yeah, probably the most influential book in my life. It made tech cool -- at least in my mind.

How long are your sessions and do you find yourself using all 20 pages? What do they generally look like if you had to write an outline?

Now I really want to see them!!

I always love to get down into the weeds into how we prep and run our games. So, show your real-world prep notes! No shaming! No criticism! Just us sharing what we put together to run our games. Here's my one-page prep notes for my game tonight! I have some Dyson maps I'm not showing but these...

Is enworld a scam? You have an account here.

I think there's a subtlty easily missed in these conversations which is what is released under an open license and what we wouldn't expect to be. A company's core fictional IP, I wouldn't expect that to be released under anything except maybe some type of community license that, I imagine, can...

This isn't a matter of who can afford it and who can't. I don't think there's any evidence that publishers who...

Monty Martin of Dungeon Dundes: "Whether or not we do conversions for other systems depends on a lot of variables. Audience size, cost, but also licensing are all issues. I am not enthusiastic about working under viral licenses (such as the ORC) or licenses which are subject to possible changes...

Yep. Early 50s here and lots of things are catching up. Eye glasses, sleep woes, and so on. I worry about cognitive decline both for running and playing RPGs and making useful RPG stuff for other people. The hard part is how to even know it's happening. Are we good at knowing our own cognitive...
