Is the opposite of "fur babies" then... skin puppies?!? Anyway, four. All adults, and two of them with families of their own. Six grandkids so far.

No, they don't fit it at all. There were no corporations in the truly modern sense, just robber barons and industrial tycoons.

I actually don't prefer to give much thought to cosmology anymore at all. The "prime material plane" does connect to other worlds, but what exactly that connection is is vague and mysterious. Obviously outsiders, if I have them, come from somewhere, but if the PCs go anywhere, it's like the...

Scrambled with cheese, diced onions, spicy sausage and hot sauce served on a tortilla. Or an omelet. Or over hard in a pinch.

Try not to be pedantic. Chris Perkins was with WotC and that's his quote.

I like how even WotC can't keep their story straight on whether or not 5e ended or not.

Not much, yet, sadly. I read 106 books in 2025, so far in 2026 I haven't logged a single one. Because I got back into Star Wars: Old Republic, and it's been sucking up too much of my free time. That said, I want to quickly finish several books that I've been reading before I have some work...

I like the DIY aesthetic, the rules lightness, and the darker, low fantasy vibe that is common in the OSR. That said, I'm often irked by the OSR claiming to be... well, old school. You contrast OSR with "modern" games (your own scare quotes) but the OSR is a modern movement, and the champions of...

My favorite type of game is low level, low powered, low fantasy semi-horror in a secondary world fantasy setting. Kind of The X-Files or Supernatural meets The Witcher, but without the super-powered power fantasy characters of the Witcher; just regular Joes trying to get by in a dark, horror...

I'm playing it now. I'm having fun. 🤷

I prefer my supers in a space opera setting. Kind of like the Dan Abnett and Chris Yost run of Starjammers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova, but with no actual characters from Earth.

No interest in anime or manga. No interest in Dr. Who. Very little interest in Star Trek.

"You think anyone wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it!" - Napoleon Dynamite Actually, I quote Napoleon Dynamite all the time. For some dumb reason, I think "Make yourself a dang quesadilla!" and "Your mom goes to college!" is hilarious. "I ain't...

Somewhere around 2-3.

There's no rehabilitation possible for a movie that terrible. It's not really even fun bad, just bad bad. In the 90s, I was a big fan of D&D and Street Fighter and both of those movies were just.... so disappointing. What a bummer both of those were on two of my favorite franchise opportunities...
