Still seems to be alive and well in the midwest. At least Minneapolis and Milwaukee. In Milwaukee, Mader's has signed photos of celebrities from Alfred Hitchcock to Billie Eilish. Manny's Steakhouse in Minneapolis also comes to mind for keeping up the tradition of celebrity signed-photos...

My dad's side of the family were dairy farmers and the farm had been in the family for over a century. Over 700 acres. There was an area that was junk yard (old tractor/truck/car graveyard), a barn that had been hit by a tornado and they just built a new barn in another area and left the old...

What's the history of this song? Was it just something an old EN Worlder created and posted as a lark? Or is there something more infernal going on here? I've always found it suspicious that Waunakee's motto is "The Only Waunakee in the World." What dark things have they done to keep it that...

I've run low-prep games with more collaborative world building. I tried using tools like Cityographer and Dungeonographer (now both replaced with all-in-one Worldographer). I found Cityographer to be great to generate villages and towns on the fly. It would generate settlements on the fly with...

Yeah, this observation always causes me to get an ear bug of Shel Silverstein's song "The Winner" that Bobby Bare made famous:

There are various mods that you can use for this, but I've become cautious about recommending mod-heavy approach. They often involve an investment in time to learn and apply only to break on the next update. I've gone back to a more keep it simple approach. I don't use landing pages any more...

I like that idea, to keep it a meaningful mechanic. But in my current campaign, I'm trying to keep a slow burn on XP awards. I'm running The Enemy Within (just finished the 2nd book, Death on the Reik, yesterday) but I started with the adventure in the Starter Set and have worked in the 5...

The fall of Castle Wittgenstein (WFRP 4e)

Amazon Fire Cube in the living room. Smart TV in the guest room.

Thanks!

@TheSword I notice on your landing page, where you list out the PC's motivations (great idea to emphasize it and keep it in the players' minds BTW), I notice that you have skill buffs listed, and +# [skill], e.g. "and +5 Charm". Is that part of the motivation goal or an additional reward?

I went pretty crazy with landing pages for a while. Foundry was almost a second hobby for me. I put a bunch of effects, Easter eggs, links to content to give players something to play around with why waiting for everyone to join or when we were going over housekeeping. But the effort versus...

Other threads are sending me back to the Pineapple Express more than usual this evening. I much prefer Kickstarter backer drama to remain in Kickstarter's comment section. (Well, Backerkit in this instance. Point still applies.)

Hey now, give me a break, I've not learned how to doodle in my mind yet!

Reading some of the recent threads in EN World is giving me nightmare flashes of studying Secured Transactions 25 years ago. So I come hop on the Pineapple Express and Snarf makes everything better. The Lincoln attribution made me choke on my tea. Snarf is an EN World treasure.

I understand the OPs and other folks' feeling that the retrospective art pages could have been better used for more adventure content. But the first thing I did when I got to book was flip through the book to the retrospective art sections for each adventure. I love that stuff and I like mixing...

Sorry if posted earlier in the thread, but can anyone recommend a good summation video of the first two seasons?

Yeah, I go in cycles in terms of how active I'm on the site. But even when I'm very busy or go on a strict social-media diet, I still find myself checking out the site for the news post fairly regularly. Its a bit of a goldilocks gaming forum. When I get into a new system I'll go to Reddits...
