This discussion reminds me of how The Simpsons writers would regularly lament that the gags with the least amount of payoff (the opening "couch gag" and chalkboard joke and, to a lesser extent, Bart's prank phone calls) required the most amount of effort. The team of writers would sometimes sit...

I think they've done it once since the pandemic and wound up with a COVID-19 breakout, so they switched it to virtual the following year and haven't resumed in-person since. I wonder if cost effectiveness is also a factor.

I wish they'd go back to an in-person format for PaizoCon. They could just do it hybrid and not lose the online contingent.

I mean, what's a powerful wizard supposed to do against a toddler with a club?

Off topic, but this trilogy really cemented Junior High Me's love for Shadowrun as a setting.

Guys, I am begging you not to turn this thread into another ourobouros of racial ability scores debate. As to the topic at hand: I'd like to see them break away from some of the expected patterns and formats; I don't mean odddities like the Book of Many Things and the slipcases, but throwing...

(I kid, but I actually didn't hate this concept.)

Sightation needed.

"ZeFRS"--which is David "Zeb" Cook's '80s Conan roleplaying game with the IP filed off--is already very cheap, but a throwback oddity and casualty of licensing lapses. Plus it has, er, distinctive cover art. ZeFRS

Yes, I quite like how this one is understated, but still on-theme.

Sword Coast Legends 2 at last!

Yes, correct--I phrased it as "200th adventure path module" in an attempt to avoid confusion. It's 200 issues, and #200 is a stand-alone module rather than the usual multi-parters.

As long as we are talking about official TTRPG soundtracks, Pathfinder has one to commemorate it's 200th adventure path module, Seven Dooms for Sandpoint.

Ah, I misread the question and thought we were just talking about new D&D tie-in novels! Some light googling suggests it is mostly set in "Shatterspace," with the protagonist having grown up on an asteroid, so it seems no Realms here. Carry on.

There's also the Spelljammer novel "Memory's Wake."

Grocery stores are a good bet. Walgreens tend to stock a lot of these "special interest" one-off magazines, at least in my area. And, as you already know, Barnes and Noble has a wide magazine selection. It looks like you can buy the "special issues" from Time's online store, but they don't...

Why do you say that? Writing style? Mohan's position? For that matter, any guesses on this one?

I'm actually a big fan, but I think it's going through some growing pains. It's well worth attending, particularly if you're fond of earlier editions/OSR stuff.

It was noticeably much more crowded and hectic this year! I wonder if that's the new norm or a combination of the 50th anniversary year/the Gygax kids amping up their hustle. I love the Grand Geneva as a venue, though Gary Con now seems to push its resources to the limit. What does "egos at the...

You (maybe) know I'm there. Still 1000+ regular ("Silver") weekend passes left as of this typing, though I suspect they will eventually sell out like last year.
