This part makes sense to me. This bit surprises me; I read Gary as extremely prescriptive in many parts of the 1E PH and DMG. He definitely says you can and should customize the rules once you understand them, but he also spells out best practices and modifications to OD&D play procedures and...

This is related to the OP, but formatting like this (short bulleted descriptions and using bold, all caps headers, etc.) are a bit of a different concept than the three motifs and sensory guidelines ideas. I do really like this kind of layout and information presentation, though. Necrotic...

But in the joints? I had a bit of Graston-style scraping done in PT, with one of those dull blade tools, but it was muscular/fascial release work, not to a joint.

Found a couple of quick references. https://pollsandinsights.com/hospitality/diet-coke-a-beverage-with-surprising-demographic-divides/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/hbsworkingknowledge/2013/11/13/gender-contamination-why-men-prefer-products-untouched-by-women/

That was my whole point. Diet Coke is more bitter, so the flavor profiles would imply the opposite demographic split. But the actual split and marketing is based on the naming and branding, not the flavors.

Dr. Pepper Zero is the only canned soda I keep on hand routinely. And 2L bottles of Coke Zero. But 90% of the time I'm having lemon seltzer, so I go through diet soda quite slowly.

Which is kind of hilarious considering how more bitter beverages like whisky or beer are often culturally considered more "manly", but in this case it's the word "diet" being considered more feminine than the word "zero", regardless of the actual flavors. Pure marketing to cultural conditioning.

Kaor! As Willie pointed out, cutting the alcohol from N/A beers does mean they're normally lower calorie than actual beer. People aren't expecting beer to be sweet, so there's not so much sugar. Mocktails OTOH... There's a very distinct bitter tang to Diet Coke for me which isn't present...

I dig the double scout idea. That's pretty sweet.

Better than Paksenarrion?

But Critical Threats are a 3.x mechanic! ;) (And Menace is a Magic: the Gathering keyword/creature ability).

My understanding is that the GMF has broken out of stasis and started getting things done since Paul Stormberg took over from Gail as Chair in 2020. I don't know if they've released any comprehensive updates about the finances or what's become of the funds which were originally raised back in...

"[Mechanic name here]: THREAT OR MENACE?'

I think it also helps that many of the talents include an element of choice (like the ability increase ones, or a bonus to attack rolls which lets you pick melee or ranged), and that they're pretty much all fundamentally "you get better at your job". 31/36 possible results on the Wizard table...

Not offered without any reservations about semantics, and aware that the term has been stretched a bit since Ben Robbins first articulated the concept, but I think we're stretching the term "West Marches" a bit there. West Marches refers to an open table campaign with variable attendees from...

Yeah, definitely got my attention!

If you lose the condescension and engage with a slightly more humble attitude, it would be more pleasant for everyone involved.

Some things that take out your light would hit all of them. Others, like a monster attacking a torch-bearer or throwing a bucket of water on him, would only affect one.
