I might add a unique magical effect where the user of the staff can tell if a food item has reached their desired degree of "doneness" - i.e. whether that roast they put in the oven has reached medium-rare, maybe letting them know if it's unevenly done so they know need to rotate it or flip it.

I mean - the Drow always felt like they took a lot of cues from the Melnibonians, so the shift makes sense. Also, a branch of elves that were predominantly underground and had serious problems with sunlight would probably also have a melanin problem, so this feels like the right move for me.

I'm just going to say - if you're going to sell what is glorified print-it-yourself graph paper release from a time that (on the Quadrille Graph Paper front) you couldn't go down to the grocery store and buy a pad of 1/4" graph paper, maybe bundle the two releases together and sell them at $.99...

Well, this puts them at the full Lodoss! Replay/Actual Play: Check! Tabletop RPG material: Check! Sequential Art: Check! Animated Adaptation: Check! Prose Fiction: finally, Check! Arguably, you could say that Lodoss has a video game over Critical Role at this point, but that's kind of just...

I like these, though you'd need to do something special to distinguish the collector's book from Art & Arcana. Make it the annotated editions of Chronicles & Legends and I'm in. Definitely agree with this, along with getting a more diverse group of media figures - but instead of doing this as...

First character death was my first D&D character, a Magic-User, in my first adventure, Keep on the Borderlands, after a fight with some rats when he failed his save vs. disease.

I do a little of both. The majority of orcs are closer to Elder Scrolls (or, for that matter, Earthdawn) style Orcs - they exist in the world and have their own culture. Grummush (if I decide to use him) instead is basically a companion deity of Hextor, one of his generals in his quest to...

I think this is one of those cases where time has not been kind to the issue due to the advancement of technology - nowadays taking screen shots of a game or computer program is pretty easy. Back then, you would have had to set up a physical camera, and hope you took the photo at the right point...

I'll also say that depending on the setting your using, it can be incredibly fast to create a character. In Sprawlrunners, the serial-numbers-filed-off version of Shadowrun for Savage Worlds, I was able to create a group of 5 characters on my own in a couple of hours (at about 15-20 minutes per...

I actually got my copy of the Catacomb Guide autographed by Janell Jaquays at the last Portland Retro Gaming Expo (she gave a talk on the level design for Quake II).

Not too surprised by this - after LoadingReadyRun saw their local dollar stores carried Magic Cards, they put together a draft stream using a bunch of aftermarket M:TG boosters from a Dollar Store, to see if it was something that would be playable. I'm not surprised RPG dice are showing up as...

"In this campaign, you are all playing Ghola of Duncan Idaho."

There's an apocryphal story I've heard about the tabletop RPG industry in Japan that I'd like to see if there's any way to find out if it's true or not. The story goes like this: One of the common columns and featured works in Japanese tabletop RPG magazines throughout the 1980s and into the...

I'm going to reserve interest until we get some additional information on what we're supposed to be playing (Future War, Time Travellers, All of the Above?)

You might want to adjust the formatting of the post - it makes it look like all the people on the Weaving Asian Stories panel are white people, instead of it being Daniel Kwan as the moderator with the other 4 panelists. Maybe adding a couple of lines and maybe a horizontal rule between each...

Calling it now - Mordenkainen and Elminster as Planeswalkers cards for this set.

Well, the Cyberpunk video game appears to be doing giving something of a boost for R. Talsorian Games' sales. We'll see if this continues after the video game comes up out.

I wouldn't mind it - I've picked up some third party books like Fifth Edition Foes, but something more official wouldn't hurt.

Have some elemental related effects - ongoing electrical or cold damage on impact, an explosive blast of heat. Possibly related to this - Sling Stones that can have a touch-range spell cast on them, and have the spell go off on whatever target you hit with the stone.

In the '90s - yes. Now, he'd be Keanu Reeves if the EN World Servers were running in our heads.
