Mod Note: Or not. Goodbye.

Any adventures- be they modules, movies, TV shows, or short stories & novels- that center on travel can be mined, adapted & used for adventures & plot hooks for a ship-centric mercantile/exploration campaign. Consider: Any caravan Firefly tv show Kung Fu tv show The Odyssey Stories about the...

I voted “Very rarely”, but there’s a caveat: most of the campaigns I’ve been in have been open ended. By that, I mean there may have been a big initial goal, but the adventures continued with those characters. Only a very small number actually ended after a single big goal had been achieved.

You might also make some kind of anthro-canid PC with a revenge-quest backstory, seeking justice for cousin Cricket.

Wrong? Yes…but in the right group, excellent.

One of my cousins is working on a project that essentially has him working here in D/FW 4 days a week while his wife & kids are still living in Houston. He travels home every Friday, coming back here on Sunday nights. The project is expected to last some ways into 2025. SMDH. His parents...

Fair enough. That said, we tend to avoid too much actual discussion of the lives of the passings we memorialize in these threads. Moving on?

I eat more kinds than I cook with- I only buy white buttons and portobellos.

I forgot about dice. I started off with a hard-edged purple set I had to crayon in the colors. (I still have them.) I bought a couple more sets between 1977 and 1992, but not many. Mostly extra d6s for board games. But in the early 1990s, Alan & Kathy Hench of Austin were the family that...

I never really got into painting minis, but I have several hundred pounds of them- lead, pewter, resin, cardboard & plastic- mostly of fantasy, sci-fi characters. Included in that are not just heroes & foes, but things like Dwarven Forge (and other) terrain. They come from a variety of...
