One I like to share with my students when we study "The Great Gatsby": Before they would be Scott Lang and Mitchell Carson in "Ant-Man," Paul Rudd and Martin Donovan appeared in the 2000 A+E "Great Gatsby" as Nick and Tom Buchanan. Rudd and Donavan's "Ant-Man" co-star, Cory Stoll (Darren...

I don't know what customs or shipping costs, or exchange rates, would look like, but Free League's website offers "Brazil" as a shipping destination.

Yeah, I'm basically a Fry "Shut Up and Take My Money" meme every time Free League announces a new One Ring product (and Vaesen, Tales From the Loop, Alien...)

Apropos of nothing, "Onate's Foot" was one of the first episodes of "99% Invisible" I listened to.

Remarkably, this one simply went up for sale, no Kickstarter. I preordered in June, I think. I've flipped through mine a little, and completely agree with @Mikeythorn : completely beautiful (like all Free League's One Ring stuff). So, I've only read half the first Adventure and the last...

This is exactly what my impression was after running the Rebel starter set. I felt like my party struggled with the improv element of the FF system rolls, and I chalked it up to almost all of them are coders or engineers (of all flavors).

If no one does it by the time I do retire, "Senior Retirement Dice" (large face) may be a market niche to be explored and tapped!

I'm not the only one?!?! Fun books. Does it count if we have adventures or splat books, but not the core rules? Because then add AD&D 1 & 2 and SAGA to the list below. (I purged Cyberpunk 2020, and most of 1, 2, 3/3.5, and SAGA in a "downsize" years ago, about halfway through the lifespan of...

Having trust issues just means you have a DM that's good at building suspense. Right? FWIW, it took me three days before I noticed it was "true" not "trust."

I think this would really force a paradigm shift in a lot of the groups I've played with, those whose approach is to "Leeeeroy Jenkins" everything they come across. I kinda like it, TBH.

Yeah, but that also has a lot to do with how the state incorporates municipalities. Here in Illinois, population has very little to do with it, and we only really have "Villages" or "Cities" (there's 15ish "Towns"), and the only real difference is a villiage's governing board is exactly six...

Ah, yes. I too have driven around Houston, Texas.

Oh, for sure. And my experience is that we Chicagolanders are the worst offenders. (e.g.: I don't know many Wisconsinites who say "I'm from Milwaukee" when they're from Kohler. But using "Up North" might be a close enough localization of the effect for argument.) Reminds me of the old cliche...

As a Chicagoan, I get the precedent in defaulting to the city. (I mean, I live 40 miles west of The Loop, but I still tell folks from anywhere else that I'm from Chicago as shorthand. And then they ask me how many times I've been shot at. And I sigh.)

Oh look! My two favorite categories of TTRPG products to throw money at: "Starter Sets I'll Never Play" and "Free League Products"! (Seriously. I have two intertwined problems.) I've been half-seriously developing a bard with a duck familiar (for the one time I get to pull off the "Put it on...

Oh, yeah. Sorry. :) This is my base: Homemade Luxardo Cherries But this one is functional: Luxardo Cherries Recipe | Boozy Cherries | Liqueur Syrup | EmilyFabulous I use fresh squeezed lemon juice from the "Emily" recipie in the "Nerd Cooks" mix, plus a few pinches of dark chili powder and a...

Amazing, for sure. I was inspired and I now make 'em. Luxardo's not super expensive, cherries have been dirt cheap this summer, and I found a base recipe online that I've made a few modifications to. I have a few friends that now get jars every year and they're great to have on hand as a host...

Huh. Also missed this one the first time around. Well, it's exciting to see so many folks praising the virtues of the Sazerac and the Boulevardier, two personal favorites. Murray's in Minneapolis, MN made a damn good Sazerac last time I was there. My go to "wedding drink" is a G&T, and if I'm...

For D&D, I have always been a greater fan of DL's one pantheon with "same deity, different name" and greater or lesser influence over a geopolitical area than FR's "We have seventeen gods of death*". *Admittedly, that's partially due to them constantly killing each other off. Ironic, no? I've...

As a Chicagoland resident, I feel targeted. I also think that I know of at least three Italian restaurants that I could get that at, as "side order of meatballs"
