I don't think it's a case of not caring for a well-done being a fashion, or putting on airs. When you cook the meat to that point, you are objectively making it tough to chew (through protein denaturation) and cooking off the fat which is providing a lot of the flavour that you'll find in a...

The more you know...

I was a subscriber to Dragon magazine throughout most of the 80s (and maybe into the early 90s?). I remember a series of articles about Mystara where someone would journey to different locations across that setting every month aboard a (flying?) ship. Might have been called the Princess Ark...

Sorry, just saw this, been a busy day. It was not implied by the construction. It would be more correct to say that it was an inference, based on personal experiences. I get that, and am extremely sympathetic to these situations. I'll also add that injustices, of any colour, get up my nose. When...

100% agree... not what I said though, was it?

I understand.

I watched Community religiously when it was on! :) The message in that clip pretty much embodies what I'm talking about. Seeing enemies that aren't there. I mean, there are real threats out there... rarely as many as one who feels threatened thinks there are though. Looks like we will have to...

That is a challenge, absolutely. But it's helpful to remember that for the most part when folks make statements like this, it stems from ignorance or immaturity, not malice. If you take it as a personal affront instead of looking at it through that lens, for sure the challenge level of...

Consider that when you make posts like yours, you just fan flames. If you don't agree with someone, talk to them instead of insulting them. When you go the route you chose to, you are equally complicit in putting us 'where we are in the world'. This is a child's reaction. I would have loved to...

WFRP 4E is an interesting system.

A bit from Column A, a bit from Column B I think; some prep solves other problems your game might develop. But, yes, I agree with your main point: gotta roll with the madness that unfolds once the prep hits the session. Detailed prep is great, even advisable... just be prepared to shift, adjust...

Or the glycyrrhizin, apparently. I mean, I get it. I know a few folks who love the taste of licorice/liquorice/whatever. I'm sure there's a physiological reason why some of us gag at the taste and others love it. It is kind of weird actually... I really do enjoy some flavours that repel a lot of...

Wow!!! That's pretty wild. 40K-75k words is 160-300 pages of notes according to standard words per page! Your entire campaign is ~1600 pages long! That is amazing bookkeeping. Do you publish this anywhere? I'd be interested to scroll through these campaign notes.

I've recently subscribed to Lao Tzu's newsletter, but Helmuth von Moltke the Elder had his hand on my shoulder in those days. I mean... I remember one 1E game. The party was pretty low level... maybe 2 or 3. There was a planned encounter with some equivalently levelled villains; a milestone on...

I haven't run a game in a very long time, but when I did, I'd have to classify myself as a fairly hard-core/attention to detail world designer and adventure prepper. But when the game went down, I was a mad ad libber and dealt with the consequences later.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I am not a fussy eater. I can't think of a 'regional cuisine' I don't enjoy. Heavy on the veg (Vietnamese I think is my current #1), heavy on the meat (a little less of this to be honest... although I do enjoy an annual-ish visit to a rib festival), heavy...

I wasn't proposing a shift... I meant doubling up: a second contest. Maybe not two a year always (or maybe it gets so popular you go with three or four!). Or just have one and make it a Christmas thing. Either/or... the next time you do this, focus on the low barrier to entry. You'll get more...

I'm not sure why I'm suddenly an evangelist for this contest. I think it's because step one was that I saw this announcement and assumed 'only experienced designers and/or wordsmiths need apply'. Why I thought that, who knows, but that was my first impression. But then I read through the...

I get it. I like my original proposal actually, but recognise the limitations of the site's polling features.
