To better my understanding, what's your rough guess on how many years the 5 campaigns took in total?

One trend that I've noticed in terms of designer intentions, are games that have systems which explicitly encourage play towards other goals besides combat encounters and loot. Setting obvious like BRP aside which developed roughly the same time, I think everyone agrees that combat and loot...

This hold true in terms of being a presence in ppls' lives. Separate from the IP which has an official game, I expect there will be some influence coming from it. (e.g. I mean, I have cabbage guy in my campaign...)

Can confirm, among the 1st characters I played in AD&D was a kenku.

Through the past few decades, I've come across more quotes from Sir Terry Prachett's body of work, particularly the Discworld series, than the others.

Some of the responses elsewhere I've encountered with this article, is that Mearls' attempts to set up game iteration based on the conceit of generation, but cites examples that are supposed to be definitive, yet are ones that had been in use decades prior to when he places them-- just not in...

I'll defer to UK/Commonwealth ppls, as it was some time back when I went (I've gone a few times). Most places probably don't hand cut stuff anymore unfortunately. Do have family who were American ex-pats in the North for 20 years; they commented a lot after they moved back about the thickness...

The closest "style" of fry in the US that'd be like one from a chippie shop would be the steak fry. "...steak fries and British chips are not the same. While steak fries are thick and rectangular, British chips are thicker and cut into long, oblong-shaped pieces. British chips also have a...

Tater Tots (in case any one would find it interesting!)

I'm not versed with Superman, but my casual impression was that he can with the Fortress, do some scientific stuff that is advanced in terms of technology, but that's mostly due to access or knowledge he may have? But Luthor's intelligence is a different magnitude; he accomplishes stuff with...

Like most series or movies where the audience is steeped in a place, or have expertise in a career field they then see depicted, often this comes up as criticism; it's valid. When the first season of The Walking Dead came out, it was a big topic.

I have read this elsewhere, but maybe someone who saw the film recently (or more than once) can help. Early in the film, as Malik went to help Superman up out of the crater in the street, did he ask a relative to keep an eye on the food cart? Second, when Luthor was threatening Malik, did...

I'm ecstatic that I can say I've at least heard one or two of the nominations in each of categories!

Games adjacent to Triangle Agency that just came to mind are ofc the older Delta Green, but also The Laundry!

Re: Science-y stuff in super hero films; this one is a classic:

I've not followed Superman stories incredibly closely, but can understand people questioning this change. There was a bit of a reaction to this in the theater I was in. I feel at least for this film; it highlighted Clark's feelings over "what should I be doing in light of this?" part of the...

You may know, but an eraser does remove dry erase marker from your map, in case that happens! (I use a combination of Chessex and small dry erase boards. I ended up labeling the container I put dry erase markers in as a check to avoid that.)

As an action summer movie, it was entertaining! Most of the audience in my showing were older than I was (so definitely had seen the 1978 movie). It could've benefited possibly from a slightly longer run time, or perhaps a bit more attention to Clark's every day with the cast at the Daily...

In the moment what you decided I think was fine! Deliberating now, I feel like if it were me, I would ask the player to make an Athletics or maybe a Dexterity check of some kind vs. an attack roll, to touch. The dragon may not be purposefully avoiding the character, or is distracted by what the...
