It;s a TV quote, but this tops my list of all-time favorite quotes: "Don’t you ever try that again, that’s how people get store bought teeth." ~ Joe Mannix

I'd get Duncan Regehr back in the game! The most menacing vampire/Dracula ever to hit movie screens!* I mean, hey, he almost murders a child on screen (and also calls her a very naughty word). *Jerry Dandrige from the original Fright Night comes in a very close second.

Kind of. I'm an American and I do things on Thanksgiving, but we don't celebrate any of the usual colonialism tied to the holiday. It's really just an excuse for my aunt, uncle, and myself to go out for a nice meal.

I don't play a lot of video games anymore because my untreated ADHD is off the charts, but I've been playing a bit of Wildermyth every now and again and really enjoying it.

This would probably be my favorite, as well. It's a well-established folkloric creature and I'm a stupid huge fan of The Lair of The White Worm.

ENWorld, although begun as a D&D-only discussion site, has matured into the best general RPG discussion and news site online, IMO. Whether it be for D&D or other RPGs, ENWorld is often the first site to publish breaking news and vets it better than pretty much all other RPG discussion sites...

I've played a Warlock who was famously a coward, running from combat whenever things began to look grim for the party. Like a hero!

The same reason that specialists are needed in real life. You wouldn't hire a swordsman to do the work of a cat burglar. You wouldn't hire a safe cracker to do the work of a pickpocket. Whether using a skill-based system or a class-based system, specialist thieves have a place in the world.

AD&D. A mashup of 1e and 2e.

My own game, Sword Omen, had/has* a heavy emphasis on adventurers as desperate/foolhardy explorers financed by wealthy patrons and supplied with various hirelings (cooks, guides, porters, etc). There are also pretty extensive rules for wilderness travel and survival, including such things as...

By This Axe: The beaten and battered remains of a mercenary company have been forced to retreat from battle and, as they retreat through territory newly conquered by the enemy, looking for a safe haven in which to lick their wounds, they stumble across a small village ruled by a monstrous outlaw...

Maze Rats or Delver 2e. Both games laser-focused on dungeon crawling.

I really like the Six Million Dollar Burger at Bionic Burger in Wichita, KS.

I am an unabashed fan of Bungie's Myth computer games, so it probably comes as no surprise that I also adore the GURPS sourcebook for the setting of those games. GURPS Reign of Steel is hands down one of the best post apocalypse RPG setting books ever written. That said, I've never run it with...

I've never had an issue with the electronic scans (I had to get them when I worked as a US government security contractor), but have had similar issues with ink.
