    Sadly I have the 9th occupied but, if not, I would've joined in a heartbeat. Good luck! ☺

    D&D 5E Help me understand & find the fun in OC/neo-trad play...

    The thing is that, at least in my anecdotal experience, OC/neo-trad players usually do not come from a TTRPG background. Instead, they come from text roleplay on places like deviantART originally, and nowadays on Discord. I participated in one of these recently and it's fascinating how they...

    D&D 5E Help me understand & find the fun in OC/neo-trad play...

    Something else I wanted to say but forgot in my first post (and I don't where to add it, so that's why I'm writing it here) is that PCs in OC/neo-trad, the way I see it, have to be, most of all, vehicles for drama. It's not about PCs getting more powerful; instead, it's about creating characters...

    D&D 5E Help me understand & find the fun in OC/neo-trad play...

    I'm still reading the thread, so someone may have said this already, but OC/neo-trad as it is defined here is how I've been trying to play since I started roleplaying, back in 2001, so it's not something new. And it doesn't have to do with PC empowerment only; I love it and I'm mostly a forever...

    D&D General When did you leave D&D? Why? For what game? And what brought you back?

    The first time I left D&D (2nd Ed), I left for Vampire The Masquerade. For a couple of years I exclusively ran or played in WoD 1.0 games. Then I felt the itch to play something fantasy-related (I always oscillate between epic fantasy and goth stuff). I discovered D&D 3.0 (and then 3.5) and...

    A question about Highlander

    Highlander was (and still is) one of my life-long obsessions. Its world always felt so mysterious and cool. I ran a one-shot using a fan made adaptation to WoD 1.0 rules back in the day and it was lots of fun. I remember someone creating a more in-depth version for WoD 2.0 rules that I read but...

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    So much YES on the Cyclops restoration. I missed the team leader and main heartthrob SO much from the Fox-Men. Don't get me wrong: I love Wolverine, but for me Scott and Jean will always be the main couple, the heart and soul of the X-Men 🖤

    Well, that was one awesome season finale if I ever saw one. This felt SO good. I'm happy to have read somewhere that we'll get season 2 and potentially 3 of this, so I can only wait with baited breath until we get a release date. All the wonderful cameos in this episode made me wish for an...

    Spoilers SW: Tales of the Empire ( spoilers ). I

    What a great little show! And yeah, as somebody said upthread, the animation side of Star Wars remains as the undisputed provider of good stories. And holy naughty word! What a gorgeous show. And the action sequences! Breathtaking. Special mention to both Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee as great...

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    I gotta say: after 9 episodes, and some stumbles, this series is everything I hoped for and dream about when it was first announced back in the day. And yeah, I'm your basic bitch queer who's always loved the X-Men because it feels like a story about people like me who happen to be superheroes...

    D&D General The thread where I review a ton of Ravenloft modules

    As a forever Ravenloft lover, I gotta say I'm loving this series, @der_kluge And I totally agree with your assessments of the modules I've ran that you've reviewed! I've ran "Night of the Walking Dead" at least 3 times, the last time under 5e a couple of years ago. I sadly bought and tried to...

    Ooph! The whole series so far—and this episode in particular—hit a little too close to home as a queer person. The threat of having anyone turn on you, (because they're afraid you represent the end of "normal"/people like them), is something all queer people have to deal with. The heart-breaking...

    Spoilers Bad Batch: Final Season *SPOILERS*

    A pretty sweet ending for sure. I cried a couple of times in the episode proper, but the epilogue scene just broke me. The animated SW proves once again that it may very well be the best thing to come out after the original trilogy.
