    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    Hawaiian or tropical pizza tastes good. Don't let the voices on the Internet bother you - fix one up and try it out.

    They also never upgrade - you have to buy a fancy(-ier) answering machine for that. But yes, 30 years and still works just like I expect.

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2022 AD

    The warehouse staff at the company where I work put Bat Out of Hell on their sound system today over Lunch break.

    You don't actually hate bards, you are just trying to drive off the competition. Search your feelings, you know this to be true.

    D&D 5E (2014) YOU are pitching the next big WotC Adventure. What is it???

    Background research: what are the best-quality -and- most popular -and- fondly remembered adventures set in Ed Greenwood's Cormyr and the Dales? The new adventure is a hat-tip to those old adventures. The PCs have to interact with lore and legendary heroes on the way to dealing with a modern...

    (Rumor) Disney Stars Wars Could Be Removed from Canon (or simply ignored)

    It was like somebody decided "the rules of good movie-making do not apply to me! Watch this!" and did whatever they felt like.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    A few years ago the Scottish Open (golf tournament) ran an ad that began with half-dressed guys getting ready for work and singing (timidly) "Ain't got no pants on". At the end of the ad they showed a dozen bagpipers in kilts proudly singing "We wear no pants!"

    Baloney: I've seen you in the other threads too and you are not just a ghost over there. (Real ghosts do not eat pizza.)

    D&D 5E (2014) Bugsploration Campaign Idea

    The PCs find this book on a shelf. It turns out to be a Basic Rules set. It includes stats for Giant Ant, Giant Wasp, &c. After a PC reads and understands the book ... they start running into the giant insects they have been accidentally summonning. (This is intended as a less-obnoxious...

    I ... thought I was in that primary thread. Did I leave an extra window open on my screen, or something?

    D&D 5E (2014) What monsters should inhabit the oil sands?

    Larry Niven's The Burning City puts a source of magic in/under the LaBrea tar pits. Not quite what you are describing here but you could pilfer his ideas.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Bible Is A New 5E Setting

    +1 for 3e Testament If this is intended to be a "New Testament Bible RPG" sourcebook, they would be well-advised to study the best "Old Testament Bible RPG" sourcebook.

    Testament 3e was so awesomely handled - blending Biblical and historical and archeological material - that there is no equally-good comparison, and trying to duplicate it or update it, is practically pre-doomed to disappoint. Alas.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Personal experience: strep throat is going around. Check for that. The treatment is antibiotics (available at any pharmacy) and bed rest. This is a known understandable possible explanation of her symptoms, with a familiar treatment, and none of the COVID-related nonsense to deal with. I...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    When a thread started "What is your Avenger's Oath?" (on the old WotC forums), the most material was for Raven Queen -inspired characters. Some of it was profoundly thoughtful, not just a hack-and-slash goddess of killing. The player-provided contributions raised my estimation of the Raven...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Somebody has got to be pulling out those "Viagra makes you the life of the party" ads with tiny tiny print "Do not mix with alcohol", and looking for a way to cash in (again) on over-enthusiastic users.

    D&D General Tell us about some of the interesting and unique creatures in your homebrew world!

    For the Wildemount "Frozen Sick" adventure I am replacing the zombies in the Ancient Lab with down-powered Mummies that emit puffs of Frozen Woe instead of Mummy Rot. The boss guy is a regular Mummy.
