    Community and Thankfulness

    Oh boy, I tip my hat off to you. I love UG, but those forums... point taken. I believe that. Probably more than ever too. Was absolutely floored to find out J-Lo doesn't even sing many of her hit songs. Not just lip syncing, like there's other people who sing the song she's lip syncing to. Talk...

    Community and Thankfulness

    Agreed, but it seems to be "well meaning" at least? Also, the ratio of jerks/friendlies is better! For instance, if the strings on my Fender are clanking and I post about it on a guitar forum, I'm mostly going to get some solid advice from people. At worst, I might get the, "Eew, you have a...

    Community and Thankfulness

    Dropping in to once gain give thanks. I've been visiting Reddit and Steam pages to get guidance on a game I was playing (Silksong, it's hard!) and just baffled at how awful everyone is to each other. For every one decent poster, there's like a hundred jerks! I wish I was exaggerating... 😖...

    Mythic Bastionland - initial impressions, and making a Realm

    Just finished reading it and loved what I saw. There's a certain creepy otherworldliness to ancient fairy tales and myths I think modern D&D lacks that Mythic Bastionland understands completely. As for running it, I'm beginning to doubt I have the imaginative chops to make it interesting. I...

    D&D General Tim Kask, TSR's First Employee, Passes At Age 76

    Sad day. I loved listening to him talk about the early days of TSR and his thoughts on the game at the time. Grateful he uploaded so many videos.

    How do you define "Heartbreaker?"

    I thought the term came from someone having a long relationship with a game, but over the years irreconcilable differences developed that lead to a "breakup" of sorts. This could come from irksome game mechanics, wanting to deviate from the established tone, a shift in one's morals/politics...

    Games You Rarely See Played "Correctly"

    Any specific strategies to winning you remember? To me, it seems to be buy everything you possibly can and be lucky.

    Mythic Bastionland - initial impressions, and making a Realm

    Slowly making my way through the book and blown away by how dense it is. Thanks to the author's assumption the reader knows how to handle a lot on their own, it can cram a ton of info into each page.

    Monopoly. I don't know a single person who plays it RAW.

    Just picked this up to read over the holidays. Love what I'm seeing so far.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Did I read the rules right in that players don't choose who to attack, it's random? For theater of the mind play, I kind of like this way of doing things.

    Creator finds copy of product on Amazon

    And to be clear, for those that don't follow her, she only made the one. She's not mass producing these.

    How's your FLGS doing after the Diamond Comic Distributors crash?

    AD&D 1E AD&D Retroclone Design Goals

    Love AD&D and the OSR systems from fans wanting to take their stab at improving it. In what ways do you plan on deviating from the original?

    OSR New changes are afoot for OSRIC!

    @GreyLord I'm still a bit unclear which one you prefer, but OSRIC 3.0 includes ascending and descending AC, so it has you covered. (y)

    That's SIR Idris Elba

    Been a fan since I saw him on The Wire. Speaking of which, I wonder how his costar West is doing... Oh dear... :oops:

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Awesome! I have three for this year: Paradise Lost (my favorite book, but can't seem to finish it...), LotR (movies were so good, I've put off reading the actual book), and Alien Clay (my first sci-fi book!). I liked that it was left up to the reader to decide if aimless heroism is admirable...

    Creator finds copy of product on Amazon

    I enjoy that creator a lot and sympathize with her frustration, but "stolen" is a bit dramatic here. She provided inspiration at best.

    OSR New changes are afoot for OSRIC!

    Very true and I appreciate the efforts to preserve the old rules in a more readable format. Your comment and @jonesymat 's made me grab my old AD&D book off the shelf and it kind of clicked what they were going for. 0D&D Theives just had disable since looking for traps with words was the norm...
