Really loving all the ideas for @TheSword ’s Dark Sun game. I’m lucky enough to be one of his players and can’t wait. And love the synchronicity of the psionics suggestion coming from @Steampunkette since I’m also lucky enough to play in her Scorpion Age game. Rob meet Rachel Rachel meet Rob...

She’d be his Duchess, Duchess Duchess, Duchess Duchess, Duchess Duchess, Duchess And the Rodney’s are queuing up. (Bit more obscure musically, please don’t strangle me!)

I was going to add my two cents worth but, since I’m British, it had better be my tuppence worth: Penny 1: Respect to WOTC for doing exactly the right thing. Penny 2: Respect to the moderators here for doing exactly the right thing.

I’ve DM-ed Necropolis, Northlands and Razor Coast and would recommend each of them very highly. As to choosing between them; it’s more about what style of campaign ( Ancient Egypt, Pirate or Viking) that your group prefer. Necropolis is actually Gygax, so that might swing it. I’ve played...

I had a poor experience as a player in a Dragonlance game where the DM adhered to the point of absurdity in railroading us to fit the “story.” I’m conscious that it’s only one game but it’s certainly put me off anything Dragonlance. Similarly, I’m not too keen on FR due to so much being written...

Thank you @darjr for taking the time to post this wonderful thread.

I think I’ve run Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, in various iterations, more than any other adventure. It’s certainly flawed but it will always be number one in my heart for gaming.

I own Borderlands and initially bought it to scratch the nostalgia itch of both playing and running the original decades ago. In the event, I’ve ended up running it as an old school “filler game” for my face-to-face group in the event that someone can’t make a session. It’s gone down really well...

Looks great. NFL is the greatest sport in the world (apart from rugby, of course!) and D&D is the greatest game. They mesh!

Thanks once again for this article. Like you, I made liberal use of Urdlen as an evil deity in my campaign at the time.

Best wishes both for getting better and the writing projects.

If you ever make it over, let me know. I’ll show you some Roman ruins, Iron Age forts, Neolithic burial sites and (of course) medieval castles in the London/SE region. Genuine offer. Alnwick is in the NE, but definitely worth a visit ( Bamburgh Castle is close to it as well as Hadrian’s Wall)

The Bloodflower is a beautiful monster. Truly scary. Alnwick Castle in UK has a wonderful Poison Garden, full of (as the name suggests) dangerous plants. The Bllodflower would fit in just fine to a fantasy version.

NZ sure is a beautiful country. Planning to visit in a couple of years to marvel at the scenery, meet people, geek out at the LOTR stuff and take in some rugby.

You can buy a chocolate-coated version, but the actual mint cake is pretty much just mint and caramelised sugar. Lots of energy and that “ clean teeth” feel, but pretty unhealthy.

I know I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating; these articles are awesome.

“ That’s the last of the mint cake,” said Sam, wistfully, as they huddled together on the stony mountain slopes of Mordor.. “Oh, Sam,” whispered Frodo, his drawn features breaking in a rare half-smile, “ how I wish we were back in Kendal.”

You can get pemmican in UK but only really in outdoor shops in the more “outdoorsy” areas of the country (Lake District, Highlands etc). I loved Kendal mint cake as a teenager, but find it a bit too sweet nowadays.
