"You're doing it wrong, you should be doing it the only right way, by which I mean my way." And anyone who says the DM has to create an immersive experience for the players.

Yeah, when the Terminator starts enforcing the "no politics or religion" rule, there aren't going to be many repeat offenders. I could actually live with that.

Are there any rules about AI companies mining online information for training their software? Do they need permission?

At least we don't have to feel like Edgin with the Intellect Devourers.

... And the only way to "win" D&D, as per BECMI, is to start at level 1 and reach the highest possible level as an Immortal twice. Let's see an AI hang on to its playing group long enough to manage that!

Well, the Rise of the Machines suddenly seems more interesting. "Foolish humans, prepare to die! Make a Reflex save and then roll for initiative!" (Actually, I always say the Rise of the Machines started a long time ago. But instead of Terminators, they're killing us through high blood...

A bit ago we had a series of necromancies from something like 18-20 years ago. This barely counts as a necro.

Yes, the World Serpent usually doesn't have any (and swims, if I'm not mistaken). I know that Fafnir crawls, because that's how Sigfrid manages to kill him (like Turin, he stabs the dragon's belly). I have a vague recollection of the Beowulf dragon flying, but that might just be from...

PS Hope you get your results soon, and that it's nothing too serious.

Ooof, yes! The only time I've had an anaesthesia that didn't hurt (to remove my bonus wisdom tooth) the nurse deliberately injected it very slowly so it started numbing the area straight away. She said most doctors, nurses and dentists just inject it too quickly. Of course nowadays I always...

I started with the audiobooks, right from the start. Listened to every single second while I was on my daily constitutional. I made it as far as the start of Book 7 and realised life's too short to spend another 100 hours of Perrin moping about Faile and Rand moping about everything.

Yeah, the other day I bought the owlbear* from Amazon.nl for 30 euros. *The white one. Apparently there's a black one on its way.

So a mimic diceling has in fact been announced: https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Dicelings-Collectible-Converting/dp/B0BKN236LC/ref=sr_1_6?crid=220IVH1B7UC15&keywords=diceiling&qid=1681740339&sprefix=diceling%2Caps%2C275&sr=8-6 In the meantime I have the black dragon, the beholder and...

I owe it to 15-year-old me to see whether there's a way to order from Europe. And to make sure my wife doesn't throw them away on sight.

Was it in fact Mordenkainen's helmet? The only reference to Big M that I recall was the spell guarding the treasury. Or is the assumption that "Helmet of Disjunction" means "Mordenkainen's Disjunction"?

"The thieves were caught six weeks later, still counting the loot."

What's so unusual about that? I know I've been trapped in D&D since 1985.

"There s a famous human saying: Who ever heard of a worm-skin rug?"

One of these turned into rug the size of a bear, or a cloak, would make for a pretty bad-ass statement.

If only he'd been forewarned! Then he'd have been forearmed as well.
