    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    I think it looked good but the bridge was about as big as the Enterprise-D and Pike's quarters looked like a penthouse compared to what we have seen before on any ship. That's something thing Star Trek: Enterprise did well, it looked small and cramped compared to TOS and then the ships of the...

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    Personally, I loved it. My spoiler free review is that I feel like I have watched my first real Star Trek show in decades. I like Picard and really enjoy Lower Decks but Strange New Worlds, I thought, really captured the feeling of Trek. It's not nearly as dark as Disco or Picard, visually or...

    I never played in the setting, but I remember the Dragonlance short story that was published in Dragon Magazine. I don't remember if more than one were published but I remember really enjoying what I read.

    What’s your favorite boxed set?

    That's hard.... The City of Greyhawk. This was the first setting I got for AD&D and spent so much time reading it. Al-Qadim was another favorite. I never exclusively ran a campaign there but one of my most memorable campaigns did have my players travel from their home around Corm Orp in Faerûn...

    What did you study in college?

    I went right to college after high school with no idea what I wanted to do, I chose my university because my girlfriend was going there. I majored in getting drunk and was eventually shown the door. I would go back on and off again but never completed a degree. Finally, in the mid-2000s I...

    Can you name a good fantasy TTRPG that's not D&D?

    A lot of these have already been given as possibilities but my suggestions are: Pathfinder (I only play 1E so can't speak to the current edition) Castles & Crusades Savage Worlds Blades in the Dark (I've only read the rules and not actually played it but it seems really cool) Band of Blades (as...

    What are you reading in 2022?

    Unfortunately, I find my reading time limited, but I am slowing making my way through the Books of Swords trilogy by Fred Saberhagen. I am about four chapters into book two. One I am done with those I will go back to Glen Cook's The Chronicles of the Black Company. I have read the first three...
