made it far jnto the thread, but the idea of ranger-as-martial-focused-druid is intriguing food for thought.

Bad movie geography is always fun, but no--I've completely missed Due South. Thanks for the example!

Oooh! I have one! I just finished "The Killer" with Michael Fassbender, and a segment was filmed right up the road in a habitation or town I know (and I was driving through the filming site daily at the time). Well, this town is supposed to be "a stone's throw" outside New York City, but as...

I played Scales of War all the way through, and I did buy the PH/DMG/MM, but I'll admit, that's only because I found them at Border's Books (before they went under) in a slipcase for 40% off with coupon. I'm pretty sure the rest of my party just used Insider.

Back in the day I was all about Kaz and Dragonlance Minotuars, especially the League. I will be buying this in a heartbeat.

I always enjoy these casting gags, like J. Jonah Jameson ALWAYS being J. K. Simmons, no matter the universe/timeline.

One I like to share with my students when we study "The Great Gatsby": Before they would be Scott Lang and Mitchell Carson in "Ant-Man," Paul Rudd and Martin Donovan appeared in the 2000 A+E "Great Gatsby" as Nick and Tom Buchanan. Rudd and Donavan's "Ant-Man" co-star, Cory Stoll (Darren...

I don't know what customs or shipping costs, or exchange rates, would look like, but Free League's website offers "Brazil" as a shipping destination.

Yeah, I'm basically a Fry "Shut Up and Take My Money" meme every time Free League announces a new One Ring product (and Vaesen, Tales From the Loop, Alien...)

Apropos of nothing, "Onate's Foot" was one of the first episodes of "99% Invisible" I listened to.

Remarkably, this one simply went up for sale, no Kickstarter. I preordered in June, I think. I've flipped through mine a little, and completely agree with @Mikeythorn : completely beautiful (like all Free League's One Ring stuff). So, I've only read half the first Adventure and the last...

This is exactly what my impression was after running the Rebel starter set. I felt like my party struggled with the improv element of the FF system rolls, and I chalked it up to almost all of them are coders or engineers (of all flavors).

If no one does it by the time I do retire, "Senior Retirement Dice" (large face) may be a market niche to be explored and tapped!

I'm not the only one?!?! Fun books. Does it count if we have adventures or splat books, but not the core rules? Because then add AD&D 1 & 2 and SAGA to the list below. (I purged Cyberpunk 2020, and most of 1, 2, 3/3.5, and SAGA in a "downsize" years ago, about halfway through the lifespan of...

Having trust issues just means you have a DM that's good at building suspense. Right? FWIW, it took me three days before I noticed it was "true" not "trust."

I think this would really force a paradigm shift in a lot of the groups I've played with, those whose approach is to "Leeeeroy Jenkins" everything they come across. I kinda like it, TBH.

Yeah, but that also has a lot to do with how the state incorporates municipalities. Here in Illinois, population has very little to do with it, and we only really have "Villages" or "Cities" (there's 15ish "Towns"), and the only real difference is a villiage's governing board is exactly six...

Ah, yes. I too have driven around Houston, Texas.

Oh, for sure. And my experience is that we Chicagolanders are the worst offenders. (e.g.: I don't know many Wisconsinites who say "I'm from Milwaukee" when they're from Kohler. But using "Up North" might be a close enough localization of the effect for argument.) Reminds me of the old cliche...

As a Chicagoan, I get the precedent in defaulting to the city. (I mean, I live 40 miles west of The Loop, but I still tell folks from anywhere else that I'm from Chicago as shorthand. And then they ask me how many times I've been shot at. And I sigh.)
