My hip is killing me, from merely contemplating how his left and right legs can be positioned like that.

Huh, I think I just lost at least 1d4 SAN.

If these folks began to hate on fluffernutter, I'd suspect that instance of their Hat Of All Things New would derive from the use of "fluffernutter" as a codeword on Critical Role. CR often seems to be a bête noire for some people that loudly dislike modern D&D and RPGs.

I think there's an Act of Parliament that demands that someone point out that if you keep digging, you will eventually find that it's turtles, all the way down.

Modern action movies actually seem to go with D&D falls; watch people jump from heights in the Fast & Furious movies, and walk away. John Wick. Any number of shows where someone dives/is thrown out a window or off a roof, lands on a car roof, smashing it spectacularly, and then slowly gets up...

Munchkin Paranoia was announced back in August, so if that's the [Redacted] project, the leaks have started, and they're coming from inside the (SJG) house! If that is the [Redacted] project, I am clearly a commie mutant traitor for re-revealing it. Can't wait to see what the new RPG project is.

A bison has 250 hp. A bull does 31-50 damage. Compare to a bugbear: 50 hp, 1d6 damage. 😲

If you have the quest from the blue jay, and you KO the giant eagles, the blue jay flies up and kills them all. 🤷‍♂️

I KO'd the giant eagles. Right after the fight, I go check something in inventory; I hear some dings and saw a damage number float by. "Ah, crap," I think, "Is someone on fire or poisoned or something?" Nope. It was the blue jay, killing the unconscious giant eagles.

Ken White goes over the sentencing guidelines in this podcast episode: Special Episode: How To Be A Smarter Consumer Of Legal News IIRC, there are D&D comparisons.

Maybe it's "A1 rights reserved"? They get first dibs on the steak sauce?

FWIW, Wererats of Relfren is in Dungeon #14.

I feel like there was an omission, something that makes Hero and GURPS look like pikers... <Exalted has entered the chat>

Playing GURPS years ago, I rolled all 1s on 5d6 (1 in 7776) for damage enough times that it became a "Bob did it again" thing. Of course, that was the damage of my character's full auto primary weapon, so I rolled 5d6 a lot. Still, all ones happened more than all sixes with that weapon. OTOH, I...

The original 3e PHB came with a CD-ROM with character generator software on it, and a promise for updates later. It was never updated.

In eleven days, it will be old enough to drink (in most of the US).

Him being declared a Hero of the Soviet Union is kind of weird, though, right?

That rule as written is that if you fail your Death Saving Throw, you are dead, and that means you remain unconscious until you get some first aid or other healing, if you don't die. But you are dead. And first aid can save you. You also die if you fail three consecutive times (which is...

Hey, my family's car when I was growing up was a 1973 Chevy Vega, once referred to on Remington Steele (IIRC) as the "car that rusted in the showroom." You could unlock the doors with a dime, flathead screwdriver, or anything that would fit in the keyhole. OTOH, my mom's boyfriend was a...

The post-apocalypse genre used to be referred to as post-holocaust, before the word was tied near-exclusively to the Shoah. Nuclear holocaust, post-holocaust, a Milestone comics villain named Holocaust, etc. See Gamma World 1e, GURPS Horseclans, etc. And the Starship Warden refers to the setting...
