D&D has spent the last 50 years being a lot of frequently contradictory things to an enormous number of people. So I am confused by the premise of the question.

Sample adventure: two unpopular teenagers perform a ritual with loincloths on their heads and summon a wise sexy genie who teaches them life lessons. She turns one teens' brother into an otyugh.

And Authority is the best (Lovecraftian) office comedy of all time. And thanks for the heads-up about a 4th Southern Reach book! I can read it before the next James S.A. Corey series hits.

Fixed anti-fiend shield with dynamite.

Why do people keep painting? ie, people's responses to game mechanics are often as aesthetic as they are utilitarian.

I think Kano crossed a line.

Space 1999? I want to play the guy who has an inappropriate workplace romance with Computer!

I use friendly-fire, but sparingly. The goal isn't added 'realism'. It's to give the player an interesting choice. When PCs shoot without a clear line of fire there'a a chance they hit an ally. I smile, remind them of this, and say, "don't roll low".

OK, this episode was great. Give the showrunner a crack at Kreia. She’s said in interview she wants to do Knights of the Old Republic (II).

Will they deal with devils?

Much better than last episode. Pros: fight choreography, Sith reveal was logical, if totally Scooby-Doo. Cons: art direction, most of the characters I like are now dead. Is Star Wars YA? I saw the original movie in a theater at age 8. Yes, always. (except Andor)

Didn’t exactly make sense. Did put tears in my eyes at one point. It made the season far less ambitious in the end, but also fairly satisfying. Not bad after last weeks lackluster penultimate episode.

@Atlatl Jones is a smart man. Or, rather, a hyper-intelligent, completely amoral pseudodragon.

I see we have similar campaigns.

Using that definition, most of my groups have been playing in the New School style since roughly 1990. I recall my first impression after being introduced to tabletop RPGs a few years prior was, "Oh, these are games where you play the main characters of a genre novel."

Wasn’t Patrick Weekes an ENWorld member back in the day?

They finally used the laser.

Poorly. (using Apple Notes)
