The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Sometimes subtext isn't as sub, as some people would think.

That's part of a three-pronged messaging system: there's the subliminal, the liminal, and the superliminal.

This is me refraining from engaging with people on these forums who seem to believe that their individual experience with 5E must be the universal experience and that anyone who claims to have some other experience is either lying or playing the game wrong and not as intended.

It’s Now Possible to Play Doom Within Doom

Doom is the poster child of video game modding, and this one person manages to take the original and create an Inception-style amalgamation.

Oh, how wryly self-referential. Mr. Eco would surely approve (ambivalently).

Yeah, but can you play Doom on it?

Trying to dig up things on Dungeons and Dragons, board games, and the satanic panic, and missed by a bit over a 100 years...

From the Standard in London, 29 Mar 1864:

I got sidetracked in 1975. Looks like board/war gaming conventions and D&D hit the media in 1975 (no panic yet) and I put a bunch of snips from the articles at:

D&D in the 80s, Fads, and the Satanic Panic

Can you remember any specific shows with those panels, and which mainstream news programs might have hosted them other than the famous 60 Minutes episode? Perhaps we're having a bit of a semantic issue here. There are (depending on how you count) around 15,000 - 18,000 state and local law...

Includes what a reporter says they overheard in an early D&D game.

Trying to figure out what acronym or word means "accidentally make something way too awesome for what was intended" and would fit in that small of a space in a sentence.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Eberron Chicago-style campaign setting pizza. I like how it really celebrates the dungeonpunk asthetic sauce, something that most other campaign settings pizzas will only use sparingly. And the sheer volume of it means that you can truly put whatever game elements toppings you can imagine in there. You want playable robots, goblin bards, and mad-scientists pineapple, anchovies, and ham? Go for it, there's plenty of room!

But the problem is, it's a casserole...not a pizza. A delicious casserole, yes, but it's more like a lasagna than a pizza. And if you're craving pizza or lasagna, you're going to be disappointed.
