    Whatever the setting, we'll see the return of XP for GP dogecoin.

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    TO be sure, "not good" doesn't have to relate to making money. It could relate to employee safety and treatment, customer service, environmental or community responsibility, investor accountability, and so forth. All those things can be "not good" and still result in tons of money being made...

    Hasbro Stock Price Surges After Elon Musk Makes Comments About Purchasing Company

    Aaand now D&D is getting sucked into the nonsensical vortex of money-bro meme stonks. Just great.

    gritty industrial/sci-fi horror RPG recommendation?

    It's a RPG genre I'm not too familiar with, but I'm interested in picking up a game to learn. I kind of prefer lighter weight games, but strong genre mechanics are also important, imo, for such worlds with such atmospheric settings. In poking around, I've seen a quite a lot about Alien and...

    The older i get the less I need.

    I can sympathize. I've always been a minimalist, and gone through a couple major purges. For the most part, i don't really regret anything I've gotten rid of, though I have reacquired a handful of things here and there. However, what I've found in the last ten years or so, as I've played so...

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    Presumably he'll insist on reintroducing an even edgier, modernized Harlot Table in this brave new edition of Doges & Dragons.

    D&D General What creature did you introduce against type that turned out great?

    I used an otyugh as a local crime boss named Glarbage Gligh, aka "Mister G". His organization was mostly a smuggling ring, though he could make pretty much anything or anyone disappear for a price. Payment for his services generally involved some combo of gold (for his henchmen) and a big bag of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The logical conclusion: Human: "Aww, what an adorable robo--" Smol robot: "EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!"

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    To be fair, though, his pulpit thumping in High Gygaxian does make for a fun-to-read screed. I could practically hear the gauntlet at the feet of the The New Gamer Establishment with that last pulse-pounding declaration.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Weird spin on the whole medusa turn-to-stone thing. No word if the victim was a bard or paladin, though. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9jr3y8gv5o

    D&D General Dinosaurs in your campaigns

    And now I'm wondering what this kraken might draw on another other tentacle to lure in naturists. :unsure:

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah, that stuff really gums up the typewriter.

    D&D General Dinosaurs in your campaigns

    Yeah, dinos have been pretty common in my experience, starting with Isle of Dread. Quite a few prehistoric jungle islands or subterranean lost worlds type adventures over the years. Also the odd one-off uses here and there (like when some miners accidentally released some undead velociraptor...

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    If he wasn't in a position to influence the creation of a literal Woke Police or some such nonsense, it'd be just kind of stupid funny and pathetic. As it is, though, this sort of thing leaves me feeling vaguely nauseous. And I say that as a middle-aged cishet white guy. I can't imagine how...

    Hasbro Confirms New Unannounced Dungeons & Dragons Video Game in Development

    I'm betting on a game with a story loosely based on Tyranny of Dragons, built on the Flappy Bird engine.

    What Property Do You Still Want to See Get a TTRPG Adaptation

    I think a rpg based on The Prisoner would be nice for a short campaign. I know GURPS did a supplement for the series, but not sure if it's been attempted since.

    A Child's Logic

    "Wash your ears, or you'll grow potatoes!" I don't know the degree I really believed it, but that concept of "ear potato" used to freak me out. So much so, in fact, that I've riffed on the idea for a few D&D games.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Interesting to see it (finally) not falling for the "since the user mentions it, i must talk about it" trick. Last week, chatgpt gave me all sorts of information about "the allegory of the duck" in a variety of novels like The Road, Dune, or The Grapes of Wrath. I would chastise it for lying...
