You can get pemmican in UK but only really in outdoor shops in the more “outdoorsy” areas of the country (Lake District, Highlands etc). I loved Kendal mint cake as a teenager, but find it a bit too sweet nowadays.

Energy bars are so great for hikes; I always think lembas! Back in the day, we had Kendal mint cake. Is that a thing in USA?

Hopefully Luke will appear in it. Hopefully Ernie won’t.

Wow! Superb read. Thank you so much.

Very good in a Steampunk setting or Victoriana of some kind.

I'm 59 and was also playing the kind of OD&D that this Alex bloke was playing in the 1980s, and I hated fascists then and I still do, whether they're dressed up as Alt-Right, MAGA, NuTSR or whatever crap labels they spout in support of their performative hatred and false victimhood. And just as...

In late 70s/early 80s UK, the punk scene was hugely important to me (though I no longer have green spikes hair nowadays!) but it’s influence on my D&D was probably more in terms of attitude ( as @Ralif Redhammer suggests) than in actual gaming culture. I leant a lot on the books I’d read...

A paper dragon called Lindisfarne eating all the magical scrolls is such a cool concept.

Just started running Scarlet Citadel with my group and we’ve adopted the new rules as a play test. Only one session into the campaign, but so far so good.

No dangerous wildlife in UK, though bison have been reintroduced near where I live, which is superb news. I did have a friend in primary school who was actually savaged by a squirrel! It was pretty bloody at the time, though I suspect being known thereafter as “squirrel boy” was probably worse.

My horse didn't get eaten by the owlbear because the griffin got to it first. By the time the owlbear arrived, there was only me left! Seriously, hiking is both beautiful and hard work. The longest/toughest I've ever done personally was 25 miles per day for three days with 50lb packs on arduous...

In a bizarre coincidence, when I was 18 one of my gaming mates had one of these “cars” and we actually crashed into someone’s front garden, late at night on the way back from playing D&D! So this thread hasn’t become entirely derailed.

Hawkmoon/Runestaff would make a wonderful TV series. The portrayal of a feral, bloated and cruel Granbretan, heroically resisted by a hero from mainland Europe would certainly strike a zeitgeist right now, as well as giving a dig to the UK equivalent of those who support the values of LaNasa...

Hello, Mr LaNasa. As you know from EN World, I come from the East End of London, and I happen to have a bridge that I'd be willing to sell...

Agreed. It surprises me that Elric has never had big screen treatment. Same applies to Corum and Hawkmoon too.

Now if the UK House of Lords included silver dragons, storm giants, centaurs, goblins, lizard men and wolfweres, the funeral in Westminster Abbey yesterday would have been worth watching!

Eyes reflecting in the firelight’s ebb, some distance beyond true light. And movement..... I don’t really worry too much about rules for camping ( light spells, good berry etc), but I do use the atmospherics of being sat around a campfire, in a pitch Black Forest, with a light rain falling and...

Can you imagine the film ending with Kirk Douglas standing and all around him others stand up, shouting, “I’m Justin LaNasa!”
