I've discovered I'm more a fan of La Sexorcisto specifically; White Zombie's earlier stuff is hard to listen to (if noteworthy for its influence), AstroCreep felt like it had the edges sands off, and Rob's solo stuff mostly doubled down on what I didn't like about AstroCreep. Once he picked up...

"Welcome to Planet Motherfucker/Psychoholic Slag," off White Zombie's La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume 1. "Underneath the Stars," off the Cure's 4:13 Dream "Batman," off Naked City (originally credited just to John Zorn, before the group on the album also became known as Naked City).

In DCC, you make a casting check every time you cast a spell. The check is typically a d20 roll, though there are circumstances where you roll a smaller or larger die to make the check. You add your relevant ability score modifier to the roll as well as your class level. Most spells require a 12...

I ran a weekly game for years at my FLGS, from when my kid was around 5 until a few months ago when I moved cross-country (said kid will be 10 this year). The last two years of that we had a regular group of 6 with occasional drop-ins. After I moved it's been next to nothing. We'd planned to...

My friends and I went back on Sunday (we had 4 day passes but initially planned to skip the last day) and I was shocked - the hall looked as packed as it had on Friday. Last year Sunday was more or less a wind-down and was pretty much dead. I wonder what next year is going to look like?

Did you feel like Gen Con was unusually busy this year? You were right! Gen Con 2023 News: Gen Con Attendance Breaks 2019 Record

I had some reservations when I started playing, but I've come around. I just use the table as-is. If you award 2 XP per encounter survived, as the Core Rulebook recommends, reaching 3rd level from 2nd takes surviving 30 encounters. While they vary pretty dramatically, the published adventures...

We are going to see both films as a double feature. We will all be wearing pink. My anticipation is that Oppenheimer will be the "better" movie but that Barbie will be much more enjoyable. Left to my own devices, I would just go see Barbie.

Such an awesome story! And a sad one. It would only be a 2 hour ish drive for me. Maybe I'll head up sometime.

The fact that school is out probably factors into the low turnout, but low turnout is low turnout regardless of the reason. For my part I'm always after the DCC stuff, but all of it tends to be interesting to some degree.

A little of both. The real issue in had was the damaging cantrips. They seem to violate the idea of what a cantrips should do, at least in my opinion. Though it's true I've also been running games since like 1994, so there's that as well.

Or the DCC RPG, which is the option I chose to take.

All three existing stores told me they had participated a year or more back and there just wasn't any interest. One guy (at by far the largest of the three) showed me the stack of stuff from last year's Free RPG Day that he still had because nobody had want6ed it. I don't really understand -...

I did reconsider - I just won't run 5e anymore. So it works out.

I moved from near a city of 200,000 with an awesome, huge game store that always participated in Free RPG Day and DCC Day to a city of 175,000 with 3 game stores, none of which participate in either. All three owners say participation isn't worth it, and the only one with appreciable gaming...

That's what I was thinking. Which is a damn shame - for my money Spelljammer has always been by far the more interesting of the two.

I typically ban cantrip classes (except warlocks) when I run 5e, so it's a deliberate "no" for me.

I like your approach, but as a writer I was in a few different situations, both in terms of rights to my work and the size of the company I freelanced for, which makes it difficult to answer some of the questions accurately. Also, do most freelancers set rates when they're hired, or do they...

With a name like TSR, what did they expect? Literally every company to use that name has gone bankrupt.

Nahh, Basic was popular and stayed around for years.
