    Which Miniatures company is best suited to take over the D&D pre-painted mini line?

    If Reaper would get off their asses, the FANTASY ENCOUNTERS line would be a good go-to for the pre-painted plastic mini consumer. Lord knows I'm trying to go there for my "hordes o' monsters" (finances are the big problem). I initially went with GW but at the end of the day having to...

    B2: Keep on the Borderlands

    Okay at this point I'm donning a fake handlebar mustache and bowler hat and pointing down the street and saying in my best Mel Blanc "growly voice" "He went thataway."

    It's Time for Going Away To Go Away

    If you go to RavencsMcCracken.com you can get most of the PDFs for 1e WORLD OF SYNNIBAR and the errata; of course, the big CALCON where like, thousands and thousands of WoS fans (for all editions: let's not turn this into yet another WoS edition war!) gather to meet, as well as fans of the games...

    It's Time for Going Away To Go Away

    SILENCE! Or do you wish me to fetch yet a third gladius?!

    Which celebrity would be your ideal RPG author?

    I'd like to have a set of core rules and campaign settings penned by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Supporting modules written by Terry Gilliam. I'd like to have a set of core rules and campaign settings penned by William S. Burroughs. Supporting modules written by Hunter S. Thompson.

    Has the Vancian Magic Thread Burned Down the Forest Yet? (My Bad, People)

    Hm, I must spread some XP around before giving Ulrick any more. Okay, Ulrick, howabout one delverbuck, redeemable for a no-prize of your choice? 'cause, you know, you made with the sensible and all.

    Gamebreakers

    Top of the heap for me, too, are "evil" campaigns. It's one matter to say "okay, you're all primarily thieves or work in collusion with the thieves' guild" but games where everyone's out to play their own worst alignment quickly degenerate into playing "red rover" with the Manson Family. Too...

    If you could play in a campaign of your choice, what would it be?

    TWILIGHT:2000 using the cleaned up 2nd edition rules but keeping the alternate history (1987-2000) without trying to "keep up" with real world political changes. ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, a grand campaign entailing the full run of Gary's great modules. As it is I'm playing in Benoist's...

    B2: Keep on the Borderlands

    Oh, I know Gary didn't set B2 in any specific campaign world (KNOWN WORLD/MYSTARA sorta kinda came up as a result of B2...), I was just teasing. He'd just been asked over on DRAGONSFOOT.ORG a few years ago where in GREYHAWK it might be best set and that was his answer iirc. If anything, it...

    Mearls' Legends and Lore (or, "All Roads Lead to Rome, Redux")

    What color is the sky in your world? "I didn't say you were a paranoid delusional, I said your ideas were a paranoid delusion! See? No name calling!" ...which is kind of The-Monarch-from-The-Venture-Brothers level of logic, honestly. (I'm not saying you're The Monarch, I'm saying your logic...

    Mearls' Legends and Lore (or, "All Roads Lead to Rome, Redux")

    Of course not! I mean it's not like WotC discontinued the sales by third parties of games people liked, or pinned their whole marketing strategy for the release of 4e on "nobody back then played right" with loltacular ads making fun of previous editions, or like anyone's running around calling...

    Mearls' Legends and Lore (or, "All Roads Lead to Rome, Redux")

    I don't want them to "pour resources" into anything. Other people were selling OOP edition PDFs. Other peoples' server space, other peoples' e-commerce fees, other peoples' worry. I want them to quit acting like older editions didn't exist or were laughable. Is that so much to ask...

    B2: Keep on the Borderlands

    Oh and in case anyone was wondering, the Keep proper is located on the border of the Pomarj. (I must now move to another city and change my identity so that KNOWN WORLD/MYSTARA fans don't find me and lynch me.)

    The heartbreak of garage cleaning

    I tend to hang on to characters. Adventure ideas and maps, not so much. There's a few that have sentimental value to me: the map I did on the blank sheet of graph paper in the back of B2, for example...some horrid notes for incorporating Aliens (complete with profile style drawings!) into STAR...

    What does OAD&D stand for?

    RPG = ruchnoy protivotankovy granatomyot or hand-held rocket-propelled anti-tank grenade launcher

    That's right, babies. Take it in. Feast on the glory of it all. AD&D. I haven't been this happy about D&D in the media since the last episode of FREAKS AND GEEKS. (yes, I'm aware that THE CAVERNS OF DRACONIS isn't a real module - I'm going to write one up anyway)

    The Purchase DC of the National Debt

    No, and thanks to the runaway spending policies of Iuz it's not going to get any better! Despite Mordenkainen's campaign promises of "hope and change" all we've seen is "you better hope I don't change you into a giant rat!" Well, now that Furyondy owns nearly half of our national debt, we'd...
