    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    The Charlatan- Non-combat antagonist who really does have magic powers but claims to have DIFFERENT magic powers. Like he claims to turn lead into gold but really he's just teleporting the lead away and teleporting gold in in its place

    Trailer Spaceballs 2: Not the Quest for More Money

    Personally I think History of the World Part 2 was pretty good, the problem was it had a completely different tone than the film

    Recently started rereading Lords and Ladies and was reminded that in Discworldit's MAGNETIC iron that causes special harm to elves/fairies

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    Worn Out Words-I had a fever dream back in 2021 that might make a good adventure or campaign for one of the more mythical RPGs such as Exalted or Nobilis. In short, the words of the world's languages are getting worn out and used up. Someone needs to go on a quest to bring back new words or else...

    Video Games You Wish Existed

    I'd love to see a sequel to Dungeons of Dredmor. Preferably one with a largwr or unlimited inventory so that the late game doesn't turn into clean the attic: the game, as was the achilles heel of the original

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Been playing Deck of Haunts, a combination deckbuilder/basebuilder game where you play as a haunted house and do haunted house stuff to people who enter to investigate It's really good. My only minor gripe is that there's no ability to let you turn the investigators against each other, even...

    Blood Is Life by Miss Anthropy. (Sort of. The vibe is more seduction and sex than romance. But that's adjacent.)

    What are must read short stories?

    I still don't buy it. Two mortal enemies travel through time seems like pretty generic sci-fi. Even if you add the stipulation that one of them saves someone from the time they land in. Plus the Ellison work doesn't seem to include any of the core elements of Terminator, such as robots...

    What are must read short stories?

    While I've never read Soldier of Tomorrow, the plot synopsis that I was able to look up doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Terminator at all. Maybe the summary is leaving a lot out, but the only thing it seems to have in common with The Terminator based on the synopsis is that a...

    Researchers discover a new color (no, not that one)

    I'm pretty sure this could already be seen by people missing either the red or the blue cones in their eyes
