Pretty cool Quora submission for those interested: The history of women's appearance in comic books is a long and complicated one. Also, there's an illustration on the Planet Comic's page of an egg shaped man holding a brazier that looks vaguely similar to the AD&D statue of Moloch...

I'd imagine that would tank ad revenue. I've noticed other forums requiring the "are you a human" click box test. I think I'm beginning to understand why.

Too cool. Didn't know that, thanks!

D&D just seems to be making all the right choices of late. I'm more than a little excited about their future now.

Not going to lie, a little nervous typing this one into Google... Never knew the name, but recognize the trope. I always felt something was off while playing the Tomb Raider reboot because of the odd way they really leaned into portraying Laura's frequent gruesome injuries. I think I can chalk...

Larry Elmore, right? Only asking in case I missed some lore here.

For what it's worth, been working perfectly for me all day today. California, USA. Desktop and mobile.

I've never seen that Frazetta drawing. You can really feel the weight of that down swing!

Was Red Sonja the beginning of the chainmail bikini? I can't recall an earlier instance myself... Anyways, scantly clad warriors are never going to go away; they're iconic for a reason. For every person that sees it as sexist there's another that sees it as empowerment. Lead singer for Castle...

Just a reminder he was one of eight consultants listed in the D&D 5e Player's Handbook, so not a complete unknown to WotC. Also, his pipe smoking was well known because it played a prominent part in his videos. I had just a passing familiarity of Pundit and even I made the connection at the time.

Haha. Exactly what I got going on. I'm totally stealing that phrase too, thanks. Those are some pretty pedals for sure!

Maybe it's time I clean up my rat's nest of pedals strewn around the ground...

Nice! I've never found a comfortable seating position. All three of my guitars our SG shaped and just don't "lock in" with my body, so I might need to play around with other styles for a better fit.

I wonder how many like me were introduced to him thanks to DCC needing funny dice... Anyway, terrible news. Liked watching his energetic dice videos on YouTube. I have three full sets of his dice myself. Thought they felt great, but tired of constantly marking the numbers for visibility.

I have to say, looking at OSRIC 3.0 and Dragonslayer side by side has made me appreciate this rule set all the more. Not a fan of percentile strength, weapon nonspecializing, and overly complex spell descriptions to just name a few. Not sure why both dislike Bards though, they're one of my...

Me too. Has a very otherworldly fairy tale quality to it.

Thanks so much for sharing. Reminded me to download the latest copy and give it more of a look through. Too bad, it seems OSRIC 3.0 is too far removed from the original to be an actual reference for me and not changed enough to entice me to drop my current OSR systems (percentile strength...

My thoughts exactly. Perfectly said. Clever comparing it with Earthdawn too. When it came out I was just out of high school playing D&D daily completely invested in the Forgotten Realms setting. Didn't think for a second I was going to care about the setting, but bought it for material to...

The mechanics look interesting, but the CalArts style just isn't my thing at all. I just picked up NImble and DrawSteel, so if either doesn't wow me I might give this a shot later on.
