    D&D General D&D Pronunciation Guide

    To me this sounds almost equivalent to saying that the word must be pronounced with a British accent (even though the audio sample is an unaccented monotone). It's IIRC primarily a British term and IIRC there's a version of the British accent that drops letters like that. So there's a case to be...

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    The Chosen Ones - not a specific adventure but a concept for modifying an existing adventure.

    Not really. "Social media' refers to microblogging sites, sites where you can "friend" people, and sites where a sense of community is levereged to subtly manipulate users to divulge personal information so that advertisers can profile them better. It doesn't just mean any site where users interact

    I had an idea pop into my head this morning for a Jovian moon named Ensalada which is made of iceberg lettuce (a parody of the real jovian moon Enceladus, whose surface is a giant iceberg floating on a planetwide sea). Could work as a gag in a Toon game.

    [Kobold Press] State of Play: shipping changes threaten the hobby

    In theory, but in practice the free exchange of information over the internet is hamstrung by IP law. To borrow something legally for free is probably going to involve some kind of DRM that doesn't work and prevents you from properly reading it at all.
