What if some mountains came out of the sky and…just stood there? If Snarf were in your group, you could just have every exit surrounded by Bards.

THIS! Anything around me may be transmogrified into my creative processes for something else. In the RPG realm alone, I’ve had characters and campaigns based on: 1) Songs by Tony Iommi, Queensryche, BÖC, Yes, Follow For Now, and others 2) miniatures I’ve collected. 3) art & photos I’ve...

My Dad used an honor system for leave & sick days in his business. And he tried a time clock for a month before turning it into a paperweight. His employee turnover was extremely low.

Have done. The clearest examples I can think of were buying GURPS Martial Arts (G:MA) and a slew of RIFTS & other Palladium books, including one of arms & armor. TECHNICALLY, I owned a GURPS 2Ed core rulebook and ran some RIFTS. But I had the GURPS core book because I was in a group that...

It looks interesting…but I’m more interested in the ELO cover. 😂

I’ve been in that particular situation several times. When I was an Econ major, not only were the school’s own professors high flyers, the visiting professors were literally some of the most famous academics in their fields- the guy I took 101 with was literally the man whose book was the #1...

The refund should come from the school, which should can the prof for using manifestly flawed teaching tools. As for the book itself? I’ve used professors own books in college and beyond. But in each case, the books were actually accurate.

Just saw this doozy, and shared it with my Dad (an MD). https://imgur.com/gallery/future-of-medical-education-now-with-sources-hVOCqrD Somewhat taciturn by nature, he was struggling between silent disapproval and opening the floodgates to his damned up expletive reservoir. (Restraint won out...

Tomorrow, I’m going to the Dallas Market Hall for the InterGem Jewelry show, as I’ve done a couple times a year for at least 2 decades now. This one feels different. As you might expect, old faces get replaced by new ones, and there’s been some real changes in my life situation that will limit...

I haven’t rolled polyhedra with intent since 2014 due to a confluence of events. Nothing I saw in the prerelease notes of 5Ed interested me. It just left me cold, so I didn’t buy a single product. In addition, I was essentially ghosted by my game group because I wasn’t interested in...

Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt has died. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mens-college-basketball/breaking-news/article/sister-jean-dolores-schmidt-loyola-university-chicago-icon-dies-at-106-040416295.html

I have a list of band names. One of my faves is: Alias, A.K.A. Alter Ego. Every person in the band would perform under a stage name that is the REAL name of an established performer who uses a stage name. So you’d have something like “Reginald Dwight” on keyboards, “Chaim Witz” on bass, “John...

I’d never heard of it, so I looked it up. https://www.unsupervisednerds.com/reads-full/2021/1/20/the-tommy-westphall-universe https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/

On the one hand, I’m almost always happy to see people living the tenets of their faith. OTOH, I hate that it’s so rare that it’s newsworthy.🫤

I’ve seen a few reports over the past few days that G&L has gone out of business. Employees let go; doors locked. There’s an accompanying (unconfirmed) rumor that Fender is going to be buying them out. Personally, I’m a fan of their designs and ergonomics, but I don’t own anything yet. A...
