Now where'd I leave my fainting couch?

I always have a fondness for "Fox on the Run".

Age of Worms would make for an interesting series - and with enough variation in environments and events as well as a building conspiracy.

"Happy Christmas (War is Over)" may be peak Lennon preachiness, but that's one reason I like it. That's kind of his thing for a lot of songs and I'm totally here for it. But then, that's also why I often like Christmas songs done by rock artists - they are a bit more likely to question things...

I think zakael19 is on the right track in the sense that the thing that makes setting lore matter to the players... is the players. It could be by direct investment of effort through shared world-building as in zakael19's post. But it could also just be attitudinal whether directly invested or...

I'm not sure I'd be able to stop slapping a player who tried that in front of me...

Some corner of the internet is probably not getting along with the 5e.2024 rule set considering druids now get a wild companion.

Say it tain't so!

That may be true for Cook, but there are other tales of independent adventurers out there in the age of exploration and colonialism. I did a little looking around at possible sources for Kipling's The Man Who Would be King and there are a number of people who would fit the bill for truly being...

Gotta stay away from "Oldies" radio stations then. When I lost my favorite local radio station to a new format, I retreated to the local Oldies station and I've heard more Bee Gees over the last decade than I did between about 1980 and 2010. But then that station's definition of Oldies is now...

Difficult question in some ways. The Player's Handbook is the first one I actually bought for myself and so that has a special place for me. Yet the Dungeon Master's Guide is the single most prominent book to tie together everything that is the 1e AD&D soup in ways that vary from brilliantly...

December 1st and my wife just Whamageddoned us. :rolleyes:

I don't think I would consider this a particularly conventional Christmas song - and that's in its favor. It's a fairly traditional pop love song with a Christmas theme as a wrapper. I grew up the son of a church organist - and I DETEST most traditional Christmas music because of overexposure...

I put my ear buds in and listen to podcasts to immunize myself.

Wow. You encounter it so often you could make a game out of trying to avoid it but ultimately are forced into it?

One thing's for sure - this site shows you that people approach D&D, RPGs, and the gaming community in general in VERY different ways. And some of them are completely delusional.

Playwright Tom Stoppard has died at 88. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/nov/29/tom-stoppard-playwright-of-dazzling-wit-and-playful-erudition-dies-aged-88?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

At the next Gamehole Con, the place I most readily get to try new games, I want to try one or more of the Cypher System games, Vaeson, and maybe Savage Worlds. Otherwise, I hope we finish the Curse of Strahd campaign so my daughter can get the Cyberpunk campaign. And I'm going to still try to...

I think word order implies meaning and emphasis here. There's a difference between "no canonical dragonborn mercenaries in BG" vs "canonically no dragonborn mercenaries in BG". The former says there are none defined in present canonical sources vs the latter saying canonical sources say there...

That's the kicker - it actually implies very little - other than the fact that those character options are present in the setting. Present in what proportion or numbers? 🤷‍♂️ That's anybody's guess.
