I wonder when we're talking 'fans' versus 'players', how many of the fans are people who buy the book, and hope against hope to somehow find a group to play with? That seems pretty common, reading reddit, a lot of posts are about 'I've never played and want to find a group'.

I immediately thought of Sam Reich on Game Changers: "And me? I've been here the whole time."

After back-to-school is a great time to stock up on all your gaming supplies o the office/school variety

Presto's hat always reminds me of Gonzo's trumpet on the Muppet Show opening, where he blows it and something random af happens... except for the one time it just hits this perfect note... and he stops and looks at his trumpet really confused.

On the Clue tangent, when it was released, there were four endings. Each theater got only one of the endings. After how many ever weeks, they rereleased it with all four endings attached so you can find the canonical ending.

I love that scene, but my favorite is her response about her magician husband vanishing. Yeah, but he never returned. ... he wasn't a very good magician.

Biblically accurate angels are utterly terrifying. They're definitely NOT 'Kosh revealing itself on Babylon 5'

Looking at my 1979 AD&D DMG - first level clerical spells come from rites they learned and their faith in their god they practice as an novitiate - basically saying the same prayers and rituals you learned as a zero-level . Continued service allows the cleric to use second level spells. Spell...

I see Hank as the sports jock who actually steps in to break up bullying. And he probably is the one who snitches to the teacher than they forget to give homework.

It depends on where and how this other unnamed party of Earth people manifested. If you read the Guardians of the Flames series, the PCs were all Earth college kids who were magically forced into the body and realm of their college D&D-type game by their professor/DM, who was actually an exiled...

If I recall right, in 1e, it wasn't until you were using level 3+ spells that clerics actually had to reach out to their gods' agents for spells. Level one and two were considered ritual/Catholic High Mass type things

Deception check: "Would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?" Useless fact: Yondu does in fact want a chocolate covered pretzel and eats it. IYKYK

True but he rarely exerted control. He seemed to practice democracy as opposed to 'lead' and inspire.

Better than the old 1e modules that they would sell off - if I recall the Slavelords series was tournament originally because I remember the scoring rules in my modules for the last one

This is a mess that I see with West Marches - as was said, once something started going into someone else's material, I feel a time out should have been called. Secondly - so the cleric of the god of knowledge killed a helpless prisoner? That's not very heroic - I don't care if it happens in...

I like these. For the shared map, I do think it would be cool if you DID find a cheap table at Goodwill or a yard sale, took the legs off, and made an excellent map. Now I'm thinking of Risk Legacy(?) where I understand the board physically and permanently changes, much like Betrayal Legacy -...

When I read this, I was reminded of - and my mind can't remember where it was in 1e, either OA or Greyhawk Adventures? - but they had rules for playing a zero-level, and they got XP and could buy abilities like lockpicking or cantrips. It's similar to the rules the game Gangbusters used: you...

I loved that Shockwave was essentially Lawful Neutral. Megatron came back, having expected him to take over Cybertron once the Autobots were gone, and Shockwave was like 'Taaadaa, just as you left it!'

Only if I get to be Killer Croc... "... it was a biiiiiig rock." -- "Almost Got 'im", BTAS

I agree you have to put the Circle of Eight - pretty sure the ORIGINAL Wizards of the Coast - as iconic. I mean, how many spells are named specifically after them through all the editions?
