Upon further review, the main question and possible answers were as follows. So a heavy emphasis on the "collect" or "ownership" aspect -- which makes sense, because that is what is insurable. The physical items. Not the nebulous experience of playing. :) The 2nd and 3rd responses are...

I wonder how much they emphasized “collect” in “collect and play”. Because I have numerous friends who regularly play games, but only a few of us collect them.

Magic creates energy and matter out of nothing, meaning that the gameworld is constantly adding both to its (locally) closed system. I’m not a scientist so I’m not sure what would happen, but I’m pretty sure it would be bad.

I learned in my googling that the dragons in Reign of Fire (the ridiculous post-drapocalypse movie that wastes both Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey) were based on Vermithrax’s design, just a little more dinosaur-like. I suppose McConaughey’s character in that movie was some kind of...

They say the only way to overcome a craving is to give into it. OK. I’m pretty sure “they” don’t say that, but I recommend it.

If nothing else she has one of the most badass NAMES in dragon history, right up there with Kizarvexius. And if you recognize that name you’re a grognard like me.

Oh man this takes me back. Umm… I’m looking here — List of prestige classes Thaumaturgist for that Enochian feel Basically everything from Defenders of the Faith because I like the holy types. Especially Knights of the Chalice and Middle Circle. Manual of the Planes… the names all bleed...

Maybe Fang of Lolth from Song & Silence, or its upgraded Dread Fang of Lolth from Drow of the Underdark? Or Arachnomancer from the Drow book?

We pause at (92) long enough to wax poetic about the spirit of collaboration among academ -- no; sorry. I still can't type that with a straight face. This time we came to College Arcane by way of Delmer, so at least we don't die stupidly to a Fire Trap. Instead we comment that we know that...

4 We tread the same mountain trail we remember from the last time we used it when we were "a ragged orphan knowing nothing of magic." A couple of times we have to hide from wagons full of filthy wounded gnolls coming from the "rugged interior" where Thayne's people dwell. Dalris comments that...

75 Jackpot! This is a two page info dump which I’ll sum up. Wendel informs us that the paladins “who were guarding the vicious humanoids in Seagate’s old prison colony” are now officers and organizers of “an evil horde of gnolls, goblins, and other dregs of Tikandian society.” Dalris tells...

We turn up the gameplay speed again and zip past (98) where Garn offers to lead a resistance movement and onto the ship at (106). At the bottom of that section, our path is determined based on what we learned from Shanif: (2) if “a marid” told us a tale about a demon named ‘Pazuzeus’; (80) if...

Commentary: Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. This numbered section saves us from the drawn-out death sentence that is a trip to College Arcane. However, even with our meta-game(book) hat on, there was no way we could know for certain which of the two reasonable questions to ask Shanif: the...

[if we learned from Shanif about "a pair of adamantite crowns"] 213 We don't know what "that thing" was, but we "think" we understand how Arno "summoned it" [aieeeee!] and "perhaps" how to send it back. We ask Dalris if she remembers what the marshy marid told us, because in addition to WIS...

Onto another riff: Meme Paladin is… A paladin constructed entirely from memes about paladins. (Lawful Stupid, “Too Slow, Sister!”, carries late-era 3e mount in Pokeball) A paladin who derives his powers from memes. A paladin who gets his powers from the D&D gods like normal but who fights on...

My friend tried to bring a Revised Ranger_v6.3_final.doc.finallyfinalreally.docx to the table, but we had to tell him no. That’s a bridge too far.

They slayed me with Revised Ranger_v6.3_final.doc Like I was Revised Ranger_v6.3_final.doc’s favored enemy.

Red and blue beams streaked across the heavens, illuminating the clouds below. The red are the bad guys and the blue are the good guys, right? ;) — They left the oppressive Mystic Order cult they were born into to explore the galaxy. They only speak through a rare or ancient language...
