When my daughter was born in 2023, I was showing her photo to some guys at work, and one of them said, "Oh, is that your granddaughter?" And I instantly grew 30 years older and felt my knees and back pop and my teeth fall out.

Man, I hope Cardinal Bellini gets elected. I loved his cooking/travel show!

A typical case of a solution in search of a problem. Doesn't mean the solutions don't solve problems, just that people were "getting by just fine, thanks," beforehand.

Listen, there wasn't more than a fringe market for the luggable, either. Common wisdom is that they only designed and built it to compete with the Compaq Portable, which also didn't really have a market.

It occurred to me after I replied, that the Witchlight Carnival portion should not run on fairytale logic. That chapter specifically takes place somewhere else in the multiverse -- Greyhawk, Faerûn, Hârn, Éire, Ägyptos, or some other place with extra umlauts/accents/carets in its name. That...

Back in the day, my dad brought home a luggable -- an IBM Portable Personal Computer 5155 model 68 they used at RCA. That thing was a beast, with two 512K floppy disk drives (one to run the OS, and the other for programs!), a motherboard with 8 slots (so much expansion capability), and 640KB of...

There is "fairytale logic," certaInly! But for consistency, my old table at the hobby shop liked being able to logic their way through (for some values of "logic"). This will be a fresh table with unknown playstyle, so I will keep your suggestions fresh at hand. My old table would have...

That's certainly one way to do it. I've run a lot of very linear scenarios, especially in the 4E days, because my time slot is 2 hours every Wednesday and that's not a lot of time for being sidetracked. But I prefer to let my players choose their course of action using the information provided...

Mmmm... New England clam clowder...

Agreed. If you want the grinder to work better you should do what I do: I have an industrial-strength room-sized vacuum chamber to remove friction due to air molecules. It produces the finest ground coffee. Only REAL coffee connoisseurs do it correctly!

Sure, but how are the PCs supposed to know where to go next? They're at the Carnival, how do they know what to do next? Mister Witch and Mister Light send them to the Feywild, but what are they supposed to do there? They might meet Sir Talavar shortly after arriving, but they don't have to. But...

As I've been sifting the information on Hither and putting together my notes of replacement elements, I've been considering how the PCs come to find out which hag of the Hourglass Coven has their Lost Thing. The way the module uses (the only way) for the PCs to find out, is to successfully...

Interestingly, the Clash's Shane MacGowan never had his earlobe bitten off by Mad Jane. It was a fan who cut it off, who did it with a broken bottle to show how much they loved MacGowan. Humans are weird.

The Witchlight Beer Festival This is another little PDF with 7 pages of content for the first chapter of WBW. It's supposed to be another location you can add into the Carnival, but it's weird. Like, I'm not a professional writer of RPG material, so maybe I shouldn't talk. But I buy a lot of RPG...

If I had a nickel for every time I was bitten by a raging barista while reaching for my venti iced caramel macchiato with almond milk and an extra shot of espresso (caramel drizzle divided equally in the bottom and on top of the foam, with light ice, add 3 pumps of mocha syrup, 2 pumps of toffee...

Yes, AI is increasingly used for creating content and generating posts on social media platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook, reports from WIRED and NPR indicate. While some AI-generated content is used for legitimate purposes, there's also a rise in AI-generated spam and fake content, especially...

Hmm... it was supposed to be in reply to the employee biting the customer meme, but I seem to have deleted the post from my reply.

If you're an athlete, then no, you're not going to get fired. If you're a stockbroker, you're probably also okay. That's considered a valid tactic in negotiating for more millions worth of compensation. If not, then you're going to get dropped so hard, you're going to shoot right through the earth.

Sure, they seem fair and balanced, but that's just what Big RPG wants you to believe! It's a trillion dollar... a year... industr- snerk Okay, I couldn't keep a straight face even through my own joke...

The Witchlight Carnival - Erdan's Homebrew This is a little PDF with 7 pages of content for the first chapter of WBW. It contains one DM's modifications to the chapter for his campaign, taking place in Daggerford in the Forgotten Realms. The first page has a d8 table of new Carnival Prizes (one...
