But the laughter about how bad the writing describing it in the early stories was continues until we are hacked dow. ;-)

I'm thinking of the 4,000 BCE Sumerians, 3,000 years of Egypt compressed down to one time, pseudo-Europeans using a random mishmash of 6 centuries and dozens of countries of technology and fake armor and worshipping Greek gods from a millennial and a half earlier, etc... all regularly...

Certainly. Karl Treuherz in Fafhrd and the Mouser and the Barrier Peaks module are both cross genre and much of the Appendix N inspirational reading is decidedly not medieval. The pantheons in 1e Deities and Demigods disjointedly span five millennia as do the tech and clothing of their...

Re: Clothes out of time The world of Glen Cook's Garrett Files (first story from 1987) has a pretty D&Dish fantasy feel, and Garrett is an investigator in it. How egregious are the fedora trench coat, and door wirh frosted glass window? (All mid 1800s or later in our world).

Except for the grocery stores being an option, this sounds about as bad as someone trapped on a turnpike somewhere they can only eat at service plazas. But even then it feels like they might have mediocre fast food Chinese as a choice. I am so sorry. :-(

I think if it just happened to be a bunch of ogres on the way (not controlled by a boss, just something I had on the map from levels ago or something to add color and remind them of the threats normal people faced), I might make them minions here still.

Got the last can of it at the local store earlier this week. Wow is it good. So far I have not found many sours I like, but am 2 for 2 on liking key lime pie Berliner weiss. That type and a good pumpkin spice ale might be my two most non-standard favorite types (in among a bunch of more typical...

That doesn't narrow it down!

South Carolina the last 25+ years is nothing like northern and central Illinois were -- but a pretty good one has been in the neighborhood longer than we have, and decent one opened last year. And one of the bars we regularly MtG at has good stuff.

The part you quoted was supposed to be me talking about 1e' s fighters vs. 0-level opponents and tony monsters. I played 4e very little. I think when we've played 13th are the DM must have been telegraphing who the mooks are because I don't remember blowing dailies on them being a problem. I...

For major chains, I'm trying to remember if Shakey's pizza was actually good back in the day, but all I can remember after 40 years are the curly straws, player piano, and window to watch them make it. And, to be fair, I think the only pizza I didn't like in my young teens and before is the...

There are several local places I like the pizza from a lot and eat at... but I might have to take out a second mortgage if I bought it every week for my son's friends when we game instead of getting them from Little Caesars for $6.99 each.

Have all of them had revised versions over the years? Were any of the changes in the mechanics? Will they never have revisions to any mechanics in the future?

I think the idea is that for any type of RPG, if the optimal one for your particular taste was written today, it couldn't be worse and would likely be better than the one written in the past - for the simple reason that the tools people knew of in the past are a subset of the tools readily...

I took it as an example of another tool someone could use. A water-color painter doesn't have to use the newest oil-based paint tech, but it was an option. YMMV. As far as new things, I assume, for example, there is at least something introduced after 1981 that you like as a mechanic in...

In my inbox this morning... Changes in building codes over the summer throw a wrench into things... https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/troll-lord-games/tlg-the-factory/updates/26935?ref=bk-noti-project-update-26935
