Huh. TIL there's a lot of nerd stuff out there that I have no connection with. But love that others do... Yes, echoing pukunui - thanks the explanation

Letting my mind wander along fantasy trails and avenues while backpacking or long hiking is a favorite passtime. I may still someday run or write my element bending mashup with Pullman's golden compass (at least the little partner critter-daemons part) rpg. Or maybe it'll just stay out on the...

Haven't read Metrophage, but I'm slowly slowly working my way through the Sandman Slim novels. Kadrey is kind of underrated I think.

And of course GURPS Cyberpunk

So while I was traveling, I finished Ursula K LeGuin's third Earthsea book, The Farthest Shore. I remember as a callow youth not liking it. I felt like it was too sad. But this time reading it, I took a much different message away. That in spite of things looking really bleak, you keep going...

Is this related to SM Stirling's Nantucket series?

On my list, he's a great hard SF writer. Lucky to be reading it for the first time, and your characterization of it is 110% correct, imo

Yes, 100%. We always backpack with a bear box, even when we went to Santa Catalina Island, where there are no bears, but there are little rodents that'll eat through your pack to get at anything that smells remotely like food. The hard plastic bear box is a great storage location for the food...

Oh! I never thought about mountain lions attacking you in the night as you pee. Great! I love backpacking, but as your ongoing saga shows, there's a ton of little things that we take for granted in our daily lives that when backpacking are potentially dangerous (the water thing is another!)

What I took the answer to be buried in the back and forth is 5e24 doesn't have a concept of "product identity" due to stuff being published CC. Did your lawyer's ask for the product identity list after you had provided them with the current CC BY license for 5e24? That seems strange.

Cities without Number The Veil; and a supplement the Veil Cascade. Also, someone's got time on their hands: https://www.ageofravensgames.com/rpg-histories/#Cyberpunk

I have found 5e Warlocks boring; but maybe my next 5e24 character will be a chainlock.

Heard. That said, she did lose a spouse relatively recently.

So BG3 sold more than all the other games combined. Not really a surprise.

It does say the Return to Perinthos (c) 2025 by RV Games; but also licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Assume the NC means Non-Commercial; but otherwise I'm not going to actually view the license. Couldn't you just contact the folks who put it out?

Thank you, I don't get it either. But I do like the art

Serious Trampier vibes here, something about the eyes maybe? https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-d-d-memes-thread.693664/post-9725984

I don't know why, but for whatever reason the vegetation hidden front door makes me think of this as a super-exclusive night club, with 2b being where the coat-check person sits, using 3 and 4 as the the check-rooms/break rooms for the bouncers who are both of the visible and invisible variety...

Best use of cockroaches in any work of fiction, ever (not a spoiler, really - it's world-building)

Imagine if the first RPG was based on Narnia, aka portal fantasy. Still had troupe play; but so many of the tropes are different.
