Started with Holmes Basic and moved to 1E after that. Moved from 1E to Rolemaster, CoC, Gamma World, Paranoia... probably a couple more. Took a long break, then started up again with 3E. Another long break and reading/collecting 5E now. My philosophy on D&D is the same as the Vacation movies...

Best: there are enough "half-this" and "half-thats" that something would want to date me (half-gelatinous cube, anyone?) Worst: I'd end up being the cleric, and nobody wants to be the cleric.

See, I've heard there are pictures of halflings in the PHB, but I've also had jokers try to tell me there are Star Wars movies after Return of the Jedi as well...

The Battle of Morannon, the big battle at the Black Gate of Mordor (the "For Frodo!" spot in the movies). Everyone felt it was a good spot to end the campaign, as continuing on to fight armies of Balrogs just seemed like it would make the combat drag.

I’m just waiting for Fred to rip their mask off and we find out TSR was really Old Man Smithers all this time…

Now, now, halflings are just humans with really big built in feet….

There’s a whole other thread on how no one plays that Silmarillion stuff so we ought to just end D&D at Morannon level.

James Hoffman, the coffee guy on YT, got a local creamery to make him an artisanal vanilla ice cream with 8 crushed beans in his quest for the perfect affogato; he remarks in the video “you don’t know how good, and expensive, this is” :)

Are they going to explore the premise that I've heard somebody make that Buffy (and Seinfeld, and so many other shows from the 80s and 90s) would lose most of their episodes if someone had just had a cellphone to pull out? :)

I've made it through a little over a hundred pages of this so far and basically, it boils down to the Players Handbook has Dwarves as Gryffindor, Elves as Ravenclaw, Humans as Slytherin, and Halflings as Hufflepuff. And everyone mocks and rolls their eyes and thinks Hufflepuffs are boring and...

I know this is from way back, but I’m just getting around to this thread and I love this. Halflings are basically the “lower decks” of the fantasy world; doing all the grunt work, getting none of the credit, and when the “important” people of the world even notice them it’s to say “who are these...

Kimchi on pizza??!! That’s… that’s… oddly intriguing, actually :) Definitely giving it a go.

Wow, I'm... speechless. "They are banning Giantlands and TSR, just like the Satanic Panic people did! TSR hasn't even produced anything yet; how can they say whatever they make is going to be evil?!" Is he really that clueless to the situation here, is he burying his head in the sand to ignore...

“we got hacked” doesn’t even get you a space in Dumpster Fire Bingo; it’s the free spot in the middle.

Matters of different perspective and experience of course, as I don’t see a huge mainstreaming in the general populace… among the nerd population, sure. At the hospital I work at, there are a little over 40 workers on my unit, ranging in ages from 21 to 60s; I’ve found 3 (counting myself) who...

Dang it, in before I could 👍 Expecting to see a couple of very old necro’d threads pop up now; heck I would have a decade ago… My sense of humor hasn’t gotten any better, I’m just a lot more tired these days 😉

REAL gamers played while the Conan, Wrath of Khan, and Lord of the Rings (1977) soundtracks were on… And on topic, Micheal row the boat ashore, hallelujah, Micheal row the boat ashore…

There was a 3rd party weapons book back in the 3E days I have that divided armor and weapons by historical age, ie stone, bronze, iron, etc, and gave them bonuses and penalties against each other for damage, to hit, speed, etc. I also went through the Battletech tech manuals back in the day...
