It’s been a little while :rolleyes: since I updated my story hour, so I thought I’d make a thread of art inspired by the game. I’ve used DALL-E and DreamStudio to generate the images over the past several months, which has been an interesting and sometimes frustrating experience: I must have...

AGLA appears in medieval and later magical charms and on talismans, and might be a Goetic or Kabbalistic notarikon for ʾAtā gībōr ləʿōlām ʾĂḏōnāy, "Thou, O Lord, art mighty forever." This one looks like Dr John Dee's talisman. The 3.5 Tome of Magic draws heavily on medieval grimoires.

The great thing about Fallout 4 is that with its huge mod support you can tweak it to your liking. I prefer it in survival mode with various environmental/nuclear winter mods, use alternate start, and always ignore the main story. Fallout: London is a fan-created mod (bigger than the base game)...

Love the games. Just watched the first 2 episodes. This show is awesome. Completely nailed it and then some.

D&D doesn't generally do a good job of modelling anything real (society, religion, economy, technology - you name it), but rather exists as its own, self-reinforcing paradigm, where its various quirky elements support its idiosyncratic structure. We know, in a general sense, that religion is a...

When I play AD&D, I use the Old Ways.

If I were an originalist, and spent hours poring over the 1E rulebooks attempting to divine their meaning - and I'm not, but let's assume I were - I think it's clear there are circumstances (lycanthropy, transformation to undead, divine ascension etc.) under which a PC explicitly becomes an NPC...

The premise is an interesting one; it raises the question of the difference between the results of a system where everyone (or nearly everyone) has an implied class, and the hard-coding of class into the mythic reality of the game world. I agree with the various sentiments that it needs some...

Astronomy Domine by Pink Floyd for a psychedelic slower-than-light Traveller game Dominion by Sisters of Mercy for a Birthright campaign The Prophet's Song by Queen All of Queen II Five Years by Bowie Warrior on the Edge of Time by Hawkwind The Necromancer and Cygnus X-1 by Rush Return of the...

I did something similar. It really wasn't onerous to implement, once the initial matrices had been written down. And there is the satisfaction of switching from a bardiche to a military pick when facing off against heavily-armored opponents. Fighters would tend to allot their initial...
