I would argue that each and every one of those points also applies to every comic book, even over the course of a four year run. Or over the course of their many runs. Who's faster: Flash or Superman? It depends on what the writer wants. There are very few constants in superhero fiction, two...

To me, that makes sense if the warforged design premise is/was to be the weapons and soldiers of war, so that 'sentient' creatures don't have to undergo the trauma. Ceasing to function after a few years seems a military-industrial complex issue. If our current weapons are always designed to...

If you don't like warforged as an immortal race, you could always imitate the documentary Blade Runner and their replicants and have an 'expiration date'

If I had to guess, I'd say there's every likelihood that they could've went to Faerun before they ever made it home, IF they ever made it home. The D&D cartoon show is essentially a deadlier version of Jumanji, I think. And as far as them disagreeing about Hank being the leader, I know that...

Friendly fire: make a PC.

I don't play a lot of gish, but in games of many genre, I tend to play support characters. For me, I want to have a character who's not the best at Everything, but I want to be versatile. I wouldn't be a fighter/mage because of some Sick Build, but usually because there's some story behind it...

I credit her with my love of lifepath systems for character creation. The first AD&D campaign I joined outside of my home as a teen required the use of her Central Casting: Heroes of Legend. It introduced me to deeper ideas for stories, or even helped create a personality. My character was...

I use the Beyond20 extension, and it syncs up everything between D&D Beyond and Roll20 with all the features to roll on your character sheet and have it sent to the tabletop, including being able to send spell statblocks. Also easily rolls with advantage and disadvantage. Just a suggestion. I...

Not to derail this discussion, but my understanding was that the original alignment was more like Moorcock - it was more important to be aligned to the causes of Law or Chaos than it was to worry about the morality behind it - essentially Lawful Good people were absolutely on the 'same team' as...

Maybe that's the secret - Make an Eberron/Waterdeep cop show.

I don't know if it's 'meta', but since some people like to lay Real World over games sometimes, there are sometimes as people where we might feel we've learned enough that we can handle extra work duties, or handle training others. Sometimes it even manifests as a need or calling to just DROP...

I like the 1e paladin restrictions on magic items for encumbrance: The character may never retain more than ten magic items: 1 suit of armour; 1 shield; 4 weapons; 4 others.

"Nostalgia is our most toxic impulse." -- Judge John Hodgman

To add to the pile of compliments and info about Greyhawk, I'll add my two coppers: What I enjoyed - and found to be 'new tech' when I was starting out late-80s, was the bare bones descriptions of lands, and they boiled down to things like: Who are they warring with? Who are they friends...

I've never gotten around to Sandman, but I've seen that clip through Youtube's knowledge of what I like. Dream yelling at him for presuming they could be friends... only to come back one day and the pub is being demolished. ... I need to go watch that again And it's Hob Gadling, which I...

Don't forget the theory that New Coke was introduced so there would be outrage, and when Coke Classic came back, it would have a new, cheaper sweetener and people would have forgotten the taste of OG Coke. They expected a loss, but would make it back up by the savings. It was then Pepsi...

... which made me think of the videos on Youtube with Thomas the Tank Engine combined with DMX. I'd add a link, but the vocabulary is... growed-up.

Who knows about inflation, but with the ways people have to play with Amazon's algorithm.... Who knows. http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/04/25/amazon.price.algorithm/index.html

Guns clear out the security.

Glad to see this. I just got back from a road trip to Harlan, KY to lay flowers at my boys' grandmother's grave, and ever since the Old Gods stories started coming out, every time I've been back there, I definitely feel how a place like that could be ripe for all that stuff.
