    LOL. I'm now on Wind & Truth and am thinking Sanderson is falling into the Robert Jordan trap of not having an editor willing to tell him to cut stuff.

    OOTS 1332: Possibly a Rumpus

    Do we have stats for a Rumpus? Or just a Dire Rumpus?

    5E Powered Gamma World: What Should It Look Like

    WotC shouldn't give it to someone else. Don't use 5E; GW deserves a bespoke system. But if you must ... go all in on gonzo & mutations. Plant people -- great! Human-animal or human-plat hybrids -- great! Start with mutations like feats, add then (or enhance them) over time. Character building...

    Tom Bombadil is stupid and useless and should have been edited out of Lord of the Rings.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    That's good to hear; I'm still waiting for a shipping notification from the game store I pre-ordered from. Hopefully that will occur soon. Will echo the Moria book -- fantastic -- and I just picked up Realms of the Three Rings which had some great source material.

    D&D General Does anyone recall coming across any magic weapons that return when thrown...other than Dwarven Thrower, Hammer of Thunderbolts or magic boomerangs?

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Mmmm, ranch. Had the most amazing fries the other day at a diner called "They Say" in downtown Detroit, just off the river. They had the perfect blend of crispy crunchy outer to thick moist interior, and were seasoned to perfection.

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    Funny that GPT mixes D&D systems. That wolf stat block is AD&D (though they misspell "% liar" :p ) but the skill check is from a later edition. In my encounter, the oak stat block is 5.0, the skill checks could be 3.0 to 5.0.; the saves are 5.0. So let's paste it back into Forest Oracle for a...

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    I asked ChatGPT to create an encounter in the style of the Forest Oracle. Here's what it produced: I think it failed miserably. That's actually coherent.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    Same (US). Pre-ordered on 8 July and the place I ordered from still shows "awaiting fulfillment", so perhaps their shipment isn't in yet, or they haven't gotten to those pre-orders.

    RPG-style Board Games

    Because wearing scaly underpants chafes. // What would a Euro-RPG game look like? Drafting cubes instead of 3d6 down the line?

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Cheese Fries. Potentially with Bacon. [No, not poutine you crazy Quebecois!] Edit: On preparation. Some of you really go all out. I've found the air fryer to be ideal for home-prepped fries. Ideally, seasoned with Aussie Chicken Salt. On the subject of fast food fries; Mrs. Shiverstone...

    Great music. Now we know why Recognizers are scary. Will the plot and characters work? Guess we'll find out.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    Ooh ... just though of another one that needs a revisit (thanks for the Tailspin reference) -- Tales of the Gold Monkey. Underrated series with a fun adventure premise, and some pretty god humor.

    Trailer Red Sonja trailer

    So the Conan stories go (or start to go) public domain in the US in 2028. Does that open the door to more Conan movies? Red Sonja has a lot longer to go.
