Thus becoming the very first writers/publishers in human history to consider which words would be used, and not used, in their publication.

Well, it's a good thing nothing remotely like "mass upheaval" or "public shaming" has happened! You must be so relieved. I don't think innocent children should burst into flames whenever someone uses a decimal...and as it turns out, they totally don't! So that's nice. And also why I don't get...

No one is telling you that you can't use the word "savage". There are no speech police who will write you a ticket for using that word at your gaming table. You want to run the Goodman Games adventure "Tomb of the Savage Kings"? Have at it! I think I remember that it's good. WotC has decided...

However, I know something that should be discounted. By about 95%.

I wish you were right, but I don't think you are. I think saving your healing spells until someone goes down is absolutely the correct strategy under the 5e rules as written. When a player gets reduced to -20 hit points and you Healing Word them for 4, you end up healing then for 24. How is that...

If they had to make that happen in real life, the long printing delay makes a lot more sense.

I'm an English teacher. You just made my day!

"Not everything is worth gold, a story award is a persistent award given to characters that meet the requirement in the adventure." Avoidance of sentence splices is worth its weight in gold.

To some people, tentacles cause arousal. But I guess that's also mental.

Glad to know where your draw the line. Nazis and fascists are fine, but someone who enjoyed 4e? Now that is truly unacceptable.

I'd love him even more if he included the phrase "those pesky factz" in his filing.

I don't have any good advice, I just wanted to congratulate you on a five-year campaign. Wow.

About time they made DCC dice in some interesting colors!

I hadn't heard of this adventure until this thread, and now I'm super intrigued. It sounds amazing. Thanks for your write-ups!

Might I humbly propose: "Justin looks like a textbook prong"? I'm not a licensed prongologist, but I feel that statement won't be very controversial.

Back to Rappan Athuk. What's your favorite floor/area? As I mentioned before, I read the first area and didn't care for it. I'd love to give Rappan a second chance, but since it's a billion pages, I'd appreciate a tip on an especially good section to check out.

Speaking of brilliant set pieces and overarching story... When people are compiling lists of the best mega-dungeons, I rarely see Castle Whiterock mentioned, which is a shame. It might be because that adventure was only ever published with 3e rules, which is anathema to most of the OSR...

Micah, I grudgingly admire your dedication to keep tilting at this windmill after so many pages. I respectfully think you're wrong, but nobly so. Please don't allow us to sully your optimistic view of the general public's intelligence. I'd just like to point out that the number of people who...

Power Word: Antagonize

Apologies for largely repeating what I wrote in another thread, but... It's it just me, or has Shocking Grasp been nerfed into uselessness? The disengage effect whiffs 40% of the time or more, the damage is awful, the range is zero. Why would a player ever take it? At least when it gave...
