Headmaster Brisko, if only because he gave us "Evil Power-Hungry Cartographer" as a possible career choice. (Also, his Headmaster partner robot as "Fangry," which is a word I have used to apply to grumpy cats since I was like eight.) My first two Transformers were Thundercracker and Prowl, so I...

Huh. This kinda goes along with something I've been thinking since I chimed in on this thread: It almost feels like "if they've had a mini made in the WotC era, they might be an 'iconic'." Lady Vol and Lord of Blades both have minis (admittedly, I know just about nothing about Eberron. Not a...

Yup. Legends. And he had his own novel, as well as a few appearances in others. Like I said, I largely remember him from Ed Greenwood's Dragon Magazine articles. Plus he had a mini (finally). I'm wondering it Krynn would be better recognized by classes/archetypes than specific PCs: Solmanic...

Fett, Jedi in general, Snake-Eyes, Gambit, Wolverine...

I've also been trying to pick the Dragonlance iconics. I agree with everyone who has answered, but I think I'd add Dalamar, thanks to Wizards Three in the real world and head of the Conclave in-world. But overall, for non-Krynnophiles, Soth and Raistlin are really the only ones I think a...

It's kind of a shame. That sort of controversy doesn't seem to hook teens like it used to.

I COMPLETELY forgot to address Mark David Chapman, John Hinkley, Jr., or Kurt Cobain in my response. :) (ETA: We do talk about it in my class, though. I take a day to go thought the censorship history.)

Ooooh boy. /Sam Beckett voice. There are a few things working against Catcher, starting with what @overgeeked mentioned: Americans like to be pissy about what they're assigned to do in school. And yes, Holden Caulfield is whiny, especially when you look at the fact he's from a VERY...

Agree. I tried to run the Rebellion starter (with the remains of a Pathfinder group that kind of dissolved), but the players just didn't get into the narrative "explain how they succeed" part of dice rolls and were content with math rocks addition and subtraction. Beautiful books though.

Sounds like a suggestion to add to my "The Next 'Catcher in the Rye'" Essay prompt. (Basically, my students need to find a coming of age story, read it, compare its tenets against "Catcher" and argue for it as a replacement for "Catcher" in the curriculum. For kids who get stuck or don't know...

ORRRRRRRKlahoma! Where the WAAAGH comes sweepin' down the plain! (That's...that's remarkably accurate, actually.)

LOL. Thanks. When it first went up, I was hoping to help our social workers get a therapeutic gaming group off the ground at work. I figured this might be a useful tool. That plan fizzled, but I figure I can still add it to my own resource library.

So, I backed this out of curiosity. Just got an email the the infringement issue has been cleared up and pledges are back open. Let's see where it goes now.

Merch pre-orders are up. I'm surprisingly not interested; if I end up going to the release tapping, I might get a tshirt. Overall, though, what's offered and for what it costs doesn't interest me, personally, a lot. https://shopping.newhollandbrew.com/collections/dungeons-dragons-x-dragons-milk...

I remember when Jones Soda did the D&D x-over in 4th edition. I got a Drow Assassin mini with that six-pack. I'm a fan of New Holland, so this piques my interest, both the beer and the bourbon-style whiskey. Naturally, also curious about the merch. I figure it's worth enjoying the ride as...

Oh, I was speaking for myself. For classroom management purposes. Having been on all sides of this (as the bystander to the dumb kid who brought the sword, as myself as the dumb kid who brought the sword, and as the adult in the room who needed to tell the dumb kids that they can't bring the...

Just in time for the new school year.

Pick up in store by Tuesday. Nice.

Whoa. I know that dude IRL and did not know he had a podcast. That's a heck of a TIL. Gonna need to check that out.

I know this is an old thread necroed, but I I know that there's some epic-level thread necromancy going on here, but I gotta say, the 3.5 Ed DL Campaign Setting/Races of Ansalon Minotaurs were some of the best-written Minotaur PCs I've read. I had a blast playing my Minotaur cleric back then.
