Cracks me up every time I read it.
I can only imagine Gary furiously banging away on his typewriter "fixing" the spell after some sort of shenanigans was pulled earlier in his game. 😆
For those that have an Instant Pot (IP), I have to share my new way of making quick carne asada inspired by the recipe I got here:
1.5 lb. Beef Chuck, cut in 3/4 in. squares
1 Cup of Beef Broth (I just use Better than Bouillon)
2 Tbsp. Butter
Seasoning (your choice!)
1. Place cubes and broth...

Oh awesome! I had a feeling...
I never heard of the genre until I picked up Slowdive's 2017 Self-Titled album and fell in love. I don't think that CD left my car for months. When I learned it was an entire genre from the 90's I was completely blown away. Been listening to...
Certainly for me.
I prefer my OSR like RPGs to look and feel distant, ancient, and cold. B&W art is the perfect medium for that.
Come to think of it, same is true with my favorite album art:
With so many great reverb pedals on the market, what about this one jumped out at you?
It sounds absolutely fantastic btw and don't want my comment to come off as "sounds just as good as any other reverb". Insight into why guitar players choose the gear they do interests me!
D&D's new "softer" aesthetic really isn't my thing, so always excited to see RPGs with creepy art that conveys just how dangerous and horrifying dungeon delving and/or studying the arcane would really be.
My recent favorites:
Shadowdark
Dragonslayer RPG
Hyperborea:
This of course is "older me" reflecting on the system I loved as a kid.
Truth be told, all my grade school friends and I did was rollup powerful characters to rob banks with, buy crazy gear, rob bigger banks, buy bigger, crazier gear, etc...
One thing I will say about the imbalance in power levels is that it lets you tell different kinds of stories within the same system/universe.
Taking out Gargoyles with your Triax buddies is going to feel completely different than sneaking through the sewers of Chi Town as a group of City Rat...
