Our group had a guy like this for a long time. It wasn't that he was the "Forever GM" so much as he was always the guy with a new idea, often before what he'd running had resolved much. Playing in so many super-short, barely (at best) resolved campaigns might be a large part of why the campaigns...

I figure that if I don't see the appeal, then consuming it in whatever medium probably won't help me understand it.

Well, that is two ungreat tastes that go ungreat together.

Honestly, I was thinking of a couple by David Hartwell, but yes. (That's because I haven't read Dangerous Visions.)

Some of my favorite books ever have been anthologies. The collapse of the (especially periodical) market/s for short fiction is IMO tragic.

I don't have the context for what you're arguing about, so I'm gonna hold my peace, but ... my dude, you're misrepresenting what I think you're defending in a way that makes it look bad.

Yeah, I can see that. Most of the time when I was telling a narrator where to pick up, I'd just heard them say it. That helped.

Plausibly also on the isotope ...

Yeah. It turns out that you really don't need to have Spanish in order to engineer audiobook sessions recording in it. :LOL: You just need to be able to pronounce it enough that the narrator knows where to pick up reading.

An upside of anthologies, in my experience, is that if a story turns out to be crap at least it's likely to be quick to get through.

Back when I worked in audiobooks, we ended up recording that novel in English and in Spanish at the same time (broadly) and in the same studio, on the same computer. There was always some concern among management that there was going to be some confusion because the file names were so similar...

Anyone who'd die on a hill I wouldn't die on is weird.

For a few years now, I've been running in my 5e games something like Cypher's Recoveries: The first one takes about five minutes, the second one takes about fifteen minutes, the third one takes about an hour, the fourth one is part of a long rest. They fit into the narrative, convey some sense...

But regular olives aren't food objects, are these like shinier or more opalescent or something?

As food, you mean?

Those of us who prefer not to put non-food objects on our pizza will leave you to it.

Likewise. Yeah, those sorts of spells are when it really feels as though the PCs get to set their goals and go after them, and the durability of the characters gives the DM room (I think) to push things against them a bit harder. That said, I've had high-level PCs poke around in a dungeon (and...

There aren't a lot of official published adventures for higher-level, or even well-thought-out published monsters. Arguably the higher levels aren't really exciting, in the sense that, as @TwoSix pointed out a 16th-level PC plays a lot like a 10th-level one (which doesn't have to be bad). I...

I have at least one kinda slow-player who doesn't seem to even consider his actions before his turn. Only one player at that table pre-rolls, really, or rolls damage at the same time as their attack roll. So things have often tended to take us a little longer. My sense is that PCs do get more...
