    Funko Pop! in Trouble

    Pops of our kids were a GREAT Xmas gift for my wife two years ago, but that's not a gift with a lot of "re-buy-ability". En toto: I have a Commander Data at work (this is off topic, but by way of explanation: Data is in a bin with a bunch of other Data action figures--the admin is big on...

    Funko Pop! in Trouble

    I can see a future where Funko and Super7 merge/buyout. They both are niche, and there's probably a market for Pops/Soda, Reaction, Ultimates, and whatever Mondo is doing under the same corporate overlord.

    Free League Publishing Announces New One Ring Adventure

    The first Free League TOR product that I'm going to pass on, since I have the box already. But it's a net positive this info is staying in circulation.

    Burger me!

    The best use I have for it is to take the individually wrapped singles, toss them on the hot grill (still wrapped) and race to see which one inflates first--cheese races can be a blast when one is in a certain, uh "mindset" at a cookout/barbecue. Of course, I also get a kick out of "Peep...

    Burger me!

    Be really lazy and use bacon sliders!

    Burger me!

    WC is Midwest too, but not to the degree they were 20 year ago. Don't sleep on WC breakfast. Those fresh eggs make a world of difference. Nearest WC to me is only a 15 minute drive, but it's to the southwest, which is a way I literally never go. And if I AM going that way, the really good...

    Free League Publishing Announces New One Ring Adventure

    Literally my exact thoughts on this system. Especially the idea of a coherent campaign narrative. But I guess it's cool that TOR leaves it up to the GM, they're more "modules" than "adventure paths."

    Burger me!

    Black bean burger with bacon. Doesn't need to be a "fake" burger, it's a good sandwich in it's own right.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    A bit of a random grabbag of recent purchases: Grabbed Ginny Di's Deck of Boons and Banes during Prime Days, HeroQuest First Light with the 25% one Toy or Game coupon at Target and Crypt of Perpetual Darkness, and the Alien: Second Edition Starter Set Kickstarter just showed up. I'm eying the...

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    I was just thinking about this (when I saw this news break), and I really wish DL had stayed/returned to the old "Law-vs-Chaos" that Gygax had played around with, and less good-vs-evil. I mean, I appreciate the exploration of "good can do bad things," but I never felt the overall cosmology...

    Harvest Festivals

    Truth in television (or orchard gift shops, as the case may be): every year, I forget that we "need" so many apple-based jams, jellies, baked goods, and sauces, but we leave the orchard with plenty. We went apple picking today; I teased my kids to watch out for the applejackalopes wandering the...

    OOTS 1334: Like Clockwork

    Oh, that was a deep cut. But my wife--an Oz fan and not a D&D player--was able to laugh at the joke, so hats off to Burlew for that one!

    D&D's Beer Collaboration Continues With Special Edition Beer/Dice Tower Combo

    They are in Michigan, you should get a deposit back per can! This is so tempting, but I bought last year's bottle of the beer...and have been holding on to it for a special occasion. I really need to just accept that "Tuesday" counts as "a special occasion."

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    Or the Albino Silver in that Dragonlance story.

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    Fully off topic, but ye gods, I miss when THAT was the D&D webpage.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    I was more thinking of using up some of the metric crapton of acrylic my wife has in our basement. The things that pile up when your partner is a crafter and engineering teacher (and descended from hoarders)... But I do love Etsy.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    While it is on the back of the poster map, I can see what @agrayday means if they are saying that one "too busy." Although I personally like the art on it, a transparent acrylic "bullseye" with the bands labeled and in the right scale would be pretty nice. Maybe I could get on that...
