Ah man, I'm weak. I've been unable to resist making silly jokes in threads where folks are taking things too seriously. I guess I can't be part of the squad. :-(.

Oh, the squad is totally about making silly jokes while everyone is ready to explode. Luckily, no one is carrying greatswords on them in real life.

Have a particular system you like to use?

There are so many fun JRPG inspired TTRPGs right now like Fabula Ultima, Goblin Slayer, and Fever Knights.

The one we use the most is 5E D&D, but I've tinkered around with Big Eyes Small Mouth and Goblin Slayer. We're pretty excited about Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass...it's probably going to be my next full-scale campaign.

Wasn't aware of Obojima. That looks cool as hell, thank you.

Same. I post all kinds of typos and edit my posts when I notice them. You can edit posts for a reason. So why not?

I might see a typo I made a week later and, yes, I'll fix it

Elsewhere: If a street "intersects" another street, then that's called an intersection. That doesn't change just because there's no traffic control device on the road you're on.

I know it is not for everyone, but the fact that anyone still reads and enjoys it all these years later is icing on the cake for one of the most fun times I had running D&D ever.

I can empathize with that desire. Often wished I'd kept notes or at least had a better memory of some of my old games so I could preserve them online somewhere for anyone who might be interested. Pre-internet roleplaying is kind of alien territory for a lot of people and not terribly well documented beyond a few of the biggest games and names. The RPG hobby's been around long enough now that I expect we're due to see an uptick in that sort of thing - "game memoirs" might become a niche subgenre at some point, which I wouldn't mind seeing.

What meetings have you attended where someone has showed up and engaged in "bedtime activities"!?

Really depends on the kind of meeting we're talking about. Technically speaking, both trysts and assignations are defined as meetings.

Of course, I suppose we could be reading too much into it. Maybe "bedtime activities" just refers to brushing and flossing your teeth, right?

That's still kinda rude to do in a meeting, though. At least, that's what HR told me.

I wish that was already a thing. At least from some of the luminaries we’ve already lost and some that cannot be long for this world.
