If I'm lucky, my son will want, love, (and maybe even read/play) it all. Fingers crossed. He's very interested in and reads/rereads the (3e-to-5e) lore books directed at kids, but his busy schedule (school, gymnastics team, choir, orchestra, band, reading, and especially Lego building. Whew!)...

Dunno. I was still a student when I started lurking around this site, and all of a sudden I’m retired, and my dad will turn 80 in a few months.

The preview looks great. I’d be interested in a print (POD) version, as I rarely read PDF’s for fun.

Ugh. Guillain-Barré is brutal. Sudden progressive paralysis. Mercifully with good treatment the prognosis for recovery, even full recovery, is usually pretty good. With a lot of rehab. Best wishes to Jennell

Yes.

Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato) and Robotech (Macross) were absolute revelations, which transformed my expectations for extended narrative storytelling. And spectacle. American TV wouldn’t satisfy those new expectations until Twin Peaks.

The pace picks up again!* *: around Book 11.

Nice! The Cubicle7 preorder page says: "Physical copies sent Q4 2023. All orders of this product include a PDF redeemable via Drive Thru RPG." If anyone here has preordered this (or any previous Cubicle 7 preorder), can you confirm that the bundled PDF is available immediately upon preordering...

I bought both (kinda by accident).

My favorite shop! I was finally able to drop by again this summer, after a 7+ year absence. The employee, perhaps your daughter, was quite helpful with choosing a new board game gift for my daughter.

I’ve bought every edition and half-edition of D&D thus far. I’m sure I’ll buy this one. (If Wizards had blown up the OGL, I would’ve skipped their new edition and gone with Tales of the Valiant. Which I also bought.) 3.5e was GREAT! It gave my Ranger 6 skill points per level!! ❤️ 🤷‍♀️

You have neatly captured the essence of many now-40-year-old discussions!

My 1e DM houseruled or interpreted the rules that way back around 1983. It led to an odd sub game in our years-long campaign: We players responded by trying to research ‘alternate’ versions of existing spells so we could memorize both versions. Then at some point our DM decided we weren’t the...

Body horror is something I categorically dislike. It’s not something I find enjoyable in movies, in books, or in games. Other people have other aversions, and other interests. It seems essential to maintain an ongoing discussion of what people would enjoy, and what they might not, when...

There wasn’t an internet [for most of us] in the 1e era. We had the books, and some of us had access to some of the Dragon Magazines. When the rules were unclear or seemingly contradictory (as was so often the case. Sheesh. Gygaxian prose is fun to read, but it’s terrible for rules clarity…)...

A 1st level M-U lagging behind their retreating party would be pretty bold! But dropping caltrops from any other position would be a lot worse. 💥🥾

Scientists say yes!: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010945223001764 But it’s not a specific aphantasia trait. I’m a rather visual thinker, but faces (and names) are also very hard for me to retain/recognize/recall for all but my fairly close/frequent/long-contact people...

Great question and explanations! The way you describe TOTM sounds strange and unfamiliar to me - and I like strange and unfamiliar things. I answered “rough sketches or blurry images,” but it really varies. The best moments for me are fully immersive/theatrical, and I am briefly one with my...
