I am talking about forming an opinion about something in which you are un- or under- informed. In that case, you are using your (lack of) experience to form the opinion that maybe you just don't know enough to have something worth contributing. Edit: in other words, I think what you said and...

I am not familiar enough with non MtG CCGs but when it comes to RPGs, I’d be more sympathetic if it were still 1986 or maybe even 1996. But definitely not in 2026. You don’t have to be familiar with other games, you just have to be wise enough to understand that your own experience is...

Now I am imagining someone who approaches all card games as if they were Magic. Imagine sitting down to play bridge and asking the other players if they still play with Mana Burn. 😂

It makes me cringe when folks enter a discussion about any RPG as if it is D&D. I know I am guilty of saying “it’s all D&D to me!” But I mean that in a broad sense of a brand name used in a generic way, not because I don’t know the differences in rules, approach to play, player expectation, GM...

I don’t have specific advice but I’d love to hear everything about your B/X campaign, @Ciaran!

Here are all my elementals. Some are from when I first started painting minis and others are more recent.

Where I get the majority of my minis these days: Etsy. I believe this was a store called Goose Minis.

I am impressed with your long and detailed post about the evolution of pizza, but since you don’t talk about calzones, I am not sure you know what you are talking about when it comes to pizza. So allow me to try to make this thread about calzones for the next 300 pages.

This post helps to explain why nearly all magical items in my 5E games are bespoke and frequently split the difference between their 1E/2E and 5E versions.

And assuming he does a good job ;) - I plan to give him an in package mini of a merfolk druid on a manta ray mount I have an extra of for his wife.

Why would I be able to see a post in preview on the forum list and open the thread if I click on it from there, but not be able to see the thread at all in the actual sub-forum when I open it? I don't have the person blocked and I doubt I'd be able to see the thread no matter where I clicked on...

Repair guy is here to replace a part of the water heater and he has to go through the game room to work on it. We ended up talking way too long about D&D, and Call of Cthluhu, running games for 6-year-olds, and how his wife has gotten really into painting minis.

I do similar stuff in my homebrew around the assumptions about goblins and the like, wherein their common depiction in stories told among "the free folk" (aka the traditional good guys aka dwarves, halfling, elves, gnomes and sometimes human) is very much at odds with the diverse reality...

Parts of this convo is reminding me how in my overview of how to vet sources for academic research, I would bring up an example about how to avoid the trap of an appeal to personal authority made by someone without the training to have that authority. I would show them articles by an actual...

As I mentioned in my review, while I ended up liking some of these, I was disappointed overall when I first got the issue because I though the article was going to describe nine variation on an actual Wand of Wonder. And after 40 years in my memory that is what they had been, so I felt the...

Piercers. They drop with surprise and then the PCs have a chance to handle them at their leisure as they try to scuttle back up the wall mostly defenseless. They are a good "jump scare" monster. I esp. love having some drop early on in cavern exploration so the PCs are aware, but then have more...

I was (and remain) unfamiliar. I will look it up. Oh and as I mentioned in my review. The system itself is not one I still use, but at the time, it opened my mind to how much world building and setting the tone of places could be done with NPCs and defining them within a location.

I had a lot to say about this issue here: Dragon Mag Monday: #102 That "collection of canines" article was endemic of a lot of unnecessarily detail articles that seemed to be someone going into an encyclopedia and writing articles about what they found there in D&D terms. I am not a fan. I...
