AD&D1e, Avalon campaign: Nagas peaceful, but cannot help.

Is it possible that LaNasa's lawyer doesn't understand defamation? Tenkar's name-calling was annoying, by any reasonable standard, but the difference between annoying and actionable is important.

Or he rated the intangible value of "the first TSR site" quite highly, but has abandoned the idea of realizing that.

Honor & Intrigue, Privateers of the Complications: Orinoco cannibals lose to cannon.

We had eleven weeks of downtime, each of ten days. Our lead cleric went to a neighbouring country where his religion is dominant, but in an altered form, which stresses greed and obedience to authority, and little else. He was teaching parish priests the less restrictive original doctrine, to...

My players will generally read a short primer. We're all in our fifties or older. I do get irritated with players who won't make any effort to be able to role-play real things that their characters would know. An example is a player who will dig deeply into Egyptology or the KGB, but in a...

When I played an Igor in a Discworld game, he regarded himself as a superior being, who adopted the hunchback and the lithp to seem less threatening to ordinary people. The optional nature of the lithp in the stories supports this reading, as does the trope-inversion.

Poe's Law applies; one can't tell his serious stuff from self-parody.

AD&D 1e, Avalon campaign: Shopping, research, holidays, prospecting, encounter!
