This was my last campaign before my current Traveller Hero game. I had a samurai and a lady sharpshooter from a sideshow, a gentleman thief from Britain, and a former pirate/distinguished businessman, and the quest giver was Emperor Norton. I really hope I get to finish the campaign sometime. I...

Gaslands is a game where you can bring out all those old Matchbox cars, glue guns to them, and play a quick game of post-apocalyptic mayhem.

Oh, cool! I'll have to look for the thread so I can go in and talk about Gaslands and how much better it is than all the other car games...

On the other side of the coin, my HOA voted to remove almost all the trees in the neighborhood (a variety of willows and oaks) and replace them with Bradford Pear trees. My wife hates these trees with a passion. They're weak, so after every storm you have new scratches on your car from flying...

When I moved into my HOA townhouse, I was in my 20s and spending most of my time as a single man working and commuting. Now I have a wife, daughter, and work-from-home job and I understand the HOA much better and will never move into another HOA-controlled neighborhood. One neighbor had two...

You can totally run Arthurian in Ravenloft, but some of the focuses have to shift. Vampires don't really fit with Arthurian elements, so I'd de-emphasize Strahd. On the other hand, werewolves are very Arthurian, with one knight (Sir Melion) being cursed with werewolfism. Using a D&D variant for...

I didn't realize Spotify was pirating songs! Somebody should report the songs and alert the music labels!

Oh, that dog! I mean, Belle Époque has been done to death in video games! Give me the Age of Romanticism! Something interesting, finally!

In case anyone wants to avoid them, I made a list of humor articles and what elements they introduced. I've converted some items to 5E, but i only want to convert stuff that could (theoretically) have a use in the hands of a clever player character. There's a lot of haven't bothered with.

I liked the joke articles that were clever. For instance, one issue had a " Neighborhood of FredTM" expansion that mentioned "new characters classes" that included the arquebusier; that inspired me to build one for AD&D. I will really admit, when there were more than one or two, I generally...

I loved the joke articles. I did a conversion of the Quazar Dragon for 5E, linking it to Tony Caspar's Cosmic Dragon Breviary.

GM: What do you do? Me: I climb the ladder. Other Player 1: No! Other Player 2: What are you doing? GM: ... Are you sure? Me: I climb the ladder. Other Player 2: I want to hide. Is there any place to hide in the room? GM: No... Okay, a hose comes out and sprays the group with- Me: I jump onto...

I suspect a lot of the reason alignment started to be deprecated is because of the way it can be abused to short-cut the investigation aspect of roleplaying games. "I called you all in today because... someone in this room is a murderer! incant incant incant And the only evil person here today...
