    D&D General Has anyone played in a group where everyone was a member of the same species? (+)

    I ran a 3e short campaign almost exactly like this, including the none-Dwarf PC, who was... ... an adopted half-orc :)

    What is, in your opinion, the single WORST RPG ever made, and why is it so bad?

    Leading Edge Games. Yeah, there's a pretty good review of it here: I'd love to see an updated version with the same rules, but improved components. Meanwhile, the Aliens RPG had the following useful guidance on skills "Most are self-explanatory":

    What is, in your opinion, the single WORST RPG ever made, and why is it so bad?

    To be fair, the Small Arms Combat System (which I presume you are referring to) does describe itself as "a stand-alone game or as a combat system for any other game", rather than as a RPG. For those not familiar with the Phoenix Command line, they did also produce some RPGs (e.g. Aliens, and...

    D&D General WotC Founder Peter Adkison On Hasbro's Layoffs

    Just to nitpick :) but the layoffs are global, and redundancy pay is law in some countries. As you say, it is usually based on number of years with the company. In the UK the statutory calculation is detailed here: https://www.gov.uk/redundancy-your-rights/redundancy-pay.

    One song that made you feel something.

    Of recent music, I was also going to post this. I grew up a couple of miles away from him (the beach in the video is the Eastern boundary of my home village), and he is something of a local hero (he still lives here, and is involved with local charities). A colleague was a massive fan, and was...
