Hello everyone! On my way out from my holiday travels near Toronto, I took a moment to visit the new D&D “Experience” called The Immersive Quest. (Conveniently for me it’s located right near the airport.) Here’s my rundown, thoughts, and review of the whole thing! If the ticket numbers are...

I guess this is mostly a "me too" post. The humorous and now almost cliché aspects of online meetings (silence, then everyone talking over each other, followed by everyone stopping, then you firsts, then more stuff, then 'you're on mute', then...) can also rear their head to get in the way of...

+1 for anything Avro Arrow related! :) Much less exciting, but one I remember driving by in the days of yore: Sculpture of the Big Apple · 262 Orchard Rd, Colborne, ON K0K 1S0, Canada :)

Funnily enough, I'm now sitting near Lake Ontario, here for the holidays. :D Ah yes! I have a copy bought back in the day. Haven't read it in ages, when I get back it could be fun to give it a look through again.

I might be able to take a gander through it, though not run it and not until February timeframe, alas...

From a couple of games: Undead tug-of-war. Halfling is rope. Offered name to fae. Mistake?

I vividly remember that day when we were sitting in a classroom for our lunchtime D&D game as the DM pulled out the Dragon magazine to read that exact question/answer to us. Cue our shock/amazement/slight disbelief, as we had all been pronouncing it to rhyme with snow as, indeed, rhyming with...

Perhaps not, but it's still a non-DnD TSR game that I would like to see recreated. :)

Add my vote for Top Secret! As well as my agreement that the 'revised' TS released a few years ago was not fabulous. I Kickstarted it and got the shiny boxed set, but while the rules had one nifty concept in them (the unified target number ratcheting up and down as mission friction accumulates...

I grew up in Bowmanville. :) Nothing too big or exciting there that might be part of an RPG, except maybe the St Mary's cement company with it's huge vertical furnace (looking all the like a rocket launch gantry) along with its equally huge (though in depth) blasting pit for limestone, as well...

Setting something in the neighbouring town from my own hometown? With a section on the OC? Consider my interest piqued! :) (And it's also close to not just one but two nuke plants... )

Putting aside Catalyst's past Kickstarter performance, I downloaded the quickstart rules and gave them a read through. Overall, colour me not that impressed. The system to me seems at the same time bland, inelegant, and sometimes convoluted all for not much benefit. Plus it has no narrative...

Oh, I'll have to dive into this when I get home. Looks like they ended up going the Lions-only route. And different books for either the classic series or the remake, huh...
