Gygax actually directly addressed that in the AD&D rules. The summary being that the books were the definitive rules.

Power went out about 8:30 AM at my place and my battery turned on in backup mode (whole house batteries are not UPS so I have my computer plugged into an actual UPS for the less than one second the house battery needs to take over). I run the battery to 40% each day but I can switch to just...

I read that as a snarky and sarcastic answer, not the absolute proof that it seems to be regarded as.

And pulling a permit from your town, which the electrican should do. I have 2 chargers, one in my garage and one on the side of my house. Both can be set to need the app to turn them on. Pretty much every home charger I see are app controlled and can have that setting.

Same for me. I did have to authorize the towing company to allow the adjuster to inspect the car but that is such a usual thing that they had a simple form for that. Once they gave me an offer and I accepted, the insurance company did everything else. It was all in the acceptance form and then...

Insurance company does not just buy it from you? That is what happened when my ex-wife totaled my car.

I met Gary once at a Gencon in Kenosa outside when I was smoking a cigarette. The 10-15 minutes we chatted without me even knowing who he was (could not see the name on his badge until finished smoking) was good. Other than that, I really like the game system he was a primary inventor on and I...

I was able to install a 240 volt level 2 charger without upgrading my panel. Depends on how robust your existing panel, it basically is adding an extra electric dryer to your house. Trickle charging with a 120 volt charger is fine for my daughter and her Leaf as she doesn't drive more than 20...

Smaller hatchback I would recommend the Nissan Leaf. A big step up is the Tesla Model 3. I would look at the tax incentive for each and the final net cost. Level 2 charger at home is the easiest way to make sure the car is ready and charged. Tesla has the best charging network. For the Leaf I...

BTW - I someone wanted to "friend" me on the TTE site, PM me and I will send you my name so you can find me.

I got my gold badge and will be there again next year. I did not find last year overly crowded. I did not get sick and nmost nof my group of friends did not. A few did, flu or covid, but that is a risk at any larger event in enclosed spaces. I wash my hands a lot, so that may have helped or I...

There was a lawsuit around the last social media explosion where the companies licensing were damaged and these things were settled. I am not sure if Goodman Games paid something to buy some titles outright or won them as damages. In theory something went to Judges Guild (at least in the past)...

They added a proper all the new books and none of the additional stuff, so I backed that instead of just DCC.

The pledges for the books are terrible if you live in the USA. They rapidly go up on Amazon at a discount, they have a code for a free pdf in the book and you get free shipping. They also don’t have a clean all the new stuff 5e and DCC pledge that does not include t-shirts and dice and other things.

It’s the main OSR system I play. It stops at AC 9 which for me means not AD&D, but is pretty much captures much of the flavour of early Gygax D&D. The Clark Ashton Smith inspired world is well done and the races are all humans and the details for them are completely fluff (there are no...

I am not interested in 3D. There are a lot more features for a VTT that I care about moe than 3D

I have been using FG for 8 years now and the interface is 2nd hand to me. It is a VTT interface and really good at that. Could be better but gets an unfair reputation. They did an update a few years ago that made it better. I was happy to hear the news, I personally think they need better...

There is no need to have an Asian only group of writers to work on a setting in Asia just like there is no need to for only people of European descent to work on other areas. You just need a writer or a team of writers that can write interesting material that holds together well as a game...

I have written this before, lived in Asia several times and the real cultural experts are there but their views do not often match the immigrant culture that moved to places where these books are written and published. My experience is that the mono-cultures in Asia are as good with the...
