    My COVID19 Journey

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I really had no idea what the "mild" form of this illness entails, and hearing a first-hand account is helpful. As for me, I too am stuck in a real estate quandary, since I'd left my home and job a couple months ago on a quixotic quest in search of A New...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Hmm... To be completely honest, I kinda wish I was trapped in New Zealand instead of rural west Texas. 😅

    OD&D Editon Experience: Did/Do you Play B/X? How Was/Is It?

    My first set was the the Red Box Basic from BECMI. When I leveled up, my parents got me the Expert set from B/X. They didn't know any different-- and since I was 10, neither did I. And I turned out just fine, despite mixing peas and carrots. 🤪

    D&D General Groin punch/kick?

    That's funny, because it just reminded me that when my brothers and I were all kids, we referred to the stomach-churning sensation of getting hit in the groin as "poisoned". So now I'm envisioning some poor Little Leaguer who got pummeled in the jewels by a line-drive, writhing on the ground in...

    Review of Paleomythic, RPG of Stone and Sorcery

    I've been looking for a good "stone age" game for a very long time, and this one finally sounds like it hits every specific point I've been wanting. I think I'll be getting this one. Thanks to all for the great review and helpful comments!

    D&D General Which do you prefer, character build or fixed growth?

    I generally decide at level-up how a PC develops within the setting and campaign events. However, usually I've got a concept in mind reflecting that PC's interests and capabilities. So I stick to a "build theme" rather than a defined "build", if that makes sense. Of course, in some systems *...

    D&D General What tone do you prefer for D&D?

    And now we know what happens when "gritty realism" meets Papers & Paychecks.

    D&D General Is "official" lore important to you?

    Voted "No, never." Lore is certainly inspirational, and great for yoinking ideas, but I can't retain it all and don't care about canon beyond what determines the rules. And lore can be flat out irritating when playing a lore-rich setting but someone else at the table becomes a self-appointed...
