In the original toy line, each action figure (definitely not dolls) came with a comic book. It was thought boys needed something explaining the lore to keep them interested in the product. Those comics were quite different from the cartoon, with He-Man being a more Conanesque, savage barbarian...

Shady Sands can rest easy knowing this stalwart New California Republic Ranger stands vigilant.

Terrible pacing and contradictory plot elements describes a lot of books I've read and movies I've watched. In Blade Runner, the day is divided into three (I think) shifts and a character can only do such much investigating every shift. While a character doesn't have to rest for one shift, if...

And he keeps popping up on my Facebook feed! Did you guys cast a spell or something?

I don't know if you've ever played WoW, but each class has abilities and they have cool downs. i.e. Once used, a certain period of time has to pass before you can use that ability again. In WoW, you have some abilities you can use any time, you have others that have a longer cool down period...

I started out with a tan basecoat. I mixed that tan with some Vallejo Japanese Uniform (Japanese WWII uniform color) and put on two more layers. I used some Citadel Darkoath Contrast paint diluted for a wash. Then I used a mix of Japanese Uniform and Vallejo Dark Sand. (Dark Sand is actually...

I played D&D 4th edition when it was released in 2008 and then started playing World of Warcraft later than same year. After a few hours of playing WoW, I realized the cool down abilities reminded me of D&D's at-will, per-encounter, and per-day powers. The way D&D 4th edition had those...

I’ve been on a painting break for a bit. This is the Mysterious Stranger from Fallout.

I'm still a little bitter about making the monk one of the care character classes. Maybe with enough time I'll get over it. I really like Advantage and Disadvantage. It's an elegant solution compared to figuring out fiddly plusses or minuses.

Okay, all this Whitman stuff is blowing up on Facebook for me. Stupid algorithm.

I tried, but @Dannyalcatraz is some sort of rules lawyer and is immune to all my cheating.

In the early days, long before Whitman arrived, I think there was a little bit of resentment from Gygax and TSR in general towards other companies producing RPGs. i.e. These companies dared to compete in a market created by TSR with their inferior imitations of D&D. I'm not a market...

Throwing books away used to rub me the wrong way. Books are valuable! Throwing them away seems like such a waste. Almost akin to book burning! Except it really isn't. The books I've tossed were mass produced and had very little value to anyone. Yes, I've donated books to libraries and...
