    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    You must be thinking of Ringstone Round. Plenty of strange things going on there. There's even a nursery rhyme mentioning it. Huffity, puffity, Ringstone Round, If you lose your hat it will never be found, So pull your britches right up to your chin, And fasten your cloak with a bright new...

    Doppel Is A Physical Digital Miniature!

    Having a look at the project I think it's likely to be using an ESP32 microcontroller as I've seen a fake Nixie tube clock using one to control eight small IPS panels.

    Spoilers So, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire? [spoiler thread]

    I saw it last Friday and I really enjoyed it. It's nice to see that William Atherton reconciled his differences and returned. I recall Jason Reitman say that William blamed Ivan for fans saying that he lacked a certain part of his anatomy.

    D&D General D&D Luminary Jim 'Drawmij' Ward Passes

    Having a few days to reflect on his passing, I think the main thing I'll remember him for is how he tried to get across was how terrible diabetes can be and to try to educate others so as not to fall into the same trap as him.

    I didn't see that when I went looking for the page, I saw this which is certainly an infestation :-)

    What is your favorite RPG book of all time?

    While I like the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition rulebook, I still regard my Games Workshop printing of Call of Cthulhu 3rd Edition as my favourite. I know the book was like most of the GW editions a compilation of several books into one volume but it was darned useful to have the 1920s sourcebook...

    Giantlands, reviewed by David Flor on Twitter.

    Thanks for that useful information. It's all well and good reading about a place but I prefer to get the information from people as you can't beat a bit of local knowledge. I did detect a touch of whimsy about the state as I discovered that at one point there was a marketing slogan imploring...

    Giantlands, reviewed by David Flor on Twitter.

    I'll admit to knowing nothing about the climate of Wisconsin, is it warm enough to sustain a theme park? I know that Walt Disney selected Florida as it had the correct conditions to support nearly year round opening.

    It's not really Willy Wonka, to prevent legal action from the Dahl estate the host was named Willy McDuff . I'm wondering if the estate is now sending cease and desist letters to all the outlets that reported it as such.

    I must be getting people mixed up, wasn't Giantlands supposed to have a live action theme park where you could play your character?
