    Is humanity still evolving?

    You see if it art, where future humans have small, anemic bodies and huge heads. We will evolve into a race with naturally wi-fi receptors in our brains but no genitals.

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    As I put it in my review; "Forest Oracle" is like "The Room" of gaming modules.

    What's the best bad RPG book?

    Thank you for the shout-out. Forest Oracle was the subject of my third review. I keep meaning to do some kind of show about making the module good, as it has potential. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2TDFMS8et8

    Ever had others think you were gay?

    Only to reiterate how random and stupid the bigotry is.

    Ever had others think you were gay?

    Taking it down a notch I suppose, but I wonder how many people who have been gay bashed or discriminated against for being gay were not actually gay.

    "I'm convinced that Gareth's death was in no way linked to his work."

    Didn't HP have to recall their office standard color printers because of a design flaw where the paper jammed and the printers occasional killed people, locked them in duffel bags and then hid them very badly?

    Ever had others think you were gay?

    In the time and place where I grew up, "men" never stopped talking about sex, female anatomy and the like and most had horrible manners, were inept in the kitchen and so on. They would be offended and think you were gay if you did not also want to talk all the time about sex, female anatomy and...

    Ever had others think you were gay?

    People still think I am gay; I choose not to date (for personal reasons), I am neat, know how to cook and the like. So many people - my own parents still - think I am gay. Because heterosexual men are obsessed with the vagina, are filthy, can't boil water and so on. Failing to meet these...

    What's the best and worst D&D book you own from any edition?

    Best; The 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms Source book, which i argue is the gold standard for setting source books. Worst; Well, Forest Oracle is comedy bad, redeeming it somewhat. So I will second the votes for Book of Vile Darkness.

    Dirty Secrets of "The Dirty Secrets of the Blackhand"

    Even aside from issues of tone, the book is badly edited with inconsistent use of terminology and numbers, unusable powers and a weak layout. Further, at a gaming convention in 1996 in Houston, a female White Wolf employee (possibly Jennifer Heartshorn) expressly described the book as a...

    Dirty Secrets of "The Dirty Secrets of the Blackhand"

    I am composing a review of "Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand," a book from White Wolf in the early 1990s. Though not as bad as its reputation suggests, it is not good. I am wondering if anyone here knows anything about its composition or the back story to its composition, and if you will share...

    Ravenloft - Azalin's Plot

    I am aware of the time-line and it is well executed. However, Azalin is stubborn and will persist. I suspect he will attempt some parts of the scheme, such as working with the children of the Gentleman Caller to still move out of his domain into others. For example, dealing with "Death" will be...

    Ravenloft - Azalin's Plot

    According to the notes and apocrypha on the Gazetteer series, Azalin Rex was plotting to coerce the spawn of the Gentleman Caller to move around the different domains and to install the spirit of his son Irik into a new body. However, "S" was going to feed herself to the Elder Brain to thwart...

    Odd Dreams

    I have unusual dreams. A few nights ago I dreamed I was standing in an Autumn colored forest, talking with Kermit the Frog who was telling about about the fate of world leaders and business leaders inside the Matrix. Last night I dreamed I - and an adventuring party - battled vampires with...
